Sakamoto Days Season 1 Part 2 OTT Release Date: When and where to watch the dad-turned-hitman strike again
Sakamoto Days Season 1 Part 2 OTT Release Date: Hold on to your snacks, anime fans, Netflix just dropped a bomb. The trailer for Sakamoto Days Season 1 Part 2 is out, and it looks every bit as explosive, emotional, and wild as fans had hoped. The official streaming date? July 14, 2025. Mark your calendars, because your favourite anime of 2025 is back with more punches, plot twists and heart.
So, what's the buzz all about?
In case you've been living under a rock (or just haven't tuned in yet), Sakamoto Days is based on the smash-hit manga by Yuto Suzuki. It tells the story of Taro Sakamoto, once Japan's most feared assassin, now a chubby, lovable family man running a local store with his wife and daughter. But don't let the apron fool you - when danger knocks, Sakamoto still packs the same deadly punch he always did.
Recap: What happened in Season 1 Part 1?
Part 1 of Season 1 hit Netflix back on January 11, 2025 and took the anime world by storm. For 10 straight weeks, it dominated the Netflix Global Top 10 (Non-English TV) list. We saw Sakamoto and his quirky-yet-lethal gang fend off deadly assassins sent by the mysterious villain known only as X (aka Slur).
Between the fast-paced fights, hilarious one-liners, and emotional moments that tugged at your heart, Sakamoto Days became an instant fan favourite.
What's new in Season 1 Part 2?
If you thought Part 1 was intense, Part 2 is here to raise the stakes and possibly your blood pressure. The trailer gives us a glimpse of a high-octane three-way showdown between Sakamoto's crew, the elite assassin force called The Order, and the sinister X (Slur). Yes, it's chaos. Yes, it's going to be awesome.
Directed by Masaki Watanabe, Netflix promises the upcoming one to have "bigger fights, more laughs, and new characters to fall in love with." And if you're someone who vibes with good music, the show has a treat for you too. The new opening theme, "Method" by Kroi, is already creating buzz online.
