| Welp, can't say he didn't try to help out the clan. |
 |
| Revy became soft huh on the other hand, Yukio embraced her fate already. I'm not liking it tho, but she has people to protect. I wonder what will happen next, will Yukio barge Balalaika's team hideout? |

| I always love when Berettas get a spotlight. |

| I don't know I think I have a hatred for people that just do too much, my animosity for Rock is at an all-time high in this episode. I was kinda hoping that Balalaika would shoot him right there and effectively put me out of my misery. |

| Rock showed some balls against someone like Balalaika, who if normal people confronted someone like her in real life, they'd shit bricks in front of her from fear. He took her confrontation like a champ and after everything, it feels like his mind is finally ready to commit to the criminal underworld as someone's who truly dead rather than be stuck in an eternal purgatory where he's oblivious to both the City of the Living and the Walking Dead in his heart. Even Revy admitted that seeing the Japanese lifestyle and how everyone mostly is calm there and celebrating life normally, was something she envied given her history but it doesn't change shit with where she truly belongs. Nice to see Rock stand up to Balalaika like that and not completely fold under pressure due to fear, now he has to embrace that fear and be on the same wavelength with other criminals in the world; and cutting ties with his heart in Japan and his past is only the real start. |
| And with that we're back to the depressing status quo It was nice to see how far Revy and Rock have come in terms of their bond with Revy actually engaging more in their conversations and protecting him against their employer but Balalaika is just another kind of crazy |
| It seems Rock has finally decided that he wants to head deeper into the underworld and has stopped straddling the line between there and his old life. Balalaika makes an interesting point, when Rock says he doesn't want Balalaika to kill Yukio and the rest of her clan, he suggests that she instead kills the rival clan. He says he wants to save Yukio from a sense of justice, but his plea also involves the death of an entire other Yakuza clan. Not only that, but Rock speaks of justice by begging someone else to do the dirt, because he is not strong enough to do it himself. That has really been Rock's character throughout the show. He decided to take part in this dangerous criminal world, but is reliant on others to do the killing and to protect him. Obviously Rock has his skills, but he still talks of morals and justice to the people that have killed to keep him alive at times. It rings a bit hollow for him to talk that way. Yukio seems to have found some joy in the thrill of being a criminal, and sounds like she wants to go to Roanapur. Like Revy said, they're the walking dead and a having a fear of death will only cloud your judgement, so maybe Yukio was able to let go of that fear and has now found amusement in the danger. |

| Im losing interest/hope for this anime. Though i found the first half of this season good the second half with the japan arc has been very boring/bad to me. I dislike most new characters introduced in the japan arc. |
 |
| very epic episode revy at the end quite silly |
  me candies:        |
| This is where it becomes blatant how much Revy has changed, in one year AND away from Roanapur with Rock only. I could watch sixteen seasons of just them talking. The crazy action and mafia mayhem are fun and cool, but it's the moral dilemmas, layered dialogues and characters' development that made me fall in love with Black Lagoon. That and the ending theme. Yukio digging the thug life huh 🔫 |
