Hellhounds for Hire (Part 1)
Mugen and Jin run away from Foo. They run in opposite directions but wind up in the same town. Two gangs are in the midst of a turf war. The Kawara gang have been there for decades and the Nagatomi gang are fairly recent arrivals. Mugen hooks up with the Nagatomi gang. Jin hooks up with the Kawara gang. Foo gets tricked out of the last of her money and then gets captured and locked up in a brothel that belongs to the Nagatomi gang.
The three are reunited at the end of the episode when Jin and the son of Heitaro the Buddha, the leader of the Kawara gang, try to rescue his sister who has also been captured and thrown in the brothel. Jin and Mugen are ready to cross swords when the episode ends.
I figured that this was where this episode was probably going to end. I didn’t foresee it happening in a brothel or Foo being present.
There is another character in this episode, Ishimatsu. He a local tough guy and seems a bit put out when he learns about Mugen and Jin. Maybe he will play a bigger role in the next installment.
It’s hard to judge this one without seeing part two. So far I like it but it isn’t awesome which is also kind of how I feel about the series up to this point.
