The new arc looks like it's going to get really nasty, really fast.

It's going to be one hell of a shitstorm. Everyone is on a different side of things with the Lagoon Company right in the middle. Where does Eda stand? It also seemed that Yolanda wasn't directly associated with the CIA the way Eda is, more like very well payed to tolerate her presence within the Church of Violence.

I wonder what Revy felt in Fabiola's hand when she helped her out of the car though. Did she feel strength in her trigger finger, or something else, maybe even from Revy's past? I did look up some info on the sawed-off Mag-7's that Fabiola uses.

Some regard these as safety features, saying that the risk of negligent discharge is reduced, but both defeat the purpose of "off-hand" firing. Another issue that plagued the MAG-7 was the 17 pound-force (7.7 kgf, 76 N)) single-stage trigger pull which caused accuracy to suffer and made snapshooting more difficult as well.
That means that Fabiola is using a pair of shotguns in the most disadvantaged manner possible. That alone proves how formidable she is. Maybe not quite up to the level of Roberta, but right behind her. So it seems likely that Revy felt the incredible power in Fabiola's trigger fingers.

Speaking of Roberta, I'm a little worried about her. The pills she keeps sucking down are Ritalin of all things, and she's probably going insane. But, the new outfit disguises her and makes her surprisingly attractive.

Then there was that scene with Revy and Rock talking about why she follows him into the shitstorms he keeps getting himself into. I guess they really are going to be going for that angle with the story.

I'd really love to see this arc animated. The omake where all the cast were younger was really funny too. Eda was a cheerleader
