I am afraid of fighting

I am afraid of being beaten

and losing

But I am more afraid of

surviving as a cripple

than dying while I am fighting!

I hear the wind howl

I hear the fear inside of me

END OF THE PACIFIC WAR - 1945

A:

Stop!

That's how I began to dream

of being a pilot

But the end of the Pacific War

ended my dream

Stop!

You'll be dead

The end of the war

was driving people mad

Who are they?

They're Koreans who refused

to fly in the Kamikaze

Let them go!

But

Yes, sir!

The Kamikaze is a sacred ceremony

We can't stain it

with the blood of Koreans

You bastards!

You're just using us

as human shields

When did you teach us

how to fly?

Sh*t!

Who the hell are you?

What insolence

you Korean!

How dare you defy

His Majesty's rule?

Fine, shoot me

Pilot? Aviation school?

I don't give a damn anymore

Go ahead, you bastards!

Stop it

Not bad for a greenhorn

What's that silly skill?

It's called Taekkyeon

a Korean martial art

Korean martial arts?

Let me make an offer

If you defeat me in a fight, I'll

let you and your friends live

But if you lose, I'll

only kill you Gruesomely

What do you think?

It seems you care

about your life indeed

Baedal!

Are you scared?

Showing your back in a fight

you certainly are Korean

You don't have enough honor

to learn martial arts

Baedal, Baedal!

Wake up!

And so that year passed...

Japan surrendered unconditionally

because of the atomic bomb

And my country was liberated

However, only devastation was left

after the war ended

Similarly, my courage was left

in ruins after that defeat

Give me a chocolate

Give me a chocolate

Give me a chocolate

Bumsoo

Baedal

Bumsoo, I'm sorry to show myself

to you like this

greatest circus!

Can you have ti see it

Man on the fly

beautiful women on the swing

A man walking on the rope

Here, have some soup

Oh, kimchi Great!

It's been quite long

By the way, those yakuzas

do you know them?

You cannot avoid dealing with them

when you're the guard for a circus

They're extra trouble for a troupe

like ours, with lots of Koreans

Aren't those ration tickets?

They're as good as money

Why don't you use them

instead of just collecting them?

We are planning to build a school

for the Korean kids in this area

They shouldn't forget our language

even though they've left Korea

I see

Baedal, how are your parents?

Bumsoo!

Teach me

how to be a fighter

Bumsoo wouldn't give up his will

Baedal must be very cold

You, poor thing!

Baedal!

Bumsoo!

Baedal, if you make a fist

you can't grasp anything

not friends, not earth

nor sky

But if you unclench your fist

you can hold the whole world

Baedal, practice martial arts hard

to protect yourself

Bumsoo, why are you saying that?

You understand what I mean?

Get him!

Follow him!

Get him!

Shoot!

Get him!

Little master, use your abilities

to protect yourself and others

Live fairly, and protect

the things you care about

What's he doing?

I remember he said he would never

teach the martial arts as they can be

as deadly as poison

Well, he must be different

from someone

Damn

What? How rude you are

to an old lady like me!

Bastard!

BOOK OF FIVE RINGS

BY MIYAMOTO MUSASHI

Justice without power is empty but

power without justice is only

violence

A warrior always keeps

his sword sharp but he never

draws it without a cause

Miyamoto Musashi

the best swordsman ever

will be a good teacher for you

Pachinko!

Pachinko!

I'm sorry

You stupid bastards!

The bed-wetter of Ikebukuro!

Is that why you begged

for your life? To live like that?
