Ah shit, O.G. wife’s snooping skills are on point!!

Wow this show is pretty sick!

Seems pretty cool so far. A lot of seeds have been sown, and the action is on point.

Got a new Sunday night show.

Damn… she looks good as fuck. So milfy.

I watched up till devil trigger mode and went home. How’d it finish? I liked everything I saw. That spear through the gut and ripped out through the back was great.

I really like the idea of a martial arts TV show.

Watching now… dayum. The guy is pulling out some donnie yet shit. welp… when the player gets cancelled hopefully snipes can come onto this show.

That’d be pretty dope. Probably would’ve made a great baron. I think the black baron is the dude currently on Blacklist, Edi Gathegi.

Wasn’t as good as I was hoping but it’s only ep1. How many eps are they going to do for season1?

They have 6 planned, I believe.

how are we not gonna mention sunny’s girlfriend is a automail mechanic. lol.

Fucking Winry…

Interesting show. Had me like

It’s nice to see a show with an Asian lead that isn’t mirroring The Green Hornet. Although this whole plantation “massa” feel is subconsciously a bit off putting. I was hoping to see real kingdoms.

Which begs the question, how the fuck do you outlaw guns and have everyone obey? I know this was done to prevent Gunkata hijinks and stick to traditional martial arts, but they might have to resort to some bullshit explanation to deal with this unrealistic scenario.

I recognized her from that Gawd awful show as well. She and the other girls on the show were solid eye candy though.

I’m sure he’ll unlock his hidden D-lineage powers like the boy has later on in the series. They are from the same region after all.

I thought the plantation setting was interesting but yeah it could have been European feudalism just as easy without alienating anyone.

Yeah, I had this thought too. They probably wont say anything at all about it. There doesn’t seem to be a “Federal Government” that oversees the barons that would have the power to do something like that. That I caught anyway, I didn’t finish the episode haha.

They probably wont mention guns again OR one of the barons is going to have a huge stash and get hammered by all sides.

Do you not watch anything without guns?

ya’all need to stop bitching about asian django. lemme just have this ok.

There’s layers to the logic when it comes to world building. You can create a story with semi-superhuman fighters and Devil Trigger dudes and it still wouldn’t cancel out the irrationality of shifty, conquest-thirsty barons not using conventional weaponry.

If the narrator didn’t say they were banished and just eliminated the concept altogether I wouldn’t be questioning the scenario. I would’ve pretended they never existed or the tech was lost.

Them having exaggerated choreography == going against human nature.

Did I mention wanting to have guns? I actually like the concept and the pilot, I’m just questioning the execution.

You asked how they keep order without guns. The same way any other show/movie without guns does it. The head honcho is some OP dude and/or just has the respect. Or apparently as we have seen, maybe some supernatural crap.

No he asked how everyone unanimously agreed to go, “Okay! No guns for anyone. I promise!” and not have 1 person stash a whole fuckload of fire arms and rise up and merk the rest of the non-gun-having world.
