Observation:
It is now considered de rigeur
Among the au fait ronin
To disparage the bushido
While wholly upholding it.
[Interior query:
Can you knock a man unconscious
By punching him in the stomach?]

Funny Eyes of Death
"The sky... the sea... and the Musou-Masamune blade." RAIZA ICHIKAWA
I was watching The Sleepy Eyes of Death 1: The Chinese Jade, and in the fiftieth minute the master of karate Chen Sun (the excellent Tomisaburo Wakayama - the Japanese Lino Ventura) says to his arch-opponent, the ronin Nemuri Kyoshiro (Raizo Ichikawa), who he has a "hard-on" to battle, "Shall we fight?"
To which Raizo replies, "Not now. Let's end this rude interruption." They then fight off a cadre of inconsequential samurai.
I meanwhile misread the subtitles for a moment, and thought that Raizo had made a genuinely subversive and liberating comment: "Not now. Let's wait til the end of the film."
