This show is glorious.

It just keeps escalating and escalating, getting more and more ridiculous. I can only imagine what the people who dropped it with Guillotine Gorilla would be saying now had they kept watching it.

But later on they actually have some pretty insightful political commentary. The people do want to be tricked. They want to believe that they’re doing good. Fighting the good fight and winning.

And of course I would be amiss if I didn’t mention how badass Gotoh was this episode. First he single-handedly fights off an entire SWAT team without even breaking a sweat. Then he poses and declares himself as Samurai Policeman. GET OUT GOTOH!
