Violence supervision in Conan

Chapter 731 The Intimidating Yakuza Queen! Rumi Wakasa VS Ran Mouri

Everyone is ready.

"Action!"

At Ono Takeshi's command, the entire crew immediately began to work together seamlessly.

The first thing that appears in the shot is a very distinctive Japanese-style building.

This is a hotel belonging to the yakuza organization under Ishii Oren, and also one of her strongholds.

The moment Vermouth, playing Oren Ishii, appeared with her subordinates, Takeshi Ono's mind automatically conjured up a highly dynamic and rhythmic soundtrack.

This scene can be considered the most talked-about and classic moment in the entire movie.

As Ishii Oren stepped onto the stage to the rhythm of the drums, her aura of a powerful figure immediately became apparent.

It's not just the setting and music that support it; Vermouth also perfectly embodies this.

In the scene, Vermouth, who plays Ishii Oren, is dressed in a white kimono and wooden clogs. Her long neck is held high, her thin lips are pursed, her gaze is cold, and she exudes an imposing and dignified aura.

The change in his gaze when he looked up carried an inherent sense of oppressive power.

Although she is a woman, her every move exudes the demeanor of a powerful figure, making her someone not to be underestimated.

On his right is the uniformed beauty assassin GOGO (Ran Mouri), and on his left is the lawyer Sophie (Eri Kisaki), who acts as his strategist. They are like guardians protecting Ishii Oren, and follow his lead.

Behind her were her 'Crazy 88', Ishii Oren's elite henchmen, a mixed-race group (44 Chinese and 44 Japanese).

Dressed in black suits, with arrogant eyes and haughty demeanor, each of them with fierce faces, they followed behind Ishii Oren, perfectly embodying her identity as a yakuza queen.

Ishii Oren, dressed in white, stood out conspicuously among a group of burly men in black, like a white lotus flower born from the mud, containing deadly poison.

The character's name comes from the female ninja character in the Japanese TV series "Shadow Legion 4," while the surname "Ishii" gives her a unique identity.

The character design is inspired by the crime queen in Kinji Fukasaku's film "Black Lizard".

It must be said that Quentin Tarantino does have a special fondness for Eastern films.

Although these two movies don't exist in this world, Takeshi Ono still used this image, and despite not having the original image to enhance the performance, the effect was still outstanding.

The black and white color scheme creates a strong visual contrast and an extremely powerful entrance, leaving a deep impression and drawing continuous praise from the audience.

Director Takeshi Onino really knows how to come up with all sorts of creative ideas!

Onino Takeshi: (_)
Moreover, Takeshi Ono used multiple angles to showcase this scene, alternating between close-ups and extreme close-ups with continuous jump cuts and slow motion shots, vividly portraying the arrogance of the underlings and the oppressive aura of the yakuza queen.

With the overexposed lighting and superb soundtrack, the overall atmosphere has reached its peak, and it is believed that it will bring a different experience to the audience when it is released.

Even Vermouth was quite pleased with her appearance; she liked the feeling of walking with such confidence.

The villain, Oni no Takeshi Ishii Oren, is portrayed as so powerful precisely to set the stage for the upcoming battle.

And this will be the climax of the entire series!
Soon, it was the female lead's turn to appear.

Dressed in a clean and sharp yellow martial arts uniform, he slowly entered the arena carrying a samurai sword, his eyes cold and his face resolute.

There was no cowardice or fear in his expression, only the flames of revenge!

It instantly created the feeling of a lone hero venturing into a dangerous situation.

Rumi Wakasa's performance here is spot-on; both her eyes and expressions convey the suppressed anger within her.

And an unwavering determination!
Ono Takeshi didn't know if she was thinking about her past experiences and hatred for the brewery at that moment, but he was very satisfied with her performance.

Then, Takeshi Ono used a two-minute long take with a large crane to emphasize the heroine's entrance.

O-Ren Ishii exudes an imposing aura, but the heroine Black Mamba, who comes with a heart full of revenge, is no pushover either.

King versus king!
A life-or-death battle between the two sides is about to break out!
The tension before the battle instantly intensified, even the staff on site couldn't help but hold their breath. Then the battle began with Sophie's blood!
Black Mamba didn't hide; instead, he kidnapped the lone Sophie and openly challenged Ishii Oren.

The moment the latter appeared, their eyes met, and Ishii Oren immediately recognized Black Mamba, surprised to find that she was still alive.

Black Mamba, his anger stirred by his enemy, severed Sophie's arm with a single blow, using her blood to provoke Ishii Oren.

This also heralded the beginning of revenge, a fight to the death!

Eri Kisaki's character, Sophie, collapses to the ground clutching her severed arm, wailing in agony, with blood splattering everywhere. Yet, within the overall composition, the scene presents a unique and eerie beauty.

It fully demonstrates what "violent aesthetics" means!
Seeing his trusted aide in such a pitiful state, Ishii Oren remained unmoved, but his eyes suddenly turned cold, revealing an undisguised murderous intent.

The extras pretended to be frightened and scattered, leaving only Black Mamba and Ishii Oren in the huge building.

Black Mamba, his chest stained with blood, walked slowly against the flow of people toward Ishii Oren.

A massacre is about to begin.

Unbeknownst to them, everyone present was immersed in the somber atmosphere, inwardly applauding the superb acting skills of the two lead actors.

Whether it's Rumi Wakasa or Vermouth, both actresses portrayed their characters' expressions and inner thoughts with remarkable depth, drawing the audience into the story effortlessly.

Such acting skills are admirable.

……

The battle erupted as Black Mamba's furious gaze met that of O-Ren Ishii's cold stare.

The first one to step forward is Ran Mouri, no, the schoolgirl GOGO.

Seeing her mother being bullied, she immediately became furious... cough cough, wrong answer, it should be that seeing the eldest brother being provoked, she immediately developed a murderous intent towards Black Mamba.

As the top combatant under Ishii Oren, GOGO has this confidence.

Although he looks like a high school student, his hands are already stained with countless lives, and he is extremely ruthless.

He walked downstairs, toying with the meteor hammer-shaped blood-dripping weapon in his hand, while looking down at Black Mamba with a nonchalant yet arrogant and contemptuous gaze, his expression full of disdain.

Conan, watching from the sidelines: As expected of Ran, her acting is superb!
Oni nods in approval as he watches. Ran Mouri has perfectly portrayed GOGO's arrogance and pride, a stark contrast to her previous gentle and elegant image.

Such acting skills are enough to earn the title of "acting powerhouse".

Facing the arrogant GOGO, Black Mamba remained fearless, gripping his katana, his eyes growing even colder.

Next up is the head-to-head confrontation between the two.

Black Mamba VS GOGO!

It's also a match between Rumi Wakasa and Ran Mouri!
In a real, uninhibited fight, Ran Mouri would certainly be no match for Rumi Wakasa, but in the story, Rumi Wakasa's character is the one who is suppressed.

GOGO truly lives up to his reputation as Ishii Oren's top henchman; his attacks are fierce and irresistible.

Ran Mouri swung her flail. Although she didn't know how to use it, her excellent physical fitness, reaction speed, and fighting instincts made her swing it quite skillfully.

It looks incredibly dangerous!

Rumi Wakasa suppressed her strength, reacting to each move as it came. At the beginning of the fight, because she was unfamiliar with her opponent's attack methods, she was forced to retreat repeatedly.

Seeing this, GOGO smiled wickedly, and his meteor hammer became even more ferocious, attacking Black Mamba's vital points with every move.

Ishii Oren stood on the second-floor corridor, coldly watching this scene.

After a brief exchange, Black Mamba began to assess GOGO's strength, gradually stabilizing the situation and turning the tide.

With a slash of his sword, Black Mamba repelled GOGO, and then his eyes changed, becoming serious and focused.

She's getting serious!
