[@johnodonnell6334]

The most striking aspect of this scene is Hattori's friend, who in the previous scene played the part of the bumbling even insubordinate assistant. But in this scene his face and posture is that of a life long friend who understands exactly what the forging of this sword means. No argument no back chat, instead he plays his part in the ceremony flawlessly. The contrast between this scene and the sake scene is so striking it is heartrending.

[@kevindavis5966]

I always assumed he was an apprentice, learning at the feet of the master, hoping to take over the trade when his master passes.

[@PromotedPawn]

@@kevindavis5966 That is the role he fills, but also consider that his master took an oath to never practice again, and kept it for 28 years. His loyalty is so strong that he still followed him into being the second of a terrible sushi shop for decades. He doesn’t necessarily want to take over a sword crafting business, he just wants to follow Hattori Hanzo no matter what craft he decides to practice.

[@felipepineda1585]

Well there is a time to joke, and a time to be serious.

[@TJInfinat]

For some reason I got it in my head that, since he broke his oath and made a sword, that he now has to commit seppuku. His assistant would assist him in that act, too. And once the Bride leaves, they'll Hattori Hanzo is no more. At least, that's what I thought when I first watched this movie.

[@Elthenar]

I've thought that his assistant was wise cracking and so insubordinate for a reason. He always messes with Hanzo to keep things light, knowing what internal burdens the man has.

[@trizzo343]

The assistant's acting in this scene is what hits me the most combined with Hattori's speech. His face is so sad and serious looking.

[@deathstrike]

This is such a sad scene. I cannot imagine how (in this film) the finest sword maker of his generation Hattori Hanzo must have felt creating such beautiful and deadly works of art which have only one purpose. To kill and kill swiftly. He deserved so much more respect and the pain even in the film was genuine.

[@Jose-se9pu]

Yup, but he realiced all the people Bill killed were also his responsability because he trained him...

Since he broke his oath, did he later commit seppuku? That would explain the look on his assistant's face. He knew he would have to act as the "second" in the ceremony.

[@norbiesison9257]

Seriously? Is that how many folds it takes to forge a katana of superior strength?

[@M0M0117]

@@norbiesison9257 I’m not sure the exact amount of folds they have to do, but they have to do certainly a lot. They do it because Japanese ore has a lot of impurities in it, it’s not the best metal to make blades out of. So Japanese sword smiths perfected the technique of folding the metal several times to strengthen the blade. You can google it to get more info if you are interested. Edit: apparently a blade is folded anywhere from 8 to 16 times. It’s like folding a piece of paper, every time you fold it you have more layers, a katana that has been folded 10 times has apparently over a 1000 layers.

[@CorwynGC]

@@M0M0117 1000 is what is often claimed. But remember that that is the number of layers, not the number of times it is folded (or a month would be a ridiculously short time). Fold one time, gives 2 layers, twice gives 4 layers, 10 times gives 1,000 layers.

[@toddkes5890]

You also have to figure that folding enough layers turns the metal into a homogenous block, rather than the separate layers that hold an edge or dissipate stress as appropriate. The other detail is that the folding would work to make the lousy iron available in Japan better. From there you make different types of steel (hard for holding an edge, soft to handle impacts), and put them all together properly. Step 2 requires a few decades of work and study.

Ein berauschender Film

[@bluesuncompanyman]

This scene is by far the most beautiful of both films. I always enjoyed the juxtaposition of introducing the assistant to us as a lazy soap opera watching bum but then suddenly this scene emerges and he is now obedient, deeply respectful, and somewhat sad. Over the years I've hoped that Quentin might give us 2 final films that tell the final stories of how Nikki takes vengeance on The Bride for killing her mother (new film 1) and how The Bride's grown daughter B.B. in turn seeks vengeance on Nikki (new film 2). But instead of killing Nikki in the final film she shows her mercy. That film would then end with a recreation of this beautiful scene that we now watch - wherein B.B. travels to Okinawa to return her mother's sword to a much-aged Honzo who tells her the same thing she told her mother - that "vengeance is a forest. And like a forest it is possible to become lost." But Honzo ends his soliloquy by telling her that in showing mercy, B.B. emerged from the forest that consumed her mother. The sword is then ceremoniously sheathed by Honzo's assistant. End with the same music and fade to final credits.
