| Lol'd at Revy falling for the shoelace trick. It's so old XD Also, glad that we're finally done with that man-maid Roberta. She gets on my damn last nerves with her outfit and personal vendetta against Revy (why not anyone else from the Black Lagoon crew?). |
 |
| Lol, can't believe Revy fell for that. Plus Rock trying to stop the fight was hilarious. |
| The reunion of Roberta and Garcia was pretty moving, in my opinion. In all his childish innocence, Garcia refuses to see the murderous and destructive side of his beloved maid. Aside from that, the episode had some interesting bits of character development of Revy, Roberta and Balalaika. I always wondered how Balalaika got her scars... |
| Well that was a great fight. Also a little background on the russian woman was interesting. Looking forward to next episode. |

marchefka said: The whole dramatic paranoia ("Waka-sama!" "Roberta!" "Waka-sama!") was completely unnecessary. I couldn't help thinking: "God, just like a fucking soap opera!" And the maid motif is so worn out, they could've thought of something more original. /Agree. I'm just glad this arc is over, hopefully the next one will be more interesting. |

| LOL at Rock for trying to stop the Revy vs Roberta fight. |
| Armageddon was yesterday, today we have a problem. |
| Funny episode.Nice lines as always... I like Balalaika a lot. |
| Fuck you Garcia it was a tie, they both fell at the same time. |

| Roberta wasn't knocked out, but she wasn't "standing" either. Also, my biggest gripe was the inconsistency in universe. Roberta may be superhuman strong and whatever, but once you gave someone some attribute, power, trick, whatever, stand for it Fact 1: Rock, a regular guy with an office job, proofed several times that he is stronger than Revy, when he dragged her out of the bar etc., and that fight with the cig-kiss afterwards). Fact 2: Roberta can pull Dutch, a quite heavy and muscled guy out of a driving car with one hand while driving herself. Fact 3: Revy and Roberta are nearly evenly matched (Roberta had the first hit, and Revy got a concussion only a few hours (?) before, so Roberta even had an advantage) in a fist fight. How does that work out? It's like Rock (no pun intended), Paper, Scissors. |

Samu-tan said: Roberta mai waifu. |
| This was one of the best episodes yet on the show. So fucking awesome even if it's so oldschool. All of the Bitches in the show were scary but i liked them all despite of their tremendous aura. |
| That gunfight scene was possibly the least believable thing I've ever seen in an anime that doesn't involve magic or super powers. It starts in an open area with 2 people pointing guns at each other, then somehow every shot misses (or they dodge every shot). You don't just fucking dodge guns in an open area! The fight should have ended after the first shot, yet they have matrix powers or some shit... Then finally they end up spinning around on the floor next to each other? LOL the whole thing was just cringeworthy. I thought Revy was supposed to be some amazing pro at shooting? The maid dodges faster than the speed of a bullet? Revy can't aim? These aren't sword, these are GUNS. For how many guns are in this show.. you'd think they'd be at least a tiny bit believable. Have the creators ever seen a standoff before? I can't properly translate my thoughts on this into words right now.. but it was just too silly for me. |

I can't properly translate my thoughts on this into words right now.. but it was just too silly for me. Rule number 1: Never question anime logic. Things never make sense ever, but I get how they should make some sort of sense. I guess if you want to make sense of things we can assume Revy just pretends to be weak or holds back when she is with friends but in a serious fight she goes all out. And gun fights in any show always suck, no one on TV knows how to shoot. |
| Haha. Revy. |
| Roberta looks better without glasses. |

| THAT UPPERCUT. I can't believe Revy fell for that D: |

| I thought this would continue some better way, but it still was great. |

traed said: I laughed that Revy fell for the untied shoelace bit XD Yeah I was like; "Surely ... she wont fall for th ... oh she fell for it" Episode was cool with the little backstory on Roberta. |
 |
| They tied?!?! No no no, like Revy said there must be a WINNER!!! |
 |
| I cannot believe Revy fell for that. Roberta on the other hand is insane (in a good way) |
 |
| A draw? That was kinda unstatisfying. |
| ROFL a brawl, and the kid enjoys it. He's gonna be one messed up pimp later. Good episode 4/5 |
| Kinda disappointed with the ending, was hoping Roberta would be killed just to keep with the over-the-top drama we've been used to. Instead everyone is happy go lucky in the end, which was pretty cheesy. |
| Great fight..................... |
| Hah! Glad I'm not the only one that dislikes Roberta and this episode. I've watched Black Lagoon season 1 and 2 so many times I've lost count, but these last couple of episodes never get any easier to watch, and they're my absolute least favorites. Besides somehow seeming to overpower a massive guy like Dutch, she drives a car off a 2+ story building, wrecks violently, and walks away from it. Then she's slammed into a cargo container so hard that she gets stuck in the indentation she leaves but, once again, just walks away from it. And Revy, who's supposed to be a sharp shooting badass, can't hit a target running parallel to her 5 feet away, or one running straight at her. Then she loses a fistfight, of course. I can at least rationalize Revy's sudden aiming issues as the result of her concussion, but Roberta's ridiculous invincibility was just too much. |

| MORTAL KOMBAT!!!!! By the way, How does someone fall for the oldest trick in the book? |
ONWARDS! Away from homework and on to more anime!!! |
| Roberta won that fight because she made Revy unconscious and she is beautiful without glasses. 3.5/5 |
 |
| Whoah, for once I agree with Revy, this ending made me cringe sooo hard. I feel like killing something to wash the taste off my mouth. |
  |
| revy lost fight pretty badly |
 |
| Liked the episode solely for the fact Revy got beaten up. |
| episode was ok to me, felt a little slower. bored with the little boy & roberta, wished for less of that. fun and funny to see the two girls duking it out at the end, cool gun fight too, though I don't know why they stopped shooting just before the commander chick showed up |
 |
| Only the end with Balaleika flashback was good. I loved how all the characters have a cruel past, except the protagonist. I hated the script of this maid. So booooooooooooooooooooooooring and cliche. |
 |
| I was relieved that she didn't die, it would have been a big loss if she died Yokataaa. |
| Pretty damn great ending to this little arc, looking forwards to see what the two last episodes will have to offer! |
 |
| What a slugfest xD |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Terrible arc, glad it's over. I can see why I didn't bother checking out the "Roberta's Blood Trail" ova series, can't stand how bs her character is. |
 |
| Damn, those two girls were really strong but I guess they are on par? It's just Roberta use more weapons besides Revy. The fist fight scene was really awesome! And I'm intrigued to see more of Balalaika |

| This was a decent conclusion to this arc. I like happy endings, so this worked out well. I wonder if we'll see Roberta again, she's pretty cool. |
