Another great episode. Satoshi was again extremely entertaining. I'm just wondering how it's going to end.

Very good episode with fantastic background art once again. It's getting extremely interesting and the development of Satoshi "Beat" Kitano is great too. Too bad he wasn't introduced and developped before, it's a bit late now.

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

Looks like Michiko captured Herbie. Only Herbie could withstand direct hits into the engine.
Really good episode btw. I'm glad the good animation is back again.

I guess they skimped on the animation last week to bring us this awesomeness? Fantastic episode, I'd have to say the best so far.

Did you guys all watch the episode together or something? 3 replies in 1 minute, lol.

Damn, for a minute I thought you guys were in Kuwait with Rebella. Guess it's just Germany. That does explain the frequent double postings you guys have.

In any case, my death will not be in vain! People will know!

lol I think it's because we watched the episode as soon as it was uploaded in a certain website.
This show is underrated -_-
I hope Hiroshi is as good as they say.

Satoshi was kind of badass this episode o.0 and by I kind of I mean super...The art is back but still lacking in places Glad to see the improvement from ep 19's madness.

btw Michiko I'm pretty sure it would have been easier going off road for a few seconds than forcing your way through a blockade made up of a line of cop cars >.> seriously must have been that hit to the head...

about the animation Michiko to Hatchin isn't the only anime that the animation changed and got back the usual the following week. I wonder what is it?
Anyway the characters in that anime defined the word "BADASS" lol

but don't die on me, Michiko, cause it doesn't smell like happy ending. I don't like this hopeless atmosphere in few last episodes.

Have the same thoughts as pretty much everyone else. Great episode and why didn't Michiko drive around the 5 or 6 cars that were all crammed together? Last couple of episodes make me disappointed in the fact that there were random filler episodes in the middle considering its only 22 eps in total anyway. Ah well, I'm hovering at around a 7 right now for the series.

Like a lot of others have said, why did Michiko push through road blockades twice and almost die when she could have gone off-road for a minute or two? Did the shoulders have like ditches or something?

the scene with satoshi drowning that dude, was pretty eerie for me, his voice actor did a really good job with that. But yeah probably dare I say the best episode so far? Just get the feeling this might be a tad late, wish the plot and everything and stayed like this throughout, I didn't mind some of the filler episodes but a lot were boring and quite frankly didn't have to be there... only now does it start to get actually really good when there's 2 eps left :(

I still tink Satoshi is an asshole :3. Also i guess we are nearing the finale and until now they still havent met Hiroshi yet. I just want to know Hatchin's reaction when she sees what kind of person her father is. Also im guessing Satoshi still doesnt know that Hatchin is Hiroshi's daughter. And i guess its better if he doesnt. Who knows what he might do to her.. especially after what he did to Michiko.

The engine is in the front lolz and they did't start shooting until she was int he middle :p

Another really good episode, I feel conflicted about Satoshi on one hand he keeps his promises and on the other he ruthlessly kills people including past friends :/

. . . Why would she burst right through the center of the barricade? Why not just go around? I'm guessing driving on dirt for 10 seconds would be a lot easier than ramming 3-4 cars out of the way.

"It's not the same as the information we received." I wonder if the cop meant info from a report by his fellow cops or if someone else tipped them off. I wonder if Hiroshi's purposely leading Michiko to get caught (if it was him who tipped off the cops).

Well, I wondered in a past episode discussion how they're going to finish the whole Satoshi/Shinsuke thing. The way they did didn't disappoint.

seems that I've noticed that even this merciless person like Satoshi has some kind parts in his heart, Michiko without doubt was a super badass in this episode! She was totally in "they won't gonna get her" mood!

Satoshi and Shinsuke are just as despicable as the rest of the gangsters, but these past few episodes made them much more complex than they would have been, which is pretty cool.

So Michiko and Satoshi both see Hiroshi in the same, idealized way. And it's only Hatchin who actually knows they're both wrong, even though she's never met Hiroshi.

Michiko is unstoppable. Holy crap.

It's not so much fun when your "torture" method is used on you, isn't that right Shinsuke?

Damn Satoshi is almost immortal
Nvm, Michiko is the immortal one xD
