Question about Ep. 17


Why did G13 kill the old FBI agent?

reply

I've been wondering this too. The best I can think of is
1. He was part of Golgo 13's contract; or
2. He wanted to kill Golgo 13. You see him grab a gun, if at any stage Golgo 13 felt threatened, he would have killed him without hesitation.

Golgo 13 is a cold blooded bastard. He saw the old man as a threat and removed him.

^Pretty much this. I saw the episode again recently, The FBI agent understood enough about his character to track him down (when he knew Golgo was at the gym,) he couldn't risk that being used against him.

Came here after just watching this episode. That thing about seeing his weakness makes sense. I remember he looked a little shocked when the old guy said that. It was still a pointless kill and even makes Golgo look illogical and a little insane. To kill someone who he had no real reason to kill. Those thugs were 10 times the threat.

Outside his insane plot armour, Golgo 13 survives through an extreme level of efficiency. He kills witnesses without hesitation, and more inquisitive characters such as reporters get warnings once not to go deeper into his life. If they ignore him (as is often the case,) he terminates them. He's an assassin, and he doesn't just kill the bad guys.

The old agent tried to kill Golgo, you can see he's holding his gun when dead.

Not that Golgo's ever need much incentive to pull the trigger on anyone

He could've killed him before so some people wonder why now ?
And here's why. Great episode.
