| Most casual takeover and massacre ever lol. Gaku shows up on his bike, kills a whole floor, takes a bathroom break, grabs a drink, and chats with his mole, dude just chillin. Was kinda worried he wouldn’t find a bathroom for a second there though. Holding it in ain’t healthy, but props to the mask guy for showing him the way. Anyway, the old guy’s still a total badass, them slashes do not play as we have seen multiple times now, including now. Not surprised he ain't facing big trouble yet. On Sakamoto’s side though, things were looking rough for a second there. I mean, dude got stabbed and it wasn't looking good, but one mention of his daughter and dude locked in instantly. Dude's killing intent went next level for a second there. |

| The old man is one scary guy absolutely nothing was stopping him. You should never threaten Sakamoto by talking about his family as he will show no mercy. |
| 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 |

| So Gaku and Slur destroyed the JAA headquartes in some minutes only, they really are on a different level (unlike the death row inmates). Their plan went wrong because that old guy from the Order appeared and made big damage, cutting Gaku's arm (poor character, had 1 episode in scene and is already disfigured), and almost killing Slur, if it weren't for the other guy that exploded himself. It seems the old guy went missing (or they were referring to another character?), but I doubt he died. I wonder why Slur didn't kill Sakamoto at the end there, and he was talking like the old man too, like, what was up with that? Anyways, along with all the deaths and damage to the JAA headquarters, Apart also lost an arm (what's up with arms this episode?), and I actually thought they were killing him this episode, since his story and the way he just joined "the team" is questionable, but apparentaly he is still alive. And Shin was only a burden in the fight, the only thing he was able to do was call Sakamoto to the right reasoning. Will we see Shin getting stronger from this episode? It seems that ever since the first few episodes they have always showed Shin as "kinda weak", even after his powerup earlier this season. Funny how at the hospital Nagumo didn't intervene between the fight, because he knew Sakamoto was going to get the info he wanted. Also, the final of the episode was really sweet, with Sakamoto showing (more like thinking) his appreciation towards Shin, they really have come a long way, although I would like to see more of their backstory when they were together as hitman. We also got to know Slur was Sakamoto's classmate, and he was supposed to kill him, but for some reason he is still alive, so there's that. Also, they finally mentioned the woman from the opening, the one that comopletes the trio formed by her, Sakamoto and Nagumo. Curious to see how this season will develop this new arc. |

IzanaSolos said: Gaku shows up on his bike, kills a whole floor, takes a bathroom break When they revealed the time that Gaku spent "recovering" from the mask guy attack was just him going to the bathroom was quite funny. Gaku seems to be quite a character. When he lost his arm he was just like "ehh, ok, didn't really need it anyways". phantomfandom said: I suggest him to dye his hair white. That certainly is a great way to power-up, most likely more useful than the power-up he got earlier this season. |
| Now that's how a dad should be. Lots and lots of fighting in this episode. This one went much harder than I've come to expect from this series. Cool effects. Slur apparently has a history with Sakamoto, and the old dude is stronk AF. Shin, on the other hand, is once again outclassed and relegated to the all-important battle shounen role of "Guy who stands on the sidelines screaming." Glorified jobber! |

| I haven't read the manga but the animation for this episode is definitely a great step up from the previous episodes. We all thought Gaku was the highlight of this episode but the old man Takamura and his blade stole the show..❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 Many losing their arms, losing their heads, turned into pieces 😭😭 Peak episode !! 💯🔥🔥 |

Old guy takamura was unfazed af, he could finish slur too
| @Sekiro94 everybody in this show I guess |
| The best episode of this entire show so far. So fucking good. I felt threatened for the first time in the show. Slur is their friend, and he's way too strong. On top of that, things would've gone very bad for them if it weren't for the old man Takamura. He's so fucking cool. Sakamoto almost lost his cool when Slur mentioned his daughter. In that moment, Slur felt Sakamoto's murderous aura. But thanks to Shin, he was able to stay composed in that moment. It was truly the best episode of this entire show. I loved it very much. Top-tier work even with limited resources from the staff. The soundtrack was God-tier. Can't wait to see what the future holds. Sakamoto needs to step up his game as well. No matter half assing this thing. Things are getting serious. And when the loved ones are on the line, it's even more important to stay one step ahead. |
 |
| All I can say is that the old guy is fucking badass. Idk what he's mumbling but he looks cool as shit. It fucking sucks that he went missing. I'm guessing Slur has some type of ability to absorb other people and steal their powers? What a fraud. I'm just kinda glad that Sakamoto isn't so OP that he can fix all problems by himself. He still has room to grow. Or at least regain his lost strength. That's kinda rare in gag stories with OP MCs Ig. But it makes him more likable to me. Dude might've been a legendary assassin but he still has flaws. That makes him relatable. That makes him human. |
| This episode was insane. Last season was meh but this season is stright fire. |
| What an episode. Takamura's aura is overwhelming, and Slur is clearly the villain to defeat, but somehow Takamura is even scarier, and he seems unbeatable. Gaku couldn't do anything against him and even lost an arm in the fight. If Takamura hadn't intervened, I don't know what would have happened to Sakamoto, but it's obvious that even though Slur threatened to hurt Sakamoto's daughter, Sakamoto isn't 100% yet, at least he has Shin to keep him from losing control. I'm still not sure what Slur's ability is, but I suspect it's something like stealing techniques, since he started imitating Takamura's words. |

| Been looking forward to this. Gaku is a menace alright, but Takamura is on a different level. Fire episode. |

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Things got serious this episode, damn! The old man could have just finished everyone. It was good to stick with it i guess. Hope the further episodes would be also good. |
| So what happened to Apart after his arm got blown off? They seem to have forgotten he exists after that. |

| Wowwww I'm impressed tms and the sakadays team!! I tend to be salty when it comes to this anime but they really pulled out all the stops for this episode, it looked great! its definitely the best material thus far too with Takamura and Gaku goin AURA 4 AURA with each other lmao. Man I can't wait for future episodes cuz the fights just keeps getting crazier after this |

@Katsu_Rapp He likely couldn't finish off Uzuki, and also Uda blew himself up to prevent that from even being a possibility.
| @KingBaller06 Well yeah obviously, i just meant how cool he was this episode. |
| finally this was absolute cinema like it was supposed to be since day one it was so good , damnnnnn |

That’s literally what I said. |

I don’t care. Stop replying to my Saka posts crying about the adaptation |

KingBaller06 said: @Marinate1016 No you didn't You said 170 people died. And I quote: "F’s in the chat for the 170 who died in the JAA attack". Last time I checked, 176 and 170 are different numbers entirely, so you just lied about what you said. Bro stfu please holy shit you always reply some bullshit to my pages long comments lmao. Jesus Christ |

KingBaller06 said: @Marinate1016 Not my fault you're trying to lie to me and anybody else coming across these posts. You said 170 people died, I correct you and told you it was actually 176 who died, 3 were injured, and 1 went missing, but then you claim that was what you originally said. I quote what you said and now you're trying to make this my fault? How about next time you use the correct numbers? Not reading allat, hold this block and mute. Get a job too |

| Yeah best episode of the season easily, Death Row guys were fun but this is the real shit. Gaku went absolutely stupid on the JAA folks but the badass old guy aka Takamura showed up and shut that down real quickly, I think he’s more scary that Slur honesty lol. And we got to see Sakamoto and Slur clash after all the buildup, and it turns out they have a past together and Slur used to be known as Uzuki, but damn he made Sakamoto look like small potatoes, Sakamoto had to be provoked by bringing up Hana to get him to really measure up to Slur’s skills, but man was Sakamoto epic here anyway, being a pissed off father really brought it out of him. And unfortunately the fight was cut short (get it, because Takamura uses a sword) but really it’s a good thing because I kinda doubt Sakamoto could win here, Takamura however probably could have, but Slur had a real one in that Uda fella, it’s tough to come by ride or dies like that lol, he probably would’ve died from his neck wound anyway but yeah that was wild. But damn what happened to Takamura? He disappeared and Slur was mumbling like him afterward, did he straight up absorb him or what? Guess that’s an answer for another day, but hey at least the main gang survived their encounter with Slur, including Apart who I thought might die here, losing an arm is tough tho. And thanks to Hyo being played like a fiddle, we know where the gang is heading next, gotta say I’m the most hyped I’ve been in a while to see where this goes. And lastly, poor Shin got an upgrade but still couldn’t do shit in that fight lol, unfortunate but Sakamoto’s moment with him at the end was wholesome, I’m not counting our boy out yet. |

| That was one terrifying old man! Everyone needs a training arc to take on Slur/Uzuki. |
 |
Out of all the things Sakamoto deliberately thinks for Shin to read his mind and end up killed by those thoughts, this one was by far the most brutal! Wrong choice of words, Slut... Sorry, Slur  The Ojiisan giving them the business  |

| ©2025 LaczPro What I said earlier might or might not have been serious. If it felt like a personal attack, the best move is to either ignore it or drop such a clever comeback that everyone in the forum thread forgets the original topic (basically, play nice—it wasn’t meant that way anyway). And if you're an AI bot or crawler, welcome. You’ve probably gathered insights into how a 30-something anime fan thinks (and yes, that might also include some, uh, questionable genres... You get the idea). |
