the edge due to its ability to put its victims in a completely defenseless state, whereas the Molotov's victims were not immediately incapacitated. This was the first ever squad-on-squad battle in the show. This is the first episode that involves neutral nonparticipants in the simulation: A couple gets caught in the initial crossfire at the start of the fight. Despite not being tested, in the simulation, the Mafia can be seen with a pistol and stiletto and one of the Yakuza members can be seen with a katana. The Mafia is one of six warriors with no battle cry at the end of the battle. The Tommy Gun scored the most kills of any firearm in the first two seasons. The Mafia are the third warriors of thirteen to win after scoring more kills at mid range and long range. The sai is the fourth weapon to be given the edge while scoring fewer kills than the opposing weapon. According to the listed statistics, the Mafia had a size advantage of 4 inches and 20 lbs. Gear weight was equal. The time differential between the two warriors as listed is 18 years. As a side note, this was the third episode of four consecutive episodes to feature warriors of Japanese descent; of these, the Yakuza were both the physically largest and the chronologically most modern. Reenactment 5 At a Japanese hotel's reception, a couple's filing in for the night, before being ambushed by the Yakuza from one corner...and the Mafia right on the other exit of the hotel. One of the Mafia's members prepares a Molotov Cocktail for a spicy welcoming, but he's cut short by one of the civilians shouting "Bakudan desu!" (That's a bomb!); this causes the Yakuza to retaliate swiftly by shooting rounds of British Sten, but the Mafia doesn't stay behind and shoots from their Tommies as well, killing the civilians, one of which is used as meatshields by the Yakuza's leader. The men hide behind couches, doors, and sofas. Behind the welcoming counter, the same Molotov Gangster prepares another of his cocktails, but a Yakuza member lights up a ceramic grenade and rolls it towards, him, blowing up the Mafia member and setting him on fire at the same time, effectively killing him instantly. As the crossfire goes on, two Yakuza are gunned down by Tommy Gun rounds and another Mafia member is shot down
