On this week’s
Talking Anime segment, I will be going over episode three of The
Devil Lady, titled Wings which first aired October 25, 1998. And I
have to say I love the simple one word titles of this series.
The episode opens
with Kazumi working during a photoshoot and when there is a break she
spots Jun, who storms off when Kazumi calls out to her. Later when
Kazumi calls her, offering to be the friendly ear that Jun has always
been to her, Jun basically tells her to bug off… and gets lured to
a bar by a random dude for a meeting with Asuka, who basically
repeats herself about Jun being a beast and she best remember its
better to be the hunter than the hunted. After leaving, Jun
encounters a rather creepy kid who is one of the Devil Beasts, who
tells her that they are going to target Kazumi and implies that Jun
‘longs for her’… leading to Jun doing everything possible to
reach Kazumi’s house, arriving just after Kazumi’s parents are
killed. Pissed beyond all reason,
Jun lets out her
beast, transforming instantly, no hesitation what so ever and does
battle with a giant rat which stood little chance, Jun just beats the
crap out of it in short order killing it easily with Kazumi’s house
being destroyed in the process. Another beast appears, looking like
dragon with bird wings and feet that says Jun is going to pay for her
deeds since she’s the reason Kazumi and her family are dead,
clutches Jun’s head lifts her up with the intent to drop her to her
death… only Jun sprouts wings flies up and rips off the 2nd
beast’s wings sending it crashing down onto some electrical power
poles before the episode ends with Jun seeing Kazumi’s apparently
dead body on the ground.
This episode…
kicks all sorts of ass, while not much is advanced in terms of
character development, the fact Jun cares so deeply for Kazumi to be
made an easy target for the other beasts speaks volumes, not to
mention just how wicked Jun got when she got to Kazumi’s house. I
mean think about it, in episodes 1 and 2, Jun basically was in mortal
danger before she transformed but here, she powered up without a
second thought. The beat down on the rat was awesome, with Jun
sending it up to the ceiling of Kazumi’s living room and punching
it repeatedly and with enough force to bring the entire building
down, not to mention the double-sledge shots it its skull where the
impact of her caving’s its head in was shown… so the big takeaway
I have from this episode is…. don’t fuck with Jun’s friends,
she will find you and she will kill you.
