EPISODE REVIEWS
I really enjoyed the fight in this one. I liked that it felt more personal and respectful instead of just being about beating the other guy. That made the fight more interesting to me, and I thought it was handled really well. This one was a fun watch.
This episode's highlight was focused on Sagat and his backstory. The tone was pretty much deceiving, as there were conspiracies troubling him around him and the misery befalling him because of it. The plot was realistic in the sports industry. The visuals were not good for photosensitive viewers, though. What happened to that lizard-faced warden served him right!
Honestly, really not a bad way to introduce Muay Thai. It was a good journey from Sagat's past to his fight at the prison with Ryu. Yet another episode that I enjoyed and liked each fighter's determination - especially that last scene. Now all that's left is getting hold of those shitty Ashura guys that have been plaguing the storyline for a while now.
