| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The spy sure had lots of toys up her sleeve. |
 |
| Pretty fun episode, not as good as previous ones though. |
| Decent episode. I'd like to know why the girl was standing out there by herself in the beginning though, allowing the opportunity for her to be kidnapped. |

| Awesome! A bunch of VERY nice twists were made to the old 'politician's daughter gets kidnapped' story, and the strategic and face-to-face action pieces were well balanced. And the Mafia lady was intense. Her depth was limited, yet her time was used effectively to instead show how much of a professional she was. Every time she was cornered, the creative attacks she had prepared practically knocked the breath out of me. |
| The chief made yet another amazing plan. kage-bunshin said: just goes to show, if u have a list, check it twice This episode has taught me a great lesson. |
| damn the russian spy has alot of tricks up her sleeve :P it's kinda sad how everyone of her comrades refused to help her, even the embassy just turned her down swiftly. very surprised Major doged the blade in her face. just to show that the Major is prepared in any kind of situation ^^ |
| Damn tricky granny |
 |
| Not a real good episode. Plot could of had been more original. |
 |
| I love this episode. As a stand-alone story it's refreshing. The villain is quite memorable and the action is flashy as always. |
| Hm, it was pretty interesting, but I would prefer the arcs to be more than one episode long. The villains seem to be too easy to catch for section 9. |

| Cool episode... And I salute the Chief! Brilliant plan.. |
| Damn nice episode really nice story concept! |
 |
| That spy was pretty good, but section 9 still is unstoppable. |
 |
| This chief is a badass, that is all. |
 |
| Balalaika from Black Lagoon, anyone? ,3, even though this was created way before Black Lagoon? ,3, |
| It was a fine episode but could have been better. And yet again Aramaki came up with a brilliant plan. Batou's timing was perfect. |

| 5/5 Stake well done, return to the designs of those good times and the plot and intriguing, yet the enemy in turn fails to please me even though I do not understand why he misses an eye! XD Really tough that woman, too bad little hard his presence, Aramaki again MC the situation, narrative full of pathos, no sin is a bit tortured! X°°D |
 |
| Sure an experienced old granny huh? I really empathise with her, being totally forsaken despite her successful career in the underworld. It's sure black down there, huh? |
| "If you reject me, I'll blast a hole in you!" Kanzaki H. Aria Just kidding.  |
| The spy was doubtless a pro. But embassy would hide someone in such hot water. That was a well made plan and a fine manipulation of media. |

| Episode that bring to the fore the prowess of Aramaki, in taking advantage of the situation to kill two birds with one stone. Very well thought out plot, another secondary character really badass, having little escape against section 9! we could take a good lesson, such as: Trust is good, but it is better not to trust. Action, plot twists and excellent animations, there was a close that hurt him the two demon-possessed. Drawings not bad. |

| Human trafficking for organs would net even more money after prosthetics and cyberization becomes popular since organs would be harder to procure in comparison. What a dirty business. I'm glad the dad fessed up. |
| I feel bad for that spy. Abandoned by everyone she knew. Though these episodes make me like Aramaki more. He always thinks of a a fantastic plan despite the situation.

| Decent ep. Not much to say other then I miss the tachikoma :( |
 |
| One thing I have an issue is when Batou shot Cruzkowa (the female eye-patched Russian cyborg spy) as she was running *away* from him, that actually broke a protocol when apprehending a suspect that didn't pose a direct threat to him. Overall, I like this episode. |

Overall, I like this episode. Section 9 isn't bound by any such protocol, they aren't run of the mill police officers. They often kill people who aren't posing an imminent threat to them, hell sometimes they just plain assassinate people. |

| The Mayor is just too overpowered, nobody stands a chance ^^ |
| Great plan. Oh and personal life over politics :) |
| Nice episode, no crazy twist this time. It felt a little odd to me that the Northern Territory mafia comrades that betrayed her would use such a convoluted way to get rid of her - and this method actually harms them, since they're messing with the daughter of one of their most powerful political supporters. That actually makes no sense. There are several other ways to betray her that won't result in such a clusterfuck, I'm sure. |
FireCrauter said: did not show how the girls kidnapped I also noticed the other girls were still in the back of the trailer LOL. It didn't show them getting rescued. |
 Three things cannot be long hidden.. ...the s u n, the m oo n, and the tr u th. |
| One of the less interesting episodes, but the way things were concluded was still pretty neat. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Batou's stomp on that guy's arm was pretty brutal. |
 |
| How does the russian spy manage to have so many weapons inside her lol |
 |
| More of just an alright-episode imo, still solid though of course. What I'm really excited for though is the remaining episodes, all of which have 4.8 and 4.9 episode ratings. We're going to be finishing off strong. |
