@kujoe: Hei-tachi work for a mysterious Brazilian organization, so that's where their allegiances are. For all intents and purposes, you could consider them undercover secret agents working in a semi-hostile environment. |

The Commissar Vanishes

They are working for something called simply Organization (or Syndicate in the fansubs). According to some staff interviews, Organization hails from Brazil.
BTW, Hei's nationality is yet undetermined. His alias is that he's from China and I assume that he belongs to the Mongoloid race to pass for a Chinese (though, who knows?), it's yet unknown if he really is Chinese. The creators of the show are pointedly vague on this subject. |

I've really enjoyed this arc. Not least Hei being truly mean and badass. I kind of liked Carmine. Shame.
I've love seeing Brits in anime; inaccuracies and stereotypes are often a great source of amusement though DtB avoided the obvious, though July did look like he'd shine your boots for a farthing. I must admit seeing April swigging Guinness was hilarious. Not as great as seeing the freaking MI5 building at the end of ep 6! I walk passed there every day (over the Vauxhall bridge), on my way to work, lol. It's a pretty accurate rendition too |

Wao, thanks for that information and the scans. Gives me a little advance time to do some digging on those Cantonese names...
I have to admit that the Brazil thing is unintentionally funny to me at the moment, having only recently completed Shadow Hearts: From the New World, which features a Ninja from the... uh, Brazilian ninja village called Brazeel. Ah, and I'm glad, also, that we weren't the only ones to find at least a passing resemblence to Storm; we even had a Havoc, though no energy powers, sadly. |

Huang is always rude with Hei. He under estimate him all the time, I kind of have the feeling that Huang is a bad guy a he is against Hei a Yin (i also watch an image in the official site of Hei embracing Yin, like protecting her for something).
Spoiler for Hei retribution:

huang is certainly a realist, or maybe a pessimist, but i'm not really sure where the "bad guy" vibes come from. he goes by the book as a normal operating member of the organization, and hei runs completely counter to that notion by going off on his own, killing or not killing people, following his own agenda which only mostly coincides with that of the organization. from huang's own perspective, he has every reason to be angry with hei, and considering his age, it's not surprising that he has a low opinion of contractors, who as a whole don't seem to have been around that long. he's no saint, that's for sure, and acts according to rules and prejudices, but he's not "evil" or a typical "bad guy." he may cross hei in a more dramatic fashion later on, but it won't be a black-and-white encounter.
