Highschool of the Dead 4

much of the episode was a recap and a brief summary of what exactly has happened in the town. From the moment Takashi saw the mysterious man outside the school gate till when both Rei and him were separated from the group.

Riding on the motorcycle, Takashi stops by on the road and Rei asks him if he think anyone is coming to save them which Takashi replies blindly that there isn't going to be any help at all. Rei however hates him for putting it so straightforward and spotting a group of incoming zombies, Takashi restarts the engine and leaves the scene. Meanwhile, Shizuka-sensei and the others were still stuck in the bus, waiting to cross the bridge due to tight barricades from the police, potentially keeping the zombies away. Rei and Takashi now passes through the towns, having mixed feelings are seeing no one was left and even if they had become one of the zombies, they were most probably already gone looking for more victims. The town has already become dead quiet and blood splattered all over the place. Then, the duo spots the headlight of a police car and thinking that they might have found some form of rescue, the police car was however, already smashed from behind by a truck to their dismay. The policemen in the car weren't spared either. Takashi warns Rei that there might be gas leaking out of the vehicle but Rei isn't going to let that bother her and goes to search for some things that could possibly help them. Together, they manage to recover a hand pistol with all 5 bullets intact and also 5 extra bullets from another policeman's damaged pistol. Takashi decides no to throw away the bat for now since he has never fired a shot before but couldn't deny the fact that he did felt more safe after acquiring the pistol. Leaving the scene, there wasn't much gas left for the motorbike and the duo heads for the gas station. Takashi was however unable to pump gas in since he does not have any spare change and after Rei tells him that he's the worst, Takashi dragged Hisashi back into the picture which Rei is trying desperately to forget. Takashi then quickly changed the subject and asks Rei to lend him some money for the gas but she didn't have her wallet with her, which in turn led to Takashi having to break the cash register in the store to top up their gas. At the same time, Rei lets out a scream which made Takashi run out and sees a man holding Rei tightly and a blade at her neck, prompting Takashi not to move. The man himself has already lost his mind after he had smashed the skulls of his family members after they had all became zombies in front of them and after looking at Rei, he couldn't resist the urge to do something to her in this already wayward world. Seeing how Rei is suffering, Takashi does what the man tells him to do and refuels his motorbike, but before doing so, he threw his baseball bat onto the ground, causing the echoed sound to attract the nearby zombies. After topping up the gas, Takashi turns back to the man who urges him to scram but when Takashi saw an opening, he rushed forward and points his pistol onto the man's shoulder and tells him that it would be impossible to miss. The man however dared him to shoot which Takashi eventually did and shot him point-blank at his shoulder. Rei escapes from his clutches and was stopped by Takashi when she wanted to take revenge on the man as she already noticed from Takashi that they had already created quite some noise and groups of zombies were already heading this way. The duo then leaves on their motorbike, leaving the injured man totally defenseless towards the incoming bloodthirsty predators.

it was rather true that no one was really going to help them at all since preventing the spread of the virus could and most possibly would be every country's mission. reliving the scenes from the beginning of the whole commotion really did make the world looks like it had already ended and streets were all filled with them, bloodthirsty and merciless zombies. Obtaining some firepower is indeed good but with nine bullets left, i doubt Rei and Takashi could last long, perhaps they could regroup with the others before they run out of ammo too. How this series is going to end really does interest me though...

*oh and just a note, the first defeat of BRS as shown in the OVA was probably depicting how she actually got her scars
