| I'll echo what others have said: easily the best episode of the anime adaptation so far. Takamura steals the show whenever he's on-screen. |
| The animation wasn't the best this episode but Gaku saying, "Who needs it?!" After losing an arm is fucking badass. |
| I had to change this because some loser couldn't make an actual argument. So....yeah I hope you guys like the new sig. |

Holy shit, best episode of the series thus far? This was insane.
F’s in the chat for the 170 who died in the JAA attack, but on a positive note, we now know who slur is and while he and Gaku are OP af, they don’t seem unbeatable.
“It’s a bit dismaying that an old friend has got fat” lmaoooooooooo. Taro v Slur was awesome, that might be the best animation we’ve had to this point? Until slur brought up his daughter, Taro was definitely on the back foot and then he seemed to be overpowering slur. We don’t know if that’s slur fighting at full strength though and there were obviously other factors going on around, but if you’re Sakamoto’s group you gotta feel a little confident coming out of that confrontation.
Gramps vs Gaku was so dope. Did I really just watch Gaku kick his own cut off arm as a projectile lmao?? Uda blowing himself up as a decoy for them to escape is crazy as well. Ton of action in this one
I’m really curious about uzuki/slur’s backstory, why taro tried to kill him back in the day and why he’s out to kill all hitmen? This is definitely not something taro can handle on his own so it’s going to come down to him trusting in his friends and his old comrades to come out on top.
S/O to the old lady in the hospital just watching in awe as hyo fights Taro lmao

| @Marinate1016 Glad to see people coming around on this. Thank you for cheering it on with me since day 1. |
| I had to change this because some loser couldn't make an actual argument. So....yeah I hope you guys like the new sig. |
| This episode went by way too fast and it just keeps getting better and better. All that slicing and dicing between Gaku and the grandpa samurai being a force to be reckoned with. Sakamoto faces off against Slur/Uzuki, but it clearly that Sakamoto was no match for Uzuki unless he goes full rage mode. |
 |
| Well, I guess it'd be no fun if Sakamoto could just body Slur. There is no call to be threatening a man's family though, we already know he is a piece of shit, no need to rub our noses in it. |
| Never speak ill of Sakamoto's wife and daughter. The FJA fight was cool with the huge explosion at the end. And lol MRI machine |
 |
| progressively losing interest honestly. Some characters are nice but the blood bath is getting disturbing and still don't care for Apart if he got hurt. |
 |
| Rip to the floors of underprepared mob characters that got wiped out the gate. They didn't think it would take two people to clean them up 😔 The guys getting chopped up by the swordsman was cold. Zip right through and gg. After least the second wave purs up more of a fight. Between Apart/Shin doing something and the old man doing more down below. When Sakamoto throws them aside to fight Slur 👀 things are getting serious now. Dudes basically begging to get beat by full power Sakamoto. Spared by the added guests frfr in the moment. |

| Best episode so far! Old guy is a total menace, easily my favorite character on the show! |
| The Main attraction of this episode is Takamura~~ Finally, some of his action. He is far to badass... His fighting, his aura is well animated, they are scary and awesome! But... Is he okay? Is the one person missing is actually him? Hmmm........... |
 |
| Yoooooooooothis episode was so peak!!!!! Sakamoto and the old swordsman made such a deadly combo together! Them fighting against Slur and his associates was so badass!!! 🙌🙌🙌 I wonder what's up with Slur mumbling like the old man at the end there. Did Slur get possesed by the old man somehow? 🤔 |
 |
| the soundtrack is still epic and I love it especially the legendary traditional Japanese music playing while the old man was swinging his katana it's sweet when sakamoto compliments shin in his head instead of killing him two guys lost their arms today; Apart got a little taste of his own medicine |
| Takamura casually aura-farming with that god-tier traditional Japanese soundtrack was absolutely the highlight of this episode. Imagine how strong he must have been in his prime. Definitely equal to Prime Sakamoto, I think. |
 |
| Slur and Gaku raiding the JAA HQ with no effort to spare, even with the strongest assassins and not to mention spies from within. And if anyone who has similar pedigree to face them, it's Old Man Takamura and his subtle swordmanship facing against Gaku, and Sakamoto and the gang facing Slur a.k.a Uzuki from a chance infiltration on the JAA. But if anything, this is a battle between former old friends, that no one should interfere. A simultaneous threat towards Sakamoto and his family leaves the former against Slur for a bit, while Takamura just has no besters, that took one of their very own to create a diversion for escape, that's the course at least for now seeing both sides of justice duke it out against each other. With that news forwarded to Nagumo, all 3 of them being part of their JCC days as famous classmates, it certainly raises alarms, more than just family against the potential of getting killed by professional hitmen. Onwards to the JCC next, for more intel! |

| Ahh yes, good old force of nature old guy. |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| The old man is busted af! |

@Narizor I was wondering why he started mumbling like Takamura.
| @KingBaller06 I totally didnt get this till I read your comment, Makes sense why he was muttering. |
|
| who knew sakamoto was old classmates with slur, uzuki back in the JCC days. Good fight episode but felt it was cut short with so much going on at the JAA building, so much bloodshed to follow Sakamoto. |
| They said 3 injured and 1 missing, if the 3 injured are Sakamoto, Shin, and Apart, and the missing was the guy who blew himself up, cause he was a sleeper agent and the JAA didn't know this does that mean the granpa died? I sure hope not. And this episode was peak. We need more of this kind of episode. |
 |
| Way to the JCC!!!! Kekeke |
| Only villains are killed. That's nonsense, too. What about the court? What about the law? Satsuren can label anyone a villain and execute them without a trial, investigation, or the right to defend themselves. I could understand a secret government group like the one in Ghost in the Shell. But that group had oversight and command. Here, it's just a lynch mob. The problem is that innocent people are sent to their deaths, and it's difficult to stop the abuse. How can you tell if they made a mistake? They killed a man. He didn't do anything. Nowadays, practically every country in the world has countless cases of false accusations and convictions. People sit in prison for years, only to later find out that they had nothing to do with it. But here, it's immediate. They killed him. They forgot about him. No matter how you look at it, Satsuren is trash. I understand that this is anime. The villains are two-dimensional, and human life has no value. There are heroes and extras. What's striking is how anime authors depict completely monstrous, cannibalistic worlds. Imagine living in such a world. Killers roam nearby and may consider you worthy of elimination and kill you. There is no trial; you don't know why they are after you, and there is no way to defend yourself. You just live in a world where people around you periodically disappear. Judging by the mafia's presence, it's clear that order is not being maintained. Satsuren is clearly not doing a good job of maintaining order. |
| Here people are getting torn to pieces like it's the easiest and most normal thing in the world. And then the "non-hitmen" (I mean everyone else) are just basic NPCs. Lol. Nice EP. Loved it. |

| That was the best episode of the season. Is this really the same TMS Entertainment? Unfortunately, that was the peak of Sakamoto Days. It doesn't get any better than that. 5/5 |
