SAKAMOTO DAYS

SAKAMOTO'S

I'm still exhausted from the fight at the Lab.

My body feels stiff.

Were my pork buns always this heavy?

We'd be in trouble if a hit man attacked us right now.

There's only one thing for it.

IKOI NO YU NATURAL HOT SPRINGS

- Let's all take a bath together! - This is...

Big bath, big bath!

...a bathhouse?

BATHHOUSE MODE

Mr. Sakamoto, this isn't safe.

I must be too tired. It's affecting my mind-reading power.

You don't get it, do you?

Knowing when to rest so you can stay at your best

is part of being first-class.

In a sense, this is a high-priority task.

RELAX

Come on.

I've actually never been to a public bathhouse.

Really? How unusual.

The bathtub here is super big.

Really? Super big? Could I swim in it?

I'm so excited to go in!

Calm down.

DUCKIE

It's so slow at this time on a weekday.

I knew I shouldn't have come back to work at my folks' place.

Four adults and one child, please.

Oh, sure.

Why do I recognize him?

Oh no, I forgot towels.

Mr. Sakamoto, did you bring towels?

No.

Could he be...

With towels, please.

Right. Towels for each of you, so...

Let's see... Your total comes to 3,300 yen.

Right, thank you.

One moment, please.

Let's go, Daddy.

I knew it. That's him.

Taro Sakamoto, the legendary hit man.

Make it snappy.

I never thought a petty hit man like me would ever come in contact with him,

let alone while working at my folks'.

YUTARO, 24 AMATEUR HIT MAN

1 BILLION

And his bounty is one billion yen?

This is my chance to make a name for--

The towels?

Enjoy!

I feel like this experience will bring us closer, don't you?

Don't read too deep into this.

There's no way I'm gonna get stuck running the family business.

If I can just kill the legendary hit man, the fame and the one billion yen are mine.

I gotta do this.

I'm gonna do this.

Man, this is awesome. So liberating!

Feels good.

He's completely vulnerable.

I can do it. I'm sure I can.

HIGH POWER HYPER JET BATH

Look, Mr. Sakamoto, a jet bath.

Let's try it.

Sure.

I've never tried a special bath like this.

This feels amazing!

It's a bit weak.

You think?

This is the exact scenario I had in mind when I set up gimmicks in these baths.

Look, Mr. Sakamoto,

there's a "high power" button over here.

Both of you, die!

That's what jet baths are like? How dangerous.

- Whoa, it's like a fountain. - Daddy, can I try?

Sure, when you grow up.

Let's go see.

How's that for power?

It's strong enough to destroy a three-ton truck.

Now, where's Sakamoto been blown--

That feels good.

Wow, Mr. Sakamoto!

You're hardcore even when resting!

What the heck?

What kind of mass is packed into his body?

Let's go to the sauna.

What's a sauna?

Yes, yes, yes. Like a moth flying into a flame.

I've got him now.

BENEFITS OF A SAUNA

It's pretty hot in here.

The temperature's a bit low.

You think?

Oh, it says we can pour water on these to heat up the room.

Take this.

What's with this heat?!

This is what saunas are like?

It's hot enough to cause spontaneous combustion.

You'll burn to death.

Just right.

What? How thick is his body fat?

Yeah... Yeah, it is.

Compared to training as a hit man, this is nothing.

Right, Mr. Sakamoto?

Hey, there's a bonfire.

Daddy, can I go in?

Sure, when you grow up.

Oh my, did he get dizzy in the sauna?

Young fellows these days are so wimpy.

Ah, a cold bath.

If the heat won't do it, how about the cold?

Wha...

Is it... broken?

It's a bit too warm.

It's all frozen. We can skate on it!

How about this, then?

Feels good.

It's a waterfall!

Awesome!

Rejuvenating.

Shit!

Too warm.

- How? - Feels good.

- Why? - Rejuvenating.

- Why won't he die? - Too warm. Feels good.

- How is that possible? - Rejuvenating. Feels good.

You were in there for a while, honey.

Hmm? Shin's dead.

Daddy, can we get ice cream?

Sure, when you grow up.

You're no fun!

Damn it.

I now know why he's the legendary hit man, Taro Sakamoto!

I can't even picture killing him.

Daddy, let's play ping-pong.

Wow, Lu, you're so good!

Not bad, Lu.

Same to you, Mr. Manager.

I didn't want the life my parents picked out for me.

I rebelled for the sake of rebelling.

Stop making excuses and take over the bathhouse!

No! I'm gonna be a hit man.

You can't be a hit man!

You're not even that strong!

Come back here! Yutaro!

I haven't achieved anything in life. How could I kill Sakamoto, of all people?

Well, look who it is. Yutaro!

Long time no see.

Say something, you idiot.

Oh... Yeah...

What's up?

Didn't you leave town saying you'd make it big?

But you ended up working for your folks!

It's none of your business!

Who do you think you're yelling at? We're customers, remember?

Don't whimper, you creep.

You've always been such a coward.

It's not like you'd ever get a proper job,

so you might as well take over this bath-shack.

Don't insult my dad's bathhouse.

Look at this place. It's falling apart.

Isn't it, Mon?

A shitty bath-shack!

Ping...

Pong!

Yokkun! Yokkun!

What the hell did you do to him?

I didn't do any--

Who do you think you are?

Here you go.

You... You must've known all along.

You figured out that I was trying to

- kill you-- - The baths were great. Very innovative.

That's all.

The hot spring was great!

- Let's come again. - Yeah!

Shin is such a wimp.

How could he get this dizzy?

It's been years since I've been complimented by anyone.

And by the legendary hit man, no less.

Hi, Dad.

I've been thinking,

and I think it's time I took over.
