It’s Baremoto’s turn now, and by god is it an awesome episode. The episode may have started a bit slow, in which Baremoto slowly showed Suppon his family, but as the episode revealed more and more about what was really going on, the episode only got better and better. I also loved the background song that the creators used at the end of the episode. Talk about epic.
I’ve said this plenty of times by now, but I really like what the creators are doing here. You can really see how the characters are trying to continue their lives, but with their background and within this setting… they are bound to run into problems, for which they have their own behavior to blame. Mario had his violence problems, Joe was the one exception because his goal was stronger than any other. Cabbage had his innocence, and now Baremoto is about to throw away his entire future because of a prostitute he fell in love with.
Heitai. He really stole the show again at the end of this episode. I really hope that he and Suppon will get their own arcs as well. Both of them have been pretty much the most stable members of the cast, and key side characters throughout the entire series, but it will be awesome if they could step into the spotlights so that we can see them shine on their own.
Rating: *** (Awesome)
Agreed! This was a really strong episode for me too. It shows a side that’s rather common in guys, who do typically get blinded by love and end up forsaking a lot and eventually end up regretting it.
Baremoto’s decisions are going to lead him on a path of ruin, and its kind of interesting how both the viewers and his friends look and shudder at what’s happening, powerless to stop it.
I agree, I would really love a Hetai or Suppon arc, more so for Hetai because he’s honestly the character that we know the least about. We don’t even know much about his past either, so he’s perhaps the only character that’s had little attention given to him.
