| I actually don't think Rock is going crazy at all. His excessive "crazy" acting is appropriate considering his position is "do or die". If he fucks this up at all, all the leaders are gonna kill him. He's far from crazy though. He knows exactly what he's doing and his acting is apart of the plan. |

| Loved the look in Rock's eyes at the end. :D |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Just one more episode. If you read the manga, you already know the outcome. :] |
 |
| can't wait for the next episode! sadly the end though :( |
guuse said: I dunno, personally i didn't like that episode very much, it's too hmm blurry imo. Roberta is not cool at all, she's more of annoying bitch and stuff like ''30 guys can't shoot one chick'' somewhat gets on my nerves. There got to be other ways to show epic toughness. Exactly, that's why I couldn't enjoy this episode. I never liked Roberta even in previous seasons, but she's so totally ridiculous in the OVAs that they could be classified as sci-fi. I sit through all action scenes with her with :| face. I hope she dies at the end. I can't really see the point of having immortal super killer in BL. |
| ^ I agree with you there, the only thing i like about Roberta is that psychopatic look on her face... oh and her hair. |

| Just who is this Rock guy? As Dutch said in this ep, when the hell did he become a genius of negotiation? I am disappointed in Roberta. She's just a drugged crazy in my eyes now. Anyways, it was really cool learning more about the past of Bala/Hotel Moscow (w/ Chang as well). I'd honestly rather watch more of that, but I guess I'll just read the manga to get that wish fulfilled. I hope the last episode ends well. |

| It was alright. It was awesome to see Revy. |
| What is Rock's use for the Lagoon if he no longer retains the purity Revy admires? |
 |
| Woah Rock is out of control! He is indeed scary in his own way. |
| I want to have faith in Rock, but I think think the life has finally got to him. Interesting stuff going on with Revy, btw. |

| What the heck is with Rock? heh. This is cool stuff (: |
| The exchange between Balalaika and the American major is brilliant. as is the dialogue at the end between Fabiola and Revy. Great episode. |

| ROCK KAKKOII |
 |
| A truly amazing episode ++++ loved the dialgues!!! Rock is mega cool. |
| roberta started to be creepy o.o i wonder what rock is planning ^^ |
 |
| Jesus, Rock is being so manipulative and smart. Fuck thats awesome. |
 |
| This series is so freaking awesome! Briljant dialogue, awesome fights, and smart plotlines. And finally Rock seems to become a bit more badass himself. |
     |
| damn Robeta is a beast O______O she literraly destroyed Shenua's sword .____. poor Sawyer, her chainsaw got broke T____T i was hoping Lotton would put up a fight!!! he got cheated!!!!! Roberta is just brutal >_____< the chang vs balalaika flashback was good!!! wish they added more scenes, it seems there's alot more they had discussed that event. so that's how Balalaika owed Dutch :P waaaaaa Revy and Shenua got shot in the arm T______T i hope they are okay :P pretty cold how Rock just flat out said to her that he doesn't need her in the next phase despite the fact he wanted her along in the beginning. so that's why balalaika got booted out?? she help an innocent standby??? Roberta as deadly as ever!!!!!!! while i kinda like Rock a bit here, he's still a douchebag from the very first season. stop trying to act cool all of a sudden, your not that big of a hotshot. ohhh noooooo only the last episode left :( i wish they animate more manga scenes, i read it's still being hiatus after 2 years now??? any chance they would continue this??? i could see how Madhouse had alot of trouble animating Hellsing Ultimate, since there are also taking care of this fine masterpiece, it's hard to juggle two masterpieces at a time. please please please don't kill Roberta T________T i can't wait what happens next!!!!! i freaking love Black Lagoon :) |

| Damn. Why Rock didn't play the evil mastermind in the 24 previous episode ? He's so badass right now. And Roberta is a beast, so much great in these OVA. |
 |
| Did she really just destroy a blade with her teeth and survived a direct hit from a rocket launcher? Seriously, that's all I can stand. If this is the best they can come up with then I'm glad there is no season 4. It is frustrating to see an awesome show being ruined like this. |
 |
| so roberta eats metal ... thats new |
 <--- Who Your Waifus Look Up To --->  |
| Roberta has totally lost it... and Rock has too. |
 |
| glad I'm not the only one struggling to grasp the machinations going on. I get the CIA/NSA rivalry thing, Roberta/FARC-Cubans/Soviets/HK Triad kind of but not really, and then there's some others? Anyway, catching a sword with your teeth then stopping a chainsaw between two guns is heavy Badassness. |
| Was a good episode, but...I'm not quite sure how I like the supernatural element this OVA series seems to have....I find it relatively hard to believe how many times Roberta's been shot at and nothing has actually hit her yet...I mean...she's only covered in blood because of bashing that guy's face off, so it's not as if those "meds" are pain killers, their just fucking mind blowers. and breaking the blade in half with her teeth, seems like the writers tried to make this OVA a perfect Hellsing tribute or something. I like the Gray Fox reference from Balalaika....this episode was pretty awesome story development...1 episode to go... I'm going to miss this :( |
 "To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment" |
| Finally!! Rock is.. rocking!! It's just like what they say... quiet and soft-looking people are monsters when they've had enough.. he might be tired of being a pussy.. |
 |
| Roberta broke a blade with her teeth? thats crazy. it looks like Rock has a big plan up his sleeve, can't wait to see what the final episode has in store. |
| Roberta's resistance is waay too stupid and ridiculous. Breaking an assassin weapon with her teeths… Really ? Surviving an entire army assault ? Really...? And i don't know, but i can't feel anything for Rock's character development. The different dialogues were what save this episode for being a very bad one. Well, let's hope the last episode wash some of the bad taste. |
| The only real gripe i have is that they sometimes stand in the open for like 5-10 seconds while getting shot by 20 people with assault rifles, and at most they got one bullet in the arm or so. Basically, dodging all that by jumping 20 stories down onto a boat, while shooting the boat to make it explode and hurl yourself over to the other side of the river (made up, but would fit Black Lagoon, wouldn't it?) is just as unrealistic and impossible, but it doesn't look like, on the contrary, it looks damn awesome. Standing there and nothing happens is just lame. Besides that..Roberta is crazy. The moment she sees Garcia she's like "want some tea with that?" smling from ear to ear, the moment she switches to bloodhound mode she could make a werewolf tuck his tail just by glaring at it. And Rock is..well, crazy. Different kind of crazy, but crazy. Does he try to use the Garcia/Roberta case as a way to get rid of quite a lot of different troublemakers aswell as shift the overall balance of power or what? Definitively crazy. |
| This has got to be the most insane and psychotic OVA ive seen. I honestly dont know how to rate this. |
~my list
| ShenHua, Sawyer VS Roberta < Lotton VS Roberta.... |
| Rock is the fucking man now, started to get his shit together. |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| Mini-maid is right though, Rock is slowly going the way Revy is. Rock giving the Light Yagami vibe these few episodes. Great episode. |
 |
| Rock going insane too? Wow, did roberta just break asword with her teeth? That's... scary and awesome. Shame there's only one episode left. |
 |
| Didn't quite get how Rock made the connection between Eda and the possibility of her being the person backing up Chang aka the CIA insider. As far as I can recall, he never had any reason to be suspicious of her. Why does he want to overthrow Chang anyway? In any case, it looks like the life in Roanapur has finally caught up to him, and instead of playing with his own life he found his enjoyment in playing with others through planning out scenarios. |

In any case, it looks like the life in Roanapur has finally caught up to him, and instead of playing with his own life he found his enjoyment in playing with others through planning out scenarios. I've literally just finished the OVA as I'm posting this so I think I could answer. If there's one thing about Rock, he's very observant. I would like to think that he's been slowly connecting the dots, trying to figure out the hierarchy of the whole city and Eda's and the church is the answer he came up with. Remember in season 1 when he and Revy were at the church the first time for errands, when he told Yolanda about Hotel Moscow trying to figure out how drugs are being distributed through other routes and not the "official" ones? Even that early in the series he already knows that the church is involved and is part of the hierarchy of the town. His conversation with Eda about the power backing up Chang was just to confirm his suspicions, although whether he knows if Eda is with the CIA isn't quite clear though. He thought he could shake things up and change the town by making the power behind Chang move, that he could create conflict that could put Chang out of favor with the powers that be and take him down. As he said, he's merely gambling, he's betting that something will happen because of the current situation, among other things. As for the second paragraph, I can't discuss it since all of that is revealed in ep5. |
| Somehow I don't like where this is heading, Revy and Rock should just continue with their work :P |
| Hmm first episode I considered mehh.. Wasnt rlly entertained |
 |
| Holy crap. Rock has officially gone to the dark side. I can't tell if Eda's crooked or not. And I loved Fabiola calling Revy out on her BS. We know you like him, Revy. |

| Ok episode. More Roberta being crazy. Things got pretty interesting at the end. Rock's smile was scary! |
 |
| Whoa Rock! Just calm down a bit. |
| and now Rock starting to look sadistic. olala .,.,.,. |
The world is cruel, ugly and pitiful. Let's watch anime and make it colorful |
