A double episode on Sunday is simply merciless, given the present schedule.
Critically, can something be extra Japanese than a man strolling right into a home, pointing a gun at you, and saying, “Somebody walked into your own home with out taking their sneakers off. Can’t you be much more shocked?” However then once more, it is a nation the place burglars take off their sneakers out of politeness. Which is type of a aspect word, as a result of this was the episode the place all of the lies everybody on the forged has been residing actually began to boil over, like that nabe on Youko’s range is about to do.
There’s quite a bit happening right here, beginning with Utsubu making his transfer on his rooster, Kainuma. It’s truly fairly easy. He’s embellished what Kainuma did to Misaki—though it didn’t want that a lot embellishment. They pose as huge pictures from an company that desires to revive Misaki’s profession and extort Kainuma’s mom for ¥60 million. That’s some huge cash, however I assume you goal somebody like that as a result of the household has it. The plan, as common, is to take out the rooster subsequent, however Kainuma goes utterly nuts and that complicates issues a bit.
Akira has just about received Hina over by now. The factor is, his recommendation is fairly good and he or she’s proper about his sincerity: he is a really honest mass assassin. A giant battle between Hina and Utsubu appears imminent, particularly since Isaki has spoken the cope with Misaki and Kainuma inside her earshot. Suzuki, who has been despatched to spy on Kainuma, experiences that he has determined to kill her at work the subsequent day as revenge. Utsubo is okay with that, because it makes the disappearing Kainuma quite a bit much less suspicious. However Hina calls Misaki at Octopus and warns her to go away, since her life is in peril.
Akira’s facade is clearly exhibiting cracks. He has no selection however to save lots of Misaki when Kainuma pulls a knife on her, however within the meantime the supervisor sees how formidable his supply man is. The supervisor’s guess is in fact incorrect, nevertheless it’s truly quite a bit nearer than it might have been. And Akira is prepared to associate with it. And regardless of the whole lot Kainuma has finished, Akira nonetheless intends to get him again from Utsubo. He confronts Suzuki and is as soon as once more compelled to kind of blow his cowl. Suzuki isn’t any idiot and has a reasonably good concept that Satou will not be who he appeared. He guarantees Suzuki a commotion he can’t think about if he doesn’t get Kainuma again inside 24 hours.
At this level, chaos breaks out on nearly all fronts. Kainuma has managed to flee from Isaki within the mountains, and Suzuki has gone to Satou’s home to power the difficulty (ignoring the truth that it’s owned by the Maguro Group). It’s Youko he finds there as a substitute of Akira, however he nonetheless has much more on his plate than he bargained for. Youko, being the soldier that she is, by no means stops having enjoyable. She even tries to handicap Suzuki earlier than unleashing the canines of struggle on him. Suzuki could also be proper that Youko isn’t a assassin, however she doesn’t need to kill him to subdue (and humiliate) him.
As for Kainuma, Karma is a bitch to him. If he had stayed, Akira might have introduced him again to face the police. However he tries to get away and falls off a cliff, a lot to Isaki’s dismay. Akira doesn’t kill Suzuki and even injure him. He cuts his ropes and tells him he’s free to go, and when Suzuki comes again (this time together with his sneakers off) and asks why, he even invitations him to remain for nabe. Suzuki is who he’s, so it is a arduous blow to his satisfaction – getting beat up by a lady was unhealthy sufficient. Youko is true to be frightened, however give Akira what he deserves – he’s actually attempting to maintain the deal he made when he got here to Osaka.
Like final week, I discovered Akira to be relatively poignant right here. He by no means reveals us what he’s actually feeling—if he’s feeling something in any respect. However he does appear fairly upset that Kainuma is useless. Kainuma is a horrible asshole, who deliberate to rape Misaki (though I nonetheless suspect he would have gone utterly loopy and never finished it) after which stabbed her as revenge for her getting caught. However Akira complains about how a lot he doesn’t need anybody round him to die. Not even Kainuma. Is he actually uninterested in being surrounded by demise? I actually assume Supervisor’s conclusion is nearer to the reality than it first seems.
Regardless of the knowledge of Akira’s determination to let Suzuki go, there’ll clearly be penalties. Suzuki desires revenge for crushing his satisfaction. And so does Utsubo, as a result of because it seems, the person within the automobile with Hina whose throat Fable slit was his youthful brother. Suzuki is skeptical of Utsubo’s willpower to tackle Fable, however he appears content material with that motivation. And Utsubo has been planning this second for a very long time—his complete motivation for dragging Hina away (and killing her mother and father) was to get Fable. And now he’s very happy to make use of her as bait, realizing that Satou-kun appears to have emotions for her.
Satou managed to get out of the Kojima affair with out breaking any of his guidelines, because of Ebihara doing his soiled work (and the zaku was weak sufficient). However with the competent Suzuki and the ever-cunning Utsubo coming at him with grenades and mines, it is arduous to see how he can do this right here. At this level, I consider Akira’s want to maintain his promise and dwell a quiet life is real, and I am not even positive that can change as soon as his 12 months is up. However Utsubo and his vendetta are going to place Akira’s evasiveness to their biggest take a look at but.
