Black Lagoon: Roberta's Blood Trail is an OVA, meaning Original Video Animation, extension of the mature Japanese anime series Black Lagoon. This particular iteration is only five episodes in length, but also serves as the third season of the Black Lagoon anime. The plot of this particular leg focuses on Roberta, the Colombian maid of the Lovelace family and a former Cuban guerrilla as she finds her master assassinated by Americans to install a leftist government and seeks vengeance upon the perpetrators. Rock and the rest of the Lagoon Company get involved because Roberta's past with the Cuban rebels has earned her quite a hefty bounty. As Rock tries to convince Roberta to stop her rampage, Roberta becomes increasingly unhinged as her old life crashes into her current life. What follows is a 175 minute-long story of mercenaries, the American government, piracy, and excessive violence. While the other Black Lagoon seasons were taken from stories within the Black Lagoon manga, Roberta's Blood Trail is an original story set within the Rei Hiroe's Black Lagoon universe. It was produced by Studio Madhouse, with Sunao Katabuchi serving as the director of the series. Funimation Entertainment holds distribution rights within the United States.
