YMMV / Release the Spyce

• Complete Monster: Kurara Tendō, aka Sparrow Woman, is a high-ranking member of the Moryo organization and the Tsukikage's most personal foe. Introduced torturously experimenting on her own subordinates with a pain-inducing drug, Tendō is revealed to have masterminded a drug-smuggling ring and a brothel that kidnaps and forces women to serve as prostitutes. As she aims to take down Tsukikage, Tendō ruthlessly mutates and uses her followers as suicide bombers, killing conspirators who object to her callous plans or fail her. Brainwashing the population of a city district, Tendō aims for it to fall into anarchy as her drugs make the people insanely violent. In the past, it is revealed that Tendō had traumatized one of the Tsukikage members, Yuki Hanzomon, by killing her mentor and scarring her eye. While trying to escape capture from the Tsukikage, Tendō again torments Yuki by cutting her, forcing Yuki's pupil to watch. Planning to take her brainwashing program to a global scale with "Project Gekkako", Tendō intends to reduce the entire world to a mess of violent, unstable people, just for her own evil experiments.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: People were referencing the "The spice must flow!" meme from Dune as soon as the series was announced. Then, when the first episode premiered, it turned out that the titular spice granted superhuman physical abilities.
• I Knew It!: While her rather abrupt and surprisingly violent reveal as The Mole did catch a lot of fans off guard, the subsequent reveal that Mei was actually a Fake Defector surprised absolutely no one.
• Suspiciously Similar Song: THE SPYCE LOADED was clearly copied from Propellerheads' "Spybreak".
