Follow the action-packed story of legendary ex-hitman Taro Sakamoto as he bands with comrades to face off against the looming threat of assassins to ensure a peaceful life with his beloved family. Sakamoto and company run wild in no-holds-barred, over-the-top battles that have stolen the spotlight and captivated audiences far and wide. In a world overrun by assassins like the special force "The Order" from the Japanese Association of Assassins (JAA), and a mysterious individual called "X (Slur)" targeting assassins, what is the true meaning of strength for Sakamoto?

Season 2 picks up as legendary former hit man Taro Sakamoto and Shin infiltrate JCC (Japan Cleaner Culture) – Japan's assassin training institution — to uncover intelligence on the elusive figure known as "X," or "slur." Meanwhile, members of elite assassin task force ORDER — Nagumo, Shishiba, and Osaragi — head to Kyoto on assignment, only to be ambushed by an unexpected assailant. As conspiracies deepen, the shared history of Sakamoto, Nagumo, Rion, and Slur is finally brought to light.
