Theirs will be the last ones, Sunny! Nathaniel You'll leave a trail of bodies before you make it back to your family, and theirs will be the last ones. The parting words of Nate might be more than a little ominous, though. Nate's sword will prove to be a very valuable commodity in Sunny's quest to get back into the badlands, for sure. What I didn't see coming was Bajie coming up big again, cutting Nate's hand off in mid-swing!īajie is becoming a great partner to Sunny, and I'm glad he was added to the story.
Nathaniel: I earned this death, and you deny me? Sunny: I'm not going to be your executioner. Nathaniel: I guess this is what I've been searching for-an honorable death. But Sunny, with his soul still intact, refused to kill Nate. Nate even had a jawbone as part of his sword. To my mind, Nate was Cane and Sunny was Abel. There was a biblical element here as well, and it reminded me of the Cane and Abel story. The battle between Nate and Sunny was titanic indeed, with excellent use of super slo-mo. I knew where this was headed between the two after their first discussion, and it didn't disappoint. The writers should work a little harder next time. : It doesn't matter how brutal the world is.Guess I wanted to see if I could make myself whole again, and find some kind of redemption.
It doesn't matter how brutal the world is. It was a painfully obvious counterpoint to Sunny, something that could have been done with a little more subtlety, but if it gives us more insight into Sunny, then that's OK with me.
We get it, Nate's story didn't have a happy ending. Nate's story was intentionally a close parallel to Sunny's predicament (a little too on the nose for me, frankly), and I wish they hadn't made it almost identical.
