message: When will someone make a good article about the manga? If you go to the japanese wikipedia I think there's a good article about it. Anybody wants to translate?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.1.118.102 (talk) 22:30, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

message: The "Trivia" part of the article is a direct copy from IMBD (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0296042/trivia). I think it shoud be removed due to copyright issues.
The synopsis of the film ends without an explanation of what happens. It is incomplete, just cut off mid-sentence.

replies: text: I'm not really in a position to but I suspect the manga should go here and the film part goes to Ichi the Killer (film) - see what was done with Battle Royale and Uzumaki as an example. (Emperor 04:01, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm fairly certain the last bit of the plot description is completely wrong.  It looked to me like the person following the kids was the kid from the movie.  And the guy hanging in the tree was that Jijii fellow. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.2.254.93 (talk) 09:14, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: The ending has been completely wrong for such a long time, I thought it was time to fix it. When Jijii is examining Kakihara's body and notices the lack of a scar that Ichi would leave, there's a quick cut in the movie to show that Ichi is still lying on the ground being kicked by Takeshi. This is why Jijii is shocked. Earlier on in the movie, Takeshi is shown trying to domesticate a crow. At the very end, before the boy turns around, a crow flies past him. Yeah, that's not Ichi. It's absurd that someone has interpreted it as being Ichi and no-one has fixed it. That's Takeshi, not Ichi. Watch the movie again. Takeshi, now older, took revenge on Jijii, after probably kicking Ichi to death at the roof. Probably, as it is not inconclusive. And hanging? That's not Ichi's modus operandi.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.114.47.187 (talk) 21:46, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

text: Ending is fixed.  Watch the move again, and you will see that this is the true ending.74.243.4.185 (talk) 22:49, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: Yes, it is certain that Takeshi has mind control abilities.  At the end of the movie, Takeshi forced both Kakihara and Jijii to believe that Ichi was still alive.  Both Kakihara and Jijii thought that Ichi attacked Kakihara with a bladed boot, causing Kakihara to fall off of the roof.  However, when Jijii looks at Kakihara's forehead, there is no injury.  Jijii knows that Takeshi has mind control abilities, but didn't realize how good Takeshi was.  Jijii had no idea, that he was being controlled until he saw that there was no injury on Kakihara's forehead.  That's why he looked back up at the roof; he understood what was done to him, and was seriously afraid.  Remember earlier, Jijii told Ichi that Kaneko (Takeshi's father) was Ichi's brother, in an attempt to keep Kaneko safe.  Jijii knew that if Kaneko was killed by Ichi, Takeshi's powers would become apparent due to overwhelming emotions of anger and grief.  Jijii wasn't fearfull for himself.  Jijii simply wanted to keep Ichi alive, and feared that Takeshi would kill Ichi.74.243.4.221 (talk) 02:05, 21 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Where else is this psychic thing hinted at or referenced in the rest of the movie? There seems to be more rational explanations for the climax?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.246.150.118 (talk) 19:28, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, but 74.243...’s change (this edit) seems wrong to me. Indeed, Ichi is psychologically manipulated by Jijii, but I couldn’t find any evidence that Takeshi has psychic abilities. 122.26.212.59 (talk) 12:01, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

message: I just wanted to let everyone know that it never shows the actual mouth-widening in the movie, it shows him WITH his mouth widened, but never the actual act of him having it widened, if thats easy to understand.

replies: text: That's incorrect. There are various cuts to the film, but the most popular, the Unrated cut, shows Kakihara's mouth drop open while sitting in a bathtub (after his death, in a flashback).Frosty976 (talk) 17:48, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

message: The plot summary states: "...Jijii attempts to get better control over Ichi by having Karen seduce him, but the plan backfires and Karen is slaughtered." But it wasn't clear to me that was his intention. It seemed to me that Jijii wanted Ichi to kill Karen. 209.202.115.142 (talk) 16:37, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
