Baby Assassins: Nice Days (Japanese title: ベイビーわるきゅーれ ナイスデイズ, lit. "Baby Valkyrie 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 catch the attention of the bloodthirsty hitman Kaede Fuyumura (Sosuke Ikematsu), the two must race to stop him from killing them 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 Valkyrie") 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.

IMI Jericho 941 R
Kaede Fuyumura (Sosuke Ikematsu) owns and prominently uses multiple two-tone IMI Jericho 941 Rs throughout the film.

Mahiro Fukagawa (Saori Izawa) briefly uses the pistol, as well. The Jerichos used in the film are Hudson-made airsoft replicas. Also of note is that a Farm assassin correctly identifies the pistol as a Jericho, making it the first and only properly named gun in the Baby Assassins franchise so far.

Mahiro Fukagawa (Saori Izawa)'s sidearm in the film is a SIG-Sauer GSR equipped with a threaded barrel, a flashlight/laser sight module and a suppressor.

The pistol was later modified into the GSR used by Takuya Kusakawa in Baby Assassins Everyday!.

Chisato Sugimoto (Akari Takaishi)'s sidearm in the film is SIG-Sauer P229R equipped with a threaded barrel, a laser module, and a suppressor.

The pistol's green fiber optic sight was homemade.
