The Episode Review
This episode can be summed up as…ACTION-PACKED!
The most extended episode in the season lives up to its billing. It is the ideal setting for the season’s follow-up show, Tokyo Vice, to thrill its audiences with a taut storyline containing numerous episodes.
From action sequences to Japanese altruism and significant plot reveals, the show bid farewell to Kume, a character reluctantly identified as the traitor. Loan shark company Jinpei turned out to be a Yakuza-sponsored operation.
Watch Or Not
This is a watch and a HUGE step up from the last two episodes.
5 out of 5.
