A former Olympic marksman is hired by a Broadway producer to kill his wheelchair bound mentor. The mentor in turn hires Golgo 13 to assassinate his protege moments before the hit on his own head to be performed. Guess who wins.
This episode has the most outrageous hit of the series so far, and a lot the episode is spent giving clues as to how Golgo will kill the protege. You’ll likely put it together before it happens, and so you get a sense of satisfaction when you realise how he’s going to do the deed. Also during this, we learn that Golgo has a forensic scientist on call.
The rest of the episode details the relationship between the two targets/employees. The mentor character seems to be based somewhat on real life Broadway producer, David Merrick.
One of the better episodes so far, a nice mix of culture-specific international jetsetting flavour (making up for the lack of time-specific current event riffing that manga does so well) and an audacious hit.
