10. Satoru Yotsumura
One of the co-founders of the original Order is Satoru Yotsumura, who was later banished forever by the Order due to the controversial nature of his dismissal. His three part bladed staff is surgically precise and lethally destructive on the opposition. Furthermore, he also engages many top-notch assassins even at his advanced age.
He was able to deflect co-ordinated strikes against him by Shishiba, Nagumo and Osaragi respectively. He is tactful with decades of experience which young fighters do not have easily. Thus, his veteran status is still relevant among present combatants of an elite level.
9. Boiled
Boiled is the leading assassin of Dondenkai Agency who has a complicated background related to the legendary past of Sakamoto. He works in a successful team with Obiguro when it is time to assassinate targets with great difficulty and the need to be coordinated. He has great individual combat skills that commanded the respect of colleagues at the agency at all times.
8. Osaragi
Osaragi is the youngest and only female member among the most elite ranks of the organization. Her bridal-themed attire is a stark contrast to her deadly attributes of being an assassin and her cold-blooded killer persona. Additionally, her always blank face conceals that of tremendous combat capabilities behind her tranquil facades.
With dedicated training under Shishiba, a skilled trainer and subjecting herself to harsh mentorship, she had reached the status of elite Order. Her inherent ability allowed quick progress even though she was young and rather inexperienced in comparison with veterans. Thus, her raw talent and elite training make her an extraordinary potential assassin.
7. Shin Asakura
Shin Asakura is shown as exceedingly loyal with unusual clairvoyant skills granting tactical superiority. It can be viewed that his psychic abilities allow him to comprehend the moves of his opponents before they can make stern decisions. Furthermore, the desire to shelter the peaceful life of Sakamoto drives insane changes in the fighting.
He was able to kill several assassins who were sent to kill Sakamoto and was able to carry out his cover identity in a sound manner. His transformation into a failed assassin to a caring protector is thus one of the starkest character arcs.
6. Shishiba
Shishiba is a superior member of the Order, whose effectiveness is ruthless and defines contemporary assassination. His neck-twisting styles are quite similar to the signature styles of Sakamoto, and he does it with perfect precision. In combination with this, the claw hammer that he knows well provides both offence and defensive versatility to his fighting style.
He is particularly notable in defeating his former master Yotsumura who himself was quite experienced thus proving that he was superior to him. His participation in training Osaragi also demonstrates the ability of mentorship that accompanies his reputation as a killer.
5. Yoichi Nagumo
Yoichi Nagumo is one of the Sakamoto Days assassins who is tactically bright and adapts to most battling situations among the Order membership regularly. He can perfectly imitate effectively anyone in a matter of seconds with his master-level disguise skills. He is also shown to be lethally talented in use of weapons, or short swords, long firearms.
Kei Uzuki recognizes him as one of the two most powerful active fighters in the Order at the moment. Despite his carefree disposition, this is a cover to real fighting skills that earned respect among others.
4. Gaku
Gaku represents devastating power in sheer physical strength and an undisturbed presence in the battlefield. Although he was challenged in technique, he survived a head-on collision with Takamura, whose swordsmanship was way beyond his. Moreover, Gaku has destroyed entire branches of JAA single-handedly.
Nagumo himself as well recognizes him as the most daunting opponent he encountered throughout the Exhibition Century Arc. His heavy mace fits in well with his vicious combat style in high stakes fighting. So in the end, his brute strength balances his inability to display technical prowess.
3. Kei Uzuki
Kei Uzuki, one of Sakamoto Days assassins, is the famous assassin murderer terrorizing the underworld of Japan, methodically killing professional hitmen. He killed nearly 400 trained assassins, a quarter of the total number of assassins in the Japanese industry. Moreover, his unique X markings associated with terror within criminal organizations.
2. Prime Taro Sakamoto
As a legendary hitman, Prime Taro Sakamoto received the reputation of the greatest hitman in history and followed the decision peacefully retired. His fighting skills may be as high or even higher than those of Takamura, who is having incredible levels of strength. Hence, his mythic reputation attests to true fighting supremacy that influenced a whole generation.
1. Takamura
Takamura is the undisputed strongest character, even when his appearance is old and gives the false impression of weakness. He has legendary sword skills that cut down large buildings such as towers and buildings easily. He alone is the assassin who can make Sakamoto snap into his legendary thin figure in a moment.
His name is even respected by all including those in the Order who have few who dare to stand against him. His fighting prowess as a result cuts across the generational divide and sets him as the standard of excellence.
