Hatenkou Yuugi - 2 Recap.

Hatenkou Yuugi - 2

This episode came out really quickly and even though I watched it quite a few days ago, my journal isn't really a review blog, as much as a synopsis about the episodes I watch and the like, so expect spoilers, yes! Come here if you want to discuss the episodes with me and the like.

Hatenkou Yuugi starts off with someone asking Alzeid and Baroqueheat if they like their partners and they both say no and that they are not satisfied with their lives, but Rahzel chimes in with the fact that they should shut up and she will make their lives more interesting. After that, you see them getting their mugshots taken and the two guys are asking if being in jail is her idea of fun and interesting and if so, then they miss their old, boring lives and then they tell you that yes, this episode will take place from inside of a jail!

Rahzel and Alzeid are wandering around in the city and Alzeid comments that Rahzel should not lead the way since she gets so lost, but she says that he should blame the city for having roads that lead to dead-ends and that the whole city should be redone, to which he responds, "If only you were King." It was really funny, haha, his dry, sarcastic Cloud-voice is just wonderful.

In the beginning of the episode you see a flash of Alzeid and Rahzel's first day together again and you learn that he is after the woman that killed his father and even though his father was killed As they are wandering around the town, apparently looking for Heat, a little boy that looks just like Edward from Fullmetal Alchemist runs into them and begs Rahzel for help saying that someone is chasing him, but she immediately 'rejects' him and he is shocked and whines about she is so mean to little children but she tells him that if he is in trouble, he should go to the police, but he tells her that's who is after her and that they will kill him like they did his father and all of the sudden Alzeid responds and actually cares and says, "Tell me about it.". The two of them appear interested for a moment, but it is too late because the police are there in the next instant and the three of them are arrested, with the little boy leaning up against Alzeid for protection. They do not struggle at all and then are thrown into jail.

Once in jail, the three of them are in a cell and handcuffed and without looking perplexed at all, Alzeid tells the little boy to tell his story now and then Rahzel thinks to herself that Alzeid and the boy are just the same. At this time, you go back to the first day they met again and the two of them in the restaurant and he tells Rahzel that he is chasing the woman that killed his father and even though his father was the one killed, he feels as if a piece of him was killed, too and because of this it is as much of a revenge for him as it is for his father. When it goes back to present in jail, the little boy then starts his story and tells them that his father was thrown in jail for something small and was supposed to be released quickly, but he wasn't, so his son went there to ask about him. He ended up asking the Warden/Owner of the jail and without any care at all, the man tells the little boy that his father was killed just the day before in the prison and when he asks why, the man tells him he can't remember every case in there. Obviously upset, the little boy throws a rock at the man's window and then the man yells for his guards, the police, to catch the little boy so that he can suffer the same fate as his father and that is how he ended up running into Rahzel and Alzeid.

Suddenly, you hear a familiar, cheerful voice in the next cell and it goes over to show Heat in the next cell also handcuffed, waving cheerfully at them. Rahzel asks how he got in there and says they were looking for him everywhere and Alzeid says that he probably got caught with a bunch of ladies and beaten up, but Heat says that he does not need money to get the ladies - it's funny. Alzeid then responds, "Spoken like a true pervert." Ah, I love his sarcastic voice, hehe. Heat then tells them that he is pretty sure that the boy's father was killed solely to make room in the prison and explains that no towns really want to house a prison, so all the towns send their prisoners to this one prison, which made it vrey overcrowded and instead of building something more, they just started killing them for more space and by chance, that's how his father was caught up there and killed.. so it was really for no reason. The little boy is horrified, but before he can continue a guard comes to his cell and delivers his meal and Heat apparently enjoys jail food because he gets really excited and goes to happily eat, but is interrupted by Alzeid saying that he has decided to help the boy.

Then, with no energy at all, he stands up and breaks the chains of the handcuffs and Rahzel yells that he is deciding this very fast and then breaks her handcuffs with magic and in the next cell Heat whines that he hasn't even eaten his food, but is picking the locks of his cuffs, too - they could just get out any time, they rule.

Then the escape happens! As they are on their way out, Heat comments that they have very good security here and Rahzel reminds him that it is a prison, so of course they do and he asks what kind of security, like ceilings that crush you and big mean dogs and she laughs and tells him no, that is far too classic, but... within moments, those exact things happen!

Alzeid picks the little boy up and bolts down the hall and Heat comments that he only cares about himself and sweeps Rahzel up into his arms and starts running, too, before the ceilings crush them. She screams at him to stop taking advantage of the situation, so he stops confused, but she then screams at him to keep going and he does so, happily. Up ahead of them is a huge door, which excites Alzeid because they rush through it and he kicks it open and it's sexy.

Then the dogs come and instead of fighting them, which Rahzel doesn't want to do, Alzeid just stares them down and then they comment that he is scarier than a beast and Heat says most men are like that and he will show Rahzel the beast in him, but she asks if he wants to be whipped and he backs away very frigthtened.

The poor boys finds something that belonged to his father on the ground and Heat and Alzeid have a little disagreement because Heat points out that Alzeid was using the little boy to help with his own revenge problems and Alzeid asks if he wants to fight, but Rahzel interrupts them. Then the main event occurs.. well, the first part. The room they are in stinks and there is a huge gate on the other side that is scary and dark and even though you do not see what is there, you can assume it's all the dead bodies from the prison. They do not get any closer to it, however, because then the floor drops down into an elevator and they are brought down into an arena inside the prison.

The evil warden man then tells them that they will have to fight their way out against all the prisoners in the prison and the last person standing wins. Alzeid says that it's a bother, but Heat says it's fun. Rahzel says no fun, but they kick the shit out of the prisoners anyway. After that, the warden laughs and says they did a good job and he will release them if they kill the boy there, but they obviously ignore that... Actually, they all start calling him a 'baldie' since he is bald and says that nothing he says or does matters because he is a baldie. He gets really mad, but before he can do anything Rahzel and Heat do a combo move and she jumps up on his shoulder and with her magic, breaks the window that was protecting the warden up in his box seat and takes him out with magic and drops him on the floor.

In the next instant, the boy is there with a gun and holding it to the man's head, swearing he will get revenge for his father, but the evil man grins and asks if he can do it. He is confused, but you then see Alzeid and Heat surrounded by a bunch of guards and he tells the boy that if anything happens to him, that they will die right away. He looks hesitant for a minute, but he is about to do it when Rahzel explains to him the most effective way to do it, with the most blood and this freaks him out, but once again, he is still ready to do it, EXCEPT -

Rahzel pulls a gun on him and points it to his head...

He asks her what she's doing in shock and she tells him that the second he pulls that trigger, her friends are dead and that, to her, is the only thing that matters, so she will then take her revenge. She tells him he will kill him instantly, but not just him, everyone in the room because no one takes her precious things from her. She tells him that after that, someone will hunt her down and it will just keep going like that, but tells him again to shoot the gun. He cries about not wanting to kill them, he just wants to kill the warden, but she says it doesn't matter since he made the choice with knowing the consequence and he yells at the man and asks him why so many people have to die just for pathetic him and she says she knows it's unfair, but that's how revenge and killing work - they are an endless cycle.

He drops the gun and runs to her, crying and apologizing and she hugs him and tells him it's okay. Then the warden, unguarded now, reaches for the gun the boy dropped, but Alzeid and Heat stop him and tell him that he would really regret that, but they will make him regret it anyway and they will him pain in a super extra workout and that he will enjoy it. From there, you hear a scream from the prison, as they beat the shit out of him.

Once the three of them are back on their travels, Heat asks her about the things she said back there and she tells him that killing always leads to more killing. Alzeid tells her not to mind herself with his business and she kind of ignores it before Heat asks if she really would have gotten revenge back there, but she responds with the fact that nothing will ever happen to them, or her and they will love and grow old together and she will be as cute as ever and the two of them end with saying, "Leave that to us." It's awesome, I love them...

But what a serious episode, wow.. The first one was supernatural, but not anywhere near this serious. Episodes with children always bother me because people that would put children in danger like that are really evil.... As I was watching this, Fullmetal Alchemist was on Adult Swim on the television with the volume down and I kept thinking about FMA anyway, so it was funny. The little boy looked like Edward, hehe.
