About Sakamoto Days
Sakamoto Days is a hit action-comedy anime based on the manga by Yuto Suzuki. It follows Taro Sakamoto—once a legendary hitman—who retires to live a quiet life as a chubby convenience store owner with his family. But when his past catches up to him, he must defend his new life while hiding his deadly skills from the world.
With its unique mix of action, humor, and heart, Season 1 was a surprise success in Winter 2024. Fans are now hyped for a potential Season 2, which would continue adapting major arcs from the manga.
Sakamoto Days Season 2 Plot (Concept)
Season 2 is expected to cover the JCC (Japan Criminal College) Arc — where Sakamoto and his team infiltrate the assassin training academy to stop an underground organization called Slur from recruiting killers and reviving the assassin industry.
The season promises more intense fights, comedy moments, deeper lore, and shocking character backstories—especially for Shin and Lu. Expect tighter action choreography, darker undertones, and emotional twists as Sakamoto faces new moral dilemmas.
