| Episodes 27 & 28 - a pair that I had been dreading, given the subject matter. Well, as expected, in-your-face whaling propaganda abounds. Worse yet, our main character Yamaoka commits a rather cruel act: he tricks his acquaintance Jeff into eating whale, knowing full well that it goes against Jeff's moral code. Rightfully absent from official streaming. Let's try to retain the image of Yamaoka as a good guy. |

| The second movie becomes pretty political over food as well and it's way better than this episode. |
| I just had to laugh when Jeff visits Watt in the hotel to and it's basically a James Bond Villains lair including Piranhas, Cigar smoking and evil laughing. The issue of whaling is much more complicated than "evil greedy foreigners vs good japanese traditions" but this story just oversimplifies it into that. What a shame! |
