literally just an idol anime plot
"oh no the power is out now the show can't go on"
"oh no the power is out now the show can't go on"
and then after pop works up her courage to take the stage solo it cuts to this
i can't believe they aired this filth on daytime television, i had to censor this just to upload
the hard cut from a man dying a back alley and the roaches making a move on his corpse to a lovingly animated idol song and dance number is the single most vigilantes moment possible
also @coolboymew this is unquestionably an idol anime now you're stuck watching it

and then as soon as the idol part finishes, hard cut to a woman missing an eye with a ruined right arm limping down an alleyway leaving a trail of blood
the use of light here is deliberate: she's in the shadows looking at the light both metaphorically and physically. the entire series uses this visual metaphor constantly. knuckleduster is fell deeper in shadows to drag her back to the light

There are fewer rules yes, but there is less violence overall as everyone quickly figures out their place in the pecking order.
In normal society extreme violence is always present, even for small mistakes.
Run through a red light or bother a woman in the park, a simple call amd the swat in on you with military grade equipment, arresting you for years or shooting you dead if you try to escape or negotiate.
anyway
i mentioned last week that vigilantes gets some value-add if you watched mha, this is one of those rare moments. the drugs and equipment knuckleduster uses comes from the same underground dealer that the main villain in MHA uses for the first few seasons. helps reinforce that the dark half of society isn't villains being bad guys, it's just "a half of society." one with fewer rules and more violence.
