Ichi the Killer a question for fans
 

Have trawled the internet for info on this and just cant find anything. Ichi's still my fave movie of all time, but am still scratching my head over what probably is a very important part of it... Question is Is Kakihara human, or is there a subtle supernatural twist? There's little clues throughout that would suggest he has the ability to self generate.. if so it would also make more sense of the ending...

thanks in advance

I think he's human. Honestly, I need to watch the movie again though, because it's been quite a while since I've seen it... hell of a fun movie though.

Here's Dr. Boogie's take on it in case you haven't already read his in-depth review:

Well, they're comic-bookish so the rules are there to be bent a little. I also think much of the end is a fantasy sequence.
