Plots(1)
The assassination of the head of the Lovelace family in Venezuela sets his maid, a former terrorist named Roberta, on a bloodthirsty quest for revenge. The search for the culprits leads her to Roanapur, causing a massive commotion in Thailand. Garcia, heir of the Lovelace legacy and someone who regards Roberta as a precious family member, also travels to Roanapur, wanting to make a deal with the Lagoon Company. (Crunchyroll)

Story-wise utter nonsense, but here it was purely fan service for fans of the previous 2 seasons. We kind of got something of everything in the familiar main and supporting characters of Roanapur, and the minutes we’d been lacking of the local iron maiden Roberta were made up for. And honestly, it was nothing special. It's not that I wasn't looking forward to Roberta, because we already know from Season 1 that if anyone can stop Revy, it's this cleaning lady from Colombia. But they didn't need to make her an off-the-leash bulletproof monster with no direction, bouncing between a psych ward, an orphanage, and a minefield. Rock did give us a welcome "hardening" (er, I mean mentally), but the kiddies were already more than extraneous in such a shallow plot. A rambling, disjointed one-off action delight with a hefty dose of pills.
