About the second episode

The second episode of "Defense Mission" is better than the first episode, the sense of absurdity is gone, the killing scenes are a lot harder, and the style of walking is still not neat and handsome, but solid, one-on-one, the only thing I doubt is Keigo doesn't seem to be broken if he falls. Sometimes in close combat, Keigo's head seems blunt and his body is swaying, but it is more in line with the protagonist's temperament.

The second episode is also more three-dimensional, not only the protagonist, but also the constructed killer world is quite rich: the place where the token is used is more complicated, the killer's gun and clothes have their own way, and the hotel where he lives is behind the scenes of a killer. Huge black hand. There is even a beggar-like organization. All of the above are a bit like the gold spy, except that everything about the gold spy is designed too delicately, and the defense mission is relatively rough; roughness is not a disadvantage, but it is closer to reality.

At the end, he puts himself in a full-blown crisis, presumably for the sake of the third episode. Before that, his revenge and comeback had their own reasons, but the first two episodes have almost exhausted the emotional line. I only hope that the third episode has something else in addition to the pursuit of more powerful killing scenes. Support this God of Killing, otherwise it would be a pity to kill for the sake of killing and God for God's sake.
