Appare has Biscuit Griffon's VA, but he definitely reminds me a lot of Mikazuki as a mad scientist.

I mean, even apart from that, the gang absolutely feel like two-bit goons operating off borrowed notoriety. I'd guess that Kosame's new friend with the scarred face is the real Gil, but we saw the back of his neck and it looks unmarked. Option B is that the big dude with the mask is the henchman who killed Hototo's parents, which is why he spared him this episode. When we saw a glimpse of his face, it looked pretty haunted, and his neck is hidden by his dreads.

InspectorCarbonara posted:My initial thought was that the guy in the car with masked Gil is really Gil since he's the one ordering everyone around on Gil's behalf, but I could see it being Richard as well. He tried to ram our protagonists off the road, which we already know is really not on in American motor racing. Whoever he really is, he's trouble.

I liked how efficiently the reveal scene set the tone for the gang going forward. They're jerks who deserve regular comeuppances when they go too far, but that's all they are, and they have lines they won't cross and endearing quirks to humanise them. I like how Chase respects his brother's opinions and decisions, even if he grumbles about it. Also, it seems pretty clear that we've now met the real Gil and his murderous lieutenant. Richard just seems way too quietly competent to be Ponytail's number two, given that he managed to stay right behind the Bads despite the trap they set up.

Glad to see the main villain finally taking the opportunity to look as incredibly extra as the rest of the cast.

Well, uh, that went places. America is literally hell, and Cowboy Satan finally showed up to pay his regards.

Xelkelvos posted:In a not so friendly little game between Capitalists, the Anarchist rears his head and shows how effective "might makes right" is, at least in the short term. I mean, he's an ancap. He's deeply linked to the violence bubbling below the surface of a colonial capitalist state with an underdeveloped rule of law, where you don't have to bother with framing and pretty disguises in order to go 'gently caress you, taking mine'. It's the whole reason why the protagonist is a brilliant scientist ahead of his time, trying to bring about a world where one guy who's good with a gun can't become a king. The race is basically a test of civilisation - it can only exist in a world that plays by the rules on some basic level, and America isn't there yet.

Electric Phantasm posted:Not gonna lie, I'm into them dedicating an entire episode on how much of a fucker Gil is. They basically committed to that character design as hard as they needed to, and I respect that. Dude's got a scar in the shape of an inverted cross and a glass eye with a red-on-black serpent emblem, and it doesn't come across as false advertising.

Xelkelvos posted:It felt more like it was a scar that's either a sideways cross or 11 in Japanese I mean, they committed super hard to him being as close to Literally Satan as a mortal human can possibly be, so I'm betting it's supposed to be an inverted cross.

macabresca posted:I binged this series over the last two days and it was a breeze! I rarely feel like watching an episode takes five minutes but here it really applies. He actually played one of those in Cop Craft. I mean, he was still a grizzled noir detective, but it was still quite unsettling.

Hah, guess I was right about the show being less about a race, and more about fighting for the possibility of a race. They even gave us a fun little racing sequence at the end as a reward once they took down Gil.
