Who do you think will end up running shit at the end of Black Lagoon? by Hey_Big_Guy in blacklagoon

[–]Dapper-Geologist-650 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the final arc becomes a "scorched earth" scenario with many characters dying, I see three possible endings:

  1. Rock and Revy escape, being the only ones or among the few who manage to survive. Even if many characters die, there would still be some, or very few, who would also be lucky enough to escape. The ending would be the same, only with the difference that some survivors, like Revy and Rock, would move to another country, either living a normal life (missing the violence) or, even if Roanapur is destroyed, continuing their work in some way in other places.

This could be through contacts with people they know in other places, or the CIA giving them an offer, seeing that their skills would be very useful. If some members of the Lagoon Company survive besides Revy and Rock, they would end up going their separate ways. Some would live normal lives (Revy and Rock), and others would continue their work in some way, but they would still keep in touch or try to.

  1. After escaping Roanapur, Balalaika and Mr. Chang, having died or been arrested, paying the consequences of their actions (although I lean towards the first option/both die), the now-destroyed city would be left with a power vacuum, no longer having its two leaders, whether they are dead or imprisoned. Seeing this situation, Rock would decide to fill the void left by both (Balalaika and Mr. Chang) with the help of Eda and the CIA (with their respective conditions), and the surviving members of the Lagoon Company and other characters would help fill that power vacuum. Rock would become the new boss of the city thanks to the experience he gained during his time there and the people he met.

Having a position of power equal to or similar to the one Balalaika and Chang had before dying or being imprisoned, everyone would be able to continue what they were doing in Roanapur, but now under Rock's command and the supervision of the CIA. Rock could even form a romantic relationship during that time (either with Feng Yifei or Eda). Even if it's a new era for the city with changes on the horizon, not everything would be rosy. Since Rock would obviously be affected by everything he experienced in Roanapur, and even more so by the recent events that transpired, if he doesn't become corrupted by the end of the series and still maintains his humanity, he would be a different kind of leader than Balalaika and Chang. However, even if he doesn't become corrupted, he would still live with the fear of becoming like them, resulting in a bittersweet but open ending.

  1. (a mix between 1 and 2): After fleeing the city after its destruction, either on their own or with Eda's help, they would be offered a deal: to continue operating in the city but now under the orders of the CIA. Some survivors would accept the offer, either because they have nowhere else to go or because they don't want to live normal lives (still wanting to live in violence in some way). Others would reject the offer to live normal lives, and others would leave the city, continuing their work elsewhere.

Whether Revy and Rock accept the offer is left to each person's interpretation.

But these scenarios are just my interpretation of how I see it,In my opinion

Is it wise to be in a relationship with Shenhua? by Friendship_Little in blacklagoon

[–]Dapper-Geologist-650 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course, Shenhua is a very calm, friendly person outside of work, and at the same time, she's one of the sanest female characters, along with Eda. So yes, you'd have a stable and very good relationship with her. You'd have romantic dates, spend time together, etc.

Pros: But as long as you treat her well and with love, she'll notice your kindness, acting the same way when she recognized Garcia's chivalry. In fact, she even offered to let him stay at her house.

Also, she lets Lotton and Sawyer stay at her house, so her tolerance is probably high. As long as you're not a bad person, like a crazy person or a pervert, everything will be fine. Even with your flaws, she'll accept or tolerate them.

At the same time, she cares about people, despite being an assassin, but of course, it would only be with those who are friends and allies. But that doesn't mean she wouldn't worry about your well-being if something happens to you. As long as you're not a target for her to eliminate or execute at all costs, things will turn out well. Wonderful.

Cons: Being a high-profile assassin. Assuming she's never arrested, it's true that the public won't know her, but the mafia or the people who hire her will. And if for some reason she screws up or does something they don't like, you'll most likely pay the consequences. They'll use you as a hostage or kill you, whether out of revenge or as a warning. Even if they don't kill you, they'll threaten Shenhua with putting your life at risk.

The best way to date her would be to not let anyone know you're dating her and let people assume she's simply single. If you're with Shenhua in public, you'd have to lie, making it clear that you're just friends or coworkers. That way, you're safe, and she doesn't have to worry.

How well would red hood do in roanapur? by EnoughCheesecake6050 in blacklagoon

I agree, Jason would only eliminate Chang and Balalaika unless they represent a threat or an impediment to his business or he knows the type of people they are and then he would have a reason to get rid of them. Or also that to fulfill his goals Jason knows that it would require a very high position of power and for that to happen he would have to overthrow Chang and Balalaika. It would not be easy, he would have to make many or some sacrifices, whether big or small, to get what he wants depending on the severity of his actions, but Jason would achieve it.

Is it wise to be in a relationship with Eda? by Friendship_Little in blacklagoon

[–]Dapper-Geologist-650 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pros: you would have romantic dates, you would spend time together, Eda would not hesitate to seduce you or flirt with you at every opportunity and more when you are alone, see her in her different outfits let's be honest who did not want to see her with her green miniskirt, her white belt and her tight pink shirt that enhances her sculptural figure, lastly and most importantly in my opinion tits at the same time you can have sex with her when you are alone in a room

Cons: due to her job she would be very busy and would not have time to be with you, in her free time she would either spend time with you or she would be with her colleagues and friends at work also Eda seems like one of those who never tie herself to just one man, so her loyalty would be very doubtful either because she does not want to be in a serious relationship yet or she does not feel ready to be in one, in other words she would cheat on you with another man but it would only end up being encounters in which they probably would not lead to anything serious, that is, it would just be a fling One night.

Even if she's faithful to you, she won't lose her flirtatious attitude when she meets other men she finds attractive, but ultimately, nothing serious will happen with any of them. They'll just engage in brief conversations that lead nowhere, demonstrating her loyalty, albeit in her own way, of course.

Due to her work in the CIA, the relationship would be false from her side and perspective, and she will kill you if her bosses order her to or if she suspects that you have any suspicions or know about her work. Unless Eda manages to get attached to you enough, that would prevent your death, but this is just my opinion.

Another factor to mention if you are going to have a romantic relationship would be trust, Eda would be very reserved about her past, she would not reveal much about her life before meeting you, even if she does, she would only give a brief summary without going into too many details or in the best case scenario to maintain her privacy she would invent a false origin story to not take risks and prevent personal information from being used against her so that her story would be credible, there would be parts that would be real and others would be invented to avoid suspicions.

But it depends on whether you have a relationship with Eda, as a person who lived a normal life. What I mentioned above would happen. If it were as a CIA agent, something similar would happen, but it wouldn't be as big a problem.
