Sakamoto Days’ Final Trailer Reveals Taro Is Deathly Afraid of His Wife Divorcing Him

Taro’s wife, Aoi, convinced him to leave his job as an assassin. She believes everyone has people caring for them, so killing causes the victim’s friends and family a lot of pain. Aoi even ensured Taro would keep his word and added “no killing” as a family rule. The punishment for breaking this rule is Taro’s worst nightmare since Aoi would leave him forever. In the trailer, he is visibly scared and even his glasses shatter after hearing Aoi’s threat. He dreadfully nods as he acknowledges her warning. Despite being an ordinary citizen, Aoi doesn’t seem fazed by the violence. After someone places a bounty of 1 billion on Taro’s head, several hitmen continue to attack him at his store.

Aoi casually mentions that while it’s a headache, their bandage sales have gone up. We also see Taro’s daughter, Hana, putting bandages on the assassins who came to kill her father. The Sakamoto Family strictly abides by the family rules, and that applies to everyone, not just Taro. Hence, in the trailer, we see Taro inviting Shin to become a part of the family. As someone who will live and work with them, Shin must also follow the family rules. However, Shin’s punishment is different from Taro’s. The man threatens Shin to kill him if he breaks the rule, which, even as a joke, goes against his wife’s wishes.
