The guy must be rich by now. I doubt he's spending it all on hotel rooms and people to help him analyze his enemies or modify his weapons. Decent episode.

But tbh, I don't fully understand what happened. Judging from the sound, this Polish guy shot Bob, but wasn't he supposed to shoot Ted? After Bob got shot, Golgo shot the hand of the Polish guy and then his head.

I think Golgo took advantage of the Polish sniper's problem in angle (that he analyzed etc...) and made him kill Bob thanks to his shot on his hand. He then killed him, thus shooting only twice and not actually killing Bob, but I'm not 100% sure.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

The other sniper was said to be one of the top 5. Also the shot in the hand happened after the Polish sniper shot Bob, didn't it? This is weird. xD

Golgo Shot made the polish guy change his aim a bit. That made him hit Bob. At least this is my theory. But making the blood on the polish guy apear after Bob gets shot sure confuses the things up a bit.

That's mostly correct. However, I don't think it was so much throwing the aim off as causing him to fire prematurely. The aim was spot on, but he had an ultra-sensitive trigger, and an aiming style that ensured that he'd have Bob in his sights just prior to his actual target. Golgo simply fired so that his gun would discharge while Bob was in the crosshairs.
Specifically, he shot (well, actually grazed) the Polish sniper's trigger finger, causing him to put pressure on the trigger, and thus fire early. A shot that could only occur in this series.

Agreed. That was the whole reason for the angle analyzing for 50,000 bucks.

That's still messed up. It sure looks like that, but the audio doesn't match. Oh well.

I liked it. The whole analyzing thing with the angle and how Golgo threw it off was pretty cool.

Damn... I know Golgo can pull off some impossible shots, but that was totally unrealistic. Oh well, it builds up his legend just that much more.

Actually it matches quite well. You hear two shots and Bob goes down after the second. That matches because the first shot was Golgo 13 hitting the other guys hand and the second was the shot that he made him shoot and kill Bob.

The fact that it shows you the Polish guy after Bob going down doesn't mean that he was shot after that. The director simply decided to show you the events from the old man view. there was no mistake. Crazy shot though that's for sure.

I wonder what happened at the end
Golgo changed the plan? Maybe not
Maybe the old man changed his mind, instead of letting his pupil kill him.. he wants to keep his company
The pupil have changed, not the person he used to be

I thought Golgo won't kill the other sniper, guess not

That's why Golgo went to such lengths to analyze how the Polish guy fires his sniper rifle. I wondered why he would need all that info until the scene in the end.
