Chang that she does not possess his level of skill but hopes to attain it eventually. Her weapons of choice are a pair of modified Beretta 92FS's; which are made out of stainless steel and had their barrels extended from 4.

They are engraved with the words "9mm Sword Cutlass" on both sides, the Jolly Roger of the pirate Calico Jack which is also inlaid into the ivory grips , and a manufacture inscription in Thai.

Die drei haben es nur auf die CD mit Plänen für Atomwaffen abgesehen, die Rokuro dabei hat und wollen mit seiner Entführung noch etwas Lösegeld rausschlagen.

Die Firma interessiert sich aber nicht für das Schicksal von Rokuro, der sich inzwischen mit seinen Entführern angefreundet hat, und entsendet eine handvoll Söldner um Rokuro und die Piraten auszulöschen.

Durch eine rettende Idee von Rokuro werden die Söldner getötet und die Piraten, beeindruckt von seiner Leistung, nehmen ihn in die Crew der "Black Lagoon" auf.

Fortan nennt er sich Rock und erfüllt für die Lagoon Company Aufträge für die Mafia und verschiedene Verbrechersyndikate.

Okajima Rokuro - now known almost exclusively as 'Rock' - was once a typical, put-upon Japanese businessman. Then, on a routine business trip, he was kidnapped and ransomed by the Lagoon Company: a band of mercenary pirates operating out of the crime-riddled city of Roanapur.

Abandoned by his bosses, he joined the Lagoon Company. Now he must try and stay afloat amongst the ever-shifting politics of the criminal underworld, while simultaneously avoiding death at the hands of his quick-tempered, gun-toting co-worker, 'Two Hand' Revy.

Gli avvenimenti narrati nella serie seguono inoltre il reclutamento nella squadra di Rock, un impiegato giapponese che viene usato inconsapevolmente dalla propria compagnia per loschi affari.

However, the first volume was eventually released in August After being released individually, with volume one having a limited edition version containing a steelbook box that comes with a bonus disc with slots for all 3 volumes, the boxset of the entire first season was released December 30, The fourth extra feature disc, available in the season one box set or the volume one steelbook edition, has a 15 minute behind the scenes with the English crew and voice actors, the "Red Fraction" music video performed by Mell, promotional videos, the creditless opening and ending, and Japanese opening.

Black Lagoon includes a considerable amount of graphic violence , often involving violent gun fights and spectacular physical feats in battle.

Many of the characters who are most skilled with weapons mainly guns are women, thereby bearing a similarity with " girls-with-guns " genre with the six strongest women in the series adhering to some type of stereotype dragon lady , maids, nuns, etc.

Some of the scenes and dialogue are within the realm of dark comedy , as humorous moments occur or are mentioned during and after many violent battles.

Examples include Revy making fun of Garcia about Roberta, as she is a maid, until she finds out the hard way that Roberta is what Garcia claims.

Also, Revy intentionally starting a gun battle between Fabiola and the Cartel, in addition, laughing at Bao and a Cartel member playing tug-o-war over a telephone while a violent gun battle is exploding just on the other side of the bar counter.

Another moment is Shenhua and Revy playing a game of Rock, Paper, Scissor to see who will kill first; Revy then whines like a child when she loses.

The character concept, gritty atmosphere and violence blending with black comedy depicted in Black Lagoon pays a homage to the films by Quentin Tarantino and the Coen Brothers.
