Sakamoto Days Episode 6 – “Heisuke Mashimo”

Amateur freelance hitman Heisuke Mashimo decides to take on Sakamoto’s bounty, hoping that the one billion yen will bring him out of poverty and help take care of his pet bird Piisuke. However, when he enters Sakamoto’s store, he does not recognize Sakamoto, who successfully bluffs him into thinking he entered the wrong store. With few other options for income, Heisuke decides to enter a paintball competition with a one million yen prize. However, Sakamoto also decides to enter the same contest in order to get the money needed to fix the damage all the various hitmen have caused to his store. Heisuke is disheartened to hear that only teams are allowed to participate in the competition, and Sakamoto and Shin take pity on him and allow him to join their team. When the competition starts, Sakamoto and Shin are shocked that Heisuke is actually an extremely talented marksman. Unfortunately, a drunk Lu accidentally reveals to Heisuke that Sakamoto is indeed his target. Heisuke switches his airsoft rifle with a real one and reluctantly targets Sakamoto and Shin. Shin uses his clairvoyance to pinpoint Heisuke and Sakamoto destroys his rifle with a thrown rock. Heisuke realizes he cannot defeat Sakamoto, but the latter compliments Heisuke’s sniping skills. However, they are forced to use the prize money to fix all the damage Heisuke’s bullets caused. Later, Aoi tells Shin the story of how she first met Sakamoto while Sakamoto warns Shin not to read Aoi’s mind.
