Fans have placed immense trust and high expectations on Suzuki, who was widely praised for his faithful and high-quality portrayal in the previous film, with comments like "If it's Ryohei-san, it's definitely going to be great" and "Exceeding expectations."

Further fueling fan excitement, the announcement was coincidentally made on March 26th, the birthday of Ryo Saeba.

Furthermore, fans have voiced hopes for future story developments and character appearances, with comments like "Will it cover before Umibozu & Miki appear, or up to the point where Umibozu is heavily involved?" and "They'll probably show his mercenary past too, I'm looking forward to it~," showcasing their deep love for the series. Anticipation continues to mount for the global exclusive distribution in 2027.

The context

City Hunter is a highly popular Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Tsukasa Hojo, which ran from 1985 to 1991. It follows Ryo Saeba, a "sweeper" operating in Shinjuku, Tokyo, who works as a private detective and hitman but is also notoriously lecherous. The series blends action, comedy, and drama, with Ryo often taking on cases from beautiful women. The term "Mokkori" is a recurring gag in the series, used to describe Ryo's lecherous urges or excitement, often leading to comedic situations. Umibozu (Falcon) and Miki are iconic supporting characters: Umibozu is a formidable mercenary and a rival-turned-friend of Ryo, known for his incredible strength and gentle nature towards children, while Miki runs the Cat's Eye Cafe and is his partner/love interest. The 2024 Netflix live-action adaptation, starring Ryohei Suzuki, was widely praised by fans for its faithfulness to the source material and Suzuki's spot-on portrayal of Ryo Saeba, making this sequel highly anticipated as the first-ever sequel to a Japanese Netflix original film.
