IMO:
just dig kitano, hehehe... weird plot about gay samurais though since samurais are always portrayed as very man type and frequent those geisha joints with their dual katanas... if 2 gays only never mind, but his power of attraction is so great that other samurais from their unit become inclined towards him... siao kia one they all... lol, see the ending you will think that everyone is gay liao
