Kurosawa often directed actors to adopt a certain body language appropriate to the character, and to almost make it exaggerated in a way, you can see that in how Mifune's character Kikuchio moves, his movements are always big, he has a certain swagger to his walk, every little movement tells you about the character. It's the same with Kyuzo, but it's almost the exact opposite of Kikuchio, his movements are decisive and swift, from the way he talks to the way he walks, the way he runs, there's no exaggeration, it's pure efficiency. His almost expressioneless face tells you he has nothing to hide, he doesn't need to pretend, he knows exactly what he is and what he's capable of. These two characters were always the most memorable to me because of how they embody almost completely opposite traits.

Let us not forget the Seven Samurai's impact on Pixar's "A Bug's Life". Think about it: The peasants (ants) are terrorized each year at harvest time by bandits (locusts). They send someone (Flik) to the nearest village, who recruits samurai ("Warrior Bugs" - LOL), to follow him back to his village to help fight off the bandits (locusts). When the samurai ("Warrior Bugs") arrive, everybody in the village initially hides from them. Eventually, the village and the samurai ("Warrior Bugs") prepare to defend their village. When the bandits (locusts) return, they all fight together, to drive them off once and for all. (OK, Pixar wasn't about to have the ants slaughter all the locusts; it's a kid's movie already).

You will see upon replaying the first and final duel that both fighters start and finish at the same positions, with one notable exception. The brash samurai is equally brash in his fighting style, his overly aggressive charge is easily sidestepped by Kyuzo, a master martial artist through and through whom adopts the principle of expending the least amount of energy possible to achieve the desired result. This even extends to him even forgoing the energy to utilize that side step (or give away the technique, depending on your view), as in his mind, the potential for him to have won was inevitable. In fact, it was so matter-of-fact, Kyuzo says just as much to his opponent who is an amateur and blind to these facts. In fact he takes Kyuzo’s frankness as an insult, leading to the declaration of using real swords. Kambei, being an experienced warrior himself, of course understands all of this even from a distance and is flabber-ghasted at how this is even happening considering how uneven the skill levels are. Having been pushed into this duel, despite him calling out to his opponent to see reason, Kyuzo ends up demonstrating why his opponent would’ve died in their first duel in the only he could that would convince his opponent…

@@Jkim890 I get what you're saying, but there's still an issue there that's always bothered me. Kyuzo was clearly the far better swordsman, so you can argue that he didn't bother to take that extra side-step or that he chose not to take it in order to not give the technique away, and that he did so because he knew how subsequent duels would go, but that still means he lost the match. He could (rightly) argue that he would win subsequent matches based on his experience, or that he would have won the first match if he'd been taking it seriously/using real swords, but the reality was that he didn't (the opponent's wooden sword hit first or roughly the same time). So by declaring that it was his victory in the first match, instead of a draw (or his loss), he was basically baiting his simple-minded opponent (who didn't realize the difference in their skill) into fighting him for real, because he only knew what he saw (that he didn't actually win the first match).

Imagine a child walks up to an adult master and asks for a sparring match. The master goes easy on them (obviously), and the child thinks they did relatively well. Is it proper then to rub it in the child's face that if they were fighting for real the adult would have won easily? If he does, and the child insists that they fight for real, to the point where he attacks the adult master, and the adult master hurts him (because again, he's a child), who is more in the wrong? The child is stupid and ignorant for sure, but the master should have known better and not allowed themselves to be drawn to that level.

Is Kyuzo actually not that good? Whats going on it's making me uncomfortable... and then the lightning fast resolution. No dramatic fight scene, the guy talks and walks, then he shouts and he's no more now. Like actual sharp edge, unarmored melee combat was. Now it's one of my favorite scenes, very important for me emotionally. I would never have that if I wouldnt rewatch, rethink it.

The most moving part for me was when at almost the end, the last bandit is killed and Kambei remarks to his friend Shirchiroji, "Again - we’ve survived." It references an earlier conversation recounting how they were on the losing side in the last battle they were in and barely survived. Amongst all the carnage, these two old soldiers once again have cheated death and they know it.

Interesting. In slo-mo, at first glance, it looks like the "foolish" samurai struck first. But if you go frame-by-frame, it appears as though the older samurai fully struck literally a fraction of a fraction of a second faster which would mean he would've wounded or killed the younger samurai before the older samurai was struck with any meaningful blow. Akira Kurosawa was a cinematic genius.

This has been brutally edited down. The original sequence shows a slow build up to the inevitable: this man, Kyozo, is a badass and Kambei needs him on board!

yep i didn't believe at first The Magnificent Seven copied this Masterpiece thats why it became succesful.

Kyuzo remains vigilant and keeps his eyes on his opponent, even at the moment when he sees him fall.

I think they actually coaxed that samurai unnecessarily to his death. The match with the bamboo sticks looked really close, at least he should've given him a rematch with the bamboo sticks instead of provoking him to fight with real swords to his death. Looking back at this scene it doesn't give off a vibe of moral superiority from the quiet sword saint character.

Lần đầu xem!Tôi nghĩ bất kỳ tài năng nào cũng cần luyện tập!

The ragged samurai believes that because they drew with wood that they would draw with steel. He didn’t anticipate that Kyuzo would just, y’know, sidestep his strike had they been using steel.
