FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Tokyo, Japan – August 26, 2025 – The highly anticipated third installment of the acclaimed action-comedy franchise, Baby Assassins 3, officially arrives today on Digital and Blu-ray, promising audiences another adrenaline-fueled ride with their favorite teenage hitwomen. Fans can now stream or purchase the new Movie, continuing the saga of Chisato Sugimoto (Akari Takaishi) and Mahiro Fukagawa (Saori Izawa) as they navigate the perilous world of contract killing.
The Apex of Danger: A Nihilistic New Threat Emerges
In Baby Assassins 3, also known as Baby Assassins: Nice Days in its Japanese release, Chisato and Mahiro find themselves at the pinnacle of their assassin skills. However, this newfound expertise is put to the ultimate test as they confront a formidable new adversary: a brutally nihilistic freelance killer determined to usurp their positions and climb to the top of the assassin hierarchy. This dangerous antagonist, identified as Kaede Fuyumura, portrayed by Sosuke Ikematsu, presents a significant challenge, pushing the duo to their absolute limits and raising the stakes considerably for this latest chapter in their story. The film delves deeper into the consequences of their profession, exploring themes of responsibility and the fine line between professional assassins and those driven by pure malice.
Returning Stars and Key Newcomers Bolster the Cast
Akari Takaishi and Saori Izawa reprise their charismatic roles as the titular “baby assassins,” Chisato and Mahiro, respectively. Their on-screen chemistry and compelling performances have been a cornerstone of the franchise’s success, and Baby Assassins 3 allows them to showcase their characters’ growth and enhanced combat prowess. Supporting them in this dangerous mission are familiar faces and new additions to the Baby Assassins universe. The film welcomes back actors such as Atsuko Maeda, Atomu Mizuishi, and Tomo Nakai, who are joined by new talents like Mondo Otani, Kaibashira, karma, and Mr. Bunny, many of whom make their feature film debuts. The introduction of new characters, such as Iruka Minami (Atsuko Maeda) and Riku Nanase (Mondo Otani), reportedly offer additional support and fresh dynamics as Chisato and Mahiro face escalating threats.
A Masterclass in Action and Comedy Direction
Returning to direct is Yugo Sakamoto, whose vision has shaped the Baby Assassins franchise since its inception. Alongside him is action director Kensuke Sonomura, a celebrated choreographer renowned for his intricate and visceral fight sequences. Together, Sakamoto and Sonomura have crafted a Movie that is lauded for its expertly choreographed action, blending martial arts, gunplay, and creative kills with the series’ signature dry humor and character-driven moments. Early reviews suggest Baby Assassins 3 refines the formula established in the previous entries, offering a more intense and mature narrative while maintaining the engaging blend of action and comedy that fans have come to expect. The film’s pacing is noted as being tighter, with action sequences kicking in more frequently and effectively.
Evolution of the Franchise and its Themes
The Baby Assassins series, which began in 2021, has consistently followed the lives of Chisato and Mahiro as they balance their clandestine careers with the challenges of everyday society, often leading to darkly comedic situations. Baby Assassins 3 builds upon this foundation, exploring deeper themes about the nature of their work. The film reportedly prompts reflection on the distinction between assassins who kill for pay and those driven by a more nihilistic or destructive urge, adding a layer of gravitas to the otherwise lighthearted action. Despite the increased seriousness, the core of the franchise—the unwavering friendship and camaraderie between Chisato and Mahiro—remains central to the narrative, providing both emotional depth and comedic relief. This new installment is considered by many critics to be the most accomplished entry yet, successfully raising the stakes and deepening the characters’ journeys.
