The Amusement Park Arc (遊園地編 Yūenchi-hen?)[1] is the first story arc in the Sakamoto Days series.
Meet Taro Sakamoto, who was once the world's greatest hitman, but who is now a store owner, husband, and father. This arc introduces the Sakamoto family with Aoi and Hana, Shin, a young man who was once Sakamoto's partner in the underworld, Lu Shaotang, a former Triad heiress, and Nagumo Sakamoto's old associate. The entire Sakamoto family goes on a trip to an amusement park. However, due to Sakamoto's bounty, he and Shin have to deal with assassins while having fun.
Summary[]
Sakamoto is living a peaceful life with his wife and daughter when Shin, his partner from the hitman days and clairvoyant comes to visit him. He tries to convince Sakamoto to come back to the hitman world, but Sakamoto disagrees. Shin then has to kill Sakamoto, because he left the hitman world. However, Shin is defeated, and upon defeat begs those from the Dondenkai to spare Sakamoto. It isn't successful and he is cornered by the men. However, Sakamoto appears and makes quick work of those present. Shin comes to work in Sakamoto's shop and over the next few days, they have encounters with various characters, including Lu Shaotang. However, Nagumo, Sakamoto's old friend, appears and reveals that a billion yen bounty has been put on Sakamoto's head.
Later, Sakamoto, Shin, Lu, Aoi, and Hana go to an amusement park to have fun. Unbeknownst to Hana and Aoi, a billion yen bounty has been put on Sakamoto's head. Due to this, their day off is disrupted by assassins who want to kill Sakamoto, including a poison user who Shin defeats with Sakamoto's help. However, they soon encounter Boiled and Obiguro. Lu manages to keep Obiguro, while Sakamoto, despite originally being overwhelmed by Boiled, unleashes his skinny form and defeats him. However, despite their best efforts, Aoi Sakamoto eventually finds out about the bounty. Due to the issues they faced, Sakamoto and Shin decided to cut the bounty off at the source.
