Faiz 43-44:
A whole lot of change happens in these episodes. But one thing that
doesn't
change is that Keitarou is the man. Seriously, I can't believe I ever used to think he was a lame character. It really should've been obvious when even Takkun has nothing but nice things to say about him at this point.
One thing I think was done really well here was how the show balances all the misery and cruelty going on with a lot of genuine human kindness and compassion. It pulls the rug out from under that for drama, of course, but the emotions themselves are never... invalidated, I guess? A show that's going for cruel twists at the sake of everything else would probably reveal at least some of this stuff to be a lie or whatever, but that's never really happened in Faiz. I've still got a couple episodes left to eat my words, but this show hasn't done a lot to upset me.
Although Mihara sure did a lot to upset Kusaka when he stood up to him to protect Takumi. See, this is the kind of spine I knew this guy had in him the whole time! Getting Kusaka to back down from one of his fits of murderous rage is something very few people can claim to have done. Mihara's the top dog, man. Kusaka even goes to him later for help taking on Kitazaki because he knows he can't cut it himself.
では、おなじみのファイズ翻訳ミスコーナーです~!今日の翻訳ミスはこれだ!
「人の優しさや、好意が辛い時ってありますよね」
I'll say upfront that this isn't as bad as it looks just from this one line. You still get the broad idea of Yuka's monologue here from the ones after it, and compared to what a trainwreck the last two episodes were, these ones were fine.
However, that doesn't change the fact that this is a mistranslation. What Yuka actually said here was considerably more blunt. It's, (very) roughly, "There are times when people's kindness and affection are painful". She goes on to elaborate that this is because she feels unworthy of being treated so nicely, which the subs got more or less correct. But this initial line, it's
immediately
impactful before she even starts explaining, and gives you a fantastic idea of the kind of headspace Yuka is in. The way it's translated here simply doesn't get any of that across, and given the context, the idea that Yuka would even have this thought to begin with is questionable.
W 43-44:
This is Keiichi Hasegawa's last arc, and I think he left on a high note. I'm very impressed with how long Double was able to keep doing standalone plots while still building the overarching storyline. The show handled a fairly tricky situation with aplomb. If you didn't have Shoutarou and Philip taking on new cases, it would stop feeling like a procedural show about detectives, and yet, if you
only
do that, you risk being unable to have a sense of rising tension as the end of the series approaches.
These last few arcs have done a spectacular job still focusing on the episodic plots, while showing how the status quo is changing, and making it clear things are going to come to a head sooner rather than later. These episodes in particular also gave the plot loads of thematic cohesion, with an all around emphasis on revenge, as it pertains to the Dopant, the client, Shroud, and of course, Ryuu, who ends up taking center stage here, leaving behind his own past once again to prove a point about how anger isn't the only way to solve problems. There's not much to complain about here. I guess the action was relatively underwhelming, especially for something directed by Koichi Sakamoto. But if we're talking about Sakamoto and Double...
