Violence supervision in Conan

Chapter 747 The Goddess of Vengeance, Blood Splattered at Aoba House (Part 1)

Having noticed Rumi Wakasa's skill, Makoto Kyogoku couldn't resist the urge to "exchange" some skills with her.

The searching gaze fell on Rumi Wakasa in the front row.

At the same time, Rumi Wakasa also seemed to sense something, and she turned her head in an instant, her gaze fixed on Makoto Kyogoku.

However, due to the dense crowd and the darkness, no one noticed Makoto Kyogoku.

Upon noticing Rumi Wakasa's keen reaction, Makoto Kyogoku became excited again. She truly is a master!

I wasn't mistaken!
Kyogoku Makoto was immediately delighted at the sight of his prey.

After being repeatedly defeated by Ono Takeshi, Kyogoku Makoto's desire for martial arts grew even stronger and purer. He wanted to challenge any skilled opponent he encountered in order to hone his skills and one day catch up with Ono Takeshi.

With Wakasa Rumi as his rival, he refocused his attention on the film.

Although the Copperhead was powerful, it was still no match for the Black Mamba, who was determined to seek revenge. Seeing that she was at a disadvantage, her daughter happened to come home from school at that moment.

At 10 years old, Scarlett Johansson was not yet as glamorous as the future Black Widow, but she was already a stunning beauty.

Seeing the copperhead snake's pleading eyes, Black Mamba's human side prevailed, and he chose to sheathe his knife.

The two, who were fighting for their lives one moment, were as friendly as neighbors visiting each other the next.

Copperhead's daughter had no suspicions, and after he returned to his room, the two temporarily ceased their activities.

But Black Mamba's arrival this time means one of them is destined to die.

Even though Copperhead had retired from crime, married, and had children, Black Mamba still had no intention of letting her go.

A blood feud that will never end!
Knowing there was no way to turn the tide, Copperhead Hydra chose to launch a preemptive attack, but was mercilessly killed by Black Mamba.

Looking at the copper-headed snake lying in a pool of blood, Black Mamba shifted his gaze to the doorway, where a young, innocent face appeared before him.

A moment of silence.

"If you want revenge, come find me."

Black Mamba coldly uttered a sentence to the little girl who was staring at him with hatred, and then strode away.

Instead of eliminating the threat completely, she chose to let the other party go.

However, the scene of her mother being killed before her eyes will inevitably become a nightmare for this child. For a child who grows up with hatred on his back, revenge will probably become the goal of living.

Black Mamba has gone from being an avenger to being the target of revenge.

This scene cruelly and profoundly demonstrates the Eastern philosophy of "an eye for an eye," as well as the fatalistic cycle and helplessness.

The audience, who understood what was happening, fell silent.

Back in the car, Black Mamba underlined the second-ranked word in his notebook.

The audience's attention, however, was focused on the first row.

There was also a crossed-out name above—

Ishii Goren!

……

The scene changes again, returning to the hospital.

The film once again employs a flashback narrative.

This narrative technique of "results first" breaks the linear logic of traditional revenge stories, keeping the audience constantly questioning the "cause" and anticipating the "effect".

In the video, a woman in a vegetative state lies unconscious on a hospital bed, completely unaware of her surroundings.

Even so, the assassin organization still had no intention of letting her go.

Rena Mizunashi, playing the assassin "California Mountain Snake" Al, makes her entrance, disguised as a nurse, whistling as she walks through the hospital.

His face wore a confident and flippant expression.

This famous whistle comes from Roy Borting's "Devil Angel". In its previous life, this scene became a well-known and talked-about moment among movie fans, and it still brings a strong feeling to the audience today.

Everyone's tension rose with the female assassin's whistling.

How exactly did the female protagonist escape this calamity?
The camera followed El's footsteps, gradually arriving at Black Mamba's bedside. Just as El was about to inject the poison into Black Mamba's body, a phone call from Oni Takeshi stopped her at the crucial moment.

"Why did this guy both try to kill the female lead and then stop the assassin at the last moment?"

Ran Mouri asked, puzzled.

Conan hesitated for a moment, then sighed: "Perhaps he still harbors feelings for the female lead that are hard to let go of."

Ran Mouri nodded, her kind heart willing to believe this explanation; even villains have emotional ties.

The camera then shifts again, revealing four words:

"Four years later."

The female protagonist finally wakes up and announces the start of her revenge in the most domineering way!
Her first step was to have Hattori Hanzo forge a weapon for revenge, which then led her to the easiest target for vengeance—

Japanese Yakuza Queen Ishii Oren!

Next, the background of Ishii Oren is explained, allowing the audience to learn about the legendary experience of a pitiful girl who lost both her parents to the yakuza, and who eventually killed her enemies and ascended to the throne of the yakuza queen.

Directors such as Akira Kurosawa and Nagisa Oshima showed surprised expressions, not expecting Takeshi Onino to unexpectedly use the form of a manga here.

In this film, Takeshi Ono has made many novel and different attempts, breaking the traditional film framework and full of strong personal style, which surprised the older generation.

It seems that Ono Takeshi's abilities are constantly improving.

"Youth is truly wonderful..."

Akira Kurosawa smiled and shook his head.

He was pleased that Takeshi Ono did not rest on his past laurels, but continued to explore and experiment, actively expanding and searching for his own path as a supervisor.

Japanese cinema has a worthy successor!
Others were also impressed, and were completely convinced that this young supervisor, who was younger than them, had already surpassed them in achievements.

What they saw next surprised them once again.

Black Mamba arrived in Tokyo and went straight to the hotel where O-Ren Ishii was staying—Aoba-ya!

The scene shifts!
Before the scene even appeared, a burst of highly rhythmic music suddenly entered the audience's ears.

Clang! Clang! Bang! Bang!
Swish!
Many people instinctively sat up straight.

This music is so moving!

Akira Kurosawa and the others looked surprised. What powerful music!
Before anyone could react, a dashing woman dressed in a white kimono, wearing wooden clogs, and holding a long sword appeared before them!

The entire Aoba-ya was filled with rhythmic background music.

A disdainful and unrestrained smile appeared on the woman's heroic face as she walked slowly forward, her steps measured.

His white robes were as white as snow, and his sword sheath was jet black.

His murderous aura was restrained, yet his arrogance was overwhelming!

Surrounded by a group of burly men in black, their powerful aura swept over everyone, overwhelming the entire scene!
Takeshi Ono used a multi-angle alternating shooting method to show Ishii Oren's appearance, which can be said to have made her 1.5-meter height look like 1.8 meters.

With the classic background music and composition, it instantly highlights the identity of Ishii Oren as the queen of the yakuza to its peak!

The audience felt a chill run down their spines!
"So, so cool!!"

Yuno Gasai, Sonoko Suzuki, Ran Mouri, and the others all stared wide-eyed, completely captivated by Oren Ishii's aura.

"Hmph, this woman got away with it again."

Gin curled his lip in disdain, but inwardly he had to admit that Vermouth on screen was indeed formidable.
