Gasp! You have grabbed my arms in an awkward manner! I surrender immediately!
Oh no! He's mildly gripped me by the arm!
Josh: Oh look! It's the place where you grab to immobilize a lady. You guys know about that, right?
Jay: What?
Josh: Yeah. When you grab right here (gesture to upper arm) on a lady, she can't do anything.

And grabbing [Asami] by the wrist makes her entirely helpless. I guess this show really did want to invoke the 1920s because that's the last time when this was dramatically acceptable. "A badass female being rendered helpless by someone grabbing her shoulder or her wrist"... It's such a stupid, outdated cliche and a relic of the past when female characters were expected to be nothing other than damsels in distress. Hey, Asami, remember those self-defense classes that you talked about? I thought that they might have taught you how to get out of a hold, especially one where he's only grabbing your wrist.
