Viewing Notes

Was expecting DKU to program these films w/the recent release of SHIN KR but thought it would be sooner. Ofc I was all in to view these movies again and if I owned this I’m sure it would be in my top ten most viewed by now.

Every viewing something else stands out to me. This time I was amused that KR1 & KR2 take a small boat to the Shocker island base and somehow have room for their motorcycles. LOL (has KR2 been taking a boat back to the island base every time he gets his blood transfusion??? How does he continue to live when he defies Shocker and stops getting his transfusions?? So many questions)

Asuka is such a dummy throughout this and I kinda wish she was transformed at the end rather than saved… esp. bc she doesn’t return in THE NEXT. I do love how Ichimonji is such a dick that it would be so obvious to anyone that he is not her savior / hero. They should’ve did a better job working in the lab assistant to stir up more jealousy and whatnot.
