You have to understand the political atmosphere of Asia back then. The Japanese and Chinese were in a PR battle.

I think it's clear he loses the plot, so to speak, in investigating his master's murder and at a certain stage, just kills anyone who gets in his way.🐭

I agree, which makes the film seem somewhat confused with the way it seems to chant him on as a hero at the end with that bombastic theme blaring out. If anything, what he did caused more harm than anything else and he's clearly not right in the head.

The irony is intentional.

Well - he did give some of the guys a chance to go, telling them to scram. They stayed to fight, so they died
