For those saying Shimazu died for nothing, He let John in as he is Excommunicado and Shimazu knew well about this. Caine let Shimazu and Akira walk away but if they both did, they will be hunted by The High Table since they broke the rules so Shimazu literally had no choice but to sacrifice himself so Akira can walk away free but Caine gave many chances and had no choice but to kill Shimazu.
True! That's why when Caine said, "Take care of your daughter," Shimazu's response was, "I am." He had to die in order for her to be freed from being hunted.
I just like the fact that he seems to "gaze" in completely random directions throughout, almost like he's making constant microadjustments to keep tabs on his surroundings at all times.
@@Seizhin Worse, they would have put Shimazu in the same position as Caine: A servant unable to ever see his daughter again. And she probably would have gotten herself killed trying to reunite them.
These guys gave up their positions in The High table, their families and their very lives to save John Wick…. That goes to show how terrifiyingly great of a hitman John was during his time and also how much love/respect his peers had for him to go that far 💯
Maybe I'm missing something here, but Akira's vendetta is kinda' dumb. She literally witnessed Caine attempt to spare Shimazu repeatedly, and he only died because he basically gave Caine no choice. Sure it sucks that he killed her father, but it was Shimazu's fault for being so stubborn.
Shimazu wasn't being stubborn, he offered Wick sanctuary after he was declared Excommunicado. That is breaking "The Rules" of the High Table and the underground. If someone is declared Excommunicado, offering them sanctuary is forfeiting your life. That is why you DO NOT break the rules, which Wick did by killing someone on Continental grounds. Shimazu had no choice but to be killed here. Caine was trying to be nice, but in reality it was a hollow gesture. Both Caine and Shimazu knew the rules, even if he escaped with his daughter, it was certain both Shimazu and his daughter were going to be hunted by The High Table. When Shimazu said "I AM!" after Caine said "Think of your daughter", it was because he knew he had to die. Otherwise The High Table was going to hunt Akira along with hunting Shimazu. They would have taken her hostage, or torchered / killed her to get to him. Though now he's dead, The High Table has no reason to go after her. In all honesty, the kindness Caine was showing Shimazu here was putting on a show for Akira. Caine and Shimazu both knew what had to happen. Caine let Shimazu fight, show honor, all while maintaining his commitment to "following the right path". Not letting yourself go back on your word, and the debt Shimazu owed to Wick. While also letting Shimazu "die with dignity", instead of having to take his own to protect Akira.
The High Table and The Marquis would send people to hunt down Koji and Akira if they both left alive after what occurred at the Osaka Continental. Caine wanted both to live so he offered Koji the chance to let him know where John went as he could use that as leverage to argue why he left without killing them off(he got what he needed). Problem is Koji wasn't willing to give up John's safety like that and failing to give that information meant he and his daughter were guaranteed to be hunted down. By giving up his life for the sake of his daughter Koji guaranteed The High Table and The Marquis wouldn't have a reason to go after Akira.
@c0nvict_pleb174 Caine spared his life multiple times, and told him to walk away, yet Koji kept on pushing it to the point where Caine was left no other choice. And Akira has the nerve to blame him since Caine was just defending himself. Shit I'm almost certain that if the table had gone after Koji and/or Caine for not dying there, the three of them (John, Caine and Koji) could've teamed up to fight the table.
Cain wasn’t after either of them. The entire point of attacking him was to die at his hands to keep the High Table from hunting them down. If he’d have left with his daughter like Cain told him to they would have died. He fought Cain with the intent of losing.
Caine knew Amira would eventually come after him for payback. But instead of warning her against it he just said he’d be waiting for her, cuz he knew she was owed that.
more like caine knew talking her out of revenge would be impossible, if he thought he could convince her to not fight him to avenge her father he would've tried that.
Can someone tell me the origin of Caine's opening stance? The closest resemblance I can see is that it's an inversion of Niman from Star Wars, but I doubt that's where it's from.
So after I stop mazda from shanking Suzuki We will tell y'all the story of how Denzel Washington and his doctor help me stitch him up. I'm telling you without me. This story isn't gonna be as awesome as it's gonna be.Thank you
Big fan of Donnie Yen, but I do not like his character here bc it is just unrealistic for any blind man do any fight like these no matter how good they are for their ears.
@@rustonh316 YEah, I thought that too at first. But he's credited only as Shimazu...so I thought Koji would be some kind of dearly nickname? It maybe means something in japanese?
