What does the bag actually contain? The plates to manufacture notes? I might not be remembering correctly the scenes in the past, but perhaps the girl doesn't actually have anything with her that would be instantly worth robbing, not enough hard cash anyway. It could be that even if they robbed the plates, they would still actually need the expertice as well to be able to use them for anything. And that's why they would rather get money, one way or another, than just rob the girl.
I was under the impression those plates were high quality and even if you had them and didn't know how to use them, couldn't you just sell them for a very high price?
Of course, my idea would totally kill this arc. But it's fun to point out what concessions a storyteller would make for the sake of a good plot or character development
This girl is so annoying and they're in love with her panties.
Revy and Eda are such a cool combination, Eda had everything planned out, until they got to the wharf, heh. It's going to be good to see how things are carried out from here.
More Revy action saying "Are you OK Rock!?"
Also, with the cowboy when I first seen this guy, I thought he was going to be someone that would be some body in this time, not a complete idiot who doesn't know what he's dealing with. He certainly has come into the wrong place for his antics. It was good to see when everyone said they wanted the money up of because who has her.
They do want the plates, but Black Lagoon is in the service of transporting and protecting goods... If they simply started stealing from their clients then that would be the end of their company.
I liked the storage room scene with the girl on her laptop. "192"..."168"...Anyone that has worked with consumer routers should be VERY familiar with those numbers.
Shenhua is most likely not dead since she was smiling during the freeze-frame of her. She probably has something up her sleeve.
Finally had the chance to watch the last couple of eps and they were awesome. The only thing that would make this arc even better is if Shenhua was on Revy and Eda's side but I guess the other team can't be all jobbers.

I never wanted to see those numbers after taking CISCO...
Shinsen release!
Episode 18 - Shinsen
All I can say is that the last five minutes were mindblowing. Who could even suspect that about Eda!
Is it weird I thought the cleaner chick who lost her voicebox was kinda cute sitting in the rubble with her head on her knees?
Yeah. I hoped Rock would finally do something, but in the end that moment still keeps us awaiting for it.
Well, the counterfeit money arc seems to be over, and the preview suggested something between Rock and Revy might happen, so I'm as eager as I have ever been with waiting for the next episode of BL.
omg Shenhua got owned!! That idiot Wizard guy seemed like a nice person plus he was kinda hot looking so hopefully we'll see him around again =p
Lots of nice action in this episode.. I loved the way Revy took out that flame-thrower guy, pure awesomeness..
I wonder what's up with Eda.. Does she have a hidden agenda or did something bad happen in her past? So many questions, so many possible answers..
Another great episode. It had its great moments, both funny and serious. I was laughing so much when the Wizard guy got shot while making his "big entrance". Like Shenhua said, he was a complete dumbass with that appearance.
But damn, Eda's past is revealed and it's a real mindblower! The biggest question I got right now is: is she currently working with the CIA or is she ex-CIA?
I'd say by how quickly she killed the cowboy after he guessed it, that she's still working for the CIA. My question is how many members of the Church of Violence work for the CIA? Is it just Eda, is it some, or is it everyone? Thinking back on the machine gun guy at the beginning of this arc, he had a "new recruit" feel to him. Combined with Eda's acknowledgement, it makes me wonder if he really was just transferred from the States.
Now I'm really wondering about Revy's past. We know she grew up in America, and I'm guessing she met Eda there rather than in Roanapur. From the looks of it, her and Rock are going to Japan, maybe we'll get some Revy info in the next arc.
caught up on this series again.
Eda caught my attention early on, being the first person to be a faster draw than Revy, but I was getting tired of her until the end of 18, when the Cowboy revealed her true identity. It makes me think that indeed the Church of Violence is connected to the CIA. The Americans are, so far, the only group really not represented in this show, and it'd make sense if the Church turned out to be the leading US criminal faction.
and that Rotten the Wizard guy... wtf? i mean, why introduce someone like that in the first place? That is the one thing that I don't like about this show, how it gives alot of time to the minor characters. If it focused a little more on the main ones I think it'd be right up there with Bebop
That Flamethrower guy made my day. He reminded me of a fat Johan (from Monster), except with pyromania ... that creepy smile. I also loved hearing Dutch curse so much. and Benny got some booty!
Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
We go further into Eda's past, that was surprising. I've got the same questions that have been mentioned here, and we should be finding out soon. It's a good cover if that's indeed what the Church of Violence is.
Rotten the Wizard was awesome! He's all about looking cool, haha.
Flamethrower guys death, takes the cake.
Rotton the Wizard was a big surprise to many, I'm sure.
My guess is that Eda and the Church of Violence are doing the dirty work for the States. Whether they're still connected to the CIA I'm not so sure.
As for Revy, I think she was busted by Eda and then something happened in the States that made them both leave and go to Roanapour.

I guess my criticism of killing that annoying Jane girl right away got thrown out the window the moment she admitted that the plates weren't made yet and she was trying to access them this whole time. oh well!
and i agree about the saw girl, whoever said it earlier. She did look kinda cute once she lost her voice machine.
I like how even though they were on opposite sides none of the cool characters died. When Shenhua got hit by those rounds I was like oh noes they actually killed her. And that saw chick had me laughing when she couldn't find her voice box and balled up like a little kid.
