In her own damaged way, Revy deeply cares for Rock. Her screaming at him to look at her was her way of trying desperately to protect him from something that would scar his psyche.
This was the moment that Revy lost Rock. The good man that he was, became tainted by this act, and he would descend down the path of darkness going forward.
I don't know if I buy that. In many ways-- Rock was never a 'good man', just a powerless, beat down one with a lot of internal resentment towards the world around him. A good-natured salaryman he always appeared, but underneath, he was always the literal definition of a rebel without a cause. His foray into the east Asian underworld, from the beginning, was for a selfish reason, if you'll remember-- because he enjoyed the freedom it gave him and the power it allowed him to wield to get back at all those who treated him like nothing. Sure, he often uses that power to help others, so it's easy to think him a hero, but as time progresses, it's obvious that he never did this for others so much as for himself. Whenever he offers his aid, it's usually to those who've been screwed by a more powerful entity they've no hope of winning against, a situation that resonates within him because he was screwed over and belittled his whole life, by his parents, by his job, etc. These were all more 'powerful' entities that used and belittled him. And he took it because he didn't know what else to do or how else to live. But as he got used to danger and his back being put against the wall, his real personality began to shine through, thus leading us to the man we know today. So when he's attempting to save others from impossible circumstances, he's really doing it to stroke his own ego so that he can say that once again, he challenged the odds, took on greater powers, and won. It's all a dick measuring contest disguised as something noble, but the truth is, his clever joke to Ballaika that this was his 'hobby' was unironically spot on. He gets off on siding with the underdog and winning. It's his thing. He's been addicted to that feeling since the time he engineered the take down of an attack helicopter with a WW2 era patrol boat. The only real question is if he's going to keep pushing that envelop until his luck runs out or if he'll one day learn to let go of his anger at his own impotence.
@@chunkmcbeefnob717 Thing about that is, this scene was him being absolutely sucker-punched in the face that, even if he gives it his all, the world can easily take all of that effort and run a sword through its throat. If it weren't for the fact we haven't gotten a proper continuation of the story for over a fucking decade at this point I'd talk of how this moment affected his character, but all we can do is speculate and pray to the Gods that the manga, and with it the anime, will properly continue again before either we or the writers expire.
@@SeanstonVA The manga has another arc after this and Roberta's blood trial. It's pretty good and it continues to questions Rock's actions and purposes.
@@GabrielGonzalez-ee9fn I heard about it, yeah! I also heard it features him being confronted with what his descent into darkness can lead to. I'm very excited to read it!
I absolutely love the way Revy cares for Rock here. The way she screams at Rock telling him not to look at Yukio. It’s something you could easily brush off, but Revy realizes that the way she looks at death and the way Rock looks at death are completely different. She knew how much it would effect Rock and tried to shield him from it. I fucking love this show
Revy telling Rock to look away is really telling, about Revy's feelings about Rock. The Japanese dub is a bit more clear, she tells him, "You'll become damaged." Revy wants Rock to stay how he is, innocent, at least by Roanapur standards, and undamaged.
The innocent Rock was already gone by the time they went to Japan. If the innocent Rock was even there at all... Rock veiws Yukio as Revy veiws him, too innocent for the underworld. Right before Yukio killed herself he had to make a speech to her, pretty much him telling her he was right. He watched her commit suicide to prove his point.
Random Cat sorry, I worded something badly. So yes, Rock is not innocent, by far. I would argue that there is still relative good in him by this point, but in my original comment that’s not what I was talking about. Revy sees Rock as innocent. She has an idealized view of who he is, because (not that she would ever admit it, or perhaps even be consciously aware of it in the first place) she has a bit of a white knight complex with Rock. Revy hates Roanapur, she hates living the way she does, and she hates herself. Revy, on some level, sees Rock as somehow capable of redeeming her, saving her, from her current place in life. It’s because of that that she overlooks the changes in his personality, whether that choice is conscious or not, and doesn’t want him to be “damaged”, even if in reality, he already is.
Deep down, Revy still cared for Rock's innocence; yelling at him not to watch Yukio kill herself and just look at Revy. Now that he has seen first hand the ugliness of someone's life being ended by their own hand, there's no turning back for him.
The sound of yukio running the sword though her throat is terrifying to listen to. Yukio was clearly in love with ginji. She believe the only way she could be with him is to become of the living dead... but in a actuality if she asked he would put his sword down and run off with her. Ginji believed she was doing this out of duty to her clan and has a yakuza. But When ginji heard what rock made her say he blundered and that what gave revy her opening to shoot him.
@@MohamedAli-xu3uw it was edit out. When Rock said you should of asked ginji to though away his sword and run away together. She replies and saids Like wanderers that sound like a romantic comedy. Then before she said I’ve already thrown my dice. She saids I’ve often wonder what that kind life would be like. Like I stated she believed she couldn’t be with ginji living a normal life. That what made ginji blunder. But she was wrong, that what ginji wanted but both of them prioritize being a yakuza over what they truly wanted.
@@MohamedAli-xu3uw yeah. He was reminded of what she had said to him before. It made him lose focus for a moment which gave revy the time to block his sword with her knee and shoot him. If he hadn’t of lost focus he probably would have avoided her knee and stabbed her in the chest.
The voice acting in the show was amazing, one of Ocean Studios finest works. Too bad they no longer get casted to dub anime anymore, would be nice if Funimation or Crunchyroll would give them a few anime to work on.
@@thomasraines1396 The main reason is cost. Majority of anime dubs are made from non-union productions and tend to have limited funding when making a dub. Non-union dub actors are cheaper to hire and cost less to produce. Ocean Studios is all Union work which means they cost more to hire, hence why we never see them dub anime anymore which is a shame. Back in the early 2000's Ocean Studios was much cheaper to hire. The Canadian dollar was weaker than the US dollar so outsourcing anime to dub in Canada was cheaper at the time. During the 2008 recession that's when we started to see a big shift in the anime dubbing industry. The US dollar was at one point on par with the Canadian dollar and over time it became too expensive to hire voice talent from Ocean Studios. So they then turned to local talent based in Texas, LA and New York to save money. After that they haven't looked back.
He knew he had to. He basically caused it trying to save someone who, as a Japanese man himself, should have known a yakuza head even as young as her would choose death before dishonor.
With the exception of Gretel being killed in front of Rock there is no more haunting scene than Yukio taking her own life to atone for the sin she should've had no part of to begin with. The added punch is Revy trying to protect Rock from the results of failing to save one piece of the world which gave him hope. At this point it guarantees that Rock is even more important than money to Revy.
"At this point it guarantees that Rock is even more important than money to Revy." We already know that Rock is more important than her own life to Revy. From the moment she pointed her guns at Balalaika. I beleive Balalaika had also noticed that change in Revy. Balalaika was very much surprised but this fact made Rock a very interesting subject to her.
I can imagine what a person outside of this is thinking. Probably looking it looks like the goofiest thing they've seen and "oh shit man, she stuck that sword in herself"
I hate to say this but this was a turning point for rock to go darkside. After this event to Roberta Blood Trail he still has this trauma about Yukio of what she said mostly about Rock "Saving" her which that's what I know and I believe he really wanted to do even trying to stand up in front of Balaika when almost being killed by her crazy ass. I know people in different website kinda over complicate things with Rock or him being the "Antagonist" but I don't think he is by any means. Sure some actions he makes can somewhat effect others but this scene here is what gives him doubts that no matter how hard he tries he just feels like he can't save anyone like he is just powerless. But if they continue the show I want Rock to be able to break that whole darkside effect unlike most others that embrace it and be the one who actually can help someone in the story without having it to be in either Balaika's hand or Chang's hand of how they want it to bring things their ways. For Rock this event is going to be a drive for him that he will never remove from his mind because Yukio was definetly without a doubt a key point in Rock's heart that he actually potentially would be inlove with despite how it went down in the end. This is what gives him the reason to somewhat go darkside I mean he could never stop thinking about her, nor the dreams that goes back to when Balaika put a gun on him plus the death of Yukio and some things that they both say to him. Is basically a Nightmare/Drive to get his hands a bit dirty. But that's just my point of view here.
He does in the wired red card arc in the manga but sadly the author is not really writing this series right now so I don’t know if the series continues much after this
I believe you to be correct and not correct: 1: Yes I agree with everything you've said Rock going to the darkside and to be fair I can see Rock slipping because he might believe it in himself the only way to help people is to "embrace" the darkside, at least that's what I believe his character will go towards. 2: As for my disagreement; he won't because he's been the outlier of Roanapur the somewhat glimmer of hope [although using the word hope is a bit of a stretch if you ask me] regardless I believe he will embrace it and will tell it to go fuck itself, that's what I believe his character epitomizes telling the world to go fuck itself with the bird SKY high, whether he realizes he's repeating the same cycle as literally everyone in Roanapur or someone or something will remind him that he doesn't have to be in the darkside in order to save someone, however. Even that is a stretch but then again it makes more fun, not knowing what Rock might do. He is a Wild Card after all?
Everyone likes mentioning Revy’s scream of pain but, 0:09 Oh man, that little satisfied chuckle she let’s loose when she sees Ginji cut a bullet for a second time is just chef’s kiss delivery.
Man this arc. Talk about having your characters parallel. Ginji was basically like Rock, being in the twilight but wanting to be in the light. Problem was the girl made the wrong decision in not realizing what she already had. It would be like if Rock took a step backwards cause of Revy's claims. Which Revy pushed his buttons but he stood his ground.
It’s that damn ending music it hits you in the soul makes you feel like your in slow motion it’s like you got done with your favorite anime then a year later remember it and get that feeling in your gut damn
As scared of Revy as I am, she's still got some humanity and cares for Rock. This was a rough one to watch. I can't stress enough how incredible these VA's were.
I was so disappointed by this. Before the fight, Genji told Yukio that he was going to challenge Balalaika himself. We could have gotten a chance to see Balalaika in action, but instead we get this.
Although in the anime the fight takes place in dockyard but in the manga the fight was taken over a shrine where both yukio and genji were wearing kimono
"Don't look at her, Rock! Look at me!" Damn, that hit harder than it ought to. There are few anime where I prefer the dub over subtitles. However, Black Lagoon and Hellsing/Hellsing Ultimate are definitely two of them.
I love this scene, I love this show, but how exactly was this fight not over in about 5 seconds (generously), your mans had a sword and Revy had not one but TWO guns
Thinking about Japan arc for days and my conclusion is that to save Yukio, Rock just had to stop Revy and Ginji fighting. But he didn't, it's like he suddenly gave up and "you're gone too far", but did she? He finally got Yukio's true motives, and could've persuaded her with them not for killing Ginji, but for stopping the fight, there was enough time considering how long they've talked. He stops Revy, Yukio stops Ginji. They run off somewhere, not in Roanapur of course since Balalaika is there, but somewhere in Japan. Maybe their yakuza connections will get back at them someday, but maybe not, it's their problem anyway. I mean she's just a schoolgirl, but also showed herself to be very stoic, smart and with good morals, Rock shouldn't be like "there's no hope for you stupid". But seems like he chose "darkness". Now I wonder if he became "the villain" before her suicide, not after. Even worse since he was very nonchalant after receiving her picture, but you can argue that it was coping\depression or he already lived through the most of emotions. Well, there's no drama then isn't it. Or you can just imagine that Rock got it all together too late and there was no stopping the fight, then it all works as usual. Seems like in manga version it works better, fight was already at end. P.S. In any case, this damn arc was really hard-hitting for me, even twins arc really hit me only near the very end (Rock talking with girl on the ship and the ending). Yet to watch RBT but I don't think it will be harder\generally hard, i'm not much into Roberta. Will see.
The only time I think revy got seriously injured in this anime. Interesting thing that I noticed, is that even though she's injured, she's trying to still protect rock from being mentally scarred from the girl commiting sepuku. NOTE: I said "I think" this is the only time she was seriously injured.
It's static black and white pictures so it's not that hard-hitting unlike it could've been if animated. And anime still fully shows her falling over Ginji's body with the sword sticking afterwards.
@@happilyevernever4289 Yep. There have been several signs warning of that possibility. Hopefully, Revy and Rock can save one another before that happens.
*I wonder 🤔 how old is Yukio? She looks like a high school student right? Meanwhile her classmate that started to cry when she saw Yukio leave with all those Yakuza, that classmate looks like an elementary student 😲 & how old is Ginji?? 30 - 35?*
@@GigaChadh976 weird part is a lot of people think all Japanese school girls are young, which is true but someone raised from 18 to 20, and the reason why they look younger, is because it's Japan, and in Japan a strict diet, and exercise, and he'll even freaking perfection in there is all that is needed in that country.

Facts 💯🐐
Thats what i said to my self thank you
True true, but there's still some ulterior motive there
I like to think if revy developed a deeper bond with rock he would have listened and looked at her instead of looking at the darkness of what he saw.
Whether you look away or not you're scarred for life regardless I know cause I've been there
That was the most realistic English dub screaming ever.
Lan Fan’s English VA in the FMAB dub did a pretty good scream too, tho it was technically muffled it sounded pretty realistic
Not surprising since Black Lagoon have one of if not the best dub in anime
"Don't look at her rock, look at me!" Is so well delivered.
This was the moment that Revy lost Rock.
The good man that he was, became tainted by this act, and he would descend down the path of darkness going forward.
I don't know if I buy that. In many ways-- Rock was never a 'good man', just a powerless, beat down one with a lot of internal resentment towards the world around him. A good-natured salaryman he always appeared, but underneath, he was always the literal definition of a rebel without a cause. His foray into the east Asian underworld, from the beginning, was for a selfish reason, if you'll remember-- because he enjoyed the freedom it gave him and the power it allowed him to wield to get back at all those who treated him like nothing.
Sure, he often uses that power to help others, so it's easy to think him a hero, but as time progresses, it's obvious that he never did this for others so much as for himself.

It's all a dick measuring contest disguised as something noble, but the truth is, his clever joke to Ballaika that this was his 'hobby' was unironically spot on. He gets off on siding with the underdog and winning. It's his thing. He's been addicted to that feeling since the time he engineered the take down of an attack helicopter with a WW2 era patrol boat.

It’s that damn ending music it hits you in the soul makes you feel like your in slow motion it’s like you got done with your favorite anime then a year later remember it and get that feeling in your gut damn
As scared of Revy as I am, she's still got some humanity and cares for Rock. This was a rough one to watch. I can't stress enough how incredible these VA's were.
Revys guns: Accuracy -99% , infinite bullets
like how revy and jambo are trying to kill each other while rock and the other chick were just chilling
Bro that throat stab sounded like an apple core being split open.
0:35 All that for a drop of blood?
I was so disappointed by this. Before the fight, Genji told Yukio that he was going to challenge Balalaika himself. We could have gotten a chance to see Balalaika in action, but instead we get this.
Although in the anime the fight takes place in dockyard but in the manga the fight was taken over a shrine where both yukio and genji were wearing kimono
0:31 dang that kick must've hurt .....
this is best black lagoon scene easly
Must watch anime definitly, I watched it 3 times and I'm not bored any single moment.
Twenty-one foot rule! Twenty-one foot rule! REVY! Why are you getting closer?!
"Don't look at her, Rock! Look at me!"
Damn, that hit harder than it ought to. There are few anime where I prefer the dub over subtitles. However, Black Lagoon and Hellsing/Hellsing Ultimate are definitely two of them.
English dub Revy is so good.
Let's appreciate the bird timing
The feels man...
Good lord she lives for this shit! Damn!
In the subbed, he dies saying "I messed up". I wonder why they felt the need to change the dialogue
he looks like toguro
I love this scene, I love this show, but how exactly was this fight not over in about 5 seconds (generously), your mans had a sword and Revy had not one but TWO guns
Quentin tarantino rules
@@gkkk2735 so more “rule of cool” then straight logic?
@Thomas Raines pretty much, trust me once you see a teenage girl john wick shotgun 5 dudes with hidden guns you kinda stop questioning it lol
This scene made me really sad... Anyone else feel the same way too? ;(
I would pay cold hard cash to get a set of beretta’s like revy’s
They make replicas of these I think.
Just imagine if the series was just about Yukio and Ginjo and then it ended here...
that scream tho
Thinking about Japan arc for days and my conclusion is that to save Yukio, Rock just had to stop Revy and Ginji fighting. But he didn't, it's like he suddenly gave up and "you're gone too far", but did she? He finally got Yukio's true motives, and could've persuaded her with them not for killing Ginji, but for stopping the fight, there was enough time considering how long they've talked. He stops Revy, Yukio stops Ginji. They run off somewhere, not in Roanapur of course since Balalaika is there, but somewhere in Japan. Maybe their yakuza connections will get back at them someday, but maybe not, it's their problem anyway. I mean she's just a schoolgirl, but also showed herself to be very stoic, smart and with good morals, Rock shouldn't be like "there's no hope for you stupid". But seems like he chose "darkness". Now I wonder if he became "the villain" before her suicide, not after. Even worse since he was very nonchalant after receiving her picture, but you can argue that it was coping\depression or he already lived through the most of emotions.
Well, there's no drama then isn't it. Or you can just imagine that Rock got it all together too late and there was no stopping the fight, then it all works as usual. Seems like in manga version it works better, fight was already at end.
P.S. In any case, this damn arc was really hard-hitting for me, even twins arc really hit me only near the very end (Rock talking with girl on the ship and the ending). Yet to watch RBT but I don't think it will be harder\generally hard, i'm not much into Roberta. Will see.
One of anime’s best romances
This episode was so sad
Shame season 2 isn't on Hulu. 😕
Sometimes words are enough to kill and sometimes they have the opposite effect on what you want
Best part is right before this clip beings, they are the walking dead, killing each other.
The only time I think revy got seriously injured in this anime. Interesting thing that I noticed, is that even though she's injured, she's trying to still protect rock from being mentally scarred from the girl commiting sepuku. NOTE: I said "I think" this is the only time she was seriously injured.
Roberta blast her with rocket launcher once😂
They dont do dubbing like that anymore...
I think they still do but pretty rare these days.. They really should treat it like how VA does in video games.
NEVER pull out a knife or sword when youre stabbed. Wait till you get medical help
Yeah that’s the normal way to do it but they aren’t waiting around for paramedics, and Revy can’t move with that giant sword in her leg
He must have let her reload a couple of times or something
I'd like to think that the favor he owed to revvy was hitting her in the knee instead of the heart on that last move.
In the manga, they show how she stabs herself compared to the anime.
I guess Rock's reaction is more important than a gore scene because this is where Rock gets his dark side.
It's static black and white pictures so it's not that hard-hitting unlike it could've been if animated. And anime still fully shows her falling over Ginji's body with the sword sticking afterwards.
when i see this fight i just think can revy not aim a gun? she has perfect accuracy in other episodes but in this one she misses at least 30 shots
Ich hab den anime grade fertig geguckt 10/10 😢
Bro you've got guns why are you charging him
Anime logic.😂
Fr💀
Also how tf is she missing most of her bullets?💀
All I got to say is that they need to ship revy and rock I can see them as a good couple
Wouldn't it have been if revy kept her distance from genji?
I guess coz he could've forced her to draw nearer by threatening Rock. Idk anime logic i guess.
Bruh
Are we ever getting another season ?
I want that so much.
Probably not I heard the author is having health problems 🙏 I pray he recovers with whatever he's got
@@GenjiPlayerr I hope so to this is one of my favorite shows
Maybe cuz the manga is still running
@@almawash2q8 volume 12 should be released this summer. Or that’s what I heard at least
❤❤❤❤
18. God damn. What a waste.
the pistols ability to block the sword is inconsistent.
So is slicing bullets, with unpredictable trajectory, in half.
That school girl was completely selfish the whole time, and *that* is why she died.
True
But it gives Rock's fate a terrible sense of foreboding, don't you think?
@@happilyevernever4289 Yep. There have been several signs warning of that possibility. Hopefully, Revy and Rock can save one another before that happens.
*I wonder 🤔 how old is Yukio? She looks like a high school student right? Meanwhile her classmate that started to cry when she saw Yukio leave with all those Yakuza, that classmate looks like an elementary student 😲 & how old is Ginji?? 30 - 35?*
She's 17
@@ShoppingBored
19*. And Ginji is Mid 30’s
@@GigaChadh976 weird part is a lot of people think all Japanese school girls are young, which is true but someone raised from 18 to 20, and the reason why they look younger, is because it's Japan, and in Japan a strict diet, and exercise, and he'll even freaking perfection in there is all that is needed in that country. If you are not perfect, you do not belong in Japan, and you dishonor your family.
@@demochris1786 looking like a child isn't perfection dude.
Lol, like screamers? Try some classic b/w horror films.

Caught the ryona fan 👆👆👆
I will never understand people committing suicide. But if squeezing that trigger or whatever is worth it, then I'm sure as hell not gonna stop you.
We dont get dubs like this anymore. So many english VA's these days are insufferable. Huffing their own farts.
I hate it when anime girls die. It’s just too horrible to me even though they are fictional.
Английский дубляж не передаёт те эмоции, которые в оригинале
Иногда переигрывают, иногда не доигрывают 👎🏻
Мой вам дружеский совет, смотрите лучше с субтитрами..
Pretty solid emotions here. Idk what you're talking about
@@happilyevernever4289 уж поверь мне,я знаю японский и смотрю в оригинале
Там не только говорят на японском,половина на английском, половина на испанском и на других языках не только на японском
Так что лучше смотреть в оригинале и с субтитрами 👋🏻
man dub does all anime a disservice
Nah this dub is one of the best stop shitting on your on language you fucking loser
@@ZBjs-oi5hz not shitting on it at all you dick I'm not wrong in saying it's a disservice, in general subbed makes for a better representation of characters, did I hurt your feelings, this is one of the better dubs mind you death notes a good dub example.
troy this is one of the best scenes in the show along with the voice acting
troy and try not to write me a paragraph next time
You read it didn't you? Are you always so negative get over yourself.
