*Spoilers abound* ──Do well-known techniques from the original series, such as “Futae no Kiwami” and “Amakakeru Ryū no Hirameki,” appear or do they not? KO: For those as well, I feel that if I’m going to do them, I want to do them right. However, with Futae no Kiwami, Anji and Sanosuke’s story couldn’t be told well enough in the film in the time allotted. It would have to be done as an extra. Because of that, in the 2-hour constraints for both films, their relationship had to be changed. In film, if you don’t keep it focused on the lead, the viewers won’t know who to empathize with and their attention will get scattered and they’ll lose interest. To tell a necessary story to an acceptable degree in a set amount of time, you end up cutting [techniques like Futae no Kiwami]. That’s unavoidable when you’re thinking about the nature of timed art like films. Though I did want Sanosuke to do something like Sanjū no Kiwami. But, in Kyoto Inferno and of course The Legend Ends, Sanosuke does keep doing an action that resembles Futae no Kiwami. You could say that was my own modest way of taking that on. Everyone, please check it out while watching the film closely. On top of that, in The Legend Ends, we included several things that will make all of you viewers gasp, so look forward to that. My goal was to create something incredibly cool that brought out everything great about the original series, with action that surpassed normal human limits and a dramatic storyline. COMMENT: For the Sano-fans out there.... you may be terribly disappointed at the omission of that techniques training scenes, but it is necessary though painful to be removed :(
