Episode 7 recap

Shin and Mafuyu developed a strong bond in Sakamoto Days part 2 episode 7, Kanaguri. The well-known hitman film director Kanguri soon confronted them. During this time, he was more interested in making a movie than in serving as an instructor for the tests. He selected Akira as his protagonist as part of this.

He blew the airliner, sending everyone plummeting from 20,000 meters in the air to heighten the drama of the movie’s setting. In response, the instructors changed the JCC Entrance Exam’s second test to be about surviving the fall. Luckily, Akira, Sakamoto, Shin, and Mafuyu were able to soften their landing by creating a big parachute thanks to her quick thinking and skillful stitching.

JCC Examiners Nao Toramura, Jouichirou Kaji, and Noro will be the main characters in Sakamoto Days part 2 episode 8, Exam, Stage Three. There will be an eerie vibe as they take the third exam. The JCC candidates will probably be required to undergo a challenging test.

Fans can anticipate Toramura and Sakamoto interacting during this time. Toramura was a huge fan of Sakamoto, as the previous episode had shown, and she had a handcrafted doll of him in her luggage. It appears that she will also have a difficult time with Shin and other people.
