Relevant both to Shibazaki in Hiroshima and Nine and Twelve, and another sort of remark on Oedipus. Aside from smoking a cigarette just being the sort of vibe they want Shibazaki to give, think back to the case that got him bumped off last episode - he's a man who doesn’t quit.įinally, “ You cannot erase a person’s memory.” Even if a country moves past something, there are people who remember, and they then propagate it to the next generation’s memories. But as Ender Wiggins told us, you can't truly understand someone without loving them. Shibazaki looks like such a hippie, “I wanted to feel what they felt, hear what they heard.” - He’s trying to put himself in their shoes, the mythical detective who gets into the other side’s head. “Cold country”, another piece in the puzzle, but is it a corner-piece, or a center-piece? Riddles and thrillers, all about connecting the dots. Where did you pull him from, the archives? -) It’s almost a love-letter to this type of character. In the sun, face half-covered in shade, holding a cigarette. Drifting apart, until you get the right key for the lock. Drifting outside, just as we see a cop say, “It feels as if the more we chase the evidence, the further we get from these guys.” That’s the nature of riddles. Moments of Lisa interspersing the police segments. Maybe to show us the show-makers are in-tune with how things happen today? I almost wonder why we’re given it, except that it’s part of showing us the side of the police, and that it follows genre conventions. News that Nine and Twelve might be caught? No one to turn to, is this release, or further damnation?Ĭryptocurrency! Russian or Chinese sites filled with illegal content! This is standard procedural stuff. Still, she’s surrounded by other people, holding a tool used for communication, but it only emphasizes how isolated she is. Lisa, we think it’s a tear, as she looks down on her phone at her mother’s call, but it’s just rainwater. Childhood memories leave, portentous sights of the future arrive. As one actor exits stage, another enters. Just as we see Lisa running out of the building, we see the SWAT team rush into another, where the bomb was. Sort of like Oedipus.Īlso, a great technique. It is her, to whom Nine and Twelve feel kinship, as they too had to leave the “safe haven” that was their home, and run to the wilderness, from those who reared them and were supposed to protect them. It’s her journey, leaving society, cutting her ties, that frames this. Last episode did not end with her, unlike the first and second episodes, but we still begin things with her. A few too many, also because I tried for subtitle-less for some shots, and they’re hard-subbed.Įvery episode begins with Lisa. Now it remains to be seen how this thriller will keep playing out.
Perhaps it’s even sufficient if you’re the one who abandoned others. Lisa left home, her ties are all being severed - “But for you who have been abandoned, love does not exist,” was it? But it doesn’t matter if you’re truly abandoned, or only consider yourself so. So, where are we going? We’re heading towards a conflict. Zankyou no Terror episode 4 - Playing a Game Requires Others
