Kurozuka - Episode 9
Chapter IX
Running The Gauntlet
There’s some flashback’s showing Kurumazo and Kagetsu’s relationship. Kurumazo really wants revenge. He’ sent again to kill Kuro.
Kuro and his new friends stop their journey to have a dinner party. The sudden change to comedy felt kind of strange at first. But, it was funny and worked well.
In the middle of the night, they get found out by two helicopters. I wasn’t expecting this kind of fast paced driving action scene. Although, it had some unbelievable stuff happen, it was very cool and adrenaline packed. The CG had a lot of crazy camera angles and stuff. Really surprised me and it’s one of my favorite action scenes till now, really different from all the past fights.
Karuta takes a shot and eventually dies after they manage to get inside the castle. Although it was kind of expected after taking the shot, it it still felt bad. The characters were really starting to get along well, with funnier dialogs. Now there’s also no way for Rai and Karuta’s relation to further develop.
Kuro ends up killing Kurumazu pretty easily, at least from what it looks like.
Kuon is nowhere to be seen in the last scene, I wonder if he’s okay or already went ahead. I don’t think it’s likely he would die now, his action potential hasn’t been fully used yet.
