That's gonna hurt.
In this episode, we are in London in which we met a British violinist named Thomas Simpson who is playing with the London Symphony Orchestra. After his first play, he had an encore in which our plot revolves. He broke his violin’s G-string, humiliating himself and caused a psychological trauma in him that prevented him to play in front of a crowd.
Because of this, a Russian violinist named Kerensky replaced him in a charity concert due to his problem in playing. Since he was his rival according to his opinion, he asked Golgo 13 to humiliate him… by hitting the G-string on his violin. Wow. What a weird request. At the end of the episode, Golgo did hit the G-string but Kerensky kept his cool and continued playing using the D-string. Poor Simpson, he was more humiliated after seeing Kerensky kept his cool.
On to the review, aside from learning more about music and about the violin, we learn about how precise Golgo is. Sure, we saw his precision in the previous episodes, but this. This is crazy. He was able to hit the G-string without breaking the violin, making it clean giving the impression the Kerensky actually broke the G-string and no sniper did it.
On target, an innocent violin.
When Kotomi’s violin playing skills debut on TV5, and incidentally, Golgo 13 is still being aired, there is one comment I read on the internet that says, “Someone hire Golgo 13 and asked him to hit Kotomi’s G-string!” To those who don’t know, Kotomi’s violin playing skills can cause the world to burn to make it more specific, it will cause your ears to bleed, worse than Megumi of Speical A’s singing in a short distance. Now I understand what he feels. I think I should do a Photoshop image of Golgo hitting Kotomi’s violin… *Starts his evil plan.*
