That's not true, there really is nothing between the lines, its a speculation that there is romantic interest,I've already seen the cultural differences, I think this is dependent on what the viewer thinks, and I think you should see how badly Revy gets teased by Eda, this anger can very easily be interpreted as just anger, also due to the fact that Eda even gets physical when teasing.

?
I dunno how to revert stuff on wikipedia but the descriptions about Ginji and Chaka that were added on january 9th seem a little too rich with opinion.
-kaizen
- I didn't revert them, but I pulled out most (I think) of the subjective additions to Ginji and all of them for Chaka, as well as the latter's death. If someone wants to add that detail back in, feel free. --BrokenSphere 19:45, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
No info on the Nazis?
They're in a 3 episode arc. Sure they're Nazis, but why exclude them on those grounds? Even minor characters like Chin and Luak who make one shot appearances have entries on here. --BrokenSphere 17:23, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
They're in now. Just one thing about the old Nazis on the submarine, the SS guy is described as being part of the SD. His hat bears the emblem of Waffen SS Division Totenkopf. Is he a member of both at the same time? --LordHoborgXVII 15:54, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
- All SS officers had the death's head insignia on their caps. If any soldier/officer was a member of a Waffen-SS division, this would be indicated by a cuff title on their left sleeve. This guy has the SD diamond patch on his left sleeve above the cuff, and the SD was the intelligence branch of the SS, so someone could be a member of both organizations. --BrokenSphere 18:30, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
Marijuana or Opium ?
It currently states that Leigharch smokes a lot of Marijuana, but is this true? I think his hallucinations, Rock's reaction, and Leigharch's overdose are indicators that he is actually smoking Opium. I made no changes to the article, but think the reference to Marijuana is an error.
Revy's Guns
Has it ever proven that Revy's weapons actually have threaded barrels with thread protectors on?
I'm just tempted to change it to something along the lines of "with extended barrels" as this could cover either case, unless of course at some point in the manga we find out that they are indeed threaded with thread protectors.
Otherwise, saying the above would really fall under speculation IMO.

Hell, they're not even chrome plated (you never chrome plate firearms anyways, they're nickle plated unless it's a custom job). Her "Beretta 92F"s are stainless steel, and the extra barrel length is a thread protector which protects the threads on the barrel for a silencer. Look up Beretta 92F Inox and Silencers.
--Tacticalvirus 05:45, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
Revy's Playachat Beretta M92 Sword Cutlass Customs is basicly M92s with barrel and slide extended 1cm each. Not a thread protector.

First of all, they're Beretta 92Fs (plural, not 92FSs), there's no such thing as an "M92", "M9" was its designation in the U.S. Military. Second of all, yes, those are thread protectors, when you just swap in a longer barrel you don't have the seam that's always drawn on her pistols. I'm sure five minutes on google will get you a clear picture of the difference.
Tacticalvirus 05:23, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
Lets see, well, it appears that they have thread protectors, but I don´t get why, because Revy never used silencers with them, and she´s not someone who would use silencers. And about M92, and abbreviation of Mod(el) 92, which reads on the right side of the slide?
TheOtus 22:07, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
The thing about the M92 is semantics, but in the case of Beretta, it's always refered to as 92X, 96X, etc. Common practice in the gun world is to use the M designation only when talking about military weapons, i.e.: M9, M1911. This came to pass because of military naming procedures, where they shortened things like "Automatic Pistol, Caliber .45, Model of 1911" to M1911 for common useage. Civilian retailers drop the M to distinguish their product from military surplus/grade arms. As for the thread protectors, it does seem very odd. The whole idea of silencers runs counter to Revy's personality, yet I don't see her getting a cheap hackjob barrel extension. If someone of her calibre was going to customize a pistol, she'd have it done properly. Plus if the slide and barrel were extended 1cm(again not something that's done, barrel/slide swaps are usually in multiple inches) the proportion of the muzzle to the slide would have stayed the same.

The barrels of Revy's Beretta's look to have supressor lugs on them.Thus it is most likely that whoever made those custom pistols put supressor capable barrels on the pistols. Paulwharton (talk) 02:58, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
1995?
It says Rock joined the Black Lagoon crew in 1995.. where does this year come from?
About Eda of the church of violence...
Hi everyone I'm basically a lurker, but I just wanted to point out something. Please remove this sentence from Eda's biography --> "She also makes confusing statements about "not having balls since she was born"." I just watched the scene where she said it (episode 15 of black lagoon), and the reason why she said it was because Revy said "who do you think saved you from having your balls ripped of by hotel moscow?" IMHO her comment was basically just a pwning of Revy, since being a girl she really wouldn't have balls that hotel moscow will rip off, right? Please remove it, as it gives an impression of Eda being a transvestite or something. thanks! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 124.106.208.118 (talk) 08:19, 11 March 2007 (UTC).
- I removed it, but in the future you should just remove it yourself. Look for the edit link, and click on it. - Peregrine Fisher 08:22, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
Justification for edits 4/9/2007
I'm just opening a discussion on this to preemptively avoid having to play edit wars.
The most recent edits by 70.187.202.223 seemed a little out of place, so I ran a few lines through google and returned a link to http://www.herogames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=54639 this website. The text had been lifted directly from that page, needless to say it is inappropriate for Wikipedia on a number of levels.

Rock 'Stockholm Syndrome'
Rock, from joining the Lagoon company, has exhibited Stockholm Syndrome after sneering at Kageyama for not saving him.
Might this not have more to do with Asahi Industries trying to kill him? Of course, Rock has exhibited signs of Stockholm Syndrome, but the attempted assasination seems to have contributed more to his refusal to return to Asahi.

Article Sounds Like A Fanpage
A lot of this article sounds like a transposition from a fan group or webpage. Requesting edits to use more technical and encyclopedic language. Example "The Triad are pretty cool and collected" seems too informal for an encyclopedia.
Incorrect Information
I changed some things that were written about the last episode of the anime, the anime doesn't end with Revy and Eda about to get into a gunfight, then I changed some other things about the Revy and Rock relationship because there is no implication that they have ever been together once not in the anime or in the manga. —Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|Drakes97 (talk) 12:15, 25 June 2008 (UTC)]] comment added by Drakes97 (talk • contribs) 12:05, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
Revy and Rock Relationship
I changed the part of the article about the implication of Revy being attracted to Rock and getting jealous when Eda makes advances towards him because it seems more like anger due to Eda's teasing then jealousy, their relationship doesn't seem to be like that at least not at the moment.Drakes97 (talk) 16:30, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
