Balalaika is no joke, for starters she's huge for a woman (5'10"), for another she received some of the best military training the commies could offer, comparatively, Rock is an average Japanese dude who spent most of his life in a classroom or cubicle, he stood 0% chance. XD

Rock really did deserve a reality check from Balalaika. He didn’t want justice. He wanted to have his cake and eat it too. He wanted his exciting life in Roanapur and his peaceful life in Japan; and he was willing to put other lives at risk to do it.
WELL FUCKING SAID Dude. Rock sometimes does Not Realize it But he's actually On the Pathway to becoming Possibly 1 of the Greatest War-Lord's in Roanapor. Rock's Brain and his REAL GOOD Skill's he's got at TRicking other's and All that, Is WAY MORE DEADLY then ANY Gun. But Rock is Still a Good Guy. He's not evil. Rock is simply Learning he REALLY DOES Care for Revy an the Other's and he Learn's if he wants to help Keep Em safe, He's REALLY Gotta Play by the game Roanapor has Set Up for Him and ANY1 else who comes to that city.
@@lavellelee5734 Well said. Rock IS you can See as Black Lagoon Gets near the Very End Learning he REALLY Needs to Get with The Way Roanapor is. Rock is REALLY Beginning to See, If you wanna Protect your Friends you Love very much in Roanapor, You gotta Be a Killer. Roanapor is a City where you Gotta Spill Blood if you Wanna Survive. Revy and Balalaika and Dutch an Chang, they are not evil. Yes they are VERY VERY BRUTAL, But they are not evil. they just do what they Do to Survive. and Also, they dont Kill Innocent people. They Kill REAL FUCKED UP Miserable Scum who are TRULY evil. like those neo-nazi Fuck's and Drug cartel Fuck-Truck's and the Big shot wanna-Be's who think they will become the next Capone.
You guys are miss understanding Rock, Balalaika is actually the one who's shocked. It's revealed in the manga that Rock was just seeing how far he could push her. Balalaika knows that Rock is probably the most dangerous, if he realized it, because he's already the smartest in the room.
@@Jo-sx8yi in Soviet Russia men were not allowed to shake a woman's hand unless she offered her hand first. Women rarely shook hands of men they don't know,trust or like. Also women never shook hands at a first meeting. Women didnt initiate handshakes. Forcibly shaking a woman's hand is not only considered very rude but also bad luck.
I always wondered if that was just artistic flare from the artist of that frame, or if they're trying to convey a very light scarring of the surface of that eye that only shows in certain light - it would be a wonderfully subtle bit of character detail if its the second one, but it still looks awesome if its just the first.
@@reality2710 , who cares the scene is excellent, and it was a twist considering miss balalaika gun to rocks face could very much kill him and give a fuck, but ultimately she kept him alive by surprise, and he's the translator, and the more significant thing is id say is if she's wet or can still get wet that most likely threw her for a curveball
The scariest thing about her, is that despite the fact that the series isn’t finished yet and i’m not caught up with the manga yet; its become crystal clear that at some point, rock and revy (and maybe dutch and benny) are all gonna have to go head to head with balalaika and take her out, and *rock is the only one alive who can figure out how to do it.* And that terrifies me.
no, rock and co. are smart enough to not go against hotel Moscow. Vs Miss balalaika especially. Dutch did mention, that if they (hotel Moscow) are serious, he wants to be at least 200 miles away from where its happening.
@@Xeno7771 people like dutch most likely, but rock? I could see it, he’s definitely grown darker as a character and i doubt someone like him will atay and work under her forever. At one point or another he’s going to grow to be exactly like Chang. Especially after robertas blood trials The guys getting too smart for his own good and its just leading him deeper down the rabbit hole of trouble. And at the bottom is where people like Balalaika lie. So i could definitely see it happening eventually someday People like them are practically destined to clash again at some point
I believe first rocks plan was to keep her out of everything while balalaika does her work. When the japanese girl counterattacks against balalaika first he tries to negotiate their live,since balalaika doesnt HAVE to murder them as well. When she refuses he basicly goes "oh well,then could you be so kind to PURGE everything relateable to the yakuza so the girl has no choice but to back out?" But then again,the girl still choose to fight and die.
What I love about this show is all the alliances are very loose. Even Rock and Revy who it seems at this point, are close now. Rock respects Revy and Revy sees something in Rock's honor that she wishes she had but she knows she is to far gone and doesn't want him suffering the same fate.
It’s funny how this chick can easily be compared to frank castle(the punisher) from marvel comics due to her outlook on life after her time in the war and losing what she cared about.
In some versions of Frank’s origin (if I’m remembering right) he didn’t really care about his family and was planning to leave them before they got killed and he just uses their deaths as an excuse to justify his war on crime.
@@jbourbon3734 dude... if two people are aiming at each other, they wont shoot. no matter where you aim, the moment person gets shot, reflex pulls the trigger and you are getting shot as well. In this situation, if Revy decided to shoot, every person including Rock would end up wounded/dead.
Balalaika's bodyguard is ex spetsnaz/paratrooper and all of her men too, they are mastered in pain and though being shot he can shoot back. Remember they played all nights with the vampire twins and in the end kills them like birds. So, if she kill their boss, surely they will kill all of the black lagoon company.
Revy is amazing but im not sure this time. That guy, the rigth hand of Balalaika is a russian old soldier wolf with an amazing training, and Balalaika herself is one who can stand with Mr Chang, who can even surpass Revy skills. It wasnt to end well for them
00:57 Wo kommt der Mut denn plötzlich her, habe ich überhaupt Eier, wie ? Ich würde mal lieber das Plappermaul halten. Who gets shot, you or these people ?
Do you mean this as a compliment or otherwise? The VA for english dub is excellent in playing as Balalaika. She's a soldiee turned Mafia boss. She has to be extremely edgy most of the time because she felt insulted becoming a "criminal" after being trained to win the world war 3.
Her dub voice is PERFECT

She Did EXACTLY what Rock had asked. And was absolutely both Turned on and Amused that he would Question her Judgement.

True
the little details such as balalika's sticky notes being in russian, her refusing to shake anyones hand. etc. are so nice to see.
Is shaking hands considered impolite in Russia or is there some other context I missed?
@@Jo-sx8yi in Soviet Russia men were not allowed to shake a woman's hand unless she offered her hand first. Women rarely shook hands of men they don't know,trust or like. Also women never shook hands at a first meeting. Women didnt initiate handshakes.

Look at the force she exerts at 0:50. If Balalaika doesn't exercise tirelessly and regularly, then I don't have autism.
