When Hao gets those off road interference, he tries to be nice about it and gives them a soft verbal let me through please before he would just assault them out of the way.
The fights and moves are far good just like it was in Season 1, with more martial arts, guns, and assault rifles. While skinny and not having muscular arms, I like the part MC uses an arm choke to finish into an elbow knockout. (Anime should learn from this. Regular fights by people would still be using the chokehold to keep punching in the face that we should see more chokes used in fights and not just as a power flex from macho stereotypes.)
There were way less focus on the women this season unless they must be there which is great. Focusing back to the guys, the cool characters, in the show is the right decision.
The one last guy Peng from the team who was kicked out for insubordination makes it back.
Peng never dumped the mission as previously thought, Darrick got to him first in torture pain when he went off on his own.
Crazy a single failed mission costs losing the goal, glory, and team. When Peng know what happened to the mission afterwards, he haunted by it even as he brings on the gangsters and prostitutes.
Puppet sniper cyborg with the hoodie who I will not name is someone they know. Even if that clearly separates him from an enemy, I like how scummy the enemy Darrick turned the puppet guy into his puppet! Blocked the only human thing left of him to be a blackmail puppet. Good character, put in the hotspot as much as Peng and Darrick, our unmasculinized star villain.
This season is revenge phase, The Bureau/Hao vs. Darrick. Revenge on each other, crashing each other's bash. Darrick set up his masked terrorist army nicely. The enemy virus plot is establishing a cool ambitious story.
Next season, I'll like to see we get an expansion on the true face of the superpowers and who's the mystery force behind Darrick. Sign for Season 3!
