Moe Violence: or How I Struck the Jidaigeki Goldmine

I lost a close friend recently. A really close one and it was the kind of sudden bolt from the blue that’s really just fate waking up and deciding to kick you in the teeth. He liked old Western movies and was enough of a film buff to know how much back-and-forth there was with samurai cinema. So we had a lot of fun talking about movies. Made me want to finally get through a stack of films I’ve dug up on archive.org. Liking what I like, I think this binge has helped get a lot of clarity on where we started with looking at Lady Snowblood & Red Swallow Oyuki. (Oh...by the way. I plum forgot Snowblood’s auntie/confidant type figure was named Okiku. Always has a basket of yellow mums outside her door)

Started with checking out a trio of films the absolutely wonderful Junko Miyazono did after Red Swallow. Series is called Tales of the Poison Seductress; Hannya Ohyaku, Quick-Draw Okatsu, & Okatsu the Fugitive. They’re all standalone, caution though they’re very violent. SA is a factor too but from what I’ve seen most of the scenes may drag but try to keep it not too graphic. I say that as someone pretty turned off but “losing her virtue” is a threat hanging around frequently in these and there’s a torture element. This is 60s/70s Japanese Grindhouse cinema, the type of thing that inspired gory directors like Quentin Tarantino. It ain’t for everyone and that’s why I wanna gush about it here. What I’m getting more and more though is that pinning our beloved Okiku to one jidaigeki reference is a fool’s errand. My dears, she’s an ode to an entire subgenre!

Let’s not split hairs over the specific category of Toei films and slightly different ones with a female lead. The term I see used is “Pinky Violence.” Pinky coming from having female leads and being very sexually charged affairs. Toei needed to do something to compete with more Western movies making it over, so they opted for shock value and the way they went for it ended up giving us a pretty feminist genre. Not to say these were all jidaigeki which means “period drama.” There were a lot of modern ones I have yet to dive into heavily. Before Lady Snowblood Meiko Kaji gave us a really fun looking 6-part series called Stray Cat Rock for a great example. Machine guns, motorcycles, and LSD. They look awesome and check this aesthetic! I’m in love.

That knowledge does make me think of Nami and the early design with a missing arm. Jojo’s Stone Ocean as well while we’re at it. There’s also a fair number of Yakuza movies that fall sorta in between like the Red Peony Gambler (Hibotan Bakuto) series. It’s all a little nebulous if you want to get into the weeds. There’s a few different styles from a few different studios but make no mistake. These were popular movies in Japan. Big studios like Toei were churning them out as B movies to maintain relevance. Compete with television and Hollywood’s resources.  

Know what isn’t nebulous? Yeah...the hallmarks of the genre are big things we see out of Okiku’s role in Wano. The otherwise perfect lady with some little hook that means she isn’t “marriage material.” The whole arc of showing she can kick as much ass as any man but always reminding you of the lady playing the part. A big, big shared element is this core theme of taking down corrupt officials who abuse their power. Urashima the Yokozuna is exactly the type of guy who’d end up a villain in these. Sticking up for humble villagers, looking out for other women and children. Being the collateral damage of “great” men’s ambitions is what we tend to see over traditional fare like say, reinstalling a dynasty. I love the running theme of these being so much more local in scope. And Kiku gets that modern twist of her being trans for the “excuse.” I adore that in contrast to anime trends of needing to make an excuse for the deviance. My dead sister was the favorite, I went silly due to trauma, etc. This trope and trend of subversion is a big reason I love the mistaken bride idea. 

The more of these I see, and I’m friggin hooked these days, the more I see little bits and bobs that feel like they may have shaped our beautiful flower of Wano. And others! She’s a little more than a simple homage though. We do see the violence part pretty well for One Piece. Kiku gets the shit beaten out of her on Onigashima and it is gory by this manga’s standards. That’s where the modernization seems to be though. We tone down the sexuality for cute. Which isn’t that off base, the archetype in historical settings typically does have that innocent and sweet side. One Piece just isn’t the type of series you’re going to actually see things like making good on Tama’s intro of fleeing from being sold to the red light district. Even if it didn’t make it in the proper story, Kiku & Izo’s origin does flirt with that kind of content more than the series usually would. Hell, we do get Holdem torturing Tama and the series just fades to black on a similar spot for Tsuru. 

Wano made this genre feel familiar already. Snowblood loves it some anachronic storytelling, Red Peony sets up and ends films with a non-diagetic theatrical framing. Ohyaku uses a big simpleton to bust out of a prison camp. Speaking of, can I please get someone whipping a hair stick like a dart? That’s my favorite little signature from the Red Peony. Oryu in those is a fun protagonist played by Junko Fuji. That’s one of the more accessible series, less graphic than One Piece so far, and she plays with gender as a theme more. Proclaims to be a man but we always see deep down she’s still a lady that wishes she could have married the honest merchant’s son. Oh...and almost all of these ladies are total daddy’s girls like Kiku acts towards Kin. That whole series gets its own because there’s eight of them and they’re soooo good. 

Eiichiro Oda is a great writer and worldbuilder...but he’s actually pretty derivative. One Piece doesn’t break ground as much as refine the dominant genre when it started, even Rurouni Kenshin was more subversive for shonen. The more I see of these though, the more I see Oda just being this big kid who thought these old movies were so cool and couldn’t wait to rip into his samurai gang. Of course one of em if gonna be a little Junko Miyazono/Meiko Kaji being a fierce strong-willed lady of war. These movies are classic cool!

Round 2 of Who Is Queen Of Manipulation? will not be ready to go until at least another day passes, so to hold y'all over until then....

Manipulation Consolation time!

This is where those who lost their matches go against each other to determine who gets a consolation prize (like being part of the eventual Manipulation Queen's court), and who goes home empty-handed. This way, if you wanted to see your fave win, you may still have your chance!

Bookshelf Briefs 9/25/17

Arpeggio of Blue Steel, Vol. 11 | By Ark Performance | Seven Seas – One of the good things about this series is the way that not all of the ‘traitor’ mental models are changing sides due to love on Gunzou—in fact, almost none of them are. We’re gradually seeing that the mental models, as they gain more experience, are becoming more and more like humans. Which means they can screw up—I laughed out loud at Haruna’s “fake name.” But it also means they can bond with other humans, like Iona and her crew, or save other humans when it doesn’t gain them anything, like the two chibis who help Iori to not die in the engine room. As you can see, I may be very bad at names in this series, but that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy it every time. – Sean Gaffney

Barakamon, Vol. 14 | By Satsuki Yoshino | Yen Press – We’re back on the island for this volume, as Handa goes forward with his decision to start a calligraphy school rather than try to follow in his father’s footsteps. That said, trying to make a real living at a school on an island where no one wants to pay that much money is going to be tough. Meanwhile, Miwa’s family is also having issues with finances, as her father decides to close the liquor store as he’s losing to the larger chain. Miwa’s frustration and indecisiveness is quite realistically shown—she doesn’t just go “I’ll take over for you, Dad” but has to be led there slowly because her future hasn’t really occurred to her. And the best news of all, Kanzaki goes back to Tokyo, and will not hopefully irritate future volumes with his presence. – Sean Gaffney

Dreamin’ Sun, Vol. 3 | By Ichigo Takano | Seven Seas – After Zen infuriating me in the second volume, I’m pleased to state that he’s much more tolerable here, possibly as I’m now sure that he’s not going to be endgame. That said, I do now suspect that endgame is going to be her landlord, which… well, on the bright side, he’s not her teacher. Much of this volume follows a theme of ‘dramatic shoujo,’ with the desire to chase your dreams warring with the reality of needing to actually deal with life crises, which may mean abandoning those dreams. Zen works much better in this plot than he did getting really angry at Shimana because he had no idea how to deal with love. This isn’t my favorite series by this author (I prefer orange), but it’s nice and solid shoujo. – Sean Gaffney

Everyone’s Getting Married, Vol. 6 | By Izumi Miyazono | Viz Media – While I’d appreciate this even more if Kamiya weren’t a creep and stalker, I do like the fact that the author is well aware of it and not really playing it as oh-so-sexy. In fact, sometimes it manages to be funny. A large part of this book involves Asuka and Ryu, still not getting married, deciding to get an apartment together—and naturally guess who their neighbor is. I also really enjoyed Asuka’s family, as her mom explains the reasoning behind why she got married, and her brother manages to be protective but not a brat. More to the point, I just really love Asuka and Ryu as a couple, married or not. The cliffhanger implies fresh disasters, but that’s OK. This series has really leveled up. – Sean Gaffney

Honey So Sweet, Vol. 8 | By Amu Meguro | VIZ Media – It feels like so many shoujo series have ended recently, and here’s one more. It doesn’t quite take the pair-the-spares approach, as one guy in the group remains single, but I do admit the sudden love interest for Sou is out of left field. However, seeing Yashiro and Misaki finally get together was freakin’ adorable, as is Onise’s crying when he realizes how much Sou loves Nao, followed by Sou actually laughing at Onise’s blinding honestly. A brief glimpse at the future six years hence is followed by the original short story that was the basis for the series. It’s cute, it’s frothy, and I’m totally okay with that. – Michelle Smith

Kiss Him, Not Me!, Vol. 12 | By Junko | Kodansha Comics – On the bright side, the couple I wanted to get together actually got together, and the author’s notes implied this was something she actually planned in advance (never a guarantee with this series). On the other hand, I’m always wary in a reverse harem (or indeed a regular harem) when the couple gets together and the series is still ongoing. Is this really going to last? It also doesn’t help that we get a lot of backstory of how they got to know each other in a flashback after the fact. Still, it’s sweet enough, The comedy comes from them behaving like a newlywed couple in class, much to the frustration of nearly everyone. As for the drama, god help us, we have another pissed off third party breaking things up. Variable even when it’s good. – Sean Gaffney

Nisekoi: False Love, Vol. 23 | By Naoshi Komi | Viz Media – Well, it’s finally become clear what the endgame is, as Raku realizes what his feelings really are. That said, we’ve got two more volumes after this, and he isn’t sure if his love for Chitoge is greater than his love for Onodera, even if the audience is. And so all the heroines who are still in Japan get one last lap around the track so show off why they would also be an awesome choice for any guy reading this series. What interested me most was 1) Fu-chan, Haru’s friend, who is as close to a girl in love with her female best friend as you can get in a Jump series, and 2) the ongoing beta pairing, which seems to get closer and closer to reality the more violent Ruri gets. (She’s not a lead girl, so isn’t attacked for violence, I guess.) Good but dragging on. – Sean Gaffney

Of the Red, the Light, and the Ayakashi, Vol. 8 | By nanao and HaccaWorks* | Yen Press – I’ve grown increasingly frustrated with the euphemisms “eating” and “taking a meal” in this series, so it’s nice to see that it’s made more explicit here—no, they don’t say “kill,” but you literally see the endgame happening on a pile of corpses that are the previous “meals.” We also see Tougo getting guilt-tripped into accepting his own sacrifice, showing him flashbacks that give us a lot more context regarding Akane’s disappearance. Combine that with the role his younger sister played now being complete, and what can he do except be eaten? That said, we have two more volumes to go after this, so I’m fairly confident that this isn’t the endgame. How do we avoid the meal, though? – Sean Gaffney

Sweetness & Lightning, Vol. 8 | By Gido Amagakure | Kodansha Comics – Tsumugi has started elementary school, which means tasty school lunches that she and her father replicate at home and a field day for which Tsumugi powers up by eating tonkatsu (lucky!) the night before and during which she runs with such determination that it actually made me cry. Meanwhile, Kotori has managed to convince her parents that she’s serious about taking over the restaurant. It looks like the series might be doing something new going forward—now that Inuzuka has enough skill to tackle new things on his own, he might be doing that while Kotori trains with her mother. That’d be interesting, too! Also, I am seriously considering attempting to make my own tonkatsu! – Michelle Smith

Lingering Snowblood: The Saga of Oyuki

Alright class, who’s ready for a fun bonus post? Waaay back in the start of this journey, we talked a little about Okiku potentially being inspired by a figure it the story that is likely an inspiration for Kin & Momo. Lone Wolf & Cub, it’s one of the most famous series of classic samurai movies. What Hawk & Chick are based on for any Bob’s Burgers fans and the TV adaptation had the actor Oda’s said their names come from in the lead role. 

In that franchise, there’s a woman named Oyuki who pops up a few times. Dancer background, unassuming lady who’s absolutely deadly when pressed, tattoo used a lot like the mask, and has a calling card of taking topknots from her fallen foes. Sounds a lot like Kiku, yeah? And if you didn’t know, “yuki” means snow so we do have that shared motif. Feels like in both cases, and the ones we’ll get to, the archetype is leaning a bit on the mythological Yuki-Onna. I was wrong though, that was just the tip of the iceberg. 

So...this character transcends franchises. Wano has made me really interested in jidaigeki, I’ve actually grown quite fond of them and have a buddy who’s into old Westerns so we love talking how they play off of each other. As an aside, any RPG game masters out there...go binge an old Western TV show like Tales of Wells Fargo and you will find a gold mine of session ideas! Turns out Oyuki has a pretty cool history, and yeah it includes Kill Bill. 

The funny thing is...if we’re talking Eiichiro Oda’s influences, it actually calls into question what was really pushing him to dust off Snowblood. See, she is a figure in jidaigeki, but a little before his time. That’s not a huge deal, Smokey and the Bandit came out over a decade before I was born and I still thought it was a cool Sunday afternoon movie that’s stuck with me from that single viewing fifteen years ago. Kill Bill was directly inspired by Lady Snowblood, coming straight from Quentin Tarantino himself. Oda loves Hollywood and American movies, so which one really piqued his interest for Okiku?

Because y’all...the deeper we go the more obvious this was part of the inspo for Okiku. Wano’s just a big kid giddy to show his young readers all the shit he thought was cool growing up.

Yeah, I bet you know this woman’s entire deal looking at this. Proper lady right up until that short sword comes out of the parasol...though she’ll probably whoop a wave of mooks with the umbrella alone. At the end it’s her standing in the middle of a dozen dead bodies without a drop of blood on that pretty kimono. The dancer or acrobat background is really common, vengeful motivation driving her as well as lowborn origins. Gotta have some reason she’s not content to start a family and all, right?

So this 1973 movie based on a 1972 manga’s it right? Lone Wolf was a little later and Oyuki there was mostly just a one-shot appearance that they reused for a movie. Well...see, we can go deeper. 

Finding stuff like this is what makes digging so worth it. See, if we’re talking beloved Okiku...the Kill Bill/Lady Snowblood inspo is missing the mark on one big thing. Kiku’s not cold-blooded or vengeful. Let’s go back to the late 60s though, the same era that gave us a pretty feminist wave of Japanese media like Attack no.1. This was a TV drama that ran for a season, Red Swallow Oyuki. Starring the lovely Junko Miyazono who’d go on to have a nice run of movies playing the same type of kickass lady. One of those by the way was Hannya no Ohyaku. Fun bonus tie. This aired in 1968, so likely influencing Lady Snowblood, and you can find the first two episodes on Toei’s official Youtube page. With subs! It’s awesome, imagine Samurai Champloo if Fuu was the badass in charge...so Bakura Town.

Where I really think this initial iteration of Oyuki shines through in Kiku is the personality. This version, she’s really cutely naive. Raised in isolation and trained to pass on her father’s sword style, but he balked at the end. Sent Oyuki away to “become an ordinary woman.” Only use the sword to protect yourself. But of course, when push comes to shove she’ll use it to protect the innocent. Yes, it does end up feeling a lot like Himura Kenshin which is it’s own obvious part of Kiku’s DNA. 

I also love this idea of Oyuki sorta taking on a life of her own. It’s very Kabuki, it was a cool character concept so why not lift and repurpose. Not quite the same, but reminds me of the thing about the name Kikunojo. How it has a history as a stage name for many famous Onnagata. But seriously...watch one episode of Red Swallow and tell me that isn’t what a story with Kiku in the lead role would feel like.

WHO IS QUEEN OF MANIPULATION?
