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 installment of the Baby Assassins film series. The film continues to follow teenage 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 catching the attention of the bloodthirsty, legendary hitman Kaede Fuyumura (Sosuke Ikematsu), the girls 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) premiered a week later.
