Bathhouse Roughhouse gives the crew a rare breather after a brutal fight, only for a public bath to prove anything but relaxing. By the episode's end a mysterious mafia figure arrives seeking Lu, dragging the group toward a high-stakes gamble.
Summary
Fresh off toppling the assassin band led by Kashima and safely pulling Lu out of danger, Sakamoto and his companions look to unwind. Shin, meanwhile, reunites with Asakura and the old LAB crew, showing how far he has come. Wanting to shake off their battle-worn fatigue, the whole family heads for a nearby public bath, but the place turns out to be far too hazardous for any real rest. An amateur hitman working there recognizes Sakamoto and rigs the jet baths, sauna, and icy plunge pool with traps. Sakamoto sails through every one of them unbothered while Shin absorbs the brunt of the chaos.
The second half shifts gears as a mafia man named Lu Wutang appears in search of Lu, pressing her to take the reins of her family's crime clan. She turns him down, content with the calmer life she has built alongside Sakamoto's group. Wutang counters with a wager set in an underground casino, where whoever grows a large stake of yen into the greatest profit earns the right to claim her. Sakamoto and Shin find themselves pulled into the contest despite having no idea how to gamble.

Notes
This tenth entry falls within the Death Row Prisoners Arc and adapts material from Chapters 32 and 34. It aired on March 15, 2025, keeping Hashire Sakamoto and Futsū as its opening and ending themes.
The adaptation adds and reworks many small beats. It stretches out the family's chat about the hot springs, expands Yutaro's realization that he is speaking to Sakamoto and his flashback, and adjusts several sauna and jet-bath moments, including two children watching the pair. It also folds in the reveal that Shin can read animal minds and turns Tanaka and Seba's launch of a crepe business into an anime-original scene, a nod to Seba's manga dream of running such a shop with his brother.
