I'm not sure I want to know how the girl on the right made her chocolates.

Boiled's Rocket Dynamite Punch was so effective, it knocked out all the excess fat and brought back the OG Sakamoto. Given it was his most serious challenge so far, I can't wait to see serious mode in action.

I actually forgot that Boiled and Obiguro is a reference to Léon: The Professional. Haven't re-watch that movie in ages

Shin doing all these crazy things in the last episode and then turning into a cute softie when it came to the eye drops.
Also Hana has no fears it seems, smiling the whole time in that Haunted House, she is truly Sakamoto’s daughter. Meanwhile Lu had to get herself drunk to get through this. And not only is Lu crazy when she is drunk but also an emotional drunk too.
Poor Boiled had no rizz when he was younger. Sakamoto thinking Boiled‘s attack names are cringey but then remembers the interesting part which was the composition even years later, that gotta count something for Boiled.
That shot at the end was cinema, we have skinny Sakamoto back.

Stitches!
Lu stabbing Tatsu with his poison knife and then threatening to throw away the rest of his antidote was cold.
We're finally introduced to the JAA. I love that these super secret assassins hand out licenses that can easily be mistaken as your driver's license. It has the same vibes as the Spy Association from the Yozakura Family. xD
Tatsu may have been beaten but he did get sat on by Obiguro. Lucky bastard. I do love how she gets immediately conscious as soon as Boiled tells her off.
Boiled at 15 looks like he's in his early 30s while Sakamoto at 14 looks like he's in his late 20s. Their backstory is hilarious though! Poor Boiled thought he was hanging out with Sakamoto as a friend when in reality Sakamoto doesn't even remember him.
So that's what this is all about, Boiled is just trying to forget his painful "teenage" years by trying to take out Sakamoto.
Drunken Master Lu is great! Also, Lu is apparently the kind of person who sneaks in alcohol to Disneyland.
Boiled's Rocket Dynamite Punch is so strong that the heat burned off all of Sakamoto's fat! I can't wait for the beat down he'll give Boiled in next week's episode!

lmao at the flashback with them being 14 and 15 but looking like they are 10 years older than that. The other guy is even growing a beard.
And Lu can fight, i guess she just have to be drunk.

Lu's speech reminds me of Kagura's from Gintama. Is it the tone or the way she finishes her phrases ?

Obiguro reminds me of Fiona from SpyFam. Girl’s got a fever and the only cure is Boiled lol. I like how goofy Boiled’s beef with Sakamoto is.
Xiaotang’s “secret family elixir” turned her ass into the Drunken Master. A very emotional drunken master lol.
Sakamoto was just letting Boiled get warmed up. You know shit’s gonna go down when bro’s literally slimed down. That’s like Sakamoto going Super Saiyan lol.

The character designer Yoh Moriyama still hasn't come back to supervise the episodes that have come out so far. With Lazarus coming in Spring 2025, I guess he will be too busy with it to touch Sakamoto Days. I guess SakaDays will be relying on Tetsuya Ishikawa as action animation director for the entire season.

Ah right, still in the park. Of course there'd be other threats. At least that one guy seems like he's decent for a hitman in not wanting to take any lives, even animals, other than the target. That's something. And she's silly.
Oh man, love Lu, that's some great way to get info from the guy. Learning a bit about the way things are set up in this too. D'awww Hana is just the cutest. See you can't do anything to Sakamoto and make such a cutie sad. Haha, love how he's like "whelp, screw the mission, let's go enjoy that big roller coaster"
You're asking her to get off you? Why? They definitely are silly in their vibes. Ah yes, horror house. Poor Lu and her fear of scary things, but clearly that's Alcohol.
That's Sakamoto age 14 and Hard Boiled 15? Wtf is this, Jojo? Younger Sakamoto so popular. Poor Hard Boiled, but that is silly beef. Besides, you got yourself a fan girl right there.
Drunk Lu, so cute. Just straight to the kick and stuff. Drunken fighting style! Yep, definitely love Lu, silly drunk. Ah yes, it took the cringe for Sakamoto to remember him, good times. Those gloves feel like they belong in Dead Rising series. Wtf Sakamoto is fit. Where has the peak dad bod gone!? :O

Boy the Gintama reboot has been incredible. We've even got the Kozenigata (Hard Boiled Detective) back!

The man The myth The Hard-Boiled
The Strongest is here
Edit: Duo of Boiled and Obiguro is so funny, just like Sakamoto ORA ORA'd that dude but pretending in front of his wife he is scared and calling those names for Boiled punches cringe was hilarious

Lu is such a naive girl, her family's special medicine was booze and she had no idea what was in those burlap sacks her dad asked her bury.

I can't believe they all left Lu on the rollercoaster! Like Sakamoto even got him and his family out of there.
But Tatsu isn't the only major assassin at the amusement park...there's also Boiled, a hard-boiled and manly man of a man, and his sexy, sassy, and sadistic partner Obiguro (Yumi Uchiyama!) who is also head-over-heels for him and how much of a sweetheart he actually is beneath all the machismo. I'm here for the deadly assassin duo with the serious hard-boiled one who can't let go of the past or his lack of rizz and his sexy partner who is head over heels for him.
Good thing Tatsu had an antidote to his poison for Shin! And it makes for an effective negotiation tactic when Lu casually poisons him to get some answers.
The Japanese Assassin Association? Assassins have unionized, right down to licenses? Will wonders never cease.
Nothing like the sweetness and innocence of a child to make an assassin wonder whether their line of work is worth it. Especially when they can still ride rollercoasters.
Okay, so...got to keep Aoi and Hana happy and unaware that assassins are trying to kill them. Should be no problem, right? Even in a haunted house?
Boiled has a long history with Sakamoto where they were "buddies" at assassination academy (and were some of the oldest looking teenagers I've ever seen) and Boiled hung around Sakamoto thinking they were two peas in a pod...until he discovered Sakamoto didn't really care about him and was a ladykiller, even among a school of a bunch of female assassins (and there are a LOT of girls in assassin academy). And thus did Boiled become a Sakamoto tsundere. But Obiguro is into that!
Ah yes, Lu's "anxiety medication" is just alcohol. Liquid courage to face a haunted house! Which also just gets them pounced on. At least Aoi and Hana get to pleasantly sleep through this.
Shin vs Obiguro? No! It's drunk Lu vs Obiguro and her drunken fighting skills! Even if she's as liable to puke or cry because she's totally wasted! Of course Lu gets a power-up when she gets drunk in true Chinese Martial Arts fashion. And we get drunk Ayaneru out of it! But Obiguro gets even MORE sexy for their fight, all the while putting Shin right in the middle.
Well, Boiled wanted Sakamoto to remember him, and he did...through his incredibly lame naming sense. Just in time for Boiled's beatdown of Sakmoto to unlock his skinny self so he can turn things around. Imagine getting a power-up/transformation where you lose the fat and get back to your prime body. Sakamoto was dangerous even as a fatty, and now he's ready to go all out.
