The mini blade *Spoilers* end


Since there is toons of people cruzing the forums here, i thought to ask if anybody knows, if there is any possebility that the stab the Retainer get at the end could be done in the real life? Being not the everyday wound he does and perhaps a lot of possible but not likely arguments ... i still would hear the thoughts on using a small percing object to construct internal bleedings and second to non external?

Dude, I am not a troll or anything, but that is the single hardest-to-read thread I have ever attempted to decipher. What are you asking, I would like to try and help?

I think the OP is asking if the cleancut stab wound to the heart is realistic or possible at all as portrayed in the film. He knows there will be a lot of varying opinions on it but he would appreciate if we could share our thoughts with him.

PS. I don't think English is his 1st language & more likely used a translator application to translate his words in his own native language to english, hence why it's jumbled up, like google translate.

he was cut several times. add the intensity of fighting and you will tire out quick. the cuts may not have been that well done, but you need to imagine what a katana can do to flesh. and the bleeding from 2-3 of these cuts is enough to make you pass out.

Red Wine, you're talking about the wrong fight; the OP means the single stab to the heart Katagiri inflicts on the chief retainer inside the castle.

It sounds like a katana move similar to Pai Mei's Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique delivered by Beatrix (who'd also learnt it in secret) to Bill in Kill Bill Vol 2.

Not a katana move, Spookyrat; it was a very small blade, a hilt-knife..

A little story about these, if you'll allow me - I had been to a meeting in west London and was due to see this film at the Prince Charles, an eccentric cinema just off Leicester Square, but I had some time to kill first. So I went to the V&A, the Victoria and Albert Museum of applied arts. In the Oriental galleries there they have a number of Japanese antiquities, including some splendid swords, and I was interested to see that one of them, a fine katana, had this little hilt-knife; I had never heard of such a thing before. Then I went off to see Kakushi ken oni no tsume and there was the very same thing! A nice bit of serendipity.

The sword with the knife is not Katagiri's own, he has it stashed away in a drawer. I wonder if it was his father's? I hope so, considering what happened to him. He is revenged, too.

reply

You're absolutely correct. I should have said kenjutsu move taught by his sword master.

Interesting anecdote about the curated katanas and yes, it does seem rather serendipitous.
