Coyote Ragtime Show 3
Last time, Mister and Sora managed to escape from the 12 sisters, but of course the sisters aren't going to let them get too far, giving chase in helicopters -- Katana seemed to think the sisters would let them go for some reason or another.. he didn't even think about what to do if they did come after them (^^;) Now to do something about those "dolls", as Mister calls the sisters. As for the sisters... it seems May wasn't retrieved after getting that RPG to the back -- she's gone missing and they have no idea where she's at... Mister takes the gunners' seat, while Katana uses some fancy flying to evade the rain of fire from the sisters.. Mister asks Franca if she's heard anything from someone called Swamp, the "right-hand man" of Franca's father, Bruce. Seems Bishop had a run-in with him and lost, though he denies it.. Franca says Swamp stops by the bar every now then to see how everything's going. Katana takes the ship into water -- so it's submersible, too? nifty -- and it drops off the sisters' radar.
Mister then tells a little story that doesn't seem to make a whole lotta sense to try and get some point across -- the point seems to be what a common enemy for both Mister and Swamp is -- that would be Marciano... Franca remembers... she saw Marciano kill her father 。゜・（ノД`）・゜・。 Katana brings the ship out of the water and continues evading the fire... and change scenes to a church where there's a good ol' fashioned gospel music singing goin' on. "Funky Gospel 69", sung by the same guy that sings the OP.... probably should've gotten somebody else to sing it (^^;;)
Actually, it turns out that the pastor that was singing and dancing is Swamp. Just hearing the name "Mister" pisses him off -- he wants to find out why Bruce choose Mister to be his successor instead of him... Mister's ship comes up on radar and Swamp orders his guys not to hit them, but to give them a bit of a surprise... the ship enters a canyon with the sisters following. Guys positioned on the cliffs shoot RPGs (geez, they really like RPGs...) at the sisters' helicopters...
And Angelica and Oppai-chan Chelsea?.. well, they're on a ship and Angelica doesn't seem to be in too great a mood, going up to the cockpit and asking if they can pick it up a bit. She goes back to the room and opens a locker and starts questioning something -- What's going on? Why were Marciano's 12 sisters on both Ku-rong and Sandvile? Why are they after Mister? -- there, in a birdcage, is May's head.
Mister, Franca, Bishop, and Katana meet with Swamp. Seems Swamp's up for a rematch with Bishop anytime he wants, taunting him. Mister suggest having tea or something since it's been a while since they've met. Swamp teases, saying he should ask what the secret of the treasure Bruce left behind is.. but Mister already knows what the pendant holds -- exactly what Bruce saw. Then why did Mister come to him when there's no time and he already knew that? He's come to ask for Swamp's assistance. Even though he might know the secret of the pendant, that doesn't mean he'll be able to get the treasure -- only with power equal or grater than Bruce can do it.
Some old ladies come in, causing Franca to jump a bit and Mister to lose his cigar -- yeah, is a bit surprising -- the ladies are there to bring food for Swamp as they usually do, thankful for what he does for the village. After they leave Franca starts getting ready to make breakfast.. Bishop asks Swamp why he's a preacher -- Swamp then asks Bishop if he ever wrote one of those things about what he wanted to be when he grew up... that's a bit hard to believe there...
Swamp confronts Mister in the church -- he hasn't accepted Mister as Bruce's successor yet, and he wants to know what Mister intends to do. He's going to bring Franca with him.. of course Swamp wants to give Franca her father's treasure, too, but he doesn't want Mister doing it.. he wants to figure out why Bruce chose Mister to be his successor.. Mister and Swamp draw their guns and point them at each other.. and they shoot some soliders that were coming inside. Of course ;) Seems the sisters have cornered them, but both manage to get out of the church (much shooting in the process) and board the ship -- Swamp is going to come along with them. Mister unloads all the weapons the ship's got on the approaching helicopters, and... goodbye Sep.... Marciano is notified that Swamp and Mister are going into space together, and that Sep has "died"... she'll go into space as well, now...
And cross a sister off the list.. though I wonder if she really is "dead", unrepairable, not coming back. Would've expected one of the sisters going would be a bit more than just taking fire like that.. May's head is in Angelica posession, Sep is out -- is another sister going to go next time?. If so, someone other than August, please ;) Whatever happens, it doesn't look like the sisters can put up a good fight with Mister and the rest..
Anyways, so Swamp has joined the team, a preacher that was the "right-hand man" of the "king of pirates". Wouldn't exactly expect a pirate to turn preacher, but Swamp seems to be mostly a good guy like Mister, so we'll see how he helps out... Mister was cool as expected, though you have to wonder if making a stop like that and just about getting pinned by the sisters was all that smart... Well, he his Mister, so I suppose he can get away with it ;) After Franca's introduction last time, there wasn't too much of her this time, keeping her mostly in the background to Mister and Swamp. Cute as usual, of course. Hopefully she'll take a more active role in the upcoming episodes as she did last time, the more, the better. She's definitely at the top of my favorite character list as far as girls go this season :)
And next time... no next ep preview during the broadcast, so you'll have to go check the next ep preview at the show's website (click "story", then "next show time" to download).
You’ve got to love Swamp’s hairdo. I originally thought he was some sort of cat man when I first saw him in the preview. It turned out to be just his hair dye.
