@piratescarlett I watched it again a few days ago, and I liked his lines👍
@hkcp123 Oh great! :D Yes he's very cool in this movie - I like Wakasugi. It's funny that Umemiya comes back as another character (Iwai) in the next films!
@piratescarlett Oh, it happens😅 I haven't seen part 3 yet. I plan to watch them in order!
@hkcp123 3 is my favourite - I hope you have fun watching it! :)
