Foreshadowing: After meeting Sawa for the first time, Oburi is struck by an errant basketball as he walks by a pair of children playing in an alley.Dirty Cop: Akai and his partner Kanie, who make it a habit of kidnapping and raping young women, as well as training children to be their personal assassins.
Corruption of a Minor: Akai and Kanie are in the business of turning orphaned young children into ruthless assassins-for-hire.(Though for them, it could very well be business as usual.) The two carry on a business conversation as if nothing unusual was happening. Coitus Uninterruptus: Occurs when Akai, concerned about the loyalty of Oburi and Sawa, walks in on Kanie while the latter is raping a young woman in his apartment.Body to Jewel: Akai had some of Sawa's parents' blood fashioned into an earring, which has been her most prized possession ever since.What Liberator doesn't feature is gratuitous rape and sex scenes. Additionally, the sequel features a cameo by Sawa, now all grown up, Older and Wiser waitress colleague of Monaka (and a single mother). There are two primary storylines: one about the older brother of one of Monaka's past targets seeking revenge, and the other about Monaka's astronaut father coming home from space. Kite Liberator follows a new young female assassin named Monaka, who poses as a waitress in a maid cafe and kills criminals as "the Angel of Death" by night (said cafe also serves as the Front Organization). Like Umetzu's similar work Mezzo Forte, it has received three releases in North America: A "General Release" with most of the sexual content removed, a subsequent "Director's Cut" that leaves most of the controversial material intact, and a "Special Edition" that is presented as being totally uncut. Kite is infamous for its extreme violence and depictions of graphic rape, some of which appear to involve victims who are clearly underage. However, Oburi and Sawa soon find out that giving up their current lives will be no easy task, for Akai is not the kind of man that will take "no" for an answer. When she meets her male counterpart, a young man named Oburi who has been trained by Akai's partner "Kanie", Sawa begins to question her role in life and the events that led her there. Holding misguided affection for Akai after he "rescued" her as a child from the scene of her parents murder, Sawa has done his bidding for years without question. Under the pretense of " cleaning up the city" by getting rid of corrupt politicians and child molesters that are outside the reach of the law, Akai uses Sawa as his personal assassin.
Akai, the lead detective in these cases, knows more than he is letting on-not only have he and his partner ordered each of the killings, but many of them have been carried out by his lover and adopted daughter, Sawa. The only known connections are the killer's use of exploding bullets, and the fact that each of the victims were famous, wealthy, or powerful individuals. In Tokyo, a string of bizarre, unsolved murders have the police confounded and the media in a frenzy.
