Sakamoto Days Anime teaser trailer reveals release window
The teaser trailer of Sakamoto Days was released an hour ago. According to the trailer, the anime will debut in January 2025. This update quashes all the rumours of Sakamoto Days Anime releasing in 2024.
Apart from that, the teaser looks super promising. It shows us both versions of Tara Sakamoto, our protagonist – the one who is slim, smart, and wreaks havoc, along with the one who makes obesity his friend, has a family to look after, etc.
As of now, it is impossible to say anything with certainty about the anime. However, by the looks of the teaser, we will possibly get to see the story of an assassin and how life changes for him once he has a family and doesn’t look like an assassin anymore.
Without any spoilers, here I’ll give you the gist of the story as described by Shonen Jump. Sakamoto Days revolves around Tara Sakamoto, a former assassin who can induce fear in villains in no time and is loved by the hitmen community.
However, when he fell in love, he first left the job behind and started a family to enjoy bonds and fatherhood. He lost his essence, fattened up like a pig, and started running a neighborhood store. But things were not supposed to go seamlessly as his past starts to haunt his present.
His life takes a wild turn when he gets a visitor from the past who offers him two choices – make a return to where he belongs or die. Now, his only goal is to protect the family he created alone while keeping his identity in the shadows.
