The Yellow Heads rue has spread wide open, and so are both Joy and Wong's characterization to help both Ryo and Ren while they fend off Dou Niu and his minions to find Zhu Yuanda in the Yellow Head Building.

Joy using the tactic of her ancient rival gang to counter Dou Niu while Wong finds a way through to surprisingly find Zhu Yuanda and fend Yuan off. Both Ryo and Ren have to face Lu Zhang, and this is where the 4 Wude is used to great effect (but sadly not that much) to save Joy.

The final face-off between Ryo and Lan Di, it all culminates in next week's finale.

Honestly, Yuan get away too easily without being truly punched when in less than 15 minutes, threatened Ryo with a chainsaw and a knife.

The totality of Wu was applied.

I think that Lan Di was just hanging on the stairs with belief that Ryo would appear, and he would get those style points.

I like the extra stuff for Wong and Joy.

Yuan with the Chainsaw and the wood plank walking. (Bad memories xD)

Shame about Master Baih, he should have gotten back up.......

The showdown is here!

Ryo and Ren are completely in sync, they're too compatible! Ryo's straight forward personality meets Ren's wild street style.
I'm wondering if Lan Di is really Xiuying's brother, I'll have to wait for the next episode.
Talking about the next episode, can't believe it's a final one already! I heard Shenmue is planned to be a very long journey and even 3 games can't reach the half point. I hope I reach the every end of the destination, no matter what media form it takes...

Amazing episode, one of the best in my opinion.
I also like all the participation of Joy, Wong, and even Yuanda Zhu knows to fight now, ha ha. Yes, fight with Baihu is short compared to the games, but the part with all wudes was great and show all the progression in Ryo.

Looks like that the anime wouldn't cover all the last disc of Shenmue 2 in next episode, I see it as a good decision, instead of rush this, well done. Besides, even if the anime is a awesome adaptation, games deserves to be played entirely. Even with the same story, anime and games bring out different things and aspects.

And what a cliffhanger, OST was very good too, waiting the next episode!

A great episode, it's been a really entertaining episode.
It was good that they added screentime for Joy and Wong,
even though their plan was reckless and failed a bit.

Tthe combination of comedy and action reminded me Jacky Chan movies
The thing with the elevator and the trash was just hilarious.
Great buddy action with Ren and Ryou throughout the whole episode.

Typical Kung Fu movie climax on the roof.

How do they intend to get the wheelchair in the helicopter with a rope ladder?

so they are going to end this in a cliffhanger, i doubt we'll ever see a s2 since this show has a very low budget...

In a way respect to the goon for cycling all the way, I would've just given up all together in chasing Joy on her motorcycle. I also got the feeling the white faced streetperformer looking guy is someone more important to the story (perhaps Xiuying's brother).
