We're getting really bloody this week as we take a trip to feudal Japan for the 1972 samurai movie that set the pace for violent sword fighting movies to follow. This is not your father's samurai movie. This is not Akira Kurosawa. This is Kenji Misumi's epic starring Tomisaburo Wakyama and his wonderful, weapon-laden baby cart.Adapted from the extremely popular manga by Kazuo Koike, Lone Wolf and Cub tells the story of wandering assassin, Ogami Itto and his son, Daigoro as they walk the demon way in hell. The evil daimyo, Yagyu Retsudo wants them dead but it's going to take an army if they intend to get the job done.Utterly ridiculous and bloody, Sword of Vengeance sets the tone for the five movies that follow and is a tremendously enjoyable movie. Let us tell you all about it.Support Bring Me The Axe on Patreon!https://www.patreon.com/c/bringmetheaxepodBuy Bring Me The Axe merch here:https://www.bonfire.com/store/bring-me-the-axe-podcast/
Ah, Fall. For many, it is the time for crisp, cooler air, pumpkin spice lattes, and bundling up all warm and toasty while you watch the leaves change from the colors of green to the colors of autumn. But if you're us? It's all about families of assassins, yakuza, military complexes, bear cults, and devious pro wrestlers. Or perhaps intrigue, spy craft, and amorous rendezvous aplenty! Oh, and murder. Just lots and lots of murder. All kinds. But mostly the kind of murder that's best served up by feet-knives.That's right, this time on the OSMcast we are talking about the manga and anime that is Crying Freeman! The manga was written by Kazuo Koike and illustrated by Ryoichi Ikegami. The anime was adapted by Toei Animation and was directed by Higashi Shimizu and Ryunosuke Ono.OSMnotesCrying Freeman!

CW: sexual assault, child abuse, murder, suicide, gore, rape revenge stories, etc. Jenny from Battle City Broads is back to talk about another lesbian assassin story - Lady Snowblood, the manga by Kazuo Koike and film by Toshiya Fujita. This franchise inspired Tarantino to make the Kill Bill movies, but both the Japanese film and Kill Bill omit the very sapphic themes of the source manga. We talk through the plot and history of this franchise, as well as the importance of citing your inspiration... :) Find Jenny at: Battle City Broads: https://open.spotify.com/show/4dmsW6QVJhPGbv6e2dUOCt Twitter: https://twitter.com/battlecitybroad?lang=en

Loosely adapted from Kazuo Koike and Kazuo Kamimura's manga series, Lady Snowblood is a chanbara film centering on a young lady (Meiko Kaji) striving to enact vengeance for the murder of her father and rape of her mother. Filled with stylized melodrama, bold storytelling choices, and gallons of cartoonish gore, Lady Snowblood struck enough of a chord to result in a sequel, at least two remakes, a slot in the Criterion Collection, and a loving homage in Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill movies. Ryan is joined by Cheryl and Sylvan for a closer look at this mesmerizing action movie. Discussion topics include Meiko Kaji's thousand yard stare, the story's interpretation of the Meiji period, how Lady Snowblood reflects the 1970's more often than its period setting, and how the story's use of Buddhist principles stand in contrast to the dictates of the chanbara genre. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ryan-valentine3/support
This week we begin the themed 'Old Blokes Read Manga' month on the podcast. First up in the co-host chair is comics historian Richard Sheaf who has chosen Volume #1 of Crying Freeman. Part of the big wave of Manga that hit the UK and US in the nineties and a series that even with a bit of awkward sex still stands up today. Tony and Rich discuss the creators and the legacy of this cracking series from Kazuo Koike and Ryiochi Ikegami. You can catch up on Richard's brilliant Blog Boys Adventure Comics by clicking the link. You can also find and follow him here on Twitter. Many thanks for listening.
This week two Japanuary staples return. The Jidaigeki psychological crime film that dragged Japan into the international film stage, kicked (with The Bicycle Thief and Monsieur Vincent) the Academy Award doors open for international films, innovated narrative structure in a way that had been endlessly imitated but never rivaled, changed the way films are shot and edited, and its title has become the term for different points of view and interpretations of the same event across all fields of study. A monk and woodcutter take refuge from a storm under a decaying gate outside Kyoto. They have just been witnesses in a trial and are still trying to understand what happened in that sunny forest grove between the dead samurai, his bride, and an infamous bandit. Is there a definitive truth in Akira Kurosawa's Rashomon? 11 years after having her bloody revenge, Yuki Kashima better known at large as Lady Snowblood, is finally taken into custody and sentenced to death. Her transport is overtaken on the way to the gallows and Yuki is offered an out by the head of the Secret Police. If she infiltrates the home of an enemy of the state, finds some dangerous documents, and executes the traitor she will be given immunity from her previous crimes. Before long Yuki begins to question her mission and must choose between her freedom and the freedom of all. Based on the manga by prolific author Kazuo Koike. Lady Snowblood: Love Song of Vengeance All that and Kevin isn't afraid of no ghosts, Dave eats too many marching marshmallows, and Tyler plans his escape from yet another basement sex dungeon. Join us, won't you?Episode 240- In A Snowy Grove
En esta entrega nos vemos la saga de películas que adaptaron el famoso manga de Kazuo Koike. Un samurái que era el verdugo del shogun, es deshonrado y asesinan a su mujer y decide echarse a los caminos con su hijo de pocos años que va en cochecito. Juntos han elegido el camino del infierno, venganza o deshonra. Síguenos durante seis pelis cargadas de violaciones, desmembramientos, espadasos, ninjas e incluso resucitados. Nos acompaña el bueno de Aratz que al principio le petardea un poco el micro pero luego va bien.

Neste episódio Marcelo Ogami Manaro, Fernando Daigoro Carvalho, Eddie e Rafael Meifumado Luqui, discutem o clássico mangá Lobo Solitário de Kazuo Koike e Goseki Kojima e sua importância tanto para o gênero, assim como sua influência no ocidente.
Hector, nuestro filántropo preferido, nos muestra el camino por una serie de recomendaciones. Empezamos con The Sandman, próxima serie de drama estadounidense desarrollada por Allan Heinberg para Netflix. Es una adaptación de la serie de historietas homónima, creada por Neil Gaiman y publicada por DC Comics. Posesiones, y locuras podremos ver en esta adaptación con actores de tercera línea. Pasamos a Y el último hombre de Disney plus, he de decir que me tiene sorprendido la unión de varios cómics de la editorial vertigo pasan a contarnos la historia de un anti héroe, mago y con un mono pasa a ser el único hombre de la tierra ya que todos los hombres desaparecen del mundo. Disney ha pillado esto y pinta muy bien. Centrándonos en los comics europeos nos topamos con Black Sad, personajes animados al más puro estilo Disney creada y desarrollada por Juan Díaz Canales como guionista y Juanjo Guarnido como dibujante para la editorial francesa Dargaud. Nos introduce en las clásicas novelas policiacas del noir. Antes de terminar vamos, como no a tocar el manga y en este caso hablamos de Lobo solitario y su cachorro o como también se le conoce Kozure Ōkami es una serie de manga escrita por Kazuo Koike e ilustrada por Goseki Kojima. Kozure Ōkami cuenta la historia de Ogami Ittō, antiguo kaishakunin, un asistente en el seppuku de nobles condenados por el shōgun, que emplea la dōtanuki. Es deshonrado por una falsa acusación del clan Yagyū y forzado a tomar el camino del asesinato. Junto a su pequeño hijo Daigorō, de tres años, planea vengarse del clan Yagyū. El manga ha recibido adaptaciones a seis películas y varias series de televisión, entre otras cosas. Quieres donar? paypal.me/OskySan --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/oscar6884/message

For this week's Six Degrees of Kill Bill episode, we head back to Japan to discuss another film inspired by the work of LADY SNOWBLOOD writer Kazuo Koike. Koike's magnum opus is a Lone Wolf & Cub, an epic series that ran for six years and nearly 9,000 pages. Its popularity led to a series of six films, produced in Japan from 1972-1974. While the LONE WOLF & CUB films were released in the U.S. in their original Japanese language, English subtitled form, they didn't truly gain popularity in America until 1980, when a pair of film producers bought the rights, smashed together footage from the first two LONE WOLF & CUB films, added a new synth-heavy soundtrack and an English dub, and released it to the grindhouse circuit in 1980. The result, SHOGUN ASSASSIN, was a success and led many cinephiles back to the original films. In this episode, we'll discuss the history of SHOGUN ASSASSIN, from its origins as a manga all the way through the production of the LONE WOLF & CUB films, and its release and its legacy, including its use in Quentin Tarantino's KILL BILL.

This week, I'm trying something a little different. In addition to this essay and podcast, I made a video.It’s part of my ongoing series, “How It’s Written” I’m explaining, in detail, why I think the TV show the Mandalorian is so well-written. And to do that, I delve into the world of the internal story. I think this essay it's more fun as a video, but it totally works as a podcast or an essay. So consume in the form that you find most palatable. IntroductionToday on "How It's Written" we're going to dig into the immensely popular Mandalorian, I've seen lots of people commenting on this story, good and bad, but I don't think any of them have really nailed what makes the show so great.But that's not surprising, because that's what a well-crafted story does. It hides its workings so that you are drawn into and through the story, without fully realizing what's being done to you.But I'm going to lay it all out for you. Obviously, if you haven’t seen the whole show, here’s your spoiler alert. Go binge it and come back. The most important thing to realize is that for all it's wonderful action sequences, The Mandalorian is driven by its internal story. And if you don't know what I mean by that, or that all great stories are driven by the internal conflict, stick around. Internal v. External StorySo, quick primer. One way to think about an internal story is that it is the story that matters most to the main character. I think this is what William Faulkner meant when he said, “The only thing worth writing about is the human heart in conflict with itself.”Take Rocky, for example. On the outside, Rocky is a movie about a hopeless loser who tries his best who gets a shot, tries his best, and loses. In fact, he gets beat up and loses in front of his girlfriend. But on the inside, it's a triumph. And we triumph with him. Which is why we love Rocky. Could you tell the story of Rocky without the boxing scenes? On one hand, the idea is silly. The boxing is how you show the conflict on the screen. It’s how Rocky demonstrates his passion and sacrifice. When you write a book you can put the reader directly into the mind of your character, but with film or television, you can't. So you have to have some way to symbolize what’s going on in your character’s head. But it can be anything that’s fun to film, boxing, wrestling, bobsledding, hunting a giant shark, a chess game, performing a difficult piano concerto, lightsaber duels, or a gunfight. So here's how the show worksEvery episode has the same structure. Mando gets a job, Mando does a job. He wants someone from someone, in exchange, they give him a quest, and he completes it in exciting and unexpected action sequences. That's it. That’s pretty much all there is to the external story. It's a formula and I love it. And, unless you're over-intellectualizing it, or trying to score clicks in pointlessly snarky YouTube commentary, you love it too. Because it’s amazingly well done. Because as fans and viewers don't want our expectations subverted. We don't want genre conventions broken. We want all of those things honored and given back to us in a way that makes them fresh and new. We want our expectations fulfilled in a way that we don't see coming, or with such a high emotional charge we just don't care. And I think that is one reason the Mandalorian is so refreshing. It doesn't have any pretensions to being important to the culture. They're just trying to tell an entertaining story. And that’s all that George Lucas was doing when he made the original films. And it’s not a thriller. The whole world isn’t a risk. The Galaxy is not in jeopardy. The kid is. And for me, that makes the stakes more real.Is anything in the universe going to change if Baby Yoda gets snuffed? Probably not. But, to the Mandalorian, it would be Armageddon. And that’s the internal story. Or part of it at least. So we’ve got sixteen chapters across two seasons. And across the loom of these episodes the internal story of the Mandalorian is woven. It’s the story of a traumatized orphan raised to be a violent killing machine who rediscovers his humanity by caring for an orphaned child. And his real change, I think, is from cold indifference - that detachment of the professional not just to love, but something beyond love. I call it selfless love.I’m going to go through this in detail, but my first thought is that it is kind of a small story. It doesn’t feel like two seasons worth of television. So I think any flaws in this show are because they were shucking and jiving, filling episodes. Or what you might see as a flaw or a misstep is the writers intentionally sacrificing the external story to make the internal story stronger. The most glaring one in my mind is in Episode 14 — titled the Tragedy, but what I think of as the Return of Boba Fett. In the standoff, Boba Fett demands that the Mandalorian takes off the jet pack. This means that he doesn’t have it on when the Child is taken by the Dark Troopers. Honestly, this is very, very dumb. Why wouldn’t he have put his jet pack back on? Seems very valuable, not the kind of thing you’d leave lying around? Because, if he had it, he’d just fly up to save the Child either, saving him or dying in the process. And it’s very important for the internal story to have the child taken from him. Because it is in recapturing the child — because the big fight that is to come, is how he will show that he loves the child.These “missteps” sets up a bigger, more satisfying story beats in the end. Find me anything you love and I will find you a misstep. This show isn’t perfect. But nothing is. Work doesn't succeed because it's flawless. It succeeds because its strengths overcome its flaws. And that’s worth knowing if you want to be a maker instead of a critic. This why hatchet job reviews and commentary bother me. Everything has flaws. And it takes no real skill or insight to them. What's harder to explain is why anything is good. In other words, how its strength’s overcome its flaws. In the first episode, there are only two beats in the internal story. 1. Mythrol tries to bribe him to not take him in. And the Mandalorian doesn’t accept. Because, even though he’s not exactly a good guy, he’s a man with a code. Which the show will beat us over the head with for a couple of episodes. This is the way. This is the way. This is the way. Yup, he’s got a way. Because this is a Western and Samurai movie. And Westerns and Samurai movies are the same thing. Because even if you swap out the pistols for swords a showdown is a showdown is a showdown. Yojimbo is a Fistful of Dollars. The Seven Samurai is The Magnificent Seven.And Kurosawa, the guy who made these Samurai epics, was in turn influenced by earlier Westerns. The cycles of influence never end. Until in 1970, Kazuo Koike and Goseki Kojima produce a Japanese comic called Kozure Okami. Which literally translates as "Wolf Taking Along his Child" but which you probably know as Lone Wolf and Cub.It’s a monster manga epic. This is the first volume and there are twelve of these books in the series. As you can see from the fabulous cover art by Frank Miller, we’ve got the cute kid in the baby carriage and everything. So it seems like it’s the same as the Mandalorian, but it’s not. Because of, you guessed it, the internal story. Now I love Lone Wolf and Cub, so don’t take this as a real criticism, but compared to the Mandalorian, The Wolf — Ogami Itto — is kind of an a*****e. Or a real hardass. At the beginning of the story, he has been ordered to commit suicide — his wife is dead and his clan has been betrayed. He is setting off on a path of revenge, but he’s got this little boy. So he lays out a sword and a ball and lets the kid choose. If the kid chooses the ball, he’s going to “send him off to be with his mother.” In other words, kill him. But the kid goes for the sword. So he takes him with him in one of the most satisfying stories of reckless child endangerment I’ve ever read. But that’s not the Mandalorian’s story. And we don’t quite know it yet. The only hint we get in this episode is when he tells the armorer, “I was a foundling.” So when he teams up with IG-11 and the droid wants to kill him, the Mandalorian shoots him in the head. Why? Why would a ruthless professional, one who’s code includes the phrase, “I can bring you in warm or I can bring you in cold” not let the Droid kill the kid? Well, it could be that he wants the money for himself. We’ve both seen the show, so we know it’s not. It’s that he sees himself in the kid. He was rescued by a Mandalorian in a gunfight. And we’ll get all of that in the third episodeThe second episode is fun, including the line, “I’m a Mandalorian, weapons are my religion.” But from the internal story perspective, only one thing happens. The kid saves him from the Mudhorn. Now, it’s super geeky awesome that baby Yoda used the force, but for the internal story, it doesn’t really matter how the kid saves him. In the third episode, he delivers the Child to the client and takes his Beskar to the armorer to make a new set of armor. While it’s being made, we get a flashback sequence that shows him as an orphan. A flashback sequence that for me, broke the flow of the episode a little. It was exposition I didn’t think we needed the first time I watched it. EXCEPT, I think we did need it. For the internal story. Because he’s about to blow up his entire life. So he goes to his ship, and we have a great moment with the little metal ball. I think the technical term for this is Recognition by Token. The ball is a symbol for the kid. This is very skillful here because, in film, we can’t crack open his head and know what is going on. But if he stares at the metal ball the kid played with, what else could he possibly be thinking about? It’s a lovely internal moment and quietly one of the biggest moments in the series. Does he leave the kid or does he rescue him? There are two things to note about this. A crisis is always a choice. Great crises are never a choice between good and bad things. A crisis is always a choice between irreconcilable things. Think Sophie’s Choice. In this moment the Mandalorian recognizes that he’s not who he thought he was. He’s not just a Mandalorian, inside, he’s still also that scared 5-year-old kid. Except this time he’s big and he’s strong and he knows how to fight. So what’s he going to do? Which one of these identities is he going to kill? Because a ruthless, cold-blooded bounty hunter doesn’t break the deal. But if he doesn’t break this deal, that little 5-year-old boy inside of him is going to die. So he goes back, rescues the child, and goes on the run. And this is also gigantic on an external level. Because he blew up his entire external life. Now he can’t be a bounty hunter anymore. He’s on the run with the kid. And he is estranged from all the other Mandalorian. He has no idea what comes next. Next episode, we have the wonderful defense in-depth scene against the bandits with the AT-ST. Which is a great introduction to a great character, Cara Dune. Who is a female badass, who looks like she’s a female badass. Bravo proper casting. I don’t want to get too deep into the details of the external story but I will point out that tactically, this may be the best battle scene in all of Star Wars. This episode is also the Magnificent Seven in a nutshell. Call it the Magnificent Duo. And what’s important about this episode is he that won’t take off his helmet. He’s going to leave the child because it’s best for the child. But Bounty Hunters come and they have to stay on the run. But the very moment before that attack, Cara Dune lays this on him. Cara Dune: (incredulous) That's it? So, you can slip off the helmet, settle down with that beautiful young widow and raise your kids sitting here sipping spotchka?And he refuses. No taking off the helmet. This is the way. He’s a man with a code. Shane rides off into the sunset. Now the chapter is fun action in the desert, but a bit of a nothing burger for the story that’s driving this whole thing. The stakes aren’t raised on the key value. He does what he has done before, saves the kid from the bounty hunter. In Chapter 6, the Prisoner, the Mandalorian has taken a job with old associates. And this is a bit of reversal from love to indifference. He’s risking the child’s life Ogami Itto style. You could see it as he doesn’t have a choice, but I dunno. Seems a little sloppy and risky for a professional. But he saves the kid in the end, the status quo is maintained, and we’re off to Chapter 7.To keep the kid safe, The Mandalorian pulls together all of his allies in a plot to kill the Client. Which is bittersweet for me. Because I love Werner Hertzog’s performance. “He is so marvelously nihilistic. As at home in the RealPolitik of the crumbling of empire as a crow feasting upon a battlefield.” Seriously, I love that guy. Over the next two episodes, The Mandalorian kills the client and, we think, Moff Gideon but that’s kind of what he’s done before. But it can be read as just getting himself out of a mess. But tanking on the obligation to find the child’s people and see that he is taken care of, that’s a new step up. At the end of episode seven, we have this great speech by Moff Gideon. Moff Gideon: You have something I want. You may think you have some idea of what you are in possession of. But you do not. In a few moments it will be mine. It means more to me than you will ever know.At the open of episode eight, we have the Scout Tropper scene. Written by Taika Wattiti — because of course it’s written by Taika Wattiti — this scene is amazing. We get utter humanity from two Storm Troopers. Funny, sympathetic, it feels like the most real scene in the whole show for me. But, we can’t like these guys too much, because they are about to get absolutely murdered by IG-11. So what does Taika have them do. Punch Baby Yoda. Now, even though you totally sympathized with them, it’s totally okay they get killed. That’s so well done. Instantly one of my favorite scenes of all time. Also, I have to point out that IG-11 steals the entire first season for me. It’s his episode. It’s called Redemption, is because the droid redeems himself.The group hears the Child squeal over the comms. Cut to IG-11 on the speeder bike with the Child in a bag strapped to his chest. ]IG-11: Kuiil has been terminated.[ Cut to the common house. ]Din Djarin: What did you do?IG-11: (over comms) I am fulfilling my base function.Din Djarin: Which is?[ Cut to IG-11. ]IG-11: To nurse and protect.But, from an internal story standpoint, IG-11’s sacrifice prefigures the sacrifices that the Mandalorian will make for the Child. Because I think you have to see a person who never takes off his helmet as someone who’s trying to be a machine — and IG-11 as a machine that is trying to be human. This is all b******t, from the text of the story. With IG-11 insisting repeatedly, that he’s never been alive. But I think my explanation is what most people get as a viewer, if only as a feeling. THE HELMETAgain, we get the Mandalorian refusing to take off his helmet. He’d rather die than show his face to another living thing. And, the scared little boy inside him just assumes that when he is powerless before the Droid, that IG-11 is just going to kill him. My guess is that there’s not a lot of room for weakness in the code of the Spartans.But IG-11 is not alive, so we have a loophole. Now, if you're not a writer, you probably don't think about story much at all. You just enjoy it. Which means, when a story is well constructed, you don't notice any of the plot points. Your emotions are running high and you just want to know what happens next. Both on an intellectual and an emotional level, you are drawn into the story. But if a story isn't together well, you notice all the errors and the gaps in the story. This is why, I think, if you want to understand what makes great stories, great, you have to outline them. Because, on first inspection, they've cast their spell over you and it's very difficult to see them clearly.Since The Mandalorian won't take off his mask in the beginning, it means, he HAS to off his mask in the climax of the story. Now, if you say this out loud while watching season one for the first time with your friends, you're a jerk. But if you are Jon Favreau trying to write a television show that's what you call a clue. Very often stories are worked back to front. What's your great ending? Now, how do you set up that great ending? Twists are easy-er. Great scenes are easy-er. But great endings are rare, so one very good school of thought is don't start writing until you have your ending. Because just assuming a great ending will be waiting when you get there can really get you into trouble. As I think we've seen with other Star Wars stories. And, of course, Game of Thrones. *Shudder*Anyway — IG-11 makes the Mandalorian promise to take care of the child. And we get real emotion out of the Mandalorian from this.Din Djarin: (voice rough with emotion) No. We need you.IG-11: There is nothing to be sad about. I have never been alive.Din Djarin: I'm not sad.IG-11: Yes you are. I'm a nurse droid. I've analyzed your voice. (caressing the Child in farewell)Then we get a stupid ridiculous action sequence. This is something that you would do playing with Star Wars action figures. And part of me loves it and the other part just doesn’t care. Because, as we’ve seen from following the internal story — it doesn’t matter. It’s a boxing match. A symbol of the internal struggle and triumph.Annnnd, season two.For what I read as the internal story of the Mandalorian, nothing happens for like seven Chapters. Oh, plenty happens, in the way of action. And I like all of these episodes. I even like Chapter Ten with the crazy ice spiders and it’s Deus ex Machina ending. Because I’m bought into the internal story by this point. And, for that story, the jeopardy is: is Baby Yoda going to get caught eating the Frog lady’s children? I think Blake Synder of “Save the Cat” would call these episodes “Fun and Games” it’s the promise of the premise. The Mandalorian is doing cool Mando things. He’s taking care of the kid, but it’s not like the stakes of his sacrifice are rising. Then Moff Gideon captures the kid. And he kills a main character.Blows up the man’s ride. But it’s more than blowing up the man’s ride. That ship is a character in the show in the same way the Millennium Falcon is. Once it’s gone, things can’t really be the same. Maybe this is an intentional signal, maybe not. But the story formula is broken. Losing the ship is a powerful sign that we’re not going back to the way things were. The Mandalorian calls in all his allies and they put together a plan to get the kid. But along the way, we have another climax to the internal story. He needs the location of Moff Gideon, but to get it he has to break his code and take off his helmet. Which he does. Is this it? This the big scene where the Mandalorian removes his helmet — well, not exactly. But I think it actually heightens the big scene. Because what we see is that he doesn’t exactly know how to be a person without the helmet. He’s damaged, and to protect his weak point, he has donned armor. And what he’s armored himself against is trauma. All that terrible s**t that happened to him, not only his parents being killed but also the terrible things that happened making him a Mandalorian. To the Mandalorian, foundling might just be another term for child solider. And the time-honored way — to make superhuman warriors — from Spartans to SEALS — is to put them through trials that only a very few can survive. This guy is broken and we see it in his eyes in Chapter 15We also get the great scene where Bill Burr just blows the whole operation because he has to shoot his ex-commander. “Yeah, was it good for them though?” For me, this is the most political moment in the entire show. But it doesn’t feel forced and is totally consistent with the character; and what is the arc of most of the secondary characters in the show. Every single one of them redeems themselves, just as the Mandalorian redeems himself in the end. Look at the transformations. Greef Carga goes from running bounty hunters to becoming a governor. The Mandalorian brings the Sandpeople and the people of Mos Pelgo together. Cara Dune goes from wanted fugitive to Marshall. Bill Burr redeems himself when he kills his commander and blows up the base. For all the violence, this is a show about redemption. At the end of episode fifteen, he puts Moff Gideon on notice with a lovely bit of parallelism, repeating Moff Gideon’s speech back to him word for word.Now, this is not strategically sound, but it’s so cool, who cares? I’m not here for a lesson in tactics, I’m here to be entertained. So, Fight, fight, fight. Rescue the kid, trapped on the bridge. Robots hammering at the door. All is lost — but then a lone X-wing flies in. “GREAT WE’RE SAVED”Now, I don’t want to underestimate the feels that come with Luke Skywalker making an appearance. It got me. And it really got me because the prequels and the sequels were so bad. My goal with these essays is not to be critical — and there are things to be learned from those stories. But they were bad. And, especially with the sequels, maybe the expectations, the corporate meddling, all of that made it impossible to make it good. Honestly, I thought the first one did an amazing job of threading an impossible set of needles — but after that, ugh. And those prequels, “messa say *hurling noise*.”Now, you may feel differently and that’s fine. I don’t blame or judge you. But what you have to understand about me is that my Dad took me to see Star Wars in 1977. I was five. And we saw it, in the theatre, at least three times. I loved that movie so much that whenever a movie would come on television with the 20th Century Fox intro, with the drum roll and the fanfare. I would stop whatever I was doing on the off-chance, on the hope that it might just be Star Wars. It almost never was. Empire Strikes Back blew my mind. Return of the Jedi wasn’t at good as that, but it was close. Luke saving and forgiving his father is still very powerful. Maybe more powerful now that I am a father and I come to understand a little bit about what having a son means. And it is saying a hell of a lot that a piece of pop culture still works on any level 38 years later. Or 44 years later if you count from the first film. Here’s the thing, that five-year-old boy is still inside me. Honestly, I didn’t have a very happy childhood. I haven’t always had that great of a relationship with my Dad. We both can be very difficult people. It was his first time being a Dad and my first time being a kid, so neither of us knew what the hell we were doing, but I remember the moments surrounding those films as being very happy. And since Return of the Jedi, that five-year-old kid has waited for that Star Wars to show up again. To this day, my ears still prick up when I hear the 20th Century Fox fanfare. Because maybe, just maybe it’s going to be that Star Wars movie I’ve always wanted but never got to see. But it never has.The lesson a writer could learn from this is the expectations you set with a book, or a film or a genre are crucially important. And if you don’t handle them correctly, you’re going to be in for rough sledding. But the five-year-old me doesn’t care about any of that. He’s been waiting for Luke Skywalker to show up on-screen since 1983. Not this guy:This guy:So yeah, that was an emotional moment for me. And I don’t care about the quality of CGI. It didn’t matter anyway, because tears welled up in my eyes.I tell you all that so you can put what I will say next into proper context. That moment was genius. But it’s not storytelling genius. It’s a manipulative, sentimental genius. And if an emotional moment like that is wrong, I don’t want to be right. For reasons beyond my conscious control, I am all in.But, it’s still Deus ex Machina. The God from the Machine. The term was coined by Aristotle, who used it to point out that it’s generally bad writing. This kind of thing has been recognized as a mistake since 300 B.C. But in this case, it’s a mistake you want to make. Deus Ex Machina (not a New Wave Band)So here’s how it worked in Ancient Greece. At the end of the play they would literally use a crane to drop a totally new actor, playing a god onto the stage and he would magically resolve everything. But now, 23 centuries later, instead of a crane we get an X-wing dropping the god into the story. But it doesn’t matter. Because all this only resolves the external story. And the internal story is what matters. Let’s break it down. As the Dark Troopers are banging on the door, Moff Gideon gets a hold of a blaster. And when he shoots at the child, the Mandalorian throws his body in front of the shot to save Baby Yoda. For me, this is a superfluous beat. Meh, it’s just his life. Mando has risked his life a whole bunch for the kid.But at the very end, after Luke has cleaned house, The Mandalorian risks, far, far more. In the end, he risks his identity. He grows and changes to save the child. And he loves the kid so much that his ego — that wounded thing inside him that fights to hold onto his code, that won’t let him take off his helmet, that holds onto all the pain and the trauma because the Ego needs it; believes without it, he won’t exist. That same thing in all of us that clings tightly to who we believe we are — that it gets in the way of us becoming someone better — that won’t let go even when things about us, threaten to destroy us and everyone else around us. The Mandalorian loves the kid so much, so unselfishly, that he lets him go. He doesn’t do it to be the hero. He doesn’t do it to save the kid’s life, or his own. He does it because the child needs it from him. And he loves the child so much, he has to give it to him. Loves him enough to let him go, even though it had to hurt like hell, even though, he’s probably not going to know who the hell he is for a while. Because his ego has been dissolved in an act of selfless love. THAT is a story. That is a character arc. That is an ENDING.And while I could quibble over beats or choices or minor things, when you see the whole arc of what’s really going on, I don’t know why you would waste your time. It’s like complaining about a rainbow because you think it should be six inches to the left. It’s f*****g rainbow jackass! If you’re not going to enjoy it, you’re not going to enjoy anything.

For our Six Degrees of Kill Bill series, we'll be talking about a wide array of movies that Quentin Tarantino has referenced or cited as an influence on his 2004 film, but no film may be as influential on KILL BILL as Toshiya Fujita's Japanese revenge classic LADY SNOWBLOOD. In this episode, we'll discuss the film's origin as a popular manga, and how the unlikely hiring of Fujita and screenwriter Kazuo Koike came to be. We also go down a rabbit hole regarding the Meiji era of Japanese history and how this historical context informs not only the manga, but the film itself. (I know that sounds boring as shit, but trust us, it's actually super cool.)

Feeling that itch for more in the vein of Star Wars: The Mandalorian? Look no further, allow us to present: Lone Wolf and Cub: Sword of Vengeance. A Japanese film from 1972 that kicked off a six movie franchise, and was the first screen adaptation of the Lone Wolf and Cub manga by writer Kazuo Koike and artist Goseki Kojima. Matt and Trevor watched Lone Wolf and Cub: Sword of Vengeance as a way to kick off our discussion about the grander Lone Wolf and Cub phenomenon. Joining them in the Nighthawks conceptual diner is the guys' favorite Asian cinema guru. Marc Walkow has worn many hats in his life including festival programmer, film distributor, defacto translator, producer, and lawyer. During his time working professionally in film, Marc produced some of the special feature content for the Criterion Collection's Lone Wolf and Cub boxed set. Marc gives Nighthawks listeners the inside scoop on the Lone Wolf and Cub series, the grander cultural touchstone that is the Kazuo Koike manga, director Kenji Misumi, producer Shintarô Katsu, and actor Tomisaburo Wakayama.
And now a rambling and too brief review of the classic samurai epic, "Lone Wolf & Cub" by Kazuo Koike and Goseka Kojima, one of the most influential manga's to this day.

I look at the late, great manga writer's non-terrible and actually good collaborations with Ryoichi Ikegami. Anyone looking to make a drinking game out of this episode is advised to take a shot each time I mention "female wish fulfillment" when talking about "Crying Freeman." It really wasn't something I was expecting to engage with before re-reading it...

Last week we sadly lost two influential mangaka whose works have become cultural institutions. Kazuhiko Kato, more popularly known by his pen name Monkey Punch, and Kazuo Koike have both passed away due to pneumonia. It’s bittersweet that Koike’s final tweets were reminiscing on his friend and rival, as both of their iconic series competed for popularity in Weekly Manga Action over nearly 50 years ago. His very last internet words were “I’m really going to miss him,” and we at Manga Mavericks feel the same about both creators. Lupin the Third is a franchise we both adore and one that has endured and entertained generations. Many of Koike’s works, including Lone Wolf and Cub, are absolute classics, and his legacy and influence on the medium can be seen through the numerous talents he helped nurture like Rumiko Takahashi and Tetsuo Hara, among many others. Both creators’ influence extend beyond manga, having even influence film directors abroad like Steven Spielberg and Quentin Tarantino through film adaptations of their works. So while we mourn their passing, we also find solace that their life’s work and legacy will continue to live on. Though we’d like to spend more time eulogizing them, there’s been a lot of other news in the manga world we need to talk about. There’re new series, new licenses, and exciting opportunities for aspiring mangaka to break-in to the industry! Plus, we’ve got two new Jump Starts to talk about! Or, rather, “Manga Plus Starts” since they’re exclusive to that service. Did Heart Gear and Spy x Family soote our broken hearts, or are they series we’d rather exclude from the Manga Plus family? Listen in and find out! Look forward to next week’s podcast where we answer all your We Never Learn Q&As AND make an exciting announcement! What could it be? You’ll have to listen and see!

In light of Kazuo Koike�s recent passing, the film I�ve chosen for this episode is an adaptation of his most famous creation�Lone Wolf and Cub. Released in 1972 and starring Tomisaburo Wakayama, Lone Wolf and Cub: Sword of Vengeance was the first of six films based on Koike�s manga. It�s the story of a former shogunate executioner framed for treason who must become an assassin for hire, accompanied by his young son.

Después del primer episodio nos hemos quitado el óxido de encima, nos hemos vuelto a desintoxicar y volvemos una semana más (y las que nos quedan) Esta semana Lluís nos trae El Lobo Solitario y su cachorro, publicada a partir de 1970 por Kazuo Koike y Goseki Kojima es probablemente la mayor epopeya narrada en un manga japonés. Los veinte tomos que recopilan esta obra histórica de culto han influenciado enormemente ya no solo a autores de su país, donde la historia ha sido también llevada al cine en diferentes adaptaciones con notable éxito, sino también a creadores occidentales como Frank Miller o Max Allan Collins, que han bebido de sus páginas para recrear trabajos propios como Ronin o Camino a la Perdición. Ante la duda, Alex nos trae esta semana que no sabe si ya la ha comentado anteriormente. Si es el caso, se siente… Habla de la película Partes privadas, cinta de Betty Thomas del año 1997. Se trata de un biopic de Howard Sternn, un locutor de radio de los años 70 y 80, y de cómo llegó a convertirse en el locutor más escuchado de todo Nueva York y prácticamente de Estados Unidos. Curiosamente, el propio Howard Stern es quien se interpreta a sí mismo en la película. Todo un “Juan Palomo”, vamos. Y cómo de costumbre para acabar, Ismael nos trae el mejor exclusivo (según su criterio) de Playstation 4 hasta la fecha; Bloodborne de From Software publicado en 2015. Título en el cual nos adentraremos en las calles de Yharnam para enfrentarnos a toda clase de bestias y criaturas que no tendrán piedad sobre nosotros tan pronto nos echen la vista encima. Y con esto y unos ecos de sangre, volveremos la semana que viene. Puede que con más chistes de pollas.

This time around DM and Vinnie do a supplementary episode to Vinnie's Golden Ani-versary article looking at two of the classic OVAs from that year, Cyber City Oedo 808 and Mad Bull 34.
In this issue: This week, Stephen and Matthew take a look at 47 Ronin #1 from Dark Horse Comics. Among the best-known tales in Japanese history, the legend of the 47 Ronin and their epic mission to avenge their disgraced master epitomizes the samurai code of honor. It has been said, “To know the story of the 47 Ronin is to know Japan.” Retold through the ages, the legend at last comes to comics in a meticulously researched and beautifully illustrated miniseries from Mike Richardson, Stan Sakai, and editorial consultant Kazuo Koike! Recounting this sweeping tale of honor and violence in all its grandeur, chapter one details the tragic incident that would seal the fate of Lord Asano and set forty-seven of his vassals on a years-long path of vengeance!

Continuando nossos podcasts falando dos excelentes mangás roteirizados pelo mestre Kazuo Koike, falamos desta vez sobre Crying Freeman que conta com a arte de Ryoichi Ikegami. Uma obra excepcional com altas doses de violência e erotismo que conta a história do Sr. Yo, um jovem ceramista japonês que ao denunciar um assassinato, é recrutado à força pelos 108 Dragões, uma organização criminosa chinesa que, através de uma técnica de hipnose e acupuntura, o transforma em seu assassino principal e logo depois, em seu novo líder. Devido a um efeito colateral de seu treinamento, Yo sempre derrama lágrimas após matar alguém, daí seu codinome "Crying" (chorando) Esta série foi exibida no Japão de 1989 a 1992. Já em 1995, é produzido um filme para cinema, dirigido por Cristophe Gans. Angélica Hellish e Marcos Noriega convidaram para conversar sobre a obra os amigos Eduardo Cosso do Internet Discada, Destino Poltrona e Dimensão Nerd, Sr. Seu Panda do Cruzador Fantasma e do Pauta Livre News e André Faccas do Quadrim Citados: Ovas de Crying Freeman (em inglês) Trailer do filme Masmorra Cast sobre: Lady Snowblood - Lobo Solitário Podecash falando de Avatar A Lenda de Aang Masmorra no Twitter e no Facebook

Espada de aluguel, filho de aluguel: Lobo Solitário e Filhote (em japonês - Kozure Ookami) ("Lone Wolf & Cub" em inglês) é um mangá que começou a ser publicado no ano de 1970 no Japão, com criação e roteiro de Kazuo Koike (nascido em 1936), também criador de Crying Freeman), e arte de Goseki Kojima (1928-2000). Ainda hoje é considerado uma das obras primas do mangá, pelo excelente argumento e os belíssimos desenhos de Goseki Kojima, e inspirou várias adaptações para cinema nos anos 1980. (Os filmes baseados em Lobo Solitário e Filhote são conhecidos por sua fidelidade à história do mangá). Além do Lobo Solitário, Kazuo Koike e Goseki Kojima criaram os mangás Kubikiri Asa (Samurai Executor), em 10 Volumes (1972-1976), e Hanzo no Mon (O Caminho do Assassino), em 15 Volumes (1978-1984), sendo que o primeiro foi publicado no Brasil pela Panini, e o segundo ainda é inédito no Brasil. Ambos são igualmente inspirados nos samurais do Período Edo. Lady Snowblood (Yuki), escrito por Kazuo Koike, foi publicado no Brasil pela Conrad Editora. As histórias de Lobo Solitário e Filhote se passam no Período Edo da história do Japão. Os personagens principais são Itto Ogami e seu filho Daigoro. Os membros do clã Ogami eram destinados a se tornar os executores (kaishakunin), a única autoridade com permissão para matar um daimyo (senhor Feudal). Mas a família Yagyu arquitetou uma farsa para que Itto fosse acusado de traição e condenado ao seppuku: executou todo o clã Ogami, exceto Itto e seu filho Daigoro, então recém-nascido; escondeu em seu templo pessoal uma tábua funerária com o símbolo do shogunato; e preparou uma falsa confissão zankanjo dizendo onde o objeto estaria escondido. Uma confissão zankanjo era uma declaração de culpa assinada com o sangue de um samurai que se matava em seguida. Se o plano tivesse funcionado, o executor seria condenado, cometeria suicídio e deixaria seu posto vago. O clã Yagyu—que já tinha a função de assassinos secretos do shogun—passariam a ser também os kaishakunin. Eles já controlavam os shinobi Kurokuwa, a terceira polícia política do shogun. Itto não se matou e escolheu trilhar a estrada do assassino (Meifumado). Na tentativa de impedir que Itto escapasse à sentença, o líder dos Yagyu propôs-lhe um duelo. (O simples assassinato do Ogami consistiria de um crime, porque ele ainda carregava a Rosa-malva, um emblema oficial do shogunato). Num duelo de apenas um golpe, Itto matou seu oponente, demonstrando sua excepcional habilidade, mesmo em situações desvantajosas: Itto lutou carregando o filho nas costas e com a luz do sol incidindo em seu rosto. Esta frase de um dos Yagyu descreve bem a dificuldade que Itto enfrentou no duelo: "Kurato luta com o sol poente nas costas… e Ogami está com o filho nas dele[…]Nenhum dos dois luta sozinho, mas o desfecho está claro!" Após a recusa ao suicídio, Ogami Itto passa a andar pelo Japão como um assassino de aluguel, sendo contratado geralmente para matar alvos difíceis e pessoas influentes. O filho de Itto é uma criança prodígio. Aparenta não ter mais de quatro anos, mas foi educado na ética inflexível do pai. Quando Itto decidiu tornar-se um assassino, ele era apenas um bebê. Seu pai lhe ofereceu uma bola e uma espada e caso a criança escolhesse a bola, ele a mataria: "Daigoro! Você deve achar seu próprio caminho!

Podcast manga review of Color of Rage. Story by Kazuo Koike. Art by Seisaku Kano. Translated by Naomi Kokubo with assistance of Jeff Carlson. Originally published by Koike Shoin Publishing in 2004. Published in US by Dark Horse, $14.95, Rated Mature 18+. George and King, two slaves, have escaped from their servitude on a whaling ship only to find themselves washed up on the shores of a Japan in crisis. A volcanic eruption has just recently killed 20,000 people, and a poor harvest is causing famine across the land. Peasants have begun rebelling against their masters or abandoning their farms. Neither of which sit very well with the nobility, who count on the farmers to work their lands. George, who is Japanese, can fit into the situation very easily. But what to do about King, an African American, whose skin color alone will cause the two to stand out? It's not only his race that brings unwanted attention. King believes that he has to stand up against anyone that oppresses their fellow man. Even if it means killing a lot of corrupt lords and government officials. King and George fall into adventure as they seek for a place where people are judged on their own merits, not by race or money. My Grade: A-
