Arrow Season 8 Review: 8 Ups & 2 Downs From 'Welcome To Hong Kong'

6. Katana's Return

Arrow Season 8 Katana

Being the tribute to Season 3 that it was, it was rather fitting that Katana showed up to rescue Oliver and Diggle from an impending attack.

Rila Fukishima's performance as Tatsu Yamashiro was one of the few shining lights in a relatively dark period for the show and it's really unfortunate that we never got to catch up with her again after her single appearance in Season 4. But this more than made up for that, as it was a return that did both her and her storyline justice - reminding us all how much we had missed her.

Furthermore, the dynamic between her and Oliver Queen was always one of the most intriguing on the show, as she not only knew him long before he put on that hood, but she also had no problem telling him how it was - something she got one more opportunity to do right here.
