However, I think it's very possible that the footsteps were indeed Obari's. I'm fine with that, and feel tempted to go with that conclusion as well. That's the conclusion they're going with. Many people are simply going with the conclusion that Obari is dead, and that's that.

Also obviously open for interpretation by the writers. Then we've got those key footsteps briefly heard during the final shot. I'm guessing it was intended to be open for interpretation, but was that perspective supposed to revolve around the little basketball girl being the replacement assassin? I guess she was unaware of the death of the cop and the pink-haired guy, and was following through with an order to eliminate Obari? Maybe? This is somewhat of a clever turn-around for the plot. Basically, a replacement for Obari was mentioned earlier on. I saw some other people mention this in the forum. NEVERTHELESS, I will keep an open-mind and admire the chance of something clever occuring. Wasting away a main character like that in such a quick and unnecessary manner definitely detracts from my score of this anime. I can't decipher if it was significant or insignificant. Overall, Obari's death was way too sudden, random, and forced. Yeah i wonder if sawa was held for so long to gain their trust and then stab them in the back in the end? i think oburi didnt die right?Īnd in kite liberator is the red eye girl the same girl who shot oburi Other than that, the plot was decent and it had some nice action (fighting) scenes and music. Also the footsteps at the end felt like a cheap way to leave an open end, and I rather interpret that Oburi died. It seemed like she simply didn't care until she met Oburi. I do question the reason why Sawa held back for so long. As for knowing exactly when Oburi was coming, there's quite many ways that could have be done, and don't really require explanation. Seeing as Sawa was assigned the task of killing Oburi, it's not surprising that the little girl may have gotten the same mission. To answer the question above, the little girl was quite heavily hinted as another assassin (which explains why she had the same type of gun) trained by Akai/Kanie, and was also referenced to earlier in the episode.
#Kite liberator episode 2 professional
KITE is juvenile in spots, slow in others, but it's a good animated co-feature if you're thinking of screening Luc Besson's THE PROFESSIONAL for your comrades.I thought that was a fine ending. The 2004 Kitty Media DVD (the only one to get) is totally uncut, as is a German disc released a couple of year's ago (sans English subs). The erotic sequences, cut or softened in some versions, are as explicit as you can possibly get and gorgeously drawn. Umetsu has a passion for the domino effect of violence as one grisly atrocity begets another until the Tokyo streets and subways resemble a hellish inferno.

The shoot-outs are beautifully realized and the sound effects are sharp and effective.

That the assassin looks twelve (despite her concessionary breasts) is why KITE is questionable material in more conservative circles. An assassin forced to kill and driven into occasional sexual servitude by perverted bosses is the basic set-up of this excuse for subversion (nothing wrong with that). Director and storyboarder Yasuomi Umetsu's high octane visuals hang from KITE's basic, unoriginal storyline, but don't let that put you off this pleasing document.
