Revy accompanies him as his bodyguard, and due to her proximity, gets to see a side of him that she had no experience with before.I personally loved this arc, most especially because of Revy. This arc primarily focuses on Rock's struggles to affirm his new identity, as the lines between his past and his future are blurred surprisingly well. Her business, of course, does not involve love, joy, and happiness, and he soon finds himself mixed in with Japanese mafiosos. Through his continued aid to Hotel Moscow, Rock finds himself whisked back to Tokyo as a translator for Balalaika. Not much to comment on about it though.The Second Barrage's finale arc, however, is by far the strongest.
My least favorite of the arcs from both seasons, but it is amusing. Cannibalism? You bet. Necrophilia? Of course! Yet, as disgusting as it is, I found their horrendous back story to really fit in well - no matter how much I hated their guts, I couldn't help but pity them.I guess the storywriters figured the audience needed a break after the twins arc, so the second takes a light-hearted, comedic approach. Now, if you just tried to picture that, you've got a pretty swell idea as to how grotesque this arc is. These two assassins, whom are "affectionately" referred to as the twins, will make you cry and throw up at the same time, and both out of the same orifice. The first arc encompasses the continued power struggles in Roanapur, where one of the major drug cartels hires assassins to kill Balalaika and the rest of Hotel Moscow. The intrigue of the story comes from an overall atmosphere, where events that happen in one arc indirectly tie into the next. While not quite on the level as the first season, if you loved Black Lagoon you definitely ought to turn your head in this direction.Because the story portions of The Second Barrage really aren't too incredible in and of themselves, I won't spend too much time trying to make them more complex than they actually are. Instead of four separate mini-arcs, however, there are three, each with a unique focus: the first on the macabre, the second on humor, the third on character depth. StoryThe Second Barrage picks up right where Black Lagoon leaves off, carrying on the same sense of atmosphere and style.
