City Hunter: Difference between revisions

Ryo Saeba is a "sweeper" (combination hitman/private eye) who uses his [[Improbable Aiming Skills]] and all-round [[Badass|Badassery]] to deal with crime in Tokyo. He also happens to be a loony [[Chivalrous Pervert]].

 

 

Ryo Saeba is an apparent orphan who was brought up in a war-torn village in Central America. At a young age, he was [[Playing with Syringes|used as a test subject]] for a unique LSD derivative which resulted in him developing [[Super Reflexes]]. He trained these reflexes as a guerilla in that country's civil war before escaping to the United States and thence to Japan. In Japan, he teamed up with former police detective Hideyuki Makimura to form the "City Hunter" sweeper agency; ostensibly, he's a [[Private Detective]], but will go further for certain clients - he's also a [[Hitman with a Heart]].

For the [[Korean Drama]] of the same name, see ''[[The City Hunter|City Hunter]]''.

* [[A-Team Firing]]: Kaori, despite in some episodes is armed with [[Small Girl, Big Gun|everything]] [[More Dakka|but the kitchen sink]], can never hit a single baddie. The Manga establishes this when Ryo secretly had Kaori's gun adjusted so each shot would hit wide of the mark, therefore ensuring that she never gets her hands bloodied in this business.
