Nice episode so far.

One question though...Did Ban use his eye technique on the old man?

Wow, kinda a sad episode. Poor old man's daughter was too mindbroke from the yakuza to leave even when the boys kicked all their asses. Pretty sure Ban used his eye hypnotism at the end to let the old man see his daughter and apologize before he died.

I didn't feel sorry for Rika at first but given the revelation but those yakuza members...I guess I do now. The ending was nice as I also thought Ban helped out the old man before he passed away peacefully.

Sad episode, and technically they didn't actually retrieve Rika as she refused to go but it shows that the Getbackers truly care about helping their clients.

Damn, I can't say that I blame Rika for hating her father.
At least Ban made her father see a illusion of her in the end.

A sad episode especially for the old man, his daughter didn't want to see him even if it was all plan of the Yakuza boss (take down his company & daughter) her father didn't try to take her back. Plus, she was so mind-broken for the whole ordeal that her former self was nowhere to be found.

Ban used his special ability to make put the old man at ease making him express his regret before departing the land of the living/to make him rest in peace before he passes away by making an illusion that his daughter before he dies. Such a sad episode…
