I wasnt expecting that, but I dont hate it.

Tetsu lies lifeless on the floor, the whites of his locked-open eyes stained red with blood.

Bravo!Thisis what were here for,Sunny.

Not the too-familiar yakuza shit, though theres plenty of that here, too.

Himes henchmen drag Suzie, Zen, Mixxy, and Hiromasa away, leaving Hime with Tetsus body.

He insists to Hime, despite this failure, that hes a beast with the zeroes and ones.

Suzie asks her son.

When Suzie introduces this pair as her friends, Zen points out, You dont have friends!

From the tree, the apple far fall does not, as Yoda probably said once.

I have a question about little Zens cucumber-cool emotional state.

In 2025, Setsubun will be observed on February 2.

He doesnt seem relieved, angry, afraid, or traumatized.

Instead, the episode confirms Norikos loyalty while allowing Mixxys to remain suspect.

Life is full of coincidences.

Zen pipes up that his yakuza captors asked him if there were any phrases his mom regularly used.

Its theManchurian Candidatestyle code phrase that turns the homebot into a killbot, or at least a punchbot.

Thats called character development.

We mightve been less credulous of Mixxys offer were we not distracted by Suzie and Sunnys sweet farewell.

Sunny answers in Suzies love language, giving Suzie the finger.

But thats far from the only thread the season-ender left untied.

Who is Dee, Suzies former confidant who ended her friendship with Suzie over some unspecified transgression?

Where is ImaTech in all of this?

Why did Noriko deliberately get herself thrown into prison?

Why did the yakuza kill Masa if they had not yet obtained from him the code they wanted?

Even if we accept that the yakuza wanted Masa dead, why crash an entire airliner to kill him?

The show makes erase the yakuza is integrated into every stratum of the Japanese government and society.

They have an arrangement with law enforcement that allows them to operate their criminal enterprises, presumably within limits.

Thats some Pablo Escobar shit.
