“Slur” makes a scary debut when Shin's bow ends in Sakamoto Days section 9

The following contains spoilers for Sakamoto Days section 9, “All On -Board”, available on Netflix.

The ninth episode of Sakamoto days Was an “All's Well that ends well” the conclusion to the lab, which explored Shin's unique childhood and how he got his powers, with a final battle between Sakamoto and Kashima who took place in parallel with showdown between Kashimas Lackey in the invisible costume, seba, seba, heisue and pi, Heisuke and Pisuke and Pisuke and Pisuke and Pisuke and Pisuke and Pisuke and Pisuke. It was a decent way to end the bow, but there were some odd moments during the section that really damaged the experience, because noticing the issues immediately withdraw one from it.

The most striking part of the episode came after Team Sakamoto's triumph, when Shin had to immediately experience the thick bloodstream in the series' antagonist, which created a fairly aura around the individual who is known to us as “slur”.

FAMILY

Sakamoto Days: Lab Arc, explained

Sakamoto Days' Lab Arc explores Shin the Clairvoyant's mysterious past. Who is exactly shin, and where did his powers come from?

Continuity errors or unclear mechanics?

Shin & Heisuke vs seba went in a strange direction

Sakamoto, which retrieved from where the previous section ended, must deal with the unpredictable attacks from the gunman, Kashima, but seems to be under no pressure during their attack. Shin, on the other hand, had a very close conversation in his fight against Kashima's minion, Seba, but at the right time intervention from Heisuke after a very important Big-Brain decision by Shin tipped the wave to their advantage, albeit minimal. Heisuke's arrival was the dramatic last moment of Sakamoto days Section 8, not only because he came to the Obutabi Science Museum just in time to help Shin, but because Shin had just maintained a nasty slash from Seba, which keeps Spamming invisibility and used his own blood as a marker that Heisuke could then use as a goal. But for some reason, in Sakamoto days Section 9, the blood that Shin so carefully smeared on Seba's invisibility suit was gone, not to mention his own blood stains was nowhere to see even though he just took a bullet to the shoulder.

Of course, since the invisibility that should have been affected was not, Heisuke struggled to get a clear hit on his moving goal, which brilliantly came with a plan to critically damage the snike shooter: packing his invisibility jacket around a broken pipe before he hit it at high speed. Now attached to the ground with a damaged shoulder, Heisuke uses his brilliant ricoceting rounds to meet Seba again, but he is strangely unclear after having another ball buried in his second shoulder. Despite the injury, he manages to knit Heisuke quite nicely before he zips up his jacket, which is clearly still bloody and goes invisible again. It's a strange situation: Why did the blood make a difference when Heisuke arrived, but is completely negligible now? It may be that the suit can recontextualize spots as part of itself after a certain duration, but it was not quite explained. Heisuke, who uses Shin's power to his advantage, makes a last-dike effort and shoots a single round that was delivered to him by Piisuke as Ricocheted several times before setting himself into the sprinkler above Seba's head and released a torrent of water that made his invisibility useless. With that, Shin defeats him with an impressive flying scissors.

Kashima vs Sakamoto brings comedy

A battle as funny as the enemy is weird

One of the best parts of the latest sections of Sakamoto days Must be the moments when Kashima is in the limelight, and section 9 was no different, with the clash between him and Sakamoto which also produced a lot of humor, much of that situation, and part of the slapstick, which when their fight took them on a train and a slim Sakamoto shows up behind an evil. Train, Kashima sat quietly next to a forgetful old woman who, to get the breath, just because Sakamoto would appear unhappy almost out of thin air like any demon. There was also the fact that even though it saw that this lavender -haired man very clearly had several The leaves for the hands of each wrist, they did not show a hint of fear or anxiety in addition to checking if he is okay.

It has never been a more forgetful set of extra. The battles themselves were only decent. There was not much to write home about when it came to Sakamoto vs Kashima, but the latter kept it very entertaining with his strange abilities and choices in battle, as did the environment that increased the comic atmosphere in an otherwise serious struggle. Their battle takes place mainly on the train and ends when it finally makes its stop, with Sakamoto's squeaky Kashima out with his own train card, which was a nice way to gather their struggle, as strange as it was. There were also a little more revealed about Kashima's obvious fertilization to the individual known only as “slur”, which would set up Shin's possible meeting with the series antagonist later in the section.

Shin meets 'slur' self

To escape the lab could have been deadly

Here is where the serious aspects of the section reach a fever pitch, as Shin shows up just in time to save LU from falling, finding her with Asakura and Tanaka, the stupid guy who kidnapped Lu for wearing Shin's apron and name tag. When the facility starts to fall apart because it was set to self -destruction, Shin and LU do not have their free time to make up, but Lu's feelings quickly spill over when they finally pick things up. There is also the reunion of Shin and his father's figure who must also be traced quickly as they have to save the remaining people in the facility. With the help of their mental powers, Shin manages to find the remaining researchers and leads to them together with his father's figure.

On the way there, Asakura is overcome by emotions when he sees how great and reliable he has become, and the guilt he felt for several years almost completely falls away when he sees how much Shin has attached his power since the last time they saw each other. Elsewhere, Osaragi and Shishiba look at the facility's surveillance band to get a lead on his goal, but the one who is unfortunate enough to meet him is none other than Shin. While saving some of the remaining researchers, Shin bumps into him. The pure killing intention that originates from “slur” almost immobilizes him, but he only tells him to transfer his greetings to Sakamoto. It was a rather striking introduction to the main antagonist of Sakamoto daysAnd his effect on shin, combined with his eerie personality, really played the threat of “slur” in the viewer's mind.

All is well that ends well

Hana is finally allowed to talk about taking your parents to the school day

Shin and the others certainly manage to evacuate all and rendezvous outside the museum, where the researchers collectively thanked Shin for saving their lives. It was a moving moment when Shin heard a movement of positive thoughts about him from his former family. The meeting with slur is quickly forgotten because Sakamotos has a big dinner at home after an eventful day, where Hana is finally allowed to talk about her to get your parents to the school day's experience, and despite their constant bick ring, Shin and Lu are cool again. Overall it was a decent section of Sakamoto days It was definitely much more fun than the previous episode, and the introduction of the series antagonist may have been the best debut in the series yet.
