When Revy starts laughing even the battle maid pauses

Revy has both a very narrow yet incredibly vast emotional spectrum. Normally she’s making smart ass jokes, smiling as she slaughters mercs and murderers, angrily threatening to kill some one, calmly watching untold carnage, occasionally really pissed with murder on her face or the worst which is when she goes absolutely emotionless and at any second could kill even Rock.

But when she goes joker mode and laughs like that everyone pauses because they aren’t seeing Revy Two Hands who fought every day to survive. They aren’t seeing Revy seeing the Revy who revels in the carnage and doesn’t care what happens to her or anyone else. That Revy is chaos incarnate. But at the end of the day I love every version of her🥰

Just been reading the Manga, question about rock

So, in the anime, Rock seems to be pretty moral till upto Roberta’s Blood Trail, after which he has this sudden and deep descent into the dark side.

In the manga, it seems like he made his decision at the end of Fujiyama’s Gangsta’s Paradise where he basically decides he will never come back to Japan and is sort of leaving that part of his life behind and even Balalaika says he will become a good villain now that he’s become a bad man.

Comparing this to the anime, the end of FGP seemed to focus on how horribly Rock felt about “failing” Yukio and the comment from Balalaika as well as the scenes reflecting on Rock disconnecting himself from Japan.

Another thing that I noticed in both the anime and Manga, or maybe something that I’m just having trouble understanding, is the end of Fujiyama’s Gangsta’s Paradise.

So, in the anime, Balalaika basically murders everyone from both the washinime clan and the kosa kai. Her final move is basically to make a deal with the kosa kai, then leave Japan behind. Rock makes a request for her to destroy the Washinime clan, and she obliges it happily, murdering the Kosa Kai leadership even though she was not planning to do so. However, apparently everyone from the Washinime clan goes underground because Yukio wants to set up the Yakuza in Roanapur, but not before killing Balalaika to avenge her fallen?
It all feels so confusing.

In the manga, Balalaika says yes to Rock’s request, but instead of destroying the Washinime, she just tells Rock to inform Yukio that her life is guaranteed by Balalaika, which is something Yukio doesn’t accept and still wants to take revenge on the Russians. The whole Roanapur thing doesn’t exist in the manga.

Can someone explain this? Also, why does Balalaika oblige Rock either way? Is it just that she gets the chance to do more carnage, which she has a hard time saying no to?

There’s still hope for a new anime season

Considering how sensitive to demands and criticism Hiroe sensei is - rightfully so - he did like a comment where I suggested a new anime season with the LightNovels being adapted as flashbacks since Shaitane Badi takes place maybe a month or a few weeks before Fujiyama Gangster’s Paradise and Ballad of the Sinful Wizard is after the events of El Baile De La Muerte.

It could work very well as a flashback after Wired Red Wild Card and L’Homme Sombre are adapted, the crew hits the YellowFlag after completing their first mission with Le Majeur and she gets up to speed to what they’ve been doing these last 3 years, being the LNs the main event.

Heck, even Eda’s and Sawyer’s spin off could be adapted. Whether that’s gonna happen in the future we don’t know, but it doesn’t hurt to remind the sensei that we’re out here yearning for it and that he can do it. He didn’t oppose the idea either.

Call me delusional, but I’m full of hopium after he liked my tweet lol. Getting a whole new volume is a good indication that he’s doing a lot better now. Black Lagoon is still very popular Japan and it’s popularity cannot be measured by westerns fans and communities. Black Lagoon gained the spotlight again after being removed from Crunchyroll and is still on the news. The new Black Lagoon plushies already sold out and the collab with the Yellow Flag Annex was a success. There’s an audience for it and it’s not as small as everyone thinks it is. At least in the west. The problems were always the long hiatus.

From his declarations, he finally managed to beat depression and get it under control—he just dropped new doujin and a new BL volume. Let’s hope he keeps it consistent! If he doesn’t, well, the fandom should support him — there are many unfinished mangas like Nana, which has been on hiatus for over a decade — at least he draws at a slow pace and keeps the story alive…. I know a lot of people in the sub are anime only, but give the manga a shot.

We should be glad he’s doing a lot better mentally now. The important thing is that he’s doing well, he’s working, he’s active like any healthy human being. I was honestly shocked he didn’t block me for suggesting a new anime season. Anyway, just some hopium for the sub. I’m excited for volume 14.
