flashback to part of blade gunnblade’s tragic past, from kapow-i gogo z, episode vii: the world’s martial arts tournament saga: part one: the penultimate episode: “who is blade gunnblade?”

(not a performance of asia kate dillon’s (alex seife, rather), but still pertinent character lore)

(p.s. if you want to avoid seeing anything resembling gore in the least, Don’t Look at 2:30 (actually make that 1:58, if you’re seeing tumblr’s media player progress bar showing the time Remaining in the video rather than the time Elapsed, still two and a half minutes in if the latter), after the killer cyborgs have beat up blade’s wife fran and picked up their baby, until 8 seconds later, when the audible audience reaction has subsided and the “walk / in the rain” chorus has started. if you’re not that sensitive the practical effects are hardly trying to be realistic but it is a bit of a surprisingly gruesome moment, to appropriate tragicomic effect. i thought they were gonna like spike or dropkick that baby offstage or something lol)
