51:43 / 58:10-58:20

The camera pans down and you can see the two dead guys on the ground. The following scene also starts an insignificant moment earlier.

9.4 sec

52:17 / 58:54-61:17

Completely missing is how Bondo enters the room and immediately jumps Sarai. Meanwhile, Tsurugi and Rakuda climb up the rope from outside. When Tsurugi climbs through the window, he attacks Bondo - and immediately castrates him, or rather, rips out his scrotum. Bondo remains lying in a pool of blood. After some dialogue, Sarai rappels down. Rakuda, meanwhile, speaks to Tsurugi and when he climbs down as well, the R-rated kicks in.

Note: Through this cut, Sarai merely waves to her liberators on the boat and right after that Tsurugi is suddenly up there with her and climbs down again. The fact that something is missing here should certainly be noticeable directly to most viewers.

143.9 sec (= 2:14 min)

52:38 / 61:38-61:57

A henchman in green rappels down at the end of the shot. Tsurugi then takes care of him and others on the way back to the boat. Afterwards, a bit of harmless dialogue is missing.

19.1 sec

52:51 / 62:10-62:30

A few (harmless) fight scenes are missing here as well. Thanks to strange camera angles, hardly anything can be seen though, even in the widescreen original version.

18.7 sec

63:42 / 73:21-73:32

Tsurugi turns once more and then hits the guy on the head with his hand. A lot of blood runs down.

11.3 sec

65:11 / 75:02-75:03

Master error: The ship can be seen insignificantly earlier.

1.3 sec


68:42 / 78:35-78:48

In a corridor Tsurugi finishes off several more enemies.

13.1 sec

69:26 / 79:32

When Tsurugi runs into the baddies on the stairs, a short close-up with a kick to the face is missing right from the start.

0.7 sec

69:31 / 79:37-80:29

At the end of the sequence, he also finishes off the remaining opponents, some of them bloody. Further bad guys come from above and Tsurugi fights them off. From above, Tsurugi jumps on someone's back, who spits out some blood. Another guy gets hit in the stomach and has to throw up. Tsurugi breaks the arm of the next guy.

52.1 sec

69:34 / 80:32-81:15

Tsurugi still turns away to the side and then attacks some more people. Thus, some fight scenes are missing again, largely harmless. At the end, Tsurugi sabers one's face away, but this is only hinted at from the back of the head.

43.3 sec

69:44 / 81:26-81:56

Tsurugi first meets another opponent at the top of the stairs and presses his foot on the throat. You can hear cracking sounds, the guy dies. In the corridor above he kills three more attackers, two of them fall down.

30.4 sec

70:02 / 82:14-82:16

The file (?) lands in the neck of the baddie.

1.8 sec

70:46 / 83:00-83:49

Of course, the short tracking shot with zoom is missing, during which a baddie slams to the floor with a big splash of blood.
Afterwards Tsurugi walks a bit through the corridor, disarms a first attacker there, kicks the pistol out of the hand of a second one and then kills him. Thereupon he is shot at by the boss, but throws another file into her hand.

49.1 sec

70:52 / 83:55-84:33

Tsurugi jumps on the boss longer and kills her with a final blow. After that he turns his attention to a guy hiding behind a chair. With an elbow blow (and a weird grimace) he kills him, too.

37.7 sec

71:43 / 85:23-85:24

Master error at the beginning of a shot.

0.8 sec



73:35 / 87:17-88:53

The boss stabs again and the guy goes down, covered in blood. Another suit on the right of the picture also gets stabbed in the stomach.
Following this, it is also completely missing how Nachi throws herself into Tsurugi's arms to hold him down. Shikenbaru now stabs her through the back and thus also into Tsurugi's stomach. With the last of his strength, Tsurugi pushes her to the side and staggers away. Shikenbaru slowly walks back towards him.

96 sec (= 1:36 min)

73:42 / 89:00-89:05

Tsurugi twitches a little longer on the ground.

5.4 sec

73:51 / 89:14-89:20

Again Tsurugi lies longer on the ground, Shikenbaru stands over him.

4.9 sec

74:02 / 89:31-90:13

Tsurugi holds his hand longer on Shikenbaru's neck and blood runs down. Tsurugi now has the upper hand again and rips out Shikenbaru's vocal cords. He still grins maniacally and slowly picks himself up again.

43.3 sec

After the end note (incl. reference to the sequel), the VHS still has a copyright notice.
