From coldhearted assassins to gun-toting nuns to super-soldier maids, the series has no shortage of strong female characters - in terms of both fighting prowess and character depth. Of course, like Kill Bill, Revy and Balalaika are far from the only deadly women in the Black Lagoon cast. The dynamic between Rock and Revy is in some ways reminiscent of Jules and Vincent - one partner is filled with doubt over whether to live as a criminal or an honest man, while the other feels resigned to a life of crime.

Black Lagoon is similar in tone to Pulp Fiction as a story of professional criminals who find themselves in one misadventure after another, blending offbeat comedy with over-the-top violence and surprisingly potent emotional drama.
And sure enough, it’s easy to see the resemblance.
Series creator Rei Hiroe has often brought up Tarantino as a major influence on his own work, along with Robert Rodriguez and John Woo. But there’s one Hollywood director in particular whose work Black Lagoon closely resembles: Quentin Tarantino. It’s far from a typical anime, having much more in common with John Wick or Fight Club than My Hero Academia or Jujutsu Kaisen. Though Black Lagoon has no shortage of over-the-top fight scenes - usually with Revy at the center of the action - it lacks any fantastical or supernatural elements, instead choosing to portray a dark, gritty underworld of crime and bloodshed.
