And chocolate saves the world...not surprising tbh.
Some amazing direction in this ep; reminded me of Shinchiro watanabe's work in cowboy bebop

Very good English voice work for the Irish bomb-maker. This was my favorite episode so far. Well directed enough that by the end, it felt like an entire arcs worth of story and character development compressed into one episode.

Also the food in this show looks good. I'm not even that fond of chocolate or sweets, and I still want some now

yea, amazing ep is amazing. Agreed with the voice-overs, some of the dub is really good, but some parts are so-so. Even so, I think this is among the better dubs I've seen so far, especially because, this being an anime taking place all over the world, the dub captures accents very well most of the times; something the Jap version cannot do.

Pretty much yeah. Even when the acting itself isn't so good, it adds a unique twist: in-character, they're speaking to Keaton with bad English. Like that daughter at the Chinese restaurant, had a classic voice

Naoki Urasawa Seems like a very knowledgeable person about all kinds of things. The same goes for Mr. Keaton.

it's hard to believe that a terrorist/bomb maker of his level would do a 180 turn this sudden.. i would be so disgusted being around such a monster, tho of course not surprised Keaton kept his cool
see you, space cowperson . . .

Yeah the pilot episode of MacGyver had the same trick, stopping a sulfuric acid leak with chocolate. It has also been tested in Mythbusters, and apparently it works.

I suppose the detonator is supposed to have exploded in Connelly's pocket when he hit the ground after tackling that kid but there probably should have been something there to convey this like a split-second shot of his chest hitting the ground with a sharp popping sound.
