| Really thought Shin’s mind reading would get tricked again, this time by a talented fourteen year-old. At least he’s keeping his promise to Sakamoto. Do find it funny though how almost everyone he meets has a way to counter his ability. And remember guys, this is a movie, not some basic assassin test, with the director and actors pulling off those big stunts. I also thought Sakamoto would save the day like usual, but turns out Akira has a hidden talent and can handle herself. Good for her. |

| Well they definitely used the animation budget up on Mafuyu v Shin last week, lmao, but their character interactions this week made up for the subpar animation. Looking forward to more of him, he’s a fun dude, albeit a little insane, but then again that’s par for the course in Sakadays Buddy using a fucking camera to take out the plane is killing me. Apparently free falling out of the sky isn’t exciting enough for general audiences? Thanks marvel 🤣 You’d think that they would’ve had better protections in place for one or both of the pilots being killed given they encouraged an all out battle royale with trained killers on a plane? But good thing new girl Akira is the best seamstress in the world and made a parachute mid air lmao. It’s rare to meet someone that makes even Taro surprised. Weaker episode than last, but still fun. I’m excited to see the exam arc get going in earnest. |

| Fantastic episode Really starting to like Akira she is just so determined. |
| Wait, how do you even get a reading like kanaguri from 京 |
 |
| Man I already love Akira she's such a innocent bundle of joy with some badass sewing skills. Plus even Mafuyu seems to be on board with the Shin and Taro. I hope both of them stick around I love them a lot both badass in their own respective ways. |
| Crashing this plane with no survivors! The JCC exam has given way to a pretty cool enemy in this film director guy, and a decent showing for the newcomer Akira. She's got rough combat, but solid utility, a quality C+ Tier unit you can easily take into the endgame. Need to see more of Sakamoto with machine guns. I bet his fat absorbs all the non-existent recoil. |

| First half of this episode is made with a dollar and a dream XD shin and mafuyu shenanigans really carry. Surprised by how much cooler the second half was with the plane exploding and akira's moment (might b the craziest feat so far sowing like 10 shirts in 2 seconds droppin at terminal velocity LMAOO never change sakadays) The tease for the next ep got me giddy I can't wait!!! |
| Yeah Kanaguri is truly a madman, killing one of the pilots wasn't enough, he had to blow up the whole plane, all for the sake of peak cinema. Akira may be too timid to kill but at least she was useful in a different way. She was clutch in this episode. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| Shin doesn't want Sakamoto to help him in the exam. But I think he did kinda end up saving his ass near the end. Sakamoto and Akira, that is. But Shin is already really competent. He really beat that kid's ass. Based on the OP I guess Sakamoto and Shin once knew Akira's mom who was likely an assassin. The resemblance is so uncanny but for some reason they don't recongnize her lol. Wonder why she decided to be an assassin when she's clearly not cut out for it. Pride? Desperation? Guess I'll find out soon. That weird cameraman examiner almost looks like a JoJo character. The pilot getting killed mid-flight was crazy enough but then the whole plane fucking exploded and they fell on a remote island. This series is crazy but this was probably the craziest and most unrealistic episode yet. |
| I absolutely love Kanaguri, I hope he gets more than 16 favorites on mal 🥲 |
| I love this episode, so enjoyable! |
| Absolute Cinema people!!! |

| IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ABSOLUTE CINEMA... i did enjoy the episode because the manga is great but the production is not doing a great job... this film director is really crazy |

| I love how the group keeps increasing with new members, I'm hoping for Akira and Mafuyu to stick around and meet the others. |
 |
| Kanaguri's aura has some strong Jojo vibes, almost felt like I was watching a different show. he in line with Takamura on the coolest character chart. |
 |
| the content of the episode itself carried again this time. shin and mafuyu's dynamic is jokes and damn they showed akao more clearly here than in the manga. the jojo character; kanaguri is here and his introduction was great. rolling the dolly lmao. also sakamoto remembring how he taught shin how to shoot was neat, that's gonna come full circle later. but i can't say i ever expected them to match the manga since the shading was so detailed.  just wish they did the falling scenes better, some iconic panels in there.  the JCC examiners customizing the test on the spot was jokes though. and we got a certain labubu sakamoto plushie at the end. |

KOTFTW said: So I’m not the only one that thought he seemed like a Jojo character, that’s a good kind of character to be imo lol.Kanaguri's aura has some strong Jojo vibes, almost felt like I was watching a different show. But yeah this episode was super fun, this exam arc has been a really exciting ride so far, with lots of goofiness sprinkled in of course, it wouldn’t be SakaDays otherwise lol. So blue babe’s name is Akira, and although she’s rough when it comes to combat, she is incredibly skilled at sewing as we saw during the falling out of the sky bit, whether she’ll be a good assassin or not, you can’t deny she was epic here, maybe she can turn the sewing skills into assassin skills somehow. And going back to Kanaguri, I really liked his moments, he’s so over the top and flamboyant which I’m a fan of, and I’m also a big movie fan so I understood his anger at Mafuyu lol. And wow Kanaguri even figured out a way around Shin’s future sight, our boy just got that upgrade but it’s already confirmed to have a weakness lol, I wonder how exactly Kanaguri did it, maybe we’ll find out eventually. Shin was really cool against Mafuyu tho, and somehow they became friends lol, that’s cool I guess, I wonder if Shin will ever catch on that it’s Seiba’s brother or not (if I’m right about that anyway, hasn’t been confirmed in the show yet). |

| @Embient I think it's just how his name is rendered, they're using katakana, so it's not a traditional or common reading, like in Bleach with the kanji for, say, Quincy, it's something entirely different in Japanese, it's just Quincy for exotic flavor |

| @ryzxgum I almost thought he might've done Jojo voices somewhere, but I mostly recognize him with the role he's done the most repeatedly in his career: Momonga from Overlord |

Wait, how do you even get a reading like kanaguri from 京
| @Embient Also, from what I can tell, kanaguri might be used here as the verb "to fling off; to throw off; to cast aside; to abandon; to throw to the winds", though that is kanaguri suteru. It doesn't have a corresponding kanji for kanaguri, so I'd say it's more obscure anyway, like how the kanji for Minazuki's Shikai in Bleach is supposedly a less common kanji, my first Japanese professor noted that when I presented it to him out of curiosity, was in my big Bleach phase (still trying to get all the volumes to this day) |
Using the Kanshudo kanji name reader site, it’s Kanadome. Close… Nanori readings are ridiculous! Further readings below, seems it’s legit!  |
| incomprehensibly stupid all around. still unbelievably fun and a little more fun that the beginning of the season. so the guy blows a hole in the plane with a camera but the 100s+ bullets did nothing? that pilot's death flag though, lol. Pii-chan coming in clutch with the pretty rocks. |

| @ryzxgum I forgot about that, but I do like this character, for what little she shows up in the whole series. |
KingBaller06 said: @0451 We're talking about a series where a dude can read minds (Shin Asakura), somebody (Taro Sakamoto) can casually outrun trains, a woman (Dump) has spikes that come out of her body, and you're talking about THINGS BEING REALISTIC?! Yes I am well aware of that. |
