Fresh PV Offers a Front-Row Look at the Season 2 Lineup in Action
A new character PV has been released, highlighting the unique combat styles of the fresh faces entering the series in Season 2!
The story follows Sakamoto—the legendary hitman feared by villains and revered by assassins alike—who gave up his bloody career after falling in love at first sight. After retiring, getting married, and becoming a father, Sakamoto now runs a quiet neighborhood convenience store. He’s traded his lean physique for a much rounder, more peaceful look, but his skills haven't dulled a bit.
In Season 2, Sakamoto goes undercover at JCC, an elite academy for assassins, to gather intelligence on "X" (Slur), the mastermind pulling the strings behind a series of hitman targetings.
The newly released footage delivers flash-fast, explosive action from the newcomers: JCC student Amane (CV: Kikunosuke Toya), the veteran JCC instructor Etsuko Satoda (CV: Misa Watanabe), and Yotsumura (CV: Shinshu Fuji), a man with a dark past as the former No. 2 of the Assassin Association. The trailer captures the blistering speed and high-stakes skill that fans have come to expect from the series.
With a live-action film adaptation also in the works, "SAKAMOTO DAYS" has captured the attention of a massive global audience. The world is watching as this next chapter of the saga unfolds.
