| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- It's been a while since Saeko had this much screen time, and this episode was pretty good. She had a partner and she loved him, but it was unrequited love and they went their separate ways. Years later he appears again seeking to avenge his family, and like Ryou said, also looking for a place to die. Saeko doesn't even have time to assimilate this or to get to know about his condition, and she already has to bury him. This was poignant, and compelling. Ryou was pretty cool when he called her to go and get those criminals though, I can't remember the last time he was this cool, or if he ever was. I also loved how Saeko didn't just kill the guy. She could've killed him and most certainly nothing would happen to her, but she did the right thing in the end. Killing him would only free him, and dirtying her hands with blood wouldn't bring her former partner back, so it was right of her to leave him to rot in prison. Let's just hope that he won't be released again for "lack of evidence." Now, Kaori's hate towards Saeko feels petty. Sure, she made Ryou work for free, and there are times she keeps some information to herself, but she also used her position within the police to help him with many cases; she is clearly an ally not an enemy. The voodoo doll was weird though, it was funny and unsettling at the same time. The scene with the movie was pretty funny though. |

| Well Kaori, I mean you can't blame Saeko if what you're doing at the entire shooting scene is watching action movie with very loud.. speakers xD Tragic end for Asakura, he lost his entire family then his life to the same criminal.. well his brother still it count as one He was a pretty cool guy Saeko hit the main bad guy wielding machine gun and the helicopter crashed? I feel like there's no pilot in that heli in the first place :P Reminds me if I see Saeko in real life, kindly tell me to run as fast as possible xD |
"Signature removed"   |
| I liked this episode, not necessarily for the execution, but simply for Saeko and that she got to share a bittersweet moment with Ryo at the end. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
