Warrior Season 3 Episode 9 Review: All of Death is Going Home

As occasions unfold, the hope of seeing the Tongs united retains dimming.

There was a serious shift within the narrative on Warrior Season 3 Episode 9 as many characters made strikes, shifting the story in a wholly new path.

Warrior Season 3 teased alliances, however what unfolded right here couldn’t be farther from that evaluation.

We’ll start firstly, and that is with Lai at Douglas’s place.

I believed that Lai was working with Ah Toy to convey down Douglas, however after she attacked him, I rapidly realized how mistaken I used to be.

A sword struggle ensued that noticed Douglas emerge on high, which did not sit effectively. How was a businessman who spends most of his time in conferences and raining holy hell on individuals stronger than a martial artwork skilled who was like a killing machine?

We had by no means seen Douglas in a sword struggle earlier than, so we had no prior data about his abilities and needed to take what was provided. It appeared unrealistic that he bested her, however possibly because of his age, he had extra expertise. And that is an enormous possibly.

Mayor Blake provided Big Bill the job of the brand new Chief of Police, and boo!

No one was extra disillusioned when Bill was handed over for chief than I used to be on Warrior Season 3 Episode 2, and I hoped he would possibly get the chance once more, however this was not how I figured it will go.

He mainly bullied his approach into the job, and people few weeks away had made him a wholly completely different individual. He won’t be the sincere man we had come to rely on, which is not very reassuring.

The solely hope is that he seems to be the nice previous Bill and continues doing good, particularly in Chinatown. That’ll save many lives.

Also, Atwood ought to return for payback, however I would not maintain my breath.

Ah Sahm made a radical selection and toyed with the concept of working away with Yan Mi, and oh, was that so silly of him.

It would lastly give Young Jun the excuse he’d been in search of to hunt Ah Sahm down, and it is uncertain there is a spot Ah Sahm may run to the place they will not discover him.

If Lee hid from his Aunt Violet, Ah Sahm may conceal from the Hop Wei. The outdoors world is unkind to the Chinese, so he may run to so many locations.

Mai Ling, Father Jun, and Ah Toy tried it and returned with their tails tucked between their legs.

I am unable to inform you that what’s on the market is higher. It wasn’t for me. Maybe it is time to discover out for your self.

Ah Toy

The complete Ah Sahm and Yan Mi factor got here out of nowhere. Maybe it is how love is, but it surely was additionally a clutch for Ah Sahm.

He’d been in search of an excuse to get out of the tong and safe his independence, and Yan Mi was a wonderful cause for it.

He would possibly love her or not. But he was achieved for primarily based on how he checked out her at Mai Ling’s wedding ceremony on Warrior Season 3 Episode 8.

In his rush to determine, he made a foul determination and trusted the final individual anybody ought to belief in Chinatown. Wang Chao will at all times look out for Wang Chao.

He gave up his plans, and Chao did not hesitate to disclose them on the earliest alternative. I puzzled when Happy Jack’s individuals would come for revenge, and that day arrived.

The larger they’re, the tougher they fall. The mighty Long Zii Tong was crumbling below Mai Ling.

In just a few days, she went from having probably the most highly effective tong in Chinatown to being the weakest. Killing the elders and Kong Pak was a big blunder. It drove even probably the most loyal Li Yong away.

Mai Ling was remoted. Anyone may come after her; figuring out how the tong thoughts thinks, they already have been.

So lengthy that tong union.

If Young Jun had not been preoccupied with Father Jun, he might need ambushed Mai Ling.

Father Jun had grow to be the emotional anchor for Young Jun in his previous couple of days on earth. That, coupled with the life that they had shared earlier than we joined them within the first season, was sufficient to make Young Jun unstable.

Father Jun might be missed. He was one of the few characters within the present who was brazenly sincere. He would inform it to you prefer it was, and these sorts of persons are laborious to return by.

There’s an previous fable that speaks eloquently to our collective grief as we speak. It tells us that nice knowledge solely comes from nice wrestle. And have been he right here, Father June would inform me to skip the rattling story and get to the purpose in far more colourful language.

Wang Chao

He had the knowledge of an elder and the mouth of a baby.

Hong’s boyfriend broke up with him in different unhappy developments, which was complicated.

This relationship had zero bearing on Hong’s life (aside from making him very blissful), and the confusion was about why it occurred within the first place.

After spending most of the second season as a newcomer to Chinatown, it was an inexpensive expectation that Warrior Season 3 would flesh Hong out as a personality, and getting him right into a relationship was step one.

Yet he spent most of the season laughing at Young Jun’s horrible jokes and saying, “Yes, boss.”

The relationship ended similar to that, with none impression on the storyline. I might have most well-liked one thing like Ah Sahm and Yan Mi and the way it modified the present’s path.

Sometimes we see individuals for who they’re primarily based on how they deal with others. And even after watching Douglas damage different lives, Leary thought he was particular.

And then he met the identical destiny.

Douglas was as gluttonous as they arrive, and his strolling again the promise he made was unsurprising.

Leary: My People want jobs now!
Douglas: Your individuals do half the work for twice the pay. I do not need the Chinese right here any greater than you do. But whereas they’re right here, you higher consider I’m gonna make a greenback off of it. Now, should you completed waving your banner for the Emerald Isle, let’s have a drink. Talk about your future.
Leary: I trusted you, and also you fucked me.

But he had underestimated Leary and the lengths Leary would go to for his individuals. Douglas by no means acquired to satisfy the thug, and he was about to.

Douglas: You actually assume a person like you possibly can ever cease a person like me?
Leary: Men like me are the one ones who can cease males such as you. You’ve acquired all that cash and all of your connections, however when my boots are in your fucking chest, you will break like anybody else.
Douglas: The gangster emerges.
Leary: You’ve by no means met the gangster.

Leary whooped his personal individuals’s asses; what is different individuals to him? It was a pleasure.

Unknowingly, Douglas had made a monster. He’d taught Leary the tips of the commerce, and Leary was already geared up together with his tips.

Someone will lose, and it will not be Leary. The males Douglas had despatched on Warrior Season 3 Episode 8 would attest to it if they may converse.

Hong, Ah Sahm, and Young Jun shared a drink, and it felt like the tip of one thing previous and the start of one thing new. Ah Sahm was seeking to reduce himself out of the Hop Wei. But that was not a restaurant the place one can stroll out and in.

Especially given what Ah Sahm and Yan Mi had achieved.

Young Jun: By the way in which, Hong has a boyfriend. You is not going to stay on the edit.
Ah Sahm: No shit!
Hong: Well, not anymore.
Young Jun: The fuck are you speaking about? What occurred?
Hong: I introduced my work residence with me.
Young Jun: Well, fuck him then.

I discovered the open dialogue about Hong’s relationship shocking. Was China open to queer relationships, or was that modernized for the viewers?

Was one thing misplaced in translation the place Cantonese has gender-neutral phrases for lovers?

“All of Death Is Going Home” was considerably disappointing so far as the story was involved however entertaining nonetheless. When is Warrior not entertaining?

What did you assume of the episode? Let us know within the feedback part.
