Violence and gore was expected yeah, but I ain't expect a whole ass sex scene bruh LOL. Ey, I'll take it though ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Backstory was about what I had expected, very, very, VERY gorey. Young Fro wasn't playing, that's for sure. Aside from RIP homegirl, just one thing I have to say, HOW THE FUCK THEM KIDS NOT LIKE LEMONADE???? WHAT???

This was a better episode with more dialogue and backstory.

I took a lot of notes.

Akira bear reference?
Andre the Giant lantern posse

Why do anime people always carry around loved one's heads?

I love the flip pfones!

Ninja Ninja was hilarious when he was swinging from that pillar and talking about sex

The scene where Afro killed the guy in the brothel and then puked after was legit. He chose a certain road and has to deal with his choice. I agree with the dojo master.

The lemonade scene was the best, so sweet and touching.

The scene with the kids fighting was well done and showed how they could use trickery and cunning to get by.
I felt bad for the little girl with the bear.

Okiku was that girl I guess. They were hinting at it, but they didn't explain why or anything. That was sort of weird. She was a traitor of course, and I wanted to know more about her.

Depictions of women are, so far, kind of not great.
For example, Okiku dies as a "woman in the refrigerator" with blood running down her breast. What does that blood even represent in this instance? The inverse of sex and death, pleasure and pain?
Everyone seems to die in his wake, so it's not as weird as it seems at first glance.

What a great follow-up! I asked for some more depth in my review of the premiere and that's just what I got.

It was cool getting to see Afro's backstory; how he met his friends and teacher, what got him to his first physical confrontation and kill, where the lemonade thing came from (I'm still not clear on if it is actual lemonade or something else).

I also enjoyed the love story bit, although I'm disappointed that Otsuru had to die right after having sex with Afro. For anyone who doesn't know, that's a tired trope in which female characters who dare engage in sexual relations face almost immediate (usually life-ending) repercussions. The fact that she was called a whore as it happened didn't help. What's more, on the technical aspect of things, I will say I wasn't a fan of the musical choice during the getting it on scene; it felt a little corny and almost porny.

Oh, and a really cool moment I loved was when the assassin was spying on Afro as he was meditating, thinking he was all sleek and stuff, only for the myth, the legend to appear behind him and wreck his ass.
