Oh, I forgot there's a bit at the end where Ichi bumps into a slightly older Takeshi who just knifed a dude, then Ichi goes on his way and accidentally kicks a can in the face of another Yakuza boss. He's crying as he's about to get hit, making it seem he may still have his killing streak in him. So in a way it does carry on for all involved, but the end as I remembered it also made it seem things would eventually just quiet down and carry on fairly banal in manner.<br/><br/>Honestly Kakihara as a character had it coming, I still wince thinking when he brings out a flyer to a torture victim showing all different ways cocks have been<em>split</em>and pierced and makes the poor guy choose what one Kakihara will inflict on him...  :-X
