We have now reached episode 3 of the anime about a convenience store uncle killer, Sakamoto Days. This is an anime about a killer where our hero leaves his life as a legendary killer in the industry. When he falls in love with a girl who works at a convenience store, he changes from someone who takes other people's lives to someone who saves people on his wife's orders (everyone who obeys his wife prospers). For over 5 years, Sakamoto Taro left his life as a killer to become a convenience store uncle. He has had a normal life until he saves a young girl from the Chinese mafia. This causes him to be given a bounty by the assassin organization. Sakamoto is not afraid of anything, but what he really cares about is his family. That is the main point of this anime. Let's see what interesting things the story of Sakamoto Days Episode 3 has to offer.
The first thing we see when the episode opens is a killer organization that is bigger than we thought. When we first saw the story, we saw just a small group of killers who were unhappy that Sakamoto had left the industry and disappeared. Plus, many killers didn't know about Sakamoto, who was a legend in the industry. That means that this organization should be big, with new skilled people coming and going all the time (the ones who disappeared were Tui). And there should be people taking care of the organization at different levels, like in the John Wick movie universe or something like that. And those people should be very skilled people like Nagumo, a quick-witted disguiser who is Sakamoto's former colleague, who should be an assassin who controls the killers and prevents them from going astray.
Next is what we see in the universe of Sakamoto Days, that is, killers are everywhere and disguise themselves in various professions, such as the killer Pizza Nakajima or the cleaner killer Kurii Ningu, to the point that people who can see from 100 meters away know that this is a killer. In this episode, we will learn that Shin's mind-reading power is a specific mind-reading type, like a radio that receives different waves and can expand the range to receive everyone's thoughts. Or simply put, every voice, every thought of everyone in the radius will run through Shin's head as he wishes. But if you really want to target someone, you will need to concentrate quite a bit. But if someone who intends to do harm has a mind that is blazing and clear, Shin will be able to detect it. That is how Shin's mind-reading works.
But mind reading has a limited range, but if the conditions that support Shin's mind reading are met, he can expand the range of mind reading to 30 meters. Shin didn't say what the conditions are, and he didn't tell us where he got this power from. We'll have to wait and see this mystery in the next episodes. In addition to Shin's mind reading ability, he's also good at boxing. He's truly a worthy assassin. But he ended up with Sakamoto, who is an excellent assassin, so his skill was overshadowed a lot. To the point that we, the audience, thought that Shin was just a supporting character, or in the language of storytelling, a side character, or a supporting character to give the protagonist a prominent role by having this character lose and be unable to fight in the beginning, waiting for the hero to come and help in order to raise the protagonist's skill level (it came out like that in the beginning). Now we can think again
This episode, Shin has a full-fledged role, and Sakamoto himself saw the potential of Shin's talent and kindness, willing to die in Sakamoto's place to stop the organization from hunting him. This kind of person would never betray a friend or a benefactor. And what we can't not talk about is the current issue, which talks about the human feeling of love and fear of death. When we feel afraid of death, we will be careful, causing our thoughts and bodies to slow down for a while. Sakamoto himself is like that, but he is not afraid of death like an assassin thinks. What Sakamoto is afraid of is that his family will be hurt after he dies, because this is a mission that he must do for the rest of his life, to protect his beloved family to be safe. In the past, Sakamoto had nothing to worry about, so he lived a life without fear of death. But now he has a new power, the power of protection and the love of his family, which Uncle Sakamoto has wanted and craved all his life.
This is just one episode, but there are so many stories to talk about. In addition to the fun of watching the fights in the story and Uncle Sakamoto's coolness, we also learn about various hidden stories in this anime. If you just watch it normally, you might not think about it at all. But when you analyze and separate it into points, there are many things hidden, and it's very interesting. This is the main point of this article, which wants to pick up these stories to talk about, so that those who have watched the anime and overlooked it can learn the hidden information through various anime stories, so that you can enjoy watching anime more. And when Sakamoto Days Episode 4 is released, we will immediately pick it up to analyze and separate it for you to read again. Stay tuned and see you next time.
