Welcome to Sugar Park! is the anime's third episode, set within the Amusement Park Arc. A one-billion-yen bounty on Taro Sakamoto turns an ordinary family trip into a survival test, as former colleague Nagumo delivers the grim news and Lu settles into work behind the shop counter.
The third installment picks up just after Sakamoto and Shin put down a pair of twin killers, Song Hee and Bacho, and safeguard a treasured keepsake belonging to Lu.

That guest is Yoichi Nagumo, who once worked alongside Sakamoto in the killing trade. He arrives bearing grim news: a reward worth one billion yen now hangs over his former partner. Overnight, the retired legend becomes open season for every assassin chasing the payout, and the cruel timing lands him at an amusement park with his wife and daughter exactly when staying home would have been wiser.
