Marvel Anime: Wolverine 04 – Omega Red

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.

Marvel Anime: Wolverine 03 – Kikyo, Molotov Cocktails and Seeing a Lot of Red

Can't wait to see some generic assassin in my birthday...

In this episode of Wolverine, which can be divided into two parts, the first part, we have the duel between an assassin and our Canadian mutant and on the second part; Logan is having his payback with Kurohagi drugging him in the first episode!

The first part of the episode reminded me of something. What if Kenshin Himura or any silent assassin had a face off with Logan? I guess the outcome of this part explained it. To be honest, Kikyo reminded me of every silent assassin variant found in anime with the exception that his sword is found within his body. Kinda like Wolvie’s claws except that it is a single sword. In terms of his personality, I find Kikyo somewhat forgettable due to how generic he is with added spice.

How generic? His fighting style reminded me of every wind-based assassin found in anime! I mean, he can use pressurized air to damage his enemies, what’s special with that? If the writers decided to continue on using this character, please, give him more variety. But hey, at least we know that he is the one responsible in killing Asano!

As for his fight with Wolverine, its fun watching it and the fact that it ended up with a draw gives us a possibility of seeing Kikyo again in the near future since he has unfinished business with Logan. And one of the best things about this fight? They abused Tokyo’s location, resulting to have fights on top of buildings, streets and on top of police patrol cars!

For the second part, probably, this one of the strongest parts of the episode. It is official that Logan and Yukio will cooperate because of their single goal of revenge against Shigen and his yakuza clan.

And how will they start their revenge? By destroying Shigen’s cargo of drugs using Molotov cocktails! The sight of seeing Molotovs flying around makes this episode fun along with Kurohagi and his men panicking in stopping the flames. What’s more is that Logan himself jumping from a warehouse rooftop just to confront Kurohagi, man to man!

Can't. Wait.

Overall, this episode compared to the previous one is strong in terms of fight scenes. The only downside with this episode is that Kikyo is just one generic assassin with mutant abilities that it felt like he is not worthy facing Wolverine. But hey, in the next episode, we will be having Omega Red! Please bring Sabertooth after Red so that I could see X-Men’s trademark squabble!
