There are also some new additions to the cast, and the breakdown for all of that is below.
What’s New for Sakamoto Days?
As one of the major franchises revealing new information during Jump Festa 2025 this weekend, Sakamoto Days has revealed with this newest trailer that the ending theme for the series is titled “Normal” as performed by Conton Candy.

When and Where to Watch Sakamoto Days
Sakamoto Days will be making its official premiere on January 11th as part of the upcoming Winter 2025 anime schedule. The series has already confirmed its plan to be split into two season as the first cour of episodes will be running in the Winter, and then will be followed by Season 2 of the anime (or Season 1B) beginning later this July as part of the Summer 2025 anime schedule. Following a small break in between, Sakamoto Days is clearly ready for a big run next year.
Yuto Suzuki’s original manga series is an assassin based one, but its action is far from grounded. Characters are often seen bending the laws of physics with every single fight, and Taro Sakamoto seems like he’s weakened because he’s since retired from all of that. But as fans (and Sakamoto’s enemies discover), there’s no real slowing down for an assassin who’s ready to take action at all times. And that’s why this series is likely going to really take off with fans when the first season makes its premiere through the course of next year.
