Leaps and bounds better than the horrendous seventh movie

Even if this time around Oryu doesn't do much of Gambling and she acts fully in her role as a Yakuza leader amongst other Yakuza leaders (mind you, this is still NOT the businesswoman of the fourth movie), but there are indeed a couple of gambling scenes at the very start and that's ok. The bit of well-done drama other reviewers point out is not particularly a problem, on the contrary it only adds to the movie. No comic-book stuff like the idiotic deus-ex machina of her all-knowing Yakuza brother-in-law of the previous movie, no feeling of extreme tiredness shown from Junko Fuji in the final fight (on the contrary, she looks well-spirited), this movie just flows well from start to finish. It's not the best of the saga, mind you (I still think the sixth steals the show in all possible regards in that sense), but considering what my expectation were all in all I'm pretty satisfied. A good ending to an entertaining saga with a beautiful, charming and kickass female lead, some disappointing and out-of-tone bits permitted. Thanks to the Sukeban Deka II fansubs for pointing me out to this!
