Sakamoto Days immerses its audience in a thrilling world dominated by assassins. Initially, the narrative introduces us to the general society of assassins, but as the story unfolds, it delves deeper into the elite world of those assassins who are often revered as urban legends. At the core of this mysterious realm is The Order, a prestigious sub-organization of the Japanese Association of Assassins (JAA), composed of the most formidable assassins in the craft.
The primary objective of The Order is to ensure harmony within the chaotic assassin realm by addressing and mitigating conflicts. Each member of The Order showcases skills that far exceed the capabilities of an average hitman, making it clear that even a single operative from The Order could single-handedly overpower an entire JAA branch.
In one striking example, the protagonist illustrates this stark contrast, suggesting that if ten Shin Askuras were to face off against a single member of The Order, they would meet their end in less than six seconds. This stark reminder of the power dynamics leads fans to ponder—who truly stands as the strongest among these legendary assassins, both in history and present-day?
12 Kamehameha
The Greatest Sniper in History
Kamihate stands unparalleled as the most skilled sniper in the extensive history of the JAA, dispatching threats with uncanny precision in mere moments. Known as a remarkable recluse, Kamihate has kept his identity concealed, with few witnesses ever seeing his face. Though predominantly a sniper, his capabilities extend beyond long-range combat, as evidenced during his encounter with Heisuke, where he bested the latter effortlessly. Despite his prowess, however, the speed of his peers, like Nagumo, suggests that in a direct confrontation, Kamihate would likely be outmatched.
11 Hyo
The Benevolent Menace
Once considered the least talented assassin, Hyo has ascended to join the ranks of the elite within the assassin community. His physical strength outstrips most other Order associates, rendering many attacks ineffective in his presence. However, his compassionate nature often leads him to prioritize the safety of others over his own, as seen in his battle against Kumanomi, which can be both a strength and a weakness against his merciless peers.
10 Osaragi
The Impulsive Reaper
As the only female member of The Order, Osaragi has traits that starkly contrast with Hyo’s, showcasing incredible potential in her assassination skills. Raised on a farm, she has developed an exceptional talent for dispatching foes, amassing a reputation for her ruthless efficiency, from taking down A-rank criminals to dismantling Carolina Reaper, an associate of X’s Organization. Despite her impressive accomplishments, her impulsiveness and relative inexperience often hinder her ranking among her more seasoned colleagues.
9 Kanaguri
The Pioneer of Assassin Movies
Kanaguri, once a member of The Order, has also established himself as the founder of Murder Films, a chilling entity devoted to chronicling the events of the assassin underbelly. His obsession with filmmaking becomes apparent during encounters, where his arsenal frequently incorporates cinematic tools. His overall effectiveness tends to fluctuate based on his desire to capture battles on film, suggesting his ranking may evolve with future developments.
8 Satoru Yotsumura
The Exiled Assassin
One of the founding figures of The Order, Yotsumura’s trajectory took a tragic turn when he was wrongfully framed and cast out. This betrayal led him to collaborate with Slur, one of the series’ primary antagonists. However, Yotsumura does not share Slur’s vision and considers him and his cohorts as revolutionaries. Known for employing a unique three-section staff with an attached blade, he commands respect even in his older years, often holding his own against two Order-level adversaries at once. Yet a pivotal defeat at the hands of ShiShiba has stalled his potential ascent.
7. Shishiba
The Pragmatic Executioner
Shishiba epitomizes the duality of mentor and protégée, showcasing a chilling nonchalance in most scenarios, yet showing intense focus when work or his student is at stake. He favors hammers as weapons, effectively utilizing them to dispatch opponents with impressive brute force. His strength is notably displayed when he defeats former mentor Yotsumura, showcasing not only power but also skill.
6 Kindaka
The Steel Dragon
Claimed by many as the fastest assassin in JAA history, Kindaka is a founding member of The Order. His extraordinary speed once left both Sakamoto and Nagumo unable to react in the past. Remarkably, even after being bedridden for eight years, Kindaka remained a significant threat, as evidenced by Sakamoto’s need to transform to face him—a testament to Kindaka’s formidable legacy.
5 Taro Sakamoto
The Greatest of All Time
Once hailed as the ultimate assassin, Taro Sakamoto’s unmatched speed, agility, perception, and strength made him legend. However, his transition to family life caused him to step away from the murder trade, resulting in a decline in his skills as others continued to grow stronger. Now, he finds himself bridging the gap to reclaim his former prowess, aware that he must surpass his prime to ensure both his safety and that of his loved ones.
4 Torres
The Greedy Gambler
Torres emerges as the most intimidating among the new recruits, driven primarily by monetary incentives. Before joining The Order, he had a lengthy and prosperous career in the underworld, becoming the only assassin to score five victories over Sakamoto, all while holding back. His signature use of dual sandblasters allows him to unleash devastating attacks capable of shattering the most resilient materials, proving his formidable presence in confrontations.
3 Yoichi Nagumo
The Lethal Trickster
As one of the most talented pupils to train at the JCC, Nagumo has honed his combat abilities to an exceptional degree, albeit with a laid-back demeanor that can irritate others. His battle against Gaku, a formidable foe from Slur’s ranks, showcases his adaptability with various weapons. Armed with a unique switchblade that houses multiple armaments, he proves almost impervious to countering due to his fluid combat style.
2. Takamura
Phantom of the JAA
Takamura stands as the most horrifying and formidable member of The Order, displaying unrivaled prowess in swordsmanship. Fiercely loyal to the JAA, he is depicted as an unstoppable force, instilling fear in adversaries, including the franchise’s main antagonist. Takamura has demonstrated his unmatched capability by overcoming multiple other Order-level assassins without difficulty, asserting himself as a true powerhouse, even pushing Sakamoto to his limits in their encounters.
