The japanese version of Robin Hood. Yamaneko, the sort of tonedeaf version of Lupin, a thief that looks high on drugs every time that he opens his mouth to say something. I’ll be honest while writing this review and I’ll try to ignore my HUGE love for Kame. What’s this drama core? Yamaneko and Katsumura’s characters. Without these two leads this drama would have been sloppy and pretty boring. The plot is simple. The handsome and weird thief who wants to take revenge and kill the bad man that has ruined his entire life making him a spy without his will. Yuuki’s character wasn’t a real villain. He looked like a ghost, something that haunts Yamaneko. The real villain, the one who really made you scream “THAT’S A NASTY ONE” was Katsumura. Clever, insane, yet not Narimiya’s best villain. We all know how good is Narimiya at playing the bad guy role. Suzu Hirose’s character was irrelevant. A genius young hacker with a cold yet good personality who just want to stuck with Yamaneko to finally have a proper family. That was a clique. She was boring, her personality was not well written. This drama had some good points, a really funny comedy scenes but, also, it had a lot of black holes. I’ll making a simple example. Let’s talk about Yamaneko’s past. Totally massed up. I think the audience had some hard times while trying to understand what the hell was his reasons to take revenge on that masked creepy ghost. Sure, he was betrayed by the one who rose him. Sure, he wanted to make Japan great again. But why? Why was his trying so hard to heal a country that didn’t asked to be healed? He was so obsessed with Bushido, yet he didn’t actually follow the Bushido’s philosophy. I wanted him to commit suicide in the end, just like betrayed samurais do. Even if the plot was lacking some points, I still think that this drama proved once again that Kamenashi is actually a pretty good character. Maybe Yameneko reminded me a bit to much of god Yato from Noragami manga but still it was a good watch.
