With his family caught in the middle, he must again rely on his skills to make it out unscathed.
Sakamoto Days episode 4 recap
The episode opened with two more hitmen arriving at the amusement park to eliminate Taro Sakamoto. Meanwhile, after defeating the silver-haired hitman from the previous episode, Lu Shaotang interrogated him. She learned they were being targeted by the Dondenkai, a company that hires freelance assassins to carry out hits.
After obtaining the necessary information, the Sakamoto group continued their day at the amusement park. The silver-haired hitman, Tatsu, was surprised that Taro allowed him to live. Instead of pursuing the group again, Tatsu decides to leave but is intercepted by Boiled and Obiguro, a deadly duo from the Dondenkai.
As Lu and Shin Asakura evaluated the danger and considered leaving the amusement park, Aoi and Hana Sakamoto sensed something was wrong. However, they were reassured that everything was fine.
Later, Aoi and Hana wanted to go through the haunted house, which became the perfect location for Boiled and Obiguro to launch their attack. While preparing to strike, Boiled revealed that he and Taro had trained together at the Japan Assassin Association (JAA) at the start of their careers. Boiled believed they were close friends, but Taro had not given him much thought. This led to Boiled developing a grudge, insisting that he should be the one to eliminate Taro.
Inside the haunted house, the Sakamoto group was swarmed by zombies, which allowed Boiled and Obiguro to separate Taro from the others. Boiled attacked Taro and forced him onto a different floor, while Obiguro captured Aoi and Hana to lure Shin and Lu into another area.
Boiled attacked Taro using his special explosives, the Super Ball Bombs, and his Rocket Dynamite Punch gauntlets. Upon hearing the names of these techniques, Taro suddenly remembered Boiled because of how cringy they sounded.
After launching a full-scale attack, Boiled believed he had defeated Taro. However, Taro withstood Boiled’s attacks, and the hitman suddenly realized he was in danger. The episode ended with Taro stating that he would show Boiled what he was truly capable of.
