The Devil Lady: Enemy
It’s Friday March 16, 2018… and you talk about your psalms, talk
about your John 3:16… well Freddy 3:16 says it’s time to review
another episode of The Devil Lady with episode 8, ‘Enemy’ which
first aired November 29, 1998.
The episode opens
with part of a video being show, showing a guy wanting to reveal the
beast transformation to the world and we learn that it was sent to
all the news stations, but the HA managed to keep things quite, but
want to investigate things thoroughly to find out who it was that
sent the tape that could lead to humans wondering if they have the
beast-dna code, maybe seek out others of their kind, form support
groups and probably cause the end of civilization as we know it.
Now with Jun in this
episode…. She wonders why does she have to wake Kazumi up for her
first day back to school, after all Kazumi forced herself into living
with Jun… and while trying to get her hair done, she gets called
in, sees the tape and meets Dr. Jason Bates who has been working on
the beast research at Samuelson laps. He has come to Japan to witness
Jun in action, and expresses some interesting theories that humanity
must evolve but doesn’t think it should lose their humanity… that
sounds totally redundant but you try coming up with another word for
it.
Anyway, the beast of
the week is discovered to be a sports broadcaster who wants to
broadcast his transformation live on the air, thankfully the news
station manager puts the kibosh on that. The beast itself is has two
tyrannosaurus like heads and a similar tail, plus a human face on
it’s torso. It’s big and powerful and through the magic of plot convenience manages to trap Jun underneath a lighting rig that somehow
she can’t lift off of herself.
The reason for this
is so that Dr. Bates can save the day, revealing himself to be a
Devil Man like Jun, he has his humanity and can throw down with
beasts just like her… makes me wonder as to why if the HA has Dr.
Bates on the payroll why did they really need Jun? I bet it has to do
with the giga-effect, because it’s pointed out in the episode as
part of Dr. Bates’s reason to coming since it transforms beasts in
Godzilla like monsters. Now the fact that he saves Jun is consider to
be disappointing and Asuka chews Jun out over not handling the
sportscaster beast.
Overall: I think
this was an interesting episode in introducing the Jason Bates
character as it focuses on the issue of Jun being caught between
fighting for humanity while being a Devil Lady, though I didn’t
like how Jun had to look weak to show that Bates was stronger than
her, considering I’ve seen how Jun can take a pounding. The issue
of Jun ‘failing’ and disappointing Asuka is straight out of left
field, as Jun just had a rough time with a beast in the previous
episode, so Asuka should no that Jun isn’t flawless but gets the
job done.
Anyway that will do
it for this week’s review, next week I’ll go over episode 9, and
on Monday (thanks to a screw up on my part) I’ll be reviewing part
4 of Doctor Who: The Smugglers.
