Bloodshed Unfolds in ‘Sakamoto Days’ Episode 21

Tokyo, Japan — In episode 21 of ‘Sakamoto Days,’ titled ‘Hard Mode,’ viewers are met with unexpected chaos as the once lighthearted narrative shifts to a dark confrontation between characters. Special candidate Shinaya goes on a murderous rampage during a brutal JCC exam, revealing he is controlled by a remote operator named Gaku, a member of the Slur organization.

The episode begins with Nao Toramaru unexpectedly transferring her title of ‘Sakamoto’s Number One Fan’ to Shin, even offering him her prized Sakamoto doll. However, the levity soon vanishes as the brutal examination unfolds, setting the stage for violence and survival.

Shin, Nao, and fellow candidates Mafuyu and Joichiro Kaji find themselves in a perilous situation, battling against Shinaya, who is displayed as a formidable opponent despite being asleep during the fight.
