It's a bloody fun time at the amusement park as every cop and their minions show up in search for either answers or to keep answers hidden. Thankfully some secrets are finally out in the open, but for every secret revealed only more questions remain and I personally am as confused as our boys on who is the good guys and who is the big bad we need to watch out for.
I
was concerned that things were starting to slow down after episode 5,
but boy was I wrong. If anything Ouroboros writers put the story on
steroids and went full throttle with so many reveals and twists that I
am left gasping. This episode took the drama to a whole new level of
epic and has literally made Ouroboros my #1 favorite Jdrama to date. So
let's jump into the recap with both feet forward so we can quickly
start episode 7 since I can't survive much longer without knowing what
happens to Ikuo.
EEEEK!!! New episodes are out and here I am back on episode 5 with
my recaps. Sorry for the delay, the show got slower being released (not
that I am complaining since I am so thankful for the nice person
subbing this drama for us! Fighting!) and life got busy. So in order to
keep my promise to myself and not watch ahead of my recaps, I am giving you episode 5 the abridged version. Luckily this episode was
slow on the mass murder side of things and heavy in the moral decision
making which will allow me to breeze through so you and I can move
onward.
In this episode our Double Dragons continue their quest to find Sensai's killers (as usual). We have another serial killer (as usual). But this time we get to see Tatsuya cosplay a policeman (SQUEEEE) which might make this my favorite moment since the bathhouse scene. Orguri Shun truly looks good ALWAYS. The guy can do no wrong. So let's jump into the mysteries that surround our boys present and past and enjoy all the pretty eye candy while we do it.
Episode 3 continues to dole out the awesome bromance as well as a hefty dose of detective work as our double dragons delve deeper into the mystery of who killed their Sensai. But twenty year old mysteries are hard enough to solve without all of their leads ending up dead.
We had great progress this episode as we watched our two dragons fight against societies concepts of forgiveness and what it means to stay on the right path. Especially when the right path seems to be littered with those killed or hurt by the societies worst scum. It makes our anti-heroes question their vigilante motivation, and makes us viewers wonder if our leads are really heroes or only more of societies drudges who went down the wrong path. We also get so much wonderful fan service via a bath house scene, which helps a lot in distracting us from the fact that we are rooting for murderers.
I am a huge Shun Oguri fan, and being a fan, I personally have loved his workaholic ways this past year. So when subs were available for episode 1 of his newest Ouroboros, I was ecstatic. But little did I know that I would like it so much that I have been inspired to recap it each week.
