On the previous episode, Logan and Yukio decide to crash Kurohagi’s delivery by throwing a couple of Molotov cocktails with Wolvie, confronting Kuorhagi at the end. At the near end of the episode, one of X-Men’s famed villains, Omega Red makes an appearance and decides to settle his score with Logan.
If you watched any X-Men cartoon adaptation, you always see Omega Red either working for the government to defeat the X-Men or working with the Brotherhood. But this time, it seems that he is working freelance thanks to his grudge against Logan. I like this. To begin with, Omega Red never stood out as a bad guy, well his tentacles, yes it stood out for me but his personality, not much because he is some guy who works for some organization and he is just doing his job and his darn good with it!
What I can say about this Omega Red is that, for starters, it is fun to see Omega Red having a grudge against Logan because of what he did years ago thanks to some carbonadium synthesizer, which is need for Red to survive from the rejections caused by the prosthesis found in his body. In addition, he has every right to be angry with Logan because he stole that said item for the government!
First impression about this guy, I love their version of Omega Red! A mutant struggling with the weapons found in his body and now that he is okay with it thanks to some folk from Madripoor, he is about to get his revenge because of what Wolverine did to him years ago. I like this Omega Red along with how they redesigned him to make him look like some angry old Russian!
About their fight, its fiery, making a good contrast to Wolverine’s first encounter with Omega Red back in cold Russia. The fights showed the anger found in Omega Red’s eyes and in his fight with Wolverine, he clearly dominates that Wolvie had no choice but to throw some LPG tank found in the warehouse just to deliver major damage against Omega Red.
Overall, this episode is quite an episode. Asides that it reintroduces an old X-Men villain with a pretty good reason why he needs to trash Wolverine with his tentacles, adding another mutant in one of the things Logan needs to settle in Japan adds spice to this show.
