Black Lagoon: Episode 06


Black Lagoon assumes a facade of shallow waters when, in fact, it runs deep.

The unexpected conversation with Rock in the U-boat triggers a uncontrollable response from Revy. Dealing with forgotten emotions is unnatural to her, so she lashes out in way she does best: a merciless killing spree. She intends to drown her unwanted thoughts in a cold, unfeeling bloodbath. Dutch snaps her back to reality but not before a tense moment of duelists pass by before them. Revy rebounds to her normal self. She and Dutch retrieve the painting.

Instead of being desensitized Revy’s indiscriminate bullets, you take in the reality of violence and death. People are killed in this series. They will not return back from the dead. To detach humanity out from her prey, Revy labels them as “pigs”. Never has “oinking” been so chilling.

Hats off to Megumi Toyoguchi for her exemplary performance.
