Eda demanding Revy’s friendship will never not be cute

Makes me wonder how much of it is an act from Edith Blackwater and how deep undercover she is. Considering her real personality is quite the opposite from Eda’s. Maybe she lost herself in the act. Revy’s attitude probably remind her from the shenanigans Amber Whinberry got her involved in her early days as an agent.

She points out that Revy is quite intelligent for someone with no education, the gunwoman has no idea she’s a Harvard graduate and a diplomat for the US, legally untouchable in the vast majority of countries as stated by Ruggies. Her request makes no sense, Eda was called Calamity Jane, offered to join SAS forces and is also a cop killer, she can take care of herself just fine. Funny how the translate changes in the OG version.

This could’ve been the moment she was planning to turn Revy into her C.I… or whatever else the La-gooners have in mind.

In the manga Revy does kill the entire crew

The anime really tones the story down sometimes. Dutch didn’t get to Revy just in time like in the anime. It really highlights how deranged she can be.

My memory is gone

I’m literally at loss of words. I think of something and I just can’t grasp it. It’s like going to a grocery store and forgetting what you were gonna buy. It sucks. It’s helping with depression and anxiety, but I don’t know if it’s worth this much.

How do you think the Lagoon Crew was formed?

And how did they come up with this name? In the nazi arc, Dutch says Revy always gets Whitman fever when they get someone new on board, meaning the OG crew is him and Revy and that there might’ve been someone who either bailed, died or she killed before Benny joined them, who was saved by her in Florida from the mafia and the FBI.

She got the fever back then, too. I’m rereading and rewatching Black Lagoon and there’s so much wasted potential and unexplored plots, man… Megumi would be jealous. Roberta got her whole ass arc and we are left wondering about our main protagonists. Rereading the manga and rewatching the anime, I noticed the anime stretches Revy’s backstory a bit, alluding to her past and it emphasizes Rock being soft, a moralist and not being part of the underworld. Trying to make sure the viewer knows that Rock has second thoughts about his new life path. I wonder if this was a choice from the director or a term Hiroe had to agree before they made the anime.

The Viz translation is wild

Crazy how there are two version of the same manga and how different they are. The one translated after the Japanese version is way more composed.
