1-Ichi

The film delves into the life of Ichi during his high school years, where he encounters Mr. Dai, the most formidable fighter at school. Though Mr. Dai perceives Ichi's constant presence and grin as mockery, it is revealed that Ichi derives pleasure from observing the intense violence inherent in these confrontations. Despite facing relentless bullying, ridicule, and contempt even from children in his karate class, Ichi chooses to suppress his rage and refrain from engaging in physical altercations.As the narrative progresses, a new transfer student joins the fray, enforcing his dominance through brutal displays of force that leave victims crippled. In an encounter with this belligerent individual, Mr. Dai suffers a devastating defeat, leaving him physically battered and near-defeated. This newcomer seems intent on challenging Ichi, who he believes is the only one capable of providing a formidable fight due to his reputation for self-restraint and nonviolent behavior.
