Baby Assassins: Nice Days

Baby Assassins: Nice Days (Japanese title: ベイビーわるきゅーれ ナイスデイズ, lit. "Baby Valkyries Nice Days") is a 2024 Japanese action film. The film is the sequel to the 2023 film Baby Assassins 2 and the third film in the Baby Assassins franchise. The film continues to follow young hitmen Chisato Sugimoto (Akari Takaishi) and Mahiro Fukagawa (Saori Izawa) as they go on a trip to the Japanese coastal city of Miyazaki for a contract and a vacation. After the girls cross paths with bloodthirsty hitman Kaede Fuyumura (Sosuke Ikematsu), the two must race to dispose of him and their original target with the help of fellow hitmen Iruka Minami (Atsuko Maeda) and Riku Nanase (Mondo Otani). Like the previous two films in the series, Yugo Sakamoto continues to serve as the film's director and lead writer, and Kensuke Sonomura continues to choreograph and direct the action sequences. The film was screened in select Japanese theaters (including some theaters in Miyazaki) and international film festivals before a Japan-wide release on September 27, 2024. A making-of documentary entitled Documentary of Baby Assassins (Japanese title: ドキュメンタリー オブ ベイビーわるきゅーれ, lit. "Documentary of Baby Valkyries") premiered a week later. Of note is that the film premiered in its native Japan while Baby Assassins Everyday! was still on air there; the latter series is eventually revealed to take place roughly a year after the events of this film.
