Ballad of Back Alley
Very tryhard, very "take me seriously!" I suppose Iori going back to Manabu would work if we are supposed to interpret it as a bitter-sweet sort of thing; as Iori not really having learned anything. But we get this whole scene of him sticking it to the man just for him to run back to a guy who was doing the same shit to him on a cheap promise of 'doing better' or something. He's kind of just accidentally retarded.
Deen My Love
Dunno. Not too fond of this sort of spontaneous resolution. His fetish seemed to be so deep rooted and he was so absorbed in his self pity; seeking out companionship while not really trying to remedy his peculiar tastes. He just seemed really self destructive. I kind of expected him to pop a boner when his partner was stabbed or to get aroused at the scene of Deen being stepped on again and hate himself for it. Definitely felt this looming sense of impending dread that just never hit. Though that might be the appeal for others.
