| Overview: | A bold kidnapping foreshadows a desperate plan by the lusty female leader of a deadly army of mercenaries. It is simple: transform Freeman-the enigmatic leader of the powerful crime syndicate The 108 Dragons-into a mindless "killing machine" fueled by desire and self-indulgence. Once again Freeman is forced to fight for his life, this time against combat-hardened "Gladiators".
Later, Freeman must ferret out a traitor bent on destroying The 108 Dragons. Freeman's final pulse-pounding battle is bracketed by a bitter-sweet journey of enlightenment punctuated by vice, violence and vengeance.
A faithful adaptation of the Manga written by Kazuo Koike ("Lone Wolf And Cub"), and drawn by Ryoichi Ikegami ("Mai, The Psychic Girl"), "Crying Freeman" is a striking example of mature storytelling told through stylish animation.
Includes 2 complete episodes.
