Angel Heart 16
Xiang Ying is still planning on killing Kishimoto. Meanwhile, Ryo has spotted Tanya’s father, with the help of Umibozu. He then takes Tanya out to the playground she always goes to, and she introduces him to her best friend, Kuma-san. It seems that the bear who heands out balloons at the playground is actually Katsumi. Ryo sends Tanya away for a while and goes and talk to Katsumi. He tells Ryo that Kishimoto had gotten funds to build a school in the Ruzen Republic. However, Kishimoto let a crooked construction company build the school and kept the money for himself. Katsumi feels terrible for letting those children die and not doing anything about it. He doesn’t want Kishimoto to die, but he wants the truth to be found out, to make Kishimoto see his mistake. At Cat’s Eye, Xin Hong is worried about Xiang Ying and he wants to go and look for her, but Umibozu stops him. Xiang Ying is still checking out the best sniping position. The next day she has her chance to shoot Kishimoto, but when she wants to pull the trigger, she can’t. Ryo is very proud of her, but Xiang Ying thinks she can’t be City Hunter if she can’t shoot. Meanwhile, Ryo has asked Master Li to let the news about Kishimoto leak out to the Taiwanese Press. Ryo and Xiang Ying then go to Tanya’s school with Tanya’s mother. There, Ryo tells Tanya that he isn’t her real father, and Tanya already knew, but she thinks her real father is dead and really wanted a daddy. Then Kuma-san turns up and exposes himself to a surprised Tanya and Irina, who are very happy, finally their family is together again. xiang Ying starts crying seeing the family reunited again, but doesn’t understand why. That evening, Xiang Ying is constantly practising her shooting, until Ryo comes to stop her. He tells her that Kaori couldn’t shoot either, nor did she know any martial arts, and still she was a wonderful City Hunter. When they’re at home, Ryo finds Xiang Ying sleeping, completely exhausted. He touches her chest and hears Kaori’s voice, telling him that Xiang Ying has a very fragile heart and to take good care of her. Ryo then realizes it was Kaori who stopped Xiang Ying from shooting. He leaves the room, leaving a tear on Xiang Ying’s cheek.
This was a good episode. A lot of things happened, Tanya’s case is solved and Xiang Ying’s character has also been developed a bit more. Ryo even got to talk to Kaori now ^_^ I’m really starting to like this series more and more.
