| This one sent my score up to 10. Seeing Rock standing up to Revy like that was amazing. |
"Tonight, I sit in the eye of the storm. As fire boils around me, I press forward, winds and lightning lashing my wings. I am no match for what I face. Yet I will not back down, and though fear may place it's stranglehold on my heart, courage will see me through. With tears in my eyes, I hit full throttle. My engines become an inferno, and my weapons light up, awaiting my command. If I die tonight, I will do so fighting for everything I believe in."  |
| amazing episode.....rok was great |
 |
| The best episode so far.. the last scene was really nice. Rock just showed us that he is not as dumb as he looks. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Great episode. I thought Rock was just going to be another of those bland anime leads but he showed he had some backbone and put "Rebecca" back in her place. And nearly got killed doing it. The cigarette kiss was a perfect way to end the episode, the literal kiss and make up. There was so much LOL in this episode. Balalaika editing a po*n vid and Revy saying -"Is she taking it up the as*? Yup!" |

| Excellent episode. This is how you make characters, not those whining ass little pansies that are a dime a dozen. |
| ahaha balalaika watching porn <3 |
 |
| Rock was alpha as fuck. What more do I need to say that hasn't been repeated here at least 5 times? |
 |
| Loved this episode, my favorite so far probably. I love the contrast of Rock and Revy, and that Rock actually stands up for himself. Super entertaining show with interesting characters |
| Best episode so far. Rock really manned up this episode. The cigarette kiss at the ending was a nice way to end it. |
 |
| great episode. and yeah he was able to decipher the smuggled drugs by the cleaners. lol at the edit porn, Revy was soo interested in that :P also it seems Rebecca is her full name huh??? that Eda nun is scary :P ahahaha Revy giving her the finger _l_ still don't like Rock though. the guy is freaking annoying, but at least he made Revy realize that Violence is not the answer for everything. while the cigarrte kiss was good, still don't like that Rock guy. |
| I thought that Revy wasnt able to kill him..... but rock only survived cause he bravely faced her.... it seems difficult to revy to accept someone facing her like that.. With rock in the team... black lagoon will improve his methods and cure the "insane-agressive" side of Revy |
| Rock got some balls here. I was wondering if he'll be of some use. I have my answer. |
 |
This episode was fucking awesome. |
 |
| Damn, good to see Rock finally man up and shout back at Revy! I was beginning to think he'd never grow a pair. Also, the cigarette kiss was a nice touch, even though I'm not a fan of Rock x Revy. |
 |
| Well this was rather intense. The thing with cigarettes was a nice addition. |
 |
| Best episode so far. Loved seeing Rock step up to the plate. It's rare to see a male lead do that these days. |
| Sweet ending :] |
 |
| Definitely the best episode of the show so far. Love the relationship between Rock and Revy and how they worked their conflict out. Nice to see Rock standing up to Revy and while doing so reaffirming a certain moral character, without becoming annoying like a lot of shounen heroes are. |

| That was intense, love how Rock got serious. The nuns were pretty cool too |
Justicar said: If I had to pick one episode to watch from all the animes I've ever seen it would without a doubt be this episode. The BEST ever! Period Hahahahaha true!I LOVE IT! Everyone says that Rock finally manned up but I think his reactions up to now were normal not just cowardly. He just needed time. I mean every average person in his situation would have react worst and might never blend in. So to me he is a real badass himself. He is a very different badass than Revy though.That's why they are so great together, I love how they interact. Overall perfect ending with the "kiss", awesome lines ("want me to teach you how to smoke through your forehead?", "there is no medicine for violent idiots.") and great scenes (the nuns scene, the porn editing scece) Perfect.Perfect. |
| Great episode. Dutch is a genius, forcing both Revy and Rock on errand boy missions so they can work on their sexual tension. Plus it's nice to see the early stages of Rock's verbal badassery. Plus that indirect cigarette kiss between Revy and Rock is the most romantic thing I've seen in an anime. |
| Freaking amazing episode! Nice to see Rock stand up for himself, and it was also nice to see resolution between the two. That ending will be the closest we get to a kiss. :( |
 |
| Am I the only one who thought the ending was strangely touching? I never thought I would get the same smile on my face as I would watching a romance. I'm beginning to like this series a lot more! Every story needs some characterization, and this series have some great characters to work with! Keep pursuing your dreams! ~ Wynn |

| Favorite episode so far. Revy's face when seeing that porn was funny. Also both Rock and Revy showed multiple sides here. Rock being a whimp, sharp observator and negotiater, and finally badass in that standoff. Revy kinda came from the other side, she was bitching around to the point of being abusive in the car, she was surprised by and curious that porn despite her colorful history, got reduced to statist in the church, and finally Rock won the fight/argument. Neither is Rock your average useless male main character, nor is Revy all-powerful. She doesn't know some things, is almost useless when violence doesn't help, she is physically weaker than Rock, who only was office worker (but she probably has more endurance and certainly better reflexes), and while she started out with guns blazing, she resorted to throwing that bottle with chopsticks down and even child like arguments like "you are the bigger idiot" (so at this point she basically accepted that she is an idiot..). |
| LOL! Rock was the one getting shy at those girls watching porn.. definitely my favorite episode.. Rock finally grew some balls.. look at that scene when they shared a light... none of them were blushing and they didn't even touched each other's skin.. but that was romantic as fuck. |
 |
| Tat last part tho... sexy as hell. |
| Rock finally stood up for himself, lots of Revy drama, and badass nuns. great episode. |
| Rock has the balls to stand up to Revy. Porn editing. Lol. |
 |
| This was one of the best episodes i've seen in any anime. I really loved the background we got on both Rock and Revi and I loved how Rock is finally showing some balls. |
| I give Rock points for avoiding Revy's bullet and talking to her until she cries |

| The first half was pretty funny, but that second half...all i can say is WOW! It was just so well done. I got so much more respect for Rock now. He stood up for himself and told Revy off. I'm glad she snapped out of that mood she had been in for several episodes. Very nice ending too in the police car. |
| Yeah, yeah, Rock is showing a bit of promise, but Revy is right about him being the biggest idiot. I still don't like him. I wonder why Revy got so upset at the sub incident. maybe he made her feel guilty... |
| Love and Peace!!! |
| i couldn't stop laughing at revy's expressions when they met the Russian lady uhh "editing" some... movie.... really aired some laundry out... you gotta love revy, she can only kill and steal. nice and simple. never thought cigarette lighting could be so romantic. rock's right though, if revy didn't take him from the boat that day... his life would have been rat race hell again. i'd like to see them do a drinking contest again ;) |

| This episode was the best so far. The emotions were flying this episode, with the ending of Revy and Rock finally burying the hatchet. |

| Holy shet that change there. Best episode yet. Weirdest kissing scene ever: "Light my cig with that light in your mouth" |
~my list
Kittenia said: that was sexy, love this <3 Yes, it was. so hot. that fight and then that kiss .. wow. |
| Another great episode, absolutely delighted to see Rock stand up to Revy like that and pretty much prove that he isn't just your typical weak male MC who gets pushed around all the time, if it wasn't already clear anyway. |
| Rock mans up when he needs to :D |

| I must be one of the few who didnt like it that much. I agree though that the drama and character development are good and are also really good for the show. But I just cant see how Rock was able to stop revy like that, especially when she had just shown us how she could kill dozens of soldiers in the blink of an eye. I take comfort in thinking that she was too moved to be able to kill a rabbit like Rock. |
OMG I JUST SQUEAL AT THIS MOMENT <3 |
