A retired legend runs a quiet corner store, wears bulletproof glasses on roller coasters, and refuses to kill—even with a billion-yen bounty on his head. That’s the spark that powers Sakamoto Days, and we dive straight into why this action-comedy hits so hard without losing its heart. We unpack how a simple vow from Sakamoto to Aoi turns every fight into a smarter set piece—pebbles that slice rifles, coupons and pens that dismantle walking arsenals, and choreography that reads like a puzzle solved in motion. The laughs never cheapen the stakes; they humanize them.
We trace the world’s invisible scaffolding: the Order’s quiet pull, the breadcrumb trail of named killers, and a power scale that sharpens scene by scene. Shin’s telepathy reframes danger rather than erasing it; Lou’s drunken fist mood-swings bring color and timing; Heisuke’s sniper math turns geometry into tension. Then the top shelf: Slur’s ice-veined intent, Gaku’s gamer-bruiser swagger, and Takamura’s “old-man strength” that rewrites the room with a taxi-door entrance and a one-handed block. Nagumo’s shapeshifting mischief rounds out the cast with a fan-favorite chaos that somehow still feels loyal.
Across fights, flashbacks, and near-misses, we keep returning to the same question: what do you owe your past once love demands a different life? That tension fuels the show’s best moments and hints at a bigger storm—three-way faction friction, unfinished history with Slur, and a found family that draws trouble like a magnet. We cap it with a careful nine-out-of-ten and why a patient, confident season two could push it to a ten.

SPEAKER_05 (00:01):
What up, gang?
Let's talk about Sakamoto days.
I like this anime.
Like, it's the right amount ofhigh octane action bullshit that
not gonna watch.
I'm gonna be straight up withyou.
I was watching both courts.
And by the time I got to thesecond one, you know what?
(00:24):
I just put my notes down and I'mlike, fuck it.
I'm just gonna enjoy it.
Like it's so good, it's like,you know what, man, you just
kind of ruining the experienceby taking all these notes and
whatnot.
I mean, some things where it'slike dialogue heavy to where you
might want to take notes, so youdefinitely make sure that I'm
not mistaken anything from it,like misinterpreting or
(00:48):
anything.
But honestly, suckamoto days isone of those animes where I'm
gonna be honest with you, youjust kind of turn your brain off
and just enjoy it.
But again, to some context, andby the way, Playboy, I am glad
that you're on for this reviewbecause I know you want to talk
about Sakamoto Day just like tobe hero X.
(01:09):
And there's a I'm gonna get to apoint where I'm like real crazy
that you recommended both ofthese anime world reviews.
But uh, I'll get into it.
Hold on.
Taro Sakamoto wants a legendaryhitman, considered the greatest
of them all.
Uh, bad guys feared him,assassins revered him.
One day he decided to get out ofthe game, he got married, he had
(01:30):
a kid.
Now he's living the quiet lifeas the owner of this convenience
store.
And the thing about it is afterfive years of being out of the
game, all these assassins andhitmen was like, uh, uh uh,
you're getting too comfortable,my dog.
You're getting too comfortable.
Oh, you think it's you can justwalk away from this life, have a
(01:52):
wife and kid, like just livingghetto fabulous in this little
Ricky Dink convenience store.
Nah, dawg, you need a you don'tunderstand.
You got a bag on your head now.
You got a billion-dollar bag onyour head.
We coming for that money.
Uh uh, Shin, a telepath andformer partner of Sakamoto,
(02:16):
tries to get uh Taro to back onthe field.
But when noticing the lifeSakamoto left the mob for, he
decided to get him, uh he givesup on making him get out of
retirement.
And then the mob tries to killShin, but Sakamoto came to the
rescue, gave Shin a job at thestore.
Aside from liking his new life,Sakamoto refuses to kill because
(02:40):
his wife Aoi would divorce himfor, which Tara does not want to
happen, which is totallyunderstandable.
Uh by the way, when they wereyoung, like before they got
married and all that shit.
I don't know about you, Playboy,but I don't like how Aoi kind of
emotionally manipulated Sakamotointo having to change a heart by
(03:03):
threatening the killer, so um,because like, oh yeah, you see
what happens when people youlove die, like do you want them
to have it?
So, you know, you gotta leavethis behind.
Like, I just can't be associatedwith a killer, you know.
I mean, that's understandable,but really, like, you're gonna
jump off and be like, oh, Imean, yeah, it was like snow and
(03:23):
whatnot.
Um, she might would have gotinjured at worst, but I don't
think the the fall wasn't eventhat big of a fall.
It wasn't even that deep of afall.
So, like, if anything, it wouldbe more like that one scene from
all it's funny to where heprobably like sprained, she'd
probably like sprain an ankleabout it.
But no, I don't like howemotionally manipulative that
(03:46):
was, but I understand.
SPEAKER_02 (03:49):
Yeah, it did kind of fuck him up.
My first time seeing that shit,like reading that shit, that
shit kind of fucked me.
I was like, damn, she justjumped off the fucking roof just
like no giving no fucks.
But then I at first I honestlythought maybe he'd save her on
some shit, but then you know,like it played up on some like
she just landed in this nose allsafe and gave him that little
speed or whatever.
(04:10):
But I mean my boy fell in love,man.
He was the top assassin.
He I guess you know, he probablygot tired of that life, man.
But I I don't know, that wasyoung Sakamoto.
My boy loving first sight, youknow.
That play, you know what thatputs to do to you.
SPEAKER_05 (04:23):
That's what I'm saying.
I'm like, bro, that gotta besome magical pussy to have him
get out of the game.
SPEAKER_02 (04:28):
He probably never had none ever.
All he knows was killing.
SPEAKER_05 (04:32):
Oh damn.
Well, oh damn.
SPEAKER_02 (04:35):
I mean, think about it.
SPEAKER_05 (04:37):
Yeah, like okay, it can go one or two ways.
Either he was like so committedto the job that, yeah, you're
right, he might not have everdid that, or maybe he might have
been one of those assassins towhere sometimes every now and
then, if he had to like take outa female target and it's like
kind of like you know, kind ofuh give to the gab, like kind of
(05:00):
play on, make it look like, ohwell, I'm just gonna play the
long game with it.
As soon as I catch a slipping,then I kill her.
But before, before I catch aslipping, let me lay down this
part.
It could have gone either waybecause some assassin do be like
that.
So like, uh uh uh.
I know it's not a strongexample, but you remember Harlem
(05:23):
Nights with Eddie Murphy and umRichard Pryor?
Right, yeah.
And you know that girl, like shewas trying to kill uh Quit and
she was like slept with himfirst and then was gonna shoot
him, but you know, Quit noticedthe gun under the pillow before
then, so like he was already onto her, but he was like, you
know what?
(05:44):
Let me hit it um real quick, andthen I it could be like that,
like it could be like that, butnah, like I wanna believe what
you were saying to where like heprobably just was the virgin the
whole time, man.
Who I guess I mean, yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (06:03):
Yeah, because Sakamoto kind of cool, man.
He nonchalant, he just you know,got that aura about him, like
that main character energy.
Like the you gotta think theyalways say the legendary
assassin.
Like this has to tell yousomething about his prime
compared to all the assassins inthis whole show.
And it's since the beginning ofthe show, they've been hinting
(06:24):
at multiple assassins, likealmost every episode, there's
they'll say somebody's namewho's not even an episode.
Like Takamura, they brought upTakamura in the first meeting
with the Order, and he didn'tshow up for a couple episodes.
Same with Conor Guri, like rankup his name, like who's that?
He don't show up till after yousee Takamura come through, you
(06:45):
know.
So it's a lot of like hinting atmore assassins with different
personalities, differentabilities.
So, you know, it's gonna bedifferent types of fights and
difficulties, all types of shit,man.
So I'm all for this shit, butit's it's kind of like a slice
of life for assassins.
SPEAKER_05 (07:02):
Yeah, it's like uh action comedy slice of life
because it does get like slowmoments, but I don't know.
I feel like it was like a goodblend of okay, they kind of
fucking around with the shop andwhatnot, like you know, typical
family should, and then everynow and then some assassin pull
(07:22):
up to the shop and I was like,hey yo, I heard Sakamoto's here.
Bro, like that one scene, okay.
Before I even get to that, let'stalk about Sakamoto for just one
moment.
When you mention his prime, Ilike how dude is like straight
up like Choji Akamichi fromNaruto, where it's like, oh,
(07:44):
apparently he can like compressall that fat he put on.
Like, I don't think he's likeeven fat for real.
It's more like just one of thosethings where like, okay, he kind
of got fat because you know heyou know got out of the game.
But then again, the way theyplay it off, like okay,
sometimes when something hitshim in the cheek and his cheeks
(08:07):
are so thick that it kind ofbounces off.
And bro, like the crazy what themost crazy subtle thing that
they did, because there's awhole bunch of crazy shit,
right?
Like we didn't even get to thecrazy shit, but one thing I did
like is when they went to theamusement park and buddy got on
that road coaster uh withSakamoto and Shin and the rest
(08:30):
of the gang, and he was gonnashoot Sakamoto with Shin giving
a telepathic message that heyyo, somebody about to shoot you,
and then he turned around justin time for the bullet to hit
his glasses, and he was like,bulletproof glasses, really.
I'm like, bro, that's actuallykind of genius.
SPEAKER_01 (08:49):
Because imagine always prepared, dude.
Like, even for a shopkeeper,he's still prepared as an
assassin.
SPEAKER_05 (08:55):
Like no, oh, oh, you know what?
This dude is like Jason Bournein anime, where he can pick up
literal, mundane, ordinary itemsand kill you, you know, like how
he'll like kind of stab you withum pins or like give it a box
(09:16):
cutter or whatnot.
Like I feel like I kind of bekind of tense whenever he picks
something up.
Like, you don't want to likepicking up a pebble, and then um
he's hazekey.
I like hazekey by the way.
Uh I'm gonna talk about him injust a moment, but one of these
feats that I love about Sakamotowhen Hayskey was trying to uh
(09:37):
snipe him, and then Sakamotopicked up this pebble, he threw
it, and it sliced right throughthe um rifle, like halfway
through.
I god damn.
See, he there's a theory towhere I think in that program
that he was in with the orderwhere you know Shan got
telepathy and some of them alsogot their abilities from.
(10:00):
I believe he was alsoexperimenting on, but he kind of
got that whole Captain Americasuper soldier serum type thing
going on to where he gets like apeak human, like he has more
strength and speed and whatnotthan the average person.
Otherwise, like, bro, as big ashe is, even at 30 um from his
(10:20):
prime, like he can still movearound and shit, like he's on
some Broly type shit, like bigdude.
You're thinking, like, oh, heain't gonna move that fast.
He's gonna slide on you sofucking fast.
SPEAKER_02 (10:34):
That's the scary part.
Cause like to be that big andmove that fast, you know, that's
like they teach you that shit inscience, bro.
Like, that's a lot of mass,that's a lot of force.
He like, no wonder he be doingsome incredible shit, bro.
He be whooping the fuck out ofpeople.
I'm about to be surprised they'dbe surviving some of the Lent
Pass.
But I my favorite fight though,as far as with the props and
(10:57):
shit he'd be using when it comesto improvising and shit like
that, was with um I believe itwas Kashima, the deer head guy
in the subway, when he said hedon't have any weapons, and
buddy started pulling guns outof his mouth and arms and shit,
and the soccer bottle just pullout a fucking uh a coupon, a
mechanical pin, and uh what thefuck?
Oh, a bottle cap or some shit.
(11:18):
Yeah, some shit, man.
Just a bunch of random shit inhis pocket.
He beat his ass with it.
I was like, dog, this is stillcrazy.
Like he reminded me of JackieChan.
SPEAKER_05 (11:26):
If Jackie Chan was like, yeah, he he does have that
Jackie Chan energy because Iswear to God, it's kind of hard
to tell if he's even taking thefight seriously.
Where he was like, okay, he'strying to make sure that the old
foes are like chilling, likethey good and all that.
Like, dudes straight up throwingold people at him, and then
(11:47):
talking about just cashing like,all right, sit him down.
Hey, you good, you good, likeyou need some candy, little boy,
you you good, you good.
I'm like, he was not worried atall against Koshi.
Like, if he was able to uh havetime to do all that shit.
Uh, who else I want to talkabout?
(12:08):
Oh, uh Lou.
Uh, I like how Lou reminds me uhRoth Lee with the Tysy drunk and
fist style fight, where like shecould be like a sad drunk, she
could be a happy drunk orwhatnot, and then she got that
mafia style drunk, and I'm like,what the fuck?
Uh and it's crazy that they havethis whole ranking system to
(12:30):
where okay, you can either belike a B rank list uh target or
like an A rank, and shit.
Uh Sakamoto was considered B,which he was very not, I'm gonna
say very upset, but like kind oftook he kind of took that
personally.
I'm like B rank.
Like, I've been out of the gamefor five years and they call me
(12:53):
a B rank.
Oh, they they assume I was nottouched.
Okay, I bet I got him, I gothim.
SPEAKER_02 (12:58):
Shit, Lou was a rank higher than uh Shin.
SPEAKER_05 (13:01):
Yeah, Shin was like what C D rank because they were
thinking, oh, he's just atelebound.
What can he do?
Like he he don't got hands forreal.
Like, how many people he killed?
Like, at least with Lou, like,okay, where drunken fist does,
it's like okay, it's believablethat he might have killed
somebody.
But with Shin, it's like yoursupport at best, you're like
(13:27):
feel support at best, you'relike the burden on the sky,
you're like the guy in the chairat best.
And then he had to prove himselfduring the whole uh uh assassin
training camp retreat thing thatthey were doing too.
Uh there was this one girl thatwas related to uh Rion, the
(13:51):
other partner that worked withit.
It was like Sakamoto, there wasNagamo, and then there was Ryon.
And there was like that wholeart with that.
And I was digging that too,especially uh there was that one
kid that was like 14 years old,like he didn't like uh I think
he just didn't like beingtouched.
And Shin was like, is this whatGen Z is like now?
(14:19):
That one kid with the face mask.
I don't know, I don't rememberhis name though.
SPEAKER_02 (14:24):
It's not Silva, yeah.
I think that's I think that wasit.
Yeah, because that's theirbrother.
The uh that's his brother, theum the one with the the one Shim
was fighting earlier with thecloak.
Right, right, right.
Yeah, yeah, their brother.
SPEAKER_05 (14:42):
Right.
Okay, okay.
Uh was it?
I don't want to get my notesagain.
Uh but uh what was that?
Um, oh okay, K.
Let's talk about HSK.
He got this bird, uh Pskey, andI just like K SK because this
(15:05):
dude is so broke, like he beenliving in like practical squall.
Like he had like this makeshifttent that just blew off the
roof, and I kind of feel bad forhim for that.
But like imagine being so brokethat you think with like a
billion yen, you're like, ooh, abillion yen?
I can finally afford sushi.
(15:27):
And then meanwhile, I'm cominghome from the job eating sushi,
like, damn.
I guess I can't complain toomuch.
I'm like, I thought I was broke.
I'm like, dog, like, is it thatbadass?
I'm sitting here like Sakamoto,man, give this man a job.
Oh god, like why y'all doing myboy hate shit like this?
(15:51):
And y'all know how good he iswith a gun, too.
Like, man, give this man a job.
Having him um practicallyswimming talents for pocket
games.
Give this man a job.
SPEAKER_02 (16:06):
Yeah, he had like the um he like one of the best
shooters in the um series.
I think he had like the highest,the highest rank when they went
to go take uh check for the umthe best shooters, and there was
somebody um there was rankedhigher than Sakamoto, and they
were trying to figure out who itwas, and it was Hayeskay, but he
forgot to put his fucking namedown on that list.
SPEAKER_05 (16:32):
That was funny, but bro, like he's kind of crazy
with those weakest shape bowlsfor real.
Especially when they were goingagainst that one guy that was
invisible, um, thinking like,okay, well, I may not be able to
see you, but I can hear your uhfootsteps and all that shit.
I just need to triangulate andyou know, kind of use like some
(16:54):
geometry, like trigonometry orwhatnot, and kind of angle the
bullets where he can like kindof at least graze you a little
bit.
I'm like, damn, he's fuckingdangerous with that shit.
Like you gotta really be on yourtoes if he's on you with that
scoop.
If I if I really needed thesecurity, like, say for
(17:15):
instance, like, oh, somebodytrying to uh take me out, like I
need a sniper that'll take outhim.
And but uh I hope it's not gonnabe like inside job where I get
so paranoid where I'm like,okay, well, I got a sniper in
case somebody tried to snipe me,but who do I have checking the
sniper?
(17:36):
Who do I have checking my sniperthough?
Nah, I'm fucking with you.
But uh I did like thedevelopment with the prisoners,
like there were like fourprisoners on getting out of
jail, the inmates, and they weregoing after Sakamoto 2.
Uh, I like the blackrepresentation between Dump and
(18:00):
uh minimalists.
Well, now, Dump, I feel like shegot that hedgehog dilemma to
where she wants to lovesomebody, but she got like this
very I mean, keep in mind withher ability, she kind of like
Kimimara where she likeprotrudes these spikes from her
body, but it's like she willlike somebody, but only on the
(18:21):
condition that they have to bescared out of their lives, and
she's like, Oh, I love that lookon your face, you look so cute,
and then she went, give me ahug.
I'm like, uh, I don't know.
And the next thing you know, shelike impales them out.
Oh, you're not cute anymore nowthat you're dead.
I'm like, bitch, you are crazy.
Like, I almost feel bad for you,but he just the crazy just
(18:46):
overshadows it.
SPEAKER_02 (18:48):
Like she was fucking tripping.
Out of all four of them, sheprobably had the most psychotic
logic, bro.
Like, what the fuck?
SPEAKER_05 (18:58):
I mean, at least with a part, it's like, okay,
like you can kind of give him achance, and they did, so I'm
like, okay, he's not all thatbad.
He was kind of tweaking, but hewasn't that bad.
SPEAKER_02 (19:10):
But uh just like any other villain, as far as like
see his backstory is kind oflike any other villain, like as
far as being a kid and beingtraumatized.
He tried, he was gettingbullied.
Yeah, you know what I'm saying?
Like, it came down to the oneperson who was keeping him
happy, like his like his father,you know what I'm saying?
He was happy until until himgetting bullied by the kids, and
(19:33):
he started tearing apart thatdamn that damn uh teddy bear,
and then he ended up killing afucking cat or dog, some shit, I
think.
Yeah, daddy wanna get himchecked.
He said, nah, he's normal.
Normal.
SPEAKER_05 (19:48):
Hell, no, it was like some on some Jeffrey Dahmer
type shit to where it was likeyou you seen Monster from um
Netflix, where like essentiallythe father, he was the one that
taught Jeffrey how to hunt andwhatnot.
And then when all that shitJeffrey did um leading up to the
trial and whatnot, and uh Iguess it was like a lawyer or a
(20:10):
doctor or somebody, and they waslike getting into a bottle of
it, and essentially the dad waslike in denial.
Like, no, I did not teach my sonthis.
I did not teach my son this liketechnically you did, you just
said you didn't know that he wasgonna do that on humans.
It's kind of like that to whereit's like crazy how it traces
back to childhood, it alwaystraces back to childhood.
(20:30):
Yeah, like they grow up likethat, right?
It started somewhere, yeah.
It comes from somewhere.
Like you didn't mean for it tohappen this way, but it came
from somewhere.
But uh oh, I like how I thinkit's so funny that a part is so
OCD when he killed a dude andwas looking at his mom
collection and he was like, waita minute, where's volume seven?
(20:52):
Like, what the fuck is going on?
He went straight to the store,bought volume seven, put that
shit on the book of say, Oh mygod, okay.
SPEAKER_02 (21:01):
The world that's no serial killer ass shit.
SPEAKER_04 (21:06):
I thought it was so funny.
SPEAKER_02 (21:08):
Like, why why aren't you gone?
Why aren't you trying to getaway right now?
SPEAKER_05 (21:14):
I'm like, yeah, like I guess once again, like he
gotta be pretty confident as anassassin to where I'm like, hey
man, ain't nobody gonna take meout.
Like, I'm him.
Like, I'm good.
Uh Saw, the one thing I likeabout Saul is that he has some
oddly accurate dialogue aboutanime, uh, manga, and movies
(21:36):
where it's like, oh well, wecan't let it all end too soon.
He's like, You're gonna bore theaudience or some shit like that.
I'm like, hey, yo, you knowwhat?
He's not wrong.
Like, I it's kind of weird howyou use it in this in that
context, but he ain't wrongabout that part.
(22:01):
Uh, one more person, minimalist.
All right, here's the dude Iwant to talk to you about where
he reminds me of to be hero X,where we got the revealing next
day, right?
And we were talking about, wewere gigging about X, how he got
these reality warping power, howhe literally bowled up Dragon
(22:22):
Ball into a ball and just threwhim in the uh river.
This dude, minimalist, andSakamoto days, he's so strong he
will like grab anything he canget his hands on and just bowl
it up and shit.
And I'm like, what the fuck?
SPEAKER_02 (22:40):
You know, it's kind of broken.
SPEAKER_05 (22:45):
That was crazy.
SPEAKER_02 (22:48):
Uh uh him and Nagamo was kind of crazy because I
thought that first encounter wasactually his wife.
Oh shit.
SPEAKER_05 (22:57):
Oh, speaking of which, uh Owie, like when we
thought minimalist was gonnakill Aoi, and I thought, oh
shit, Aoi got hands.
Like, where is that?
SPEAKER_02 (23:08):
That's exactly what I said.
I'm like, oh shit.
But then I was like, of course.
SPEAKER_05 (23:11):
Oh, that's just Nagamo.
God damn.
I was like, whoa, I'm like, Ihad all this kill wrong.
But uh speaking of Nagamo, Ikind of like Nagumo to where
like he considered S-QLAS, hegot like shape shifting power.
Like, that's crazy too.
Like, I mean, you're thinking,like, how is he able to do that
(23:34):
if he's just a normal person?
But that's just the thing, he'snot a normal person.
Like, we kind of establishedthat as soon as as soon as I
found out Shin was a telepath,I'm like, okay, so there's
superpowers in this shit.
All right, so him being ashapeshifter, I'm not even
surprised.
But uh, he's kind of funny towhere he'll be like the kind of
(23:54):
dude where he'll give you likebad news and be like, ah, I'm
just fucking with y'all.
And then Shin and Lou would tryto beat the shit out of him.
I'm like, yeah.
Now that's kind of funny.
Like, sometimes I'm kind of thatperson to where I'll just be
like fucking with you, like, ohshit, like fam, I'm sorry to
tell you this, but something badhappened.
SPEAKER_02 (24:17):
Yeah, he he'll fucking troll, man.
He he he do that through thewhole series.
That's just how he is.
Like even when he fight, he kindof he does that shit.
He kind of like one of themcharacters who don't take the
fight serious, but when you seehim stop smiling, you like okay,
yeah.
This the second, this like thesecond phase of the final boss
fight right here.
Like when Spider-Man stoppedsmiling or joking, or you know
(24:39):
what I'm saying?
Shit like that.
Motherfucking locked in forreal.
That's all they do.
SPEAKER_05 (24:46):
Bro, straight up, I thought he was gonna uh be one
of those assassins that try tokill Sakamoto, but in actuality,
he was just showing up to thisway, you know, hey yo, uh, you
know, hey, like we just fuckingwith each other, just like old
times, of course.
Like, you know how just fuckwith your fam.
But hey, yo, for real, though,for real, for real.
I heard on the streets that theyput a bat on your head.
(25:09):
Uh oh, and that second partwhere they Sakamoto and Sin the
gang was trying to infiltratethat building, and they were
like, oh, wait, hold on.
Um I don't hear, like, normallyI would hear people voicing in
their heads, but I don't hearany voices.
They opened that door, and theonly person that was like alive
(25:33):
was Nagamo, because keep inmind, somehow with Nagamo, Shin
can't read his mind.
So it's just kind of crazy howlike, oh uh Nagamo's the ones
that kill all these men.
SPEAKER_03 (25:45):
Nah, I'm just fucking with y'all.
SPEAKER_05 (25:47):
They were like this when I showed up.
Uh but uh, yeah, I'm not gonnalie, that was pretty much all my
notes.
Like, I like these characters, Ilove the action.
Uh I can't wait for season two.
Most likely, we we probablygonna have to wait till like a
(26:07):
year or two, like late nextyear, probably.
I don't I don't remember.
Like, I think they announcedthat there's definitely gonna be
a season two, but I just don'tknow when.
SPEAKER_04 (26:17):
But uh boy, you got anything else you want to add
on?
Uh any more things aboutSakamoto or anybody in general
that you wanna talk about beforeit closes out?
SPEAKER_02 (26:27):
Um, I did watch the finale, but we didn't get to
talk much about thewhite-haired.
Uh, you know, most animes alwayshave this white-haired OP
character that or farms.
Oh, uh Slur, right.
Slur and Gaku, man, there's wegot two of them.
And I've been waiting for Gokubecause he's like one of those.
(26:49):
He he kind of reminds me of Garoa little bit from one point,
man.
He kind of like Shallan justchill, but he's strong.
And then on top of that, he's agamer, bro.
Like he likes to play games, sohis fighting style is just like
this brawler with this weapon,he got a unique weapon.
Um, there's like I don't evenknow what the fuck it is.
(27:09):
Like this uh fucking long macetype of weapon, but it he can
shoot from it, you know what I'msaying?
He he blasted somebody with thatbitch.
And then um that shit, likehonestly, man, Gaku OP as fuck.
I think he's like 19 up, Ibelieve.
So him and Slur, they um sothat's that's what I really want
(27:32):
to talk about.
So the whole like the wholeaction behind what's been going
on is like a three-wayorganization fight between Slur,
Gaku, and their crew.
And then you have Sakamoto'screw with Heiske, Lou, Shin, and
then um, I don't know whether toreally count Nagumo's there.
(27:56):
Because Nagumo is just like oneof his like high school
childhood friends.
So he kind of just didn't likekeep him out of the way.
That's really why he pulled up,like, hey, just stay out the way
and let the order take care ofit.
So then you have the order inthe midst because when Takamura
pulled up, who's also a memberof the Order, you see he went
for both of he went both for umSakamoto and Slur.
(28:20):
You know what I'm saying?
Because the order just trying toget anybody who's against JAA
out of there.
And since Sakamoto have a bountyon his head, and slur just slur
just came and killed damn nearthe whole building.
Takamura here to slay anybody.
So I wonder what's gonna happenwhen they find out Nagamo's kind
of like helping Sakamoto in a ina sense.
(28:44):
You know what I'm saying?
Like, I wonder what's like howthat's gonna play out.
SPEAKER_04 (28:48):
Hey, you know what?
Now that I think about it, youknow who Slur kind of reminded
me of?
SPEAKER_05 (28:53):
Fucking bitches from how about Bebop.
You he had that kind of vibe forme.
Like, yeah, he is he was likejust stone cold with like cold
methodical killer, like ice inhis veins.
You can even see it in his eyeshow soulless they are.
SPEAKER_02 (29:14):
The fact that he had Goku doing all the fighting,
though, I just know he could dosome crazy shit.
We ain't seen it.
I know that little shit withSakamoto was just like a little
skirmish.
Because you gotta think, evenwhen he went against Sakamoto,
he knew.
Look, remember when he said umbut he you could tell, but it
was a lot of shit that went onin Sakamoto's time, bro.
Because he he hinted at someshit when he was like, Um, then
(29:36):
you could kill me again thistime, or something like
basically the plan they foughtbefore, and like Sakamoto got
the best of them, but he didn'tlike finish him or kill him or
something.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
So I'm like, okay, okay, so hecame back.
Sakamoto had been out of shapefor five years, so he different
his ass.
(29:56):
So you know, he's talking inshit, but then sakamura pull
though, they can't.
Do shit with old man talkingwe're at man.
SPEAKER_05 (30:03):
Bro, that was kind of crazy where he pulled up.
Like you're thinking, like, oh,what this old man gonna do?
I'm like, bro, listen, like, ifI learn anything, like if an old
man with a katana is pulling upto a fight, I'm like, he might
know something.
Like, I ain't gonna eat mywhole.
SPEAKER_02 (30:20):
If I learn anything, it's beware of a motherfucker
who's old in the professionwhere people die young.
Like, nobody else in that showis older.
You said it right there.
You said it right there.
Like, everybody's young, andthen you got this one old man in
the order.
Like, what?
(30:40):
Like, come on, bro.
Like, y'all don't know what thisman been through.
Like, half of y'all ain't nobodybarely made it to this man's
age, and then like Nagamo said,like, most of the people in the
order never been full becausethey either die or some shit.
Like, hell, Connor Greery gothis place because he killed the
order member.
So, like, that's what I'msaying.
Like, to even be an old ass manin the order, talk a mirror have
(31:05):
to be on some crazy shit.
Like, he damn near went in thereuntouched.
He pulled up in the back of ataxi cab.
Nigga pulled up in the back of ataxi cab and just like saved
everybody from this building,falling down, and just pulled
off.
That was like his firstentrance.
He just left.
Yeah, that was that was whenSakamoto was fighting apart and
(31:27):
the building was coming down.
He came and leveled that shitout.
That shit was kind of crazy.
Then when he got in the fightwith Goku, Goku can't do shit
with him.
I thought that was gonna be moreof a fight fight, but then shit,
you gotta think about it.
Goku, young as hell, Takamura,old as hell.
So shit.
Takamura been seen every goddamnthing, young boy.
Like, you know, seen everything.
SPEAKER_05 (31:47):
Yeah, like he's the type of dude, like, bro.
I've been in this blind worldlong enough to know what the
turnover rate is.
SPEAKER_02 (31:54):
Like, facts.
You see how you see how heblocked.
Listen, put in perspective, thisman is old, and we all know
about old man's strength, right?
This man blocked Goku downsmash.
Everybody know what a downsmash, he blocked this man's
down smash with a one hand, justuh blocked that man's shit.
And every time he grabbed thatfucking sword handle, some
(32:17):
shit's going in half.
Anything in this area in thevicinity of this man is going in
half.
Like Goku got his fingers andears chopped.
He was chopping his ass, got hisfingers in his ears chopped.
Uh made him run.
That was the funny part for me,right?
That bitch base, fuck that niggapoked the damn building.
(32:38):
He said, I'm not fighting thatold man, like you tripping.
Like, you ain't tell me this oldman was this strong.
Like, you wildin'.
Like, fuck it, let's switch.
So he bust through the building.
The talk of just followed hisass.
Like, he don't even open this.
How you know this man is crazy.
Instead of grabbing the fuckingdoor handle, and you know it's
not locked because he justpulled it down with the store
(32:59):
play.
Like, he just right.
SPEAKER_05 (33:01):
That was a crazy that entrance in there.
Y'all like, bro, he didn't evenuse the door like a normal
person.
He just sliced that door, youknow.
Like, Dika Boo, I see you.
SPEAKER_00 (33:10):
Like, he really wanna chop the door down.
To be honest, he really wanna.
SPEAKER_04 (33:18):
I'm like, bro, you can just open the door like a
normal person.
I'm like, hey, bro, I ain't likenah, you know, go ahead, boy
boy.
SPEAKER_02 (33:26):
Like, I'm I'm I'm just he made Goku bust through
the fucking walls, man.
That shit was crazy.
Nobody could stop him.
They had to blow everybody up.
I ain't gonna slide though.
If I had to pick a favoritecharacter, that's the thing
about this show because there'sso many side characters.
Like, I'm pretty sure when itcomes out, people are gonna have
a lot of different favoritecharacters.
Like, there's just so many whodo different shit.
(33:47):
Like obviously, like Sakamoto.
Matter of fact, I think therewas um when I was reading Among,
I think they had a poll.
Nagamo was number one.
Yeah, when I was reading, yeah,when I was reading it last year,
Nagamo was number one.
Uh oddly enough, Sakamoto waslike, I think the highest
(34:08):
Sakamoto guy ranked was likebetween three and five.
Yeah, Goku was up there.
Shin was number Shin was upthere for sure.
He was like top two, top three.
Um I like Osaragi.
She I remember her being likenumber six or some shit.
I remember her being likeNinstasakamoto on Rank Hill and
(34:30):
shit.
But yeah, definitely NagamuNagamu was like a like a fan
pick.
Goku was like a fan pick.
Shin.
Shin probably got like Shinprobably got like the most
potential, I ain't gonna lie,simply because how he ain't
ducking no fights.
He's trying to get strong ashell since episode one.
He's he almost got maincharacter energy to be honest.
SPEAKER_05 (34:50):
Yeah, like underdog, almost like Midoria energy.
SPEAKER_02 (34:54):
Yeah, you feel me?
Like he he he for the whole, hefor the cause.
Any oh, one thing I did noticeif anybody threatened anything
about Sakamoto's family, heturned up as just like he's
Sakamoto.
Like that's that's what I fuckwith.
Like he might be fightingsomebody, losing a fight, but if
Sakamoto, like no, no, no, no.
SPEAKER_05 (35:13):
A better example would have been like Krillin's
where you don't have despiteeverything, like where Krillin
isn't that strong, but name onetime Krillin ducked the um fade.
SPEAKER_02 (35:25):
Yeah, no, he ain't ducking no fade, no.
SPEAKER_05 (35:28):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (35:29):
He's gonna hold off to go.
SPEAKER_05 (35:31):
I mean, the only time he'll run is if he was
being told to run, you know,like hey, yo, get this person to
save you or what type says,like, you know, kind of like
playing support while the uhstronger Z fighters show up,
like, all right, Krillin, now uhnow that we're here, we're gonna
take we're gonna handle it, makesure Boma and the rest of the
game all are good.
Like, you know, uh right, bro,he say them, say less.
(35:52):
You know, like, but no, like ifhe has to fight, like he ain't
ducking that fade.
Like, he's gonna at least try.
You're gonna at least try tohold them off or something, you
know.
Grillin ain't ducking no face.
They would be well, like, also,you know, he got one of the
baddest bitches uh as his wife,so I can't even hold Crown.
(36:14):
But no, for real though, I dolike shit.
Like, he like you said, he doeshave potential, but not gonna
lie, I'm not even surprised thatNazamo is number one because
like just something about himwhere I'm like, I like this guy.
Like, yeah, he's a troll, buthe's a likable troll.
He's like one of those guyswhere I'm like, okay, yeah, he
likes to have his jokes, buthe's cool.
(36:37):
He's cool.
SPEAKER_02 (36:38):
Yeah, I mean, he's one of them characters that like
he knows he's strong, so he'skind of like he's gonna fuck
around.
Like, he can do what he wants.
SPEAKER_05 (36:47):
I mean, you can even tell with the way he dressed.
Like, ain't he the one like berolling around with Hawaii, uh
Hawaiian t-shirts and whatnot?
Like, yeah, like he ain'tworried about us.
SPEAKER_02 (36:58):
I fought with his tattoos, he got some fire
tattoos.
SPEAKER_05 (37:01):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_04 (37:04):
Uh, was there anything else you want to
mention about the anime as awhole?
Uh no, not really.
Good.
Cool.
Uh if I were to put it to arating as it stands right now, I
wanna say dang.
SPEAKER_05 (37:28):
Uh, I wanna say a nine.
Like, I'm not trying to uh beone of those picky people, it's
just for the most part, it isenjoyable.
I would highly recommend it.
It's just ah like something'smissing, like maybe once we get
(37:50):
to like season two, seasonthree, maybe I'll bump up a
score.
But right now, as a series, it'sstanding at a nine out of ten
for me.
Like, I just feel like maybe ifI see more of the series, it'll
bump up to a 10.
Or if it's like anything likeseven deadly sins, I don't know.
I kind of mentioned this fromtime to time on the podcast
(38:12):
where my whole thing is withrating these things that just
because the first one or twoseasons were pretty good doesn't
mean that the finished productis gonna uh hold, you know, it's
like stand firm.
Where seven Deadly Sins wasfeeling like uh nine as well, at
(38:33):
least a solid nine, but then theplot got convoluted, the
animation kind of looking likegreat value type shit, and it
went from a nine to like a sevenpoint five, like it was still
not bad, it's just you had me inthat first half, not gonna lie,
(38:57):
just I don't know about thatsecond half.
Like, hell, I still didn't watchall so of the apocalypse.
We'll get to it, like we'regonna do a whole redux on seven
deadly sins and the sequelseries and all that.
Anyways, it just that's what I'msaying.
Like sometimes, like, justbecause it's looking like a 10
out of 10, like to be hero X,I'm still standing on that 10
(39:21):
out of 10 because it definitelyhas it had a lot going on to a
point to where like I just fuckwith this show.
I really fuck with it from astructural point of view.
I love the characters, theanimation, all the shit.
I I there was just so much thatI loved about it, like I still
stand firm on that 10.
But with Sakamoto days, I'm onlygiving it a nine because I feel
(39:41):
like maybe if I saw more, Imight give it a 10.
SPEAKER_03 (39:49):
I don't know, that's just me.
SPEAKER_04 (39:53):
But yeah, let's just go ahead and close this up, boy
boy.
Thank you for being on the showwith me.
And to the listener, I do thankyou for listening to it to the
end.
SPEAKER_05 (40:04):
Go ahead and have yourself a good morning, good
afternoon, good evening, goodnight, but ultimately do take it
easy.
Please stay nerdy.
Remember that great things arecoming, and we're gonna go ahead
and zone up out of here.
What up, gang?
Let's talk about Sakamoto days.
I like this anime.
Like, it's the right amount ofhigh octane action bullshit that
not gonna watch.
I'm gonna be straight up withyou.
I was watching both courts.
And by the time I got to thesecond one, you know what?
(00:24):
I just put my notes down and I'mlike, fuck it.
I'm just gonna enjoy it.
Like it's so good, it's like,you know what, man, you just
kind of ruining the experienceby taking all these notes and
whatnot.
I mean, some things where it'slike dialogue heavy to where you
might want to take notes, so youdefinitely make sure that I'm
not mistaken anything from it,like misinterpreting or
(00:48):
anything.
But honestly, suckamoto days isone of those animes where I'm
gonna be honest with you, youjust kind of turn your brain off
and just enjoy it.
But again, to some context, andby the way, Playboy, I am glad
that you're on for this reviewbecause I know you want to talk
about Sakamoto Day just like tobe hero X.
(01:09):
And there's a I'm gonna get to apoint where I'm like real crazy
that you recommended both ofthese anime world reviews.
But uh, I'll get into it.
Hold on.
Taro Sakamoto wants a legendaryhitman, considered the greatest
of them all.
Uh, bad guys feared him,assassins revered him.
One day he decided to get out ofthe game, he got married, he had
(01:30):
a kid.
Now he's living the quiet lifeas the owner of this convenience
store.
And the thing about it is afterfive years of being out of the
game, all these assassins andhitmen was like, uh, uh uh,
you're getting too comfortable,my dog.
You're getting too comfortable.
Oh, you think it's you can justwalk away from this life, have a
(01:52):
wife and kid, like just livingghetto fabulous in this little
Ricky Dink convenience store.
Nah, dawg, you need a you don'tunderstand.
You got a bag on your head now.
You got a billion-dollar bag onyour head.
We coming for that money.
Uh uh, Shin, a telepath andformer partner of Sakamoto,
(02:16):
tries to get uh Taro to back onthe field.
But when noticing the lifeSakamoto left the mob for, he
decided to get him, uh he givesup on making him get out of
retirement.
And then the mob tries to killShin, but Sakamoto came to the
rescue, gave Shin a job at thestore.
Aside from liking his new life,Sakamoto refuses to kill because
(02:40):
his wife Aoi would divorce himfor, which Tara does not want to
happen, which is totallyunderstandable.
Uh by the way, when they wereyoung, like before they got
married and all that shit.
I don't know about you, Playboy,but I don't like how Aoi kind of
emotionally manipulated Sakamotointo having to change a heart by
(03:03):
threatening the killer, so um,because like, oh yeah, you see
what happens when people youlove die, like do you want them
to have it?
So, you know, you gotta leavethis behind.
Like, I just can't be associatedwith a killer, you know.
I mean, that's understandable,but really, like, you're gonna
jump off and be like, oh, Imean, yeah, it was like snow and
(03:23):
whatnot.
Um, she might would have gotinjured at worst, but I don't
think the the fall wasn't eventhat big of a fall.
It wasn't even that deep of afall.
So, like, if anything, it wouldbe more like that one scene from
all it's funny to where heprobably like sprained, she'd
probably like sprain an ankleabout it.
But no, I don't like howemotionally manipulative that
(03:46):
was, but I understand.
SPEAKER_02 (03:49):
Yeah, it did kind of fuck him up.
My first time seeing that shit,like reading that shit, that
shit kind of fucked me.
I was like, damn, she justjumped off the fucking roof just
like no giving no fucks.
But then I at first I honestlythought maybe he'd save her on
some shit, but then you know,like it played up on some like
she just landed in this nose allsafe and gave him that little
speed or whatever.
(04:10):
But I mean my boy fell in love,man.
He was the top assassin.
He I guess you know, he probablygot tired of that life, man.
But I I don't know, that wasyoung Sakamoto.
My boy loving first sight, youknow.
That play, you know what thatputs to do to you.
SPEAKER_05 (04:23):
That's what I'm saying.
I'm like, bro, that gotta besome magical pussy to have him
get out of the game.
SPEAKER_02 (04:28):
He probably never had none ever.
All he knows was killing.
SPEAKER_05 (04:32):
Oh damn.
Well, oh damn.
SPEAKER_02 (04:35):
I mean, think about it.
SPEAKER_05 (04:37):
Yeah, like okay, it can go one or two ways.
Either he was like so committedto the job that, yeah, you're
right, he might not have everdid that, or maybe he might have
been one of those assassins towhere sometimes every now and
then, if he had to like take outa female target and it's like
kind of like you know, kind ofuh give to the gab, like kind of
(05:00):
play on, make it look like, ohwell, I'm just gonna play the
long game with it.
As soon as I catch a slipping,then I kill her.
But before, before I catch aslipping, let me lay down this
part.
It could have gone either waybecause some assassin do be like
that.
So like, uh uh uh.
I know it's not a strongexample, but you remember Harlem
(05:23):
Nights with Eddie Murphy and umRichard Pryor?
Right, yeah.
And you know that girl, like shewas trying to kill uh Quit and
she was like slept with himfirst and then was gonna shoot
him, but you know, Quit noticedthe gun under the pillow before
then, so like he was already onto her, but he was like, you
know what?
(05:44):
Let me hit it um real quick, andthen I it could be like that,
like it could be like that, butnah, like I wanna believe what
you were saying to where like heprobably just was the virgin the
whole time, man.
Who I guess I mean, yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (06:03):
Yeah, because Sakamoto kind of cool, man.
He nonchalant, he just you know,got that aura about him, like
that main character energy.
Like the you gotta think theyalways say the legendary
assassin.
Like this has to tell yousomething about his prime
compared to all the assassins inthis whole show.
And it's since the beginning ofthe show, they've been hinting
(06:24):
at multiple assassins, likealmost every episode, there's
they'll say somebody's namewho's not even an episode.
Like Takamura, they brought upTakamura in the first meeting
with the Order, and he didn'tshow up for a couple episodes.
Same with Conor Guri, like rankup his name, like who's that?
He don't show up till after yousee Takamura come through, you
(06:45):
know.
So it's a lot of like hinting atmore assassins with different
personalities, differentabilities.
So, you know, it's gonna bedifferent types of fights and
difficulties, all types of shit,man.
So I'm all for this shit, butit's it's kind of like a slice
of life for assassins.
SPEAKER_05 (07:02):
Yeah, it's like uh action comedy slice of life
because it does get like slowmoments, but I don't know.
I feel like it was like a goodblend of okay, they kind of
fucking around with the shop andwhatnot, like you know, typical
family should, and then everynow and then some assassin pull
(07:22):
up to the shop and I was like,hey yo, I heard Sakamoto's here.
Bro, like that one scene, okay.
Before I even get to that, let'stalk about Sakamoto for just one
moment.
When you mention his prime, Ilike how dude is like straight
up like Choji Akamichi fromNaruto, where it's like, oh,
(07:44):
apparently he can like compressall that fat he put on.
Like, I don't think he's likeeven fat for real.
It's more like just one of thosethings where like, okay, he kind
of got fat because you know heyou know got out of the game.
But then again, the way theyplay it off, like okay,
sometimes when something hitshim in the cheek and his cheeks
(08:07):
are so thick that it kind ofbounces off.
And bro, like the crazy what themost crazy subtle thing that
they did, because there's awhole bunch of crazy shit,
right?
Like we didn't even get to thecrazy shit, but one thing I did
like is when they went to theamusement park and buddy got on
that road coaster uh withSakamoto and Shin and the rest
(08:30):
of the gang, and he was gonnashoot Sakamoto with Shin giving
a telepathic message that heyyo, somebody about to shoot you,
and then he turned around justin time for the bullet to hit
his glasses, and he was like,bulletproof glasses, really.
I'm like, bro, that's actuallykind of genius.
SPEAKER_01 (08:49):
Because imagine always prepared, dude.
Like, even for a shopkeeper,he's still prepared as an
assassin.
SPEAKER_05 (08:55):
Like no, oh, oh, you know what?
This dude is like Jason Bournein anime, where he can pick up
literal, mundane, ordinary itemsand kill you, you know, like how
he'll like kind of stab you withum pins or like give it a box
(09:16):
cutter or whatnot.
Like I feel like I kind of bekind of tense whenever he picks
something up.
Like, you don't want to likepicking up a pebble, and then um
he's hazekey.
I like hazekey by the way.
Uh I'm gonna talk about him injust a moment, but one of these
feats that I love about Sakamotowhen Hayskey was trying to uh
(09:37):
snipe him, and then Sakamotopicked up this pebble, he threw
it, and it sliced right throughthe um rifle, like halfway
through.
I god damn.
See, he there's a theory towhere I think in that program
that he was in with the orderwhere you know Shan got
telepathy and some of them alsogot their abilities from.
(10:00):
I believe he was alsoexperimenting on, but he kind of
got that whole Captain Americasuper soldier serum type thing
going on to where he gets like apeak human, like he has more
strength and speed and whatnotthan the average person.
Otherwise, like, bro, as big ashe is, even at 30 um from his
(10:20):
prime, like he can still movearound and shit, like he's on
some Broly type shit, like bigdude.
You're thinking, like, oh, heain't gonna move that fast.
He's gonna slide on you sofucking fast.
SPEAKER_02 (10:34):
That's the scary part.
Cause like to be that big andmove that fast, you know, that's
like they teach you that shit inscience, bro.
Like, that's a lot of mass,that's a lot of force.
He like, no wonder he be doingsome incredible shit, bro.
He be whooping the fuck out ofpeople.
I'm about to be surprised they'dbe surviving some of the Lent
Pass.
But I my favorite fight though,as far as with the props and
(10:57):
shit he'd be using when it comesto improvising and shit like
that, was with um I believe itwas Kashima, the deer head guy
in the subway, when he said hedon't have any weapons, and
buddy started pulling guns outof his mouth and arms and shit,
and the soccer bottle just pullout a fucking uh a coupon, a
mechanical pin, and uh what thefuck?
Oh, a bottle cap or some shit.
(11:18):
Yeah, some shit, man.
Just a bunch of random shit inhis pocket.
He beat his ass with it.
I was like, dog, this is stillcrazy.
Like he reminded me of JackieChan.
SPEAKER_05 (11:26):
If Jackie Chan was like, yeah, he he does have that
Jackie Chan energy because Iswear to God, it's kind of hard
to tell if he's even taking thefight seriously.
Where he was like, okay, he'strying to make sure that the old
foes are like chilling, likethey good and all that.
Like, dudes straight up throwingold people at him, and then
(11:47):
talking about just cashing like,all right, sit him down.
Hey, you good, you good, likeyou need some candy, little boy,
you you good, you good.
I'm like, he was not worried atall against Koshi.
Like, if he was able to uh havetime to do all that shit.
Uh, who else I want to talkabout?
(12:08):
Oh, uh Lou.
Uh, I like how Lou reminds me uhRoth Lee with the Tysy drunk and
fist style fight, where like shecould be like a sad drunk, she
could be a happy drunk orwhatnot, and then she got that
mafia style drunk, and I'm like,what the fuck?
Uh and it's crazy that they havethis whole ranking system to
(12:30):
where okay, you can either belike a B rank list uh target or
like an A rank, and shit.
Uh Sakamoto was considered B,which he was very not, I'm gonna
say very upset, but like kind oftook he kind of took that
personally.
I'm like B rank.
Like, I've been out of the gamefor five years and they call me
(12:53):
a B rank.
Oh, they they assume I was nottouched.
Okay, I bet I got him, I gothim.
SPEAKER_02 (12:58):
Shit, Lou was a rank higher than uh Shin.
SPEAKER_05 (13:01):
Yeah, Shin was like what C D rank because they were
thinking, oh, he's just atelebound.
What can he do?
Like he he don't got hands forreal.
Like, how many people he killed?
Like, at least with Lou, like,okay, where drunken fist does,
it's like okay, it's believablethat he might have killed
somebody.
But with Shin, it's like yoursupport at best, you're like
(13:27):
feel support at best, you'relike the burden on the sky,
you're like the guy in the chairat best.
And then he had to prove himselfduring the whole uh uh assassin
training camp retreat thing thatthey were doing too.
Uh there was this one girl thatwas related to uh Rion, the
(13:51):
other partner that worked withit.
It was like Sakamoto, there wasNagamo, and then there was Ryon.
And there was like that wholeart with that.
And I was digging that too,especially uh there was that one
kid that was like 14 years old,like he didn't like uh I think
he just didn't like beingtouched.
And Shin was like, is this whatGen Z is like now?
(14:19):
That one kid with the face mask.
I don't know, I don't rememberhis name though.
SPEAKER_02 (14:24):
It's not Silva, yeah.
I think that's I think that wasit.
Yeah, because that's theirbrother.
The uh that's his brother, theum the one with the the one Shim
was fighting earlier with thecloak.
Right, right, right.
Yeah, yeah, their brother.
SPEAKER_05 (14:42):
Right.
Okay, okay.
Uh was it?
I don't want to get my notesagain.
Uh but uh what was that?
Um, oh okay, K.
Let's talk about HSK.
He got this bird, uh Pskey, andI just like K SK because this
(15:05):
dude is so broke, like he beenliving in like practical squall.
Like he had like this makeshifttent that just blew off the
roof, and I kind of feel bad forhim for that.
But like imagine being so brokethat you think with like a
billion yen, you're like, ooh, abillion yen?
I can finally afford sushi.
(15:27):
And then meanwhile, I'm cominghome from the job eating sushi,
like, damn.
I guess I can't complain toomuch.
I'm like, I thought I was broke.
I'm like, dog, like, is it thatbadass?
I'm sitting here like Sakamoto,man, give this man a job.
Oh god, like why y'all doing myboy hate shit like this?
(15:51):
And y'all know how good he iswith a gun, too.
Like, man, give this man a job.
Having him um practicallyswimming talents for pocket
games.
Give this man a job.
SPEAKER_02 (16:06):
Yeah, he had like the um he like one of the best
shooters in the um series.
I think he had like the highest,the highest rank when they went
to go take uh check for the umthe best shooters, and there was
somebody um there was rankedhigher than Sakamoto, and they
were trying to figure out who itwas, and it was Hayeskay, but he
forgot to put his fucking namedown on that list.
SPEAKER_05 (16:32):
That was funny, but bro, like he's kind of crazy
with those weakest shape bowlsfor real.
Especially when they were goingagainst that one guy that was
invisible, um, thinking like,okay, well, I may not be able to
see you, but I can hear your uhfootsteps and all that shit.
I just need to triangulate andyou know, kind of use like some
(16:54):
geometry, like trigonometry orwhatnot, and kind of angle the
bullets where he can like kindof at least graze you a little
bit.
I'm like, damn, he's fuckingdangerous with that shit.
Like you gotta really be on yourtoes if he's on you with that
scoop.
If I if I really needed thesecurity, like, say for
(17:15):
instance, like, oh, somebodytrying to uh take me out, like I
need a sniper that'll take outhim.
And but uh I hope it's not gonnabe like inside job where I get
so paranoid where I'm like,okay, well, I got a sniper in
case somebody tried to snipe me,but who do I have checking the
sniper?
(17:36):
Who do I have checking my sniperthough?
Nah, I'm fucking with you.
But uh I did like thedevelopment with the prisoners,
like there were like fourprisoners on getting out of
jail, the inmates, and they weregoing after Sakamoto 2.
Uh, I like the blackrepresentation between Dump and
(18:00):
uh minimalists.
Well, now, Dump, I feel like shegot that hedgehog dilemma to
where she wants to lovesomebody, but she got like this
very I mean, keep in mind withher ability, she kind of like
Kimimara where she likeprotrudes these spikes from her
body, but it's like she willlike somebody, but only on the
(18:21):
condition that they have to bescared out of their lives, and
she's like, Oh, I love that lookon your face, you look so cute,
and then she went, give me ahug.
I'm like, uh, I don't know.
And the next thing you know, shelike impales them out.
Oh, you're not cute anymore nowthat you're dead.
I'm like, bitch, you are crazy.
Like, I almost feel bad for you,but he just the crazy just
(18:46):
overshadows it.
SPEAKER_02 (18:48):
Like she was fucking tripping.
Out of all four of them, sheprobably had the most psychotic
logic, bro.
Like, what the fuck?
SPEAKER_05 (18:58):
I mean, at least with a part, it's like, okay,
like you can kind of give him achance, and they did, so I'm
like, okay, he's not all thatbad.
He was kind of tweaking, but hewasn't that bad.
SPEAKER_02 (19:10):
But uh just like any other villain, as far as like
see his backstory is kind oflike any other villain, like as
far as being a kid and beingtraumatized.
He tried, he was gettingbullied.
Yeah, you know what I'm saying?
Like, it came down to the oneperson who was keeping him
happy, like his like his father,you know what I'm saying?
He was happy until until himgetting bullied by the kids, and
(19:33):
he started tearing apart thatdamn that damn uh teddy bear,
and then he ended up killing afucking cat or dog, some shit, I
think.
Yeah, daddy wanna get himchecked.
He said, nah, he's normal.
Normal.
SPEAKER_05 (19:48):
Hell, no, it was like some on some Jeffrey Dahmer
type shit to where it was likeyou you seen Monster from um
Netflix, where like essentiallythe father, he was the one that
taught Jeffrey how to hunt andwhatnot.
And then when all that shitJeffrey did um leading up to the
trial and whatnot, and uh Iguess it was like a lawyer or a
(20:10):
doctor or somebody, and they waslike getting into a bottle of
it, and essentially the dad waslike in denial.
Like, no, I did not teach my sonthis.
I did not teach my son this liketechnically you did, you just
said you didn't know that he wasgonna do that on humans.
It's kind of like that to whereit's like crazy how it traces
back to childhood, it alwaystraces back to childhood.
(20:30):
Yeah, like they grow up likethat, right?
It started somewhere, yeah.
It comes from somewhere.
Like you didn't mean for it tohappen this way, but it came
from somewhere.
But uh oh, I like how I thinkit's so funny that a part is so
OCD when he killed a dude andwas looking at his mom
collection and he was like, waita minute, where's volume seven?
(20:52):
Like, what the fuck is going on?
He went straight to the store,bought volume seven, put that
shit on the book of say, Oh mygod, okay.
SPEAKER_02 (21:01):
The world that's no serial killer ass shit.
SPEAKER_04 (21:06):
I thought it was so funny.
SPEAKER_02 (21:08):
Like, why why aren't you gone?
Why aren't you trying to getaway right now?
SPEAKER_05 (21:14):
I'm like, yeah, like I guess once again, like he
gotta be pretty confident as anassassin to where I'm like, hey
man, ain't nobody gonna take meout.
Like, I'm him.
Like, I'm good.
Uh Saw, the one thing I likeabout Saul is that he has some
oddly accurate dialogue aboutanime, uh, manga, and movies
(21:36):
where it's like, oh well, wecan't let it all end too soon.
He's like, You're gonna bore theaudience or some shit like that.
I'm like, hey, yo, you knowwhat?
He's not wrong.
Like, I it's kind of weird howyou use it in this in that
context, but he ain't wrongabout that part.
(22:01):
Uh, one more person, minimalist.
All right, here's the dude Iwant to talk to you about where
he reminds me of to be hero X,where we got the revealing next
day, right?
And we were talking about, wewere gigging about X, how he got
these reality warping power, howhe literally bowled up Dragon
(22:22):
Ball into a ball and just threwhim in the uh river.
This dude, minimalist, andSakamoto days, he's so strong he
will like grab anything he canget his hands on and just bowl
it up and shit.
And I'm like, what the fuck?
SPEAKER_02 (22:40):
You know, it's kind of broken.
SPEAKER_05 (22:45):
That was crazy.
SPEAKER_02 (22:48):
Uh uh him and Nagamo was kind of crazy because I
thought that first encounter wasactually his wife.
Oh shit.
SPEAKER_05 (22:57):
Oh, speaking of which, uh Owie, like when we
thought minimalist was gonnakill Aoi, and I thought, oh
shit, Aoi got hands.
Like, where is that?
SPEAKER_02 (23:08):
That's exactly what I said.
I'm like, oh shit.
But then I was like, of course.
SPEAKER_05 (23:11):
Oh, that's just Nagamo.
God damn.
I was like, whoa, I'm like, Ihad all this kill wrong.
But uh speaking of Nagamo, Ikind of like Nagumo to where
like he considered S-QLAS, hegot like shape shifting power.
Like, that's crazy too.
Like, I mean, you're thinking,like, how is he able to do that
(23:34):
if he's just a normal person?
But that's just the thing, he'snot a normal person.
Like, we kind of establishedthat as soon as as soon as I
found out Shin was a telepath,I'm like, okay, so there's
superpowers in this shit.
All right, so him being ashapeshifter, I'm not even
surprised.
But uh, he's kind of funny towhere he'll be like the kind of
(23:54):
dude where he'll give you likebad news and be like, ah, I'm
just fucking with y'all.
And then Shin and Lou would tryto beat the shit out of him.
I'm like, yeah.
Now that's kind of funny.
Like, sometimes I'm kind of thatperson to where I'll just be
like fucking with you, like, ohshit, like fam, I'm sorry to
tell you this, but something badhappened.
SPEAKER_02 (24:17):
Yeah, he he'll fucking troll, man.
He he he do that through thewhole series.
That's just how he is.
Like even when he fight, he kindof he does that shit.
He kind of like one of themcharacters who don't take the
fight serious, but when you seehim stop smiling, you like okay,
yeah.
This the second, this like thesecond phase of the final boss
fight right here.
Like when Spider-Man stoppedsmiling or joking, or you know
(24:39):
what I'm saying?
Shit like that.
Motherfucking locked in forreal.
That's all they do.
SPEAKER_05 (24:46):
Bro, straight up, I thought he was gonna uh be one
of those assassins that try tokill Sakamoto, but in actuality,
he was just showing up to thisway, you know, hey yo, uh, you
know, hey, like we just fuckingwith each other, just like old
times, of course.
Like, you know how just fuckwith your fam.
But hey, yo, for real, though,for real, for real.
I heard on the streets that theyput a bat on your head.
(25:09):
Uh oh, and that second partwhere they Sakamoto and Sin the
gang was trying to infiltratethat building, and they were
like, oh, wait, hold on.
Um I don't hear, like, normallyI would hear people voicing in
their heads, but I don't hearany voices.
They opened that door, and theonly person that was like alive
(25:33):
was Nagamo, because keep inmind, somehow with Nagamo, Shin
can't read his mind.
So it's just kind of crazy howlike, oh uh Nagamo's the ones
that kill all these men.
SPEAKER_03 (25:45):
Nah, I'm just fucking with y'all.
SPEAKER_05 (25:47):
They were like this when I showed up.
Uh but uh, yeah, I'm not gonnalie, that was pretty much all my
notes.
Like, I like these characters, Ilove the action.
Uh I can't wait for season two.
Most likely, we we probablygonna have to wait till like a
(26:07):
year or two, like late nextyear, probably.
I don't I don't remember.
Like, I think they announcedthat there's definitely gonna be
a season two, but I just don'tknow when.
SPEAKER_04 (26:17):
But uh boy, you got anything else you want to add
on?
Uh any more things aboutSakamoto or anybody in general
that you wanna talk about beforeit closes out?
SPEAKER_02 (26:27):
Um, I did watch the finale, but we didn't get to
talk much about thewhite-haired.
Uh, you know, most animes alwayshave this white-haired OP
character that or farms.
Oh, uh Slur, right.
Slur and Gaku, man, there's wegot two of them.
And I've been waiting for Gokubecause he's like one of those.
(26:49):
He he kind of reminds me of Garoa little bit from one point,
man.
He kind of like Shallan justchill, but he's strong.
And then on top of that, he's agamer, bro.
Like he likes to play games, sohis fighting style is just like
this brawler with this weapon,he got a unique weapon.
Um, there's like I don't evenknow what the fuck it is.
(27:09):
Like this uh fucking long macetype of weapon, but it he can
shoot from it, you know what I'msaying?
He he blasted somebody with thatbitch.
And then um that shit, likehonestly, man, Gaku OP as fuck.
I think he's like 19 up, Ibelieve.
So him and Slur, they um sothat's that's what I really want
(27:32):
to talk about.
So the whole like the wholeaction behind what's been going
on is like a three-wayorganization fight between Slur,
Gaku, and their crew.
And then you have Sakamoto'screw with Heiske, Lou, Shin, and
then um, I don't know whether toreally count Nagumo's there.
(27:56):
Because Nagumo is just like oneof his like high school
childhood friends.
So he kind of just didn't likekeep him out of the way.
That's really why he pulled up,like, hey, just stay out the way
and let the order take care ofit.
So then you have the order inthe midst because when Takamura
pulled up, who's also a memberof the Order, you see he went
for both of he went both for umSakamoto and Slur.
(28:20):
You know what I'm saying?
Because the order just trying toget anybody who's against JAA
out of there.
And since Sakamoto have a bountyon his head, and slur just slur
just came and killed damn nearthe whole building.
Takamura here to slay anybody.
So I wonder what's gonna happenwhen they find out Nagamo's kind
of like helping Sakamoto in a ina sense.
(28:44):
You know what I'm saying?
Like, I wonder what's like howthat's gonna play out.
SPEAKER_04 (28:48):
Hey, you know what?
Now that I think about it, youknow who Slur kind of reminded
me of?
SPEAKER_05 (28:53):
Fucking bitches from how about Bebop.
You he had that kind of vibe forme.
Like, yeah, he is he was likejust stone cold with like cold
methodical killer, like ice inhis veins.
You can even see it in his eyeshow soulless they are.
SPEAKER_02 (29:14):
The fact that he had Goku doing all the fighting,
though, I just know he could dosome crazy shit.
We ain't seen it.
I know that little shit withSakamoto was just like a little
skirmish.
Because you gotta think, evenwhen he went against Sakamoto,
he knew.
Look, remember when he said umbut he you could tell, but it
was a lot of shit that went onin Sakamoto's time, bro.
Because he he hinted at someshit when he was like, Um, then
(29:36):
you could kill me again thistime, or something like
basically the plan they foughtbefore, and like Sakamoto got
the best of them, but he didn'tlike finish him or kill him or
something.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
So I'm like, okay, okay, so hecame back.
Sakamoto had been out of shapefor five years, so he different
his ass.
(29:56):
So you know, he's talking inshit, but then sakamura pull
though, they can't.
Do shit with old man talkingwe're at man.
SPEAKER_05 (30:03):
Bro, that was kind of crazy where he pulled up.
Like you're thinking, like, oh,what this old man gonna do?
I'm like, bro, listen, like, ifI learn anything, like if an old
man with a katana is pulling upto a fight, I'm like, he might
know something.
Like, I ain't gonna eat mywhole.
SPEAKER_02 (30:20):
If I learn anything, it's beware of a motherfucker
who's old in the professionwhere people die young.
Like, nobody else in that showis older.
You said it right there.
You said it right there.
Like, everybody's young, andthen you got this one old man in
the order.
Like, what?
(30:40):
Like, come on, bro.
Like, y'all don't know what thisman been through.
Like, half of y'all ain't nobodybarely made it to this man's
age, and then like Nagamo said,like, most of the people in the
order never been full becausethey either die or some shit.
Like, hell, Connor Greery gothis place because he killed the
order member.
So, like, that's what I'msaying.
Like, to even be an old ass manin the order, talk a mirror have
(31:05):
to be on some crazy shit.
Like, he damn near went in thereuntouched.
He pulled up in the back of ataxi cab.
Nigga pulled up in the back of ataxi cab and just like saved
everybody from this building,falling down, and just pulled
off.
That was like his firstentrance.
He just left.
Yeah, that was that was whenSakamoto was fighting apart and
(31:27):
the building was coming down.
He came and leveled that shitout.
That shit was kind of crazy.
Then when he got in the fightwith Goku, Goku can't do shit
with him.
I thought that was gonna be moreof a fight fight, but then shit,
you gotta think about it.
Goku, young as hell, Takamura,old as hell.
So shit.
Takamura been seen every goddamnthing, young boy.
Like, you know, seen everything.
SPEAKER_05 (31:47):
Yeah, like he's the type of dude, like, bro.
I've been in this blind worldlong enough to know what the
turnover rate is.
SPEAKER_02 (31:54):
Like, facts.
You see how you see how heblocked.
Listen, put in perspective, thisman is old, and we all know
about old man's strength, right?
This man blocked Goku downsmash.
Everybody know what a downsmash, he blocked this man's
down smash with a one hand, justuh blocked that man's shit.
And every time he grabbed thatfucking sword handle, some
(32:17):
shit's going in half.
Anything in this area in thevicinity of this man is going in
half.
Like Goku got his fingers andears chopped.
He was chopping his ass, got hisfingers in his ears chopped.
Uh made him run.
That was the funny part for me,right?
That bitch base, fuck that niggapoked the damn building.
(32:38):
He said, I'm not fighting thatold man, like you tripping.
Like, you ain't tell me this oldman was this strong.
Like, you wildin'.
Like, fuck it, let's switch.
So he bust through the building.
The talk of just followed hisass.
Like, he don't even open this.
How you know this man is crazy.
Instead of grabbing the fuckingdoor handle, and you know it's
not locked because he justpulled it down with the store
(32:59):
play.
Like, he just right.
SPEAKER_05 (33:01):
That was a crazy that entrance in there.
Y'all like, bro, he didn't evenuse the door like a normal
person.
He just sliced that door, youknow.
Like, Dika Boo, I see you.
SPEAKER_00 (33:10):
Like, he really wanna chop the door down.
To be honest, he really wanna.
SPEAKER_04 (33:18):
I'm like, bro, you can just open the door like a
normal person.
I'm like, hey, bro, I ain't likenah, you know, go ahead, boy
boy.
SPEAKER_02 (33:26):
Like, I'm I'm I'm just he made Goku bust through
the fucking walls, man.
That shit was crazy.
Nobody could stop him.
They had to blow everybody up.
I ain't gonna slide though.
If I had to pick a favoritecharacter, that's the thing
about this show because there'sso many side characters.
Like, I'm pretty sure when itcomes out, people are gonna have
a lot of different favoritecharacters.
Like, there's just so many whodo different shit.
(33:47):
Like obviously, like Sakamoto.
Matter of fact, I think therewas um when I was reading Among,
I think they had a poll.
Nagamo was number one.
Yeah, when I was reading, yeah,when I was reading it last year,
Nagamo was number one.
Uh oddly enough, Sakamoto waslike, I think the highest
(34:08):
Sakamoto guy ranked was likebetween three and five.
Yeah, Goku was up there.
Shin was number Shin was upthere for sure.
He was like top two, top three.
Um I like Osaragi.
She I remember her being likenumber six or some shit.
I remember her being likeNinstasakamoto on Rank Hill and
(34:30):
shit.
But yeah, definitely NagamuNagamu was like a like a fan
pick.
Goku was like a fan pick.
Shin.
Shin probably got like Shinprobably got like the most
potential, I ain't gonna lie,simply because how he ain't
ducking no fights.
He's trying to get strong ashell since episode one.
He's he almost got maincharacter energy to be honest.
SPEAKER_05 (34:50):
Yeah, like underdog, almost like Midoria energy.
SPEAKER_02 (34:54):
Yeah, you feel me?
Like he he he for the whole, hefor the cause.
Any oh, one thing I did noticeif anybody threatened anything
about Sakamoto's family, heturned up as just like he's
Sakamoto.
Like that's that's what I fuckwith.
Like he might be fightingsomebody, losing a fight, but if
Sakamoto, like no, no, no, no.
SPEAKER_05 (35:13):
A better example would have been like Krillin's
where you don't have despiteeverything, like where Krillin
isn't that strong, but name onetime Krillin ducked the um fade.
SPEAKER_02 (35:25):
Yeah, no, he ain't ducking no fade, no.
SPEAKER_05 (35:28):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (35:29):
He's gonna hold off to go.
SPEAKER_05 (35:31):
I mean, the only time he'll run is if he was
being told to run, you know,like hey, yo, get this person to
save you or what type says,like, you know, kind of like
playing support while the uhstronger Z fighters show up,
like, all right, Krillin, now uhnow that we're here, we're gonna
take we're gonna handle it, makesure Boma and the rest of the
game all are good.
Like, you know, uh right, bro,he say them, say less.
(35:52):
You know, like, but no, like ifhe has to fight, like he ain't
ducking that fade.
Like, he's gonna at least try.
You're gonna at least try tohold them off or something, you
know.
Grillin ain't ducking no face.
They would be well, like, also,you know, he got one of the
baddest bitches uh as his wife,so I can't even hold Crown.
(36:14):
But no, for real though, I dolike shit.
Like, he like you said, he doeshave potential, but not gonna
lie, I'm not even surprised thatNazamo is number one because
like just something about himwhere I'm like, I like this guy.
Like, yeah, he's a troll, buthe's a likable troll.
He's like one of those guyswhere I'm like, okay, yeah, he
likes to have his jokes, buthe's cool.
(36:37):
He's cool.
SPEAKER_02 (36:38):
Yeah, I mean, he's one of them characters that like
he knows he's strong, so he'skind of like he's gonna fuck
around.
Like, he can do what he wants.
SPEAKER_05 (36:47):
I mean, you can even tell with the way he dressed.
Like, ain't he the one like berolling around with Hawaii, uh
Hawaiian t-shirts and whatnot?
Like, yeah, like he ain'tworried about us.
SPEAKER_02 (36:58):
I fought with his tattoos, he got some fire
tattoos.
SPEAKER_05 (37:01):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_04 (37:04):
Uh, was there anything else you want to
mention about the anime as awhole?
Uh no, not really.
Good.
Cool.
Uh if I were to put it to arating as it stands right now, I
wanna say dang.
SPEAKER_05 (37:28):
Uh, I wanna say a nine.
Like, I'm not trying to uh beone of those picky people, it's
just for the most part, it isenjoyable.
I would highly recommend it.
It's just ah like something'smissing, like maybe once we get
(37:50):
to like season two, seasonthree, maybe I'll bump up a
score.
But right now, as a series, it'sstanding at a nine out of ten
for me.
Like, I just feel like maybe ifI see more of the series, it'll
bump up to a 10.
Or if it's like anything likeseven deadly sins, I don't know.
I kind of mentioned this fromtime to time on the podcast
(38:12):
where my whole thing is withrating these things that just
because the first one or twoseasons were pretty good doesn't
mean that the finished productis gonna uh hold, you know, it's
like stand firm.
Where seven Deadly Sins wasfeeling like uh nine as well, at
(38:33):
least a solid nine, but then theplot got convoluted, the
animation kind of looking likegreat value type shit, and it
went from a nine to like a sevenpoint five, like it was still
not bad, it's just you had me inthat first half, not gonna lie,
(38:57):
just I don't know about thatsecond half.
Like, hell, I still didn't watchall so of the apocalypse.
We'll get to it, like we'regonna do a whole redux on seven
deadly sins and the sequelseries and all that.
Anyways, it just that's what I'msaying.
Like sometimes, like, justbecause it's looking like a 10
out of 10, like to be hero X,I'm still standing on that 10
(39:21):
out of 10 because it definitelyhas it had a lot going on to a
point to where like I just fuckwith this show.
I really fuck with it from astructural point of view.
I love the characters, theanimation, all the shit.
I I there was just so much thatI loved about it, like I still
stand firm on that 10.
But with Sakamoto days, I'm onlygiving it a nine because I feel
(39:41):
like maybe if I saw more, Imight give it a 10.
SPEAKER_03 (39:49):
I don't know, that's just me.
SPEAKER_04 (39:53):
But yeah, let's just go ahead and close this up, boy
boy.
Thank you for being on the showwith me.
And to the listener, I do thankyou for listening to it to the
end.
SPEAKER_05 (40:04):
Go ahead and have yourself a good morning, good
afternoon, good evening, goodnight, but ultimately do take it
easy.
Please stay nerdy.
Remember that great things arecoming, and we're gonna go ahead
and zone up out of here.
