YMMV / Special 7: Special Crime Investigation Unit

Go To

  • Anvilicious: The series is a little heavy-handed with regards to the idea that there is no justice worth the sacrifice of innocent people.
  • Complete Monster: Warlock is the magician leader of the terrorist group "(Children of) Nine", and a dragon who holds mortal species in contempt. Having led a terrorist attack on an airport in Tokyo which killed many people, Warlock had taken a young Seiji Nanatsuki captive, intending to use him in a ritual; when Detective Luka Mizuma had interfered, Warlock had retaliated by breaking Luka's spirit and threatening his brother, Kujaku Nijo. Nine years later, Warlock orchestrates multiple crimes. When Nanatsuki, now a Detective, and his partner Shiori Ichinose, interfere in his machinations, Warlock has the explosives expert "B" plant bombs in three office buildings, using magic seals to amplify the blast radius, while distracting the bomb squad to prevent them from interfering. After Warlock's manipulations prompt B to attempt child murder as a sacrifice, Warlock has Nine personnel take a mall hostage, resulting in the deaths of multiple security personnel. When Special 7 engages the terrorists, Warlock sacrifices them to summon a dragon in an attempt to take out Special 7 and the hostages. In his final confrontation with Special 7, as well as the disgruntled Luka, Warlock proclaims that his power gives him license to do whatever he wants, before trying to eliminate the team.
