Jake is playing the gaijin card cleverly here. “My Japanese is so bad let’s switch over and then also throw all Japanese mannerisms over board because this way I can get what I came here for”. Smart.
And girl has got a yak-bf… something silly like extortion by a third party should easily be resolved no?
This was the best episode so far! Finally less Jake and more jakuza.
Jake is getting a bit needy/annoying, hopefully it’s just a character arc. I’m shocked Samantha and Sato got together, though they do seem to fit well.
What an ending. This will surely spark a gang war.
The slowness of this series is really wearing on me.
68 | Ishida is a real deal. The yakuza war that we waiting for finally begins. This episode has the best scene so far in Tokyo Vice. But there were a couple of minus points, it was unfortunate when some character has a good performance, there were also other characters who had an awkward performance. Anyways, this was an episode that showed explicitly the rivalry between clans, and we need a lot of that.

This series is intense. Can't wait to see more.

Disappointed but not surprised that people like the most violent episode best.
