Last week’s episode started the show’s second time COUR With its usual fusion of action and comedy, it’s all about action as the battle with serial killers kicks up to the top. Although Sacmato Day Never shy about its action-movie aesthetic, this is a great example of what happens when it tilts, because that’s largely just a focus on moving from one action scene to another. It was a fun moment, but it also made an episode a bit inspiring about the substance.
Starting last time, we will end Shin and Lu’s battle with serial killers. Shin learned how to use his mind reading to start detecting how the saw will move, which is cool, but nothing too unexpected for the standard solution in a Shaoqi fight. Lu’s contribution to the battle is more inspiring as she bails the trouble with her drunken fist, but she doesn’t somehow become a “mafia drunk” rather than a happy drunk or sad drunk, which is with her sudden becoming more domineering and ruthless. Since Lu is usually a stupid character, the contrast here simultaneously manages to be cool and hilarious, and then it’s just as fun to watch Se Save beg Lu not to kill him from the extent of talking about how much he likes to kill. It’s a little offensive to let him escape Shin and Lu kill only one of the members, but the comedy timing of the saw realizes that the person he shares the taxi with before the splash is impeccable, so it’s more or less balanced.
Another big action scene this week will deal with another serial killer dump from the command. The battle takes place in Osaragi’s local shrine, and praying that she will have a chance to kill one of the killers is a good thing, and Osaragi “demonstrates” how to pray by slapping the skull of the dumpster to the shrine on the table of the sacrifice, like a swap that could have been torn from the action block. Sadly, the actual battle is not as memorable as that kind of violence, but it is consistent enough that it mainly serves its purpose. There isn’t much happening in both characters, either, as Osaragi is portrayed as a little dispersed when she’s largely portrayed as anything but her work as an assassin, while Dump’s Mo is the expression of her finding people the most beautiful before they die, killing love. This episode does play Dump’s obsession with her love brand because she doesn’t know much about why the world wants to punish her for it, but there’s not much compassion there and the motivation isn’t that funny, so the attempts of these dramas are a little flat for me. I got at least more responses from Osaragi’s response to this, because she accepted that killers like two people shouldn’t exist and could only like people like dumps, because it’s time to keep their task to check their sense of purpose. This is not the deepest representation, but it works for an action series as simple as this one. Seeing Osaragi tell Dump that she loves her and then sawing her through is probably the biggest metal thing in the show so far.
Nothing else happened here except action. We do see that the alliance between the serial killer and the Slur group is not very tight, and cutting Kashima into thin slices would be a shocking twist, if not because of Kashima’s greater shock that survived. In fact, he was able to not only survive, but even had a full conversation with Slur, while most of his body parts were spread all over the floor and spanned the series’ enhanced cartoon reality. There is also a threat to follow the killer of AOI, but we have to wait until next week to see how it is shocked. As an action-centric plot, there isn’t much discussion here, but since it’s part of the show’s bread and butter, it’s just a sign that it’s still going well and I hope the series will keep that level as we’ll get deeper into this arc.
