Samurai Flamenco episode 10 has the whole fight between King Torture and Samurai Flamenco. In this episode we find out that King Torture became a villain because like Samurai Flamenco, he was obsessed with hero shows. Unlike Samurai Flamenco he was interested in the villains and worked towards becoming a villain. King Torture believes that the heroes are all alone and will never achieve their dream of true peace. That is funny because the villains usually do not achieve what they want either, so King Torture should know that his dream could be futile as well.
The background for King Torture’s henchmen assumes the viewer will believe that all the henchmen were volunteers. What exactly would King Torture be recruiting them for? They all would have to be interested in evil or the freedom to do whatever bad thing they want.
They would also have to want it enough to die for it. Did he just pick suicidal people that wanted to take people down with them? Seems a bit off when it comes to Guillotine Gorilla because the guys seemed reluctant to transform and do his work for the group. At least they explained how all these monsters had to undergo surgery to become that way. It is farfetched, but not as much as them just randomly appearing in a normal setting.
King Torture says he went through lots of trouble even more than Samurai Flamenco to achieve his dream. Makes sense since most of it involves science. Samurai Flamenco had a lot of it handed to him by friends. With all the work that King Torture put into becoming a villain it seems weird that he just sat around and twiddled his thumbs until a hero showed up. We have to wonder if Samurai Flamenco will feel a bit responsible for all this since King Torture would not have come on the scene without him to fight against.
This episode feels like it should have been the end of the show, but it is supposed to be two cours long. I hope the second cour brings out a better villain or it will seem pointless. King Torture felt tailor made for Samurai Flamenco since he was the same as him only idolizing the villain.
King Torture impaled nearby, but these two only have eyes for each other.
