Kita ze Inbou! - キタぜ陰謀!

[ Episode 20: Softly Dreaming, Never Drunk...(Part 2) ]

This was a pretty sad episode…=(

This was one very emotional arc. I never expected to be shedding tears at the end of this episode. I just knew that Huang didn’t have it in him to kill Shioko but it surprised me when he asked Hei to kill them both. Luckily, Hei isn’t the same as he used to be at the beginning of the series so he refused to do so. I also really thought that Huang and Shioko would have been able to get away from the Syndicate and live together somewhere far away but it just wasn’t going to work. I found it so saddening to see her throw away her life so that she could protect Huang from the Syndicate. It just goes to show you once again that Contractors all have feelings and can experience even something as complex as love. I wonder if any of this will carry over into the final episodes for Huang?

I can’t forget about some of the things we learned in this episode. Seems like Amber’s group is collecting Dolls for some reason. We’re not told or hinted as to why though. We also get some insight on Contractors being just like humans with “extra benefits” in the discussion between Hei and Alma.

The next arc seems to feature the return of Wei. Not to mention that some fine naked lady walking around in it too…
