Did anyone notice that there seems to be more than 5 members of F? There were the 5 we've already seen, and then there appears to be what looks like a hunchbacked person in a kimono. I don't know whether that was supposed to represent Nagi. And while we're there, since Nagi has a possible 'open memb...

It's unlikely that they are related. Isuzu was probably one of Mana's high-ranking bodyguards or soldiers.

Hey Fugu, a quick question to ease my confusion. About the 'stun rapiers': A rapier is 'a light sword used for thrusting and fencing'. So shouldn't those lightsaber-like thingies be called 'stun lances'? After all, the Hayabusa bastards use them for jousting, right? Agent Wax

Hell. That guy on the chair look bloody aweful

Agreed. And he's even family... OK, he was a shit of a brother, but still...Christ.

And those Hayabusa bastards should just go to prison and drop the soap. Repeatedly.

Dear all, If you get the chance to watch 'Ong Bak: Muay Thai Warrior' , don't miss it. Straightforward story, but Phanom Yeerom is tha most amazing martial artist and athlete to come out of Asia since Jackie Chan. And no, that's not an exaggeration. It's one thing to watch Keanu Reeves CGed and wire...

Hey, thanks Fugu. Prophetically enough, I just picked up the Hong Kong Chinese Edition yesterday and read it all in one sitting. Fugu was right. There's a crapload of kanji characters in this volume that I can't recognise. My thoughts on this volume: at the risk of attracting the wrath of some forum...

Sounds like a Morote zuki or Yama zuki. I've only done it in kihon and kata. I don't think it would work in kumite. Leaves your torso too vulnerable to counters.

I just watched Kill Bill Vol. 1 on Sunday. Classic Tarantino flair with an incredible soundtrack. Still can't top Reservoir Dogs , but definitely better than From Dusk Till Dawn and perhaps even Pulp Fiction . The cast is brilliant, and special mention goes to Sonny Chiba (who plays Hattori Hanzo wi...

If wishes were fishes, Fugu would be Robin Williams. Or maybe Barbara Eden. No, I don't know what that means, either. It just sounded cool. Thanks, Blowfish. This is another great manga.

A bit late, this. But on the subject of Asian films, Fugu, you need to hunt down a subtitled copy of Infernal Affairs, starring Tony Leung and Andy Lau. It's one of the best films out of Hong Kong in recent years and well-worth the price.

I have 2 volumes of the manga, and have read the other 3. Was going to post something about it, but I forgot. Ikkitousen is a major rip-off of TT (speaking in very unkind terms).

Dear all, I think Shueisha is having some kind of contest where winners can win TJTG fans (the wooden kind). 4 designs, 2 each of Aya and Maya. Also something about posters or trading cards. I think.
