Fans who have been waiting to hear more about the Sakamoto Days Live-Action movie finally have more information about this upcoming movie. With the official release date being just around the corner, the fandom has been skeptical about this adaptation, but now, with the major reveal by the production team, they seem to not only be reassured but also eager to watch this movie. According to the latest reveal, we finally have information on three major new cast members, and they are not just side characters.

They are ORDER. In this narrative, this group is one of the most feared and fan-favorite assassin units in the entire Sakamoto Days universe. The actors who are going to be playing the roles of Nagumo, Shishiba, and Osaragi are Takumi Kitamura, Yusei Yagi, and Meru Nukumi. For the Sakamoto Days Live-Action film, directed by Yuichi Fukuda, this would be the first time these characters would be making an appearance.

Those who have read the manga know the importance of these characters because their being part of the story means that the stakes are going to be higher than ever. These are not some casual villains who could be defeated by the main character in an instant. Fans know that they represent the absolute cream of the crop in combat power in the world of assassins.

Any fans who want more information about ORDER before watching the Sakamoto Days Live-Action film, they operate directly under the Japanese Association of Assassins (JAA), serving as its elite special operations unit. Their mission is simple and terrifying: eliminate high-risk assassins to maintain balance. The reason why they are relevant in this story is that there was a time when Taro Sakamoto (the main character) was once a member.
