A No-Look Thrust! The Unmatched Power of the Ultimate Grandpa Character, Takamura—Fans Say “He’s Insanely Dangerous” and “Terrifyingly Cool”—Episode 16 of the Anime "SAKAMOTO DAYS"

Episode 16 of the anime "SAKAMOTO DAYS" began airing sequentially from August 11. A scene featuring Takamura (voiced by Hōchū Ōtsuka), renowned as the strongest swordsman in the series, delivering a devastating blow to his enemy without even glancing at them, has excited viewers, earning reactions such as “That crazy old man has arrived!” and “He was terrifyingly cool, I loved it!”

At first glance, Takamura appears to be nothing more than a hunched-over old man. However, he is actually a member of "ORDER," a special task force that operates directly under the Japan Assassin Association, and he possesses the ability to cut down anything within his sword’s reach.

In episode 16, titled "Zan Zan Dance," Takamura confronts X (Slur, voiced by Daisuke Namikawa) and his group. Even when Uda (voiced by Masaya Matsukaze) sneaks up from behind, Takamura does not even spare him a glance but simply moves his blade to thrust it into his throat. In the next instant, he cuts off one of Gaku’s (voiced by Kōki Uchiyama) arms.

Viewers were highly enthusiastic about the scenes showing Takamura’s overwhelming strength, with comments such as “He’s outrageously dangerous,” “Terrifyingly cool, I loved it,” and “That crazy old man has arrived!”
