Wednesday: Well...

First up, I guess I was wrong in my ranking of Holy Cross.

To be fair though, hydrostorm is objectively a better Item Crash.

Maybe I was wrong.  I looked a lot like my grilled cheese at lunch was cut horizontally rather than symmetrically.  It's less clear in this picture, but the bottom half was super rounded an all sides.

The financier was a bit odd tasting too.  Chocolate with something else.
First links:

Secondly, why did I suddenly publish a half edited blog draft from September 2014?  Because I caught the Murder Team 5 2012 special on TV this evening.  Unedited notes below the cut.

MURDER TEAM 5: 2012 SPECIAL!


Cast notes:  Murder Guy (MG), Murder Cop (MC), Murder Woman (MW), and Murder Tailor (MT) are the main characters and heroes.  Other people get abbreviated when I get tired of typing out their role names.  Same thing with Jinjinkai, which turns into JJK.


mg invents curry, but no one likes it?
mc has a new job?  it's a promotion to honmachi from minamimachi
the annoying guy too
jinjinkai?  I think they're like a construction gang?  Like, a gang that builds things?  That's a thing, right?
whoops, they're going undercover in yoshiwara to try and catch gambling/murders.  The previous undercover cops were killed
some guy is looking for MW.
MC recruits MG to go undercover
Senkichi is the guy's name.  He's probably an assassin too.  I think he's running this jinjinkai gang.

MG goes to the gambling thing, MC is undercover and takes back some of his money.  I think Senkichi is there too.
Mirokubo Ensei is his secret undercover name?
MG is now "rescuing" a prostitute.  She's accidentally a prostitute.  She likes MT's bird.  She's from a rich family, and doesn't know things.  Her name is Oharu.

One of the people in the jinjinkai group was a murderer, and ran away to escape.
I think he just got murdered by Mirokubo for breaking his leg.
Lord Jackass is cool with that, because he's corrupt.

MC has been gambling a bunch undercover.
The boss wants to know the progress.
Rats out the jinjinkai guy.  The boss knows they use prisoners as labor.  Now he has to go undercover with the JJK.

Lord Jackass is planning to build something
And they're going to kill all the prisoners?  I guess?  for reasons?

MT and Oharu are bickering.  She pricks her finger, and MT does a super fast ninja thread tie to it.
She's curious about the JJK.
She knows the murderer.  I think.  SO I don't think he's the one who died.  He was a landscaper for her rich family.  The murder was to protect Oharu.  They were totally dating.

MG just invented the hamburger.  Oharu thinks it's strange to eat with her hands and without chopsticks.  MG even put them in wrappers and in a paper bag, so it's totally mcdonalds.

MC is pseudo confronting the Mirokubo at MW's house.
BG has a one-handed monk after him?  ok?

MC is recruiting MT to go undercover in the JJK.
MG fake tattoos MT so he can do undercover.
Oharu's family is a wealthy mercer in Edo.
MG thinks MT should get out of the killing business.  But he's too hardcore murdering.  MT5 4LIFE!

BG is bragging to MW how he's going to be a lord.  He wants MW to join him.
Ooops!  The one-handed monk is back!  Drama!
BG is kind of scared of OHM.  MW thinks she knows who is is, but is being sneaky with names.  EVEN THOUGH WE DON'T KNOW HIS NAME SO IT DOESN'T MATTER!

The BF and his friend are escaping.
MT is anti-escaping.
The muscle noticed the escape.
The friend got knifed in the ass.  MT is helping the BF escape.  Yohei.
MT is like, "hey!  I guessed the right one to save!  I'm great at this!"

Uh-oh.  Oharu's letter was supposed to be from Yohei, but maybe it's not?

I'm confused.
And then MT got scared because of people searching?

Oharu's mising?

The boss is all "we're done with this.  It goes all the way to the top!  Don't speculate!"

MW doesn't think BG and her friend are the same guy.  Even though...
OHM is at MW's house.
MC is all sneaky "I see you"

MC is confronting BG.

Lord Jackass is diverting a river to build a theater?

MT and BF were captured.  Whoops.
They play "go free or we kill you".  BF gets to go free.  MT doesn't!  OHS NOES!

They're going to work-murder MT and a bunch of others.
They did at least let the BF go, so I guess they're not as bad as they could be.
BF handed MT his get out of jail card, and wants him to escape and tell Oharu that Yohei was already dead.  Because reasons?  He's not a main character I guess.
But whoops!  Oharu just saw him get killed.  :(

Oh man, the muscle dude just killed Oharu.  :( :(
There's only 20 minutes left, and they're going to have to murder up a bunch of people, so I guess they did have to get the bystanders dead.
Oh, I guess Oharu isn't dead.  Yet?  Oh yeah.  She's dying.  :( :( :(
MT is not happy about this whole situation.
Oharu is taking a million years to die.

"Boss, can you go find those assassins who kill people in revenge for good, innocent people getting killed by bad guys?  I've heard that they live around here somewhere."
"I am going to fucking murder everyone I need to.  You're going to be the most revenged person ever."

"Hey, MT5.  We're going to go out murderin'.  Oharu's dead!"
OHM is sneaking around, and just got stabbed a bit.

The targets:
Lord Jackass.
The Muscle.
Mirokubo Ensai.

MG got Lord Jackass at the illegal gambling hall.  He's all super surly about it.
MT just magically showed up at the construction site.  You can't just pop up in the middle of a damn river.  Then again, your death thread thing has never made sense.
MC doing the important job.  BG has his sword, because he's cautious.  Oh no, MC lost his sword!  ON PURPOSE!  Oh, he secret stabbed BG with his other sword.
"Oh, are you dead?  YES, BECAUSE I SUPER STABBED YOU WITH MY OTHER SWORD!"

End credits.

Senkichi is the brother of BG.
MW: "He might have been the biggest villain of this whole thing."
MC: "You might be right."

MG just invented potato chips, and is serving them to MC's family.  No one wants to eat them.
