Loved it loved it loved
All loose ends tied up perfect pacing you felt the pressure and tension
But it never felt rushed
Only had ONE ISSUE
the source of the FBI leak story. Didn't like that he just made up with one friend now he got beef with the other. I get it its fine. But maybe I would have had that be still a question for now or at least the audience kinda nows and so dies he but Jake never admits it.
Jake ain't even notice when Mitzaki left.
If this don't get ANY Emmy nominations???
these 2 had great chemistry on screen
If Hollywood doesn't make this guy a damn star?????
If they really want to do Shang Chi and Iron Fist etc?
YOU NEED TO CAST HIM AS A LEAD VILLIAN

Season 3
Episode 9 - 10
Watched these this morning.
Tozawa Ol’ Lady, that broad is made it clear she gonna take his Ass down reminding him where his money is coming from. Hagino her driver is fully loyal to her and is helping her.
Tozawa sent in that killl team to take out Tin-Tin and Sato. Those apprentices with Sato stood up and was loyal with baseball bats against guns. Sato is gonna have to make those cats Made Men now.
Yabuki, I thought that cat was smart enough not to grab the gun on the bed after using a handkerchief to open the door, shit was a clear obvious setup and he took the bait.
Was not expecting Tozawa to go down that quickly, I was expecting him to go out with some one killing him.
Kato made it to Oyabun, I thought it would be awhile for that to happen.
Hopefully we get a season 3.
MAX showed the trailer for a new Asian limited series before the season finale aired.

The cats in those White running suits are apprentices.
They just mainly do stupid errand boy shit like cooking, cleaning and laundry, paying their dues and proving their worth/loyaty.
They don’t have access to lethal weapons while in apprenticeship or had any training.

Fingers crossed for a season 3 in the future.
Definitely a well-done sophomore season. If they've got ideas for more of the same ... I'm all for it.
Agreed. When my pops was watching, any time the black suits arrived he'd be like - "Ah man, the guys in the track suits are fucked!"
lol
How ‘Tokyo Vice’ Captured More of Japan’s Capital City on Camera Than Any TV Show Has Before
From "courtesy gifts" for the locals to avoiding run-ins with the yakuza, the team behind Max's neo-noir hit did whatever it took to secure some of the city's most elusive locations: "The only way to work here is to assuage every concern.”

Feds charge Japanese Yakuza leader with nuclear materials trafficking
Federal prosecutors in New York said they charged a Japanese Yakuza leader with conspiring to traffic nuclear materials from Burma to other countries.
Prosecutors said the accused gangster, Takeshi Ebisawa, "and his confederates showed samples of nuclear materials in Thailand" to an undercover agent from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration".
A U.S. nuclear forensic laboratory later analyzed the samples and confirmed that the samples contain uranium and weapons-grade plutonium," the U.S. Attorney's Office in Manhattan said.
