I loved this little musical number so much I had to go Okikufy it. Of course it suits her well when you're a love letter to the genre. But deep down I just love everything about this modern twist. I only really got the archetype sight unseen because 90s anime would often sorta play her out. The last of those classic, traditional ladies always making it about how weird and out of place she is. Because it was the era where a character like Yamato would be so standout and popular. Now that feels old hat and Oda gets to make something classic feel fresh.
It only works today because she's trans, otherwise it'd feel like the story's going for a point it isn't. Different story beats hit different at different points in time. You never really show Kiku as weak except for one big, excusable moment but her story just feels...sad rather than triumphant. It's the only way you can earnestly get that "she has to do this even if it goes against her nature" without it coming off like "women can't cut it." And I think that's really neat. If authors find other ways to bottle this type of story showing women displaying a different kind of strength, I think there's an audience for it in an era where the action girl tomboy is starting to feel played out.

Okay, finished Wild Jumbo, and can I just say... what the fuck.
What the absolute fuck did I just spend and hour and 45 of my life on, like... serious question, what the hell.
That was objectively terrible and pointless and felt weirdly moralizing?? For a gangster film?? Heavy on the "crime doesn't pay," "wages of sin is death" shit, and I hate that in gangster media. That was (one of the many things) that was wrong with The Godfather part 3. I don't need Michael's conscience chickens coming home to roost for 2 hours, and I don't need literally every character in this movie getting shot up by police with no survivors for 10 wholeass minutes at the end.
It was not even done in a Butch Cassidy way, it was literally just Oprah "YOU get a bullet! And YOU get a bullet! And YOU get a bullet!"
I felt bad raising the specter of Switchblade Sisters when I was talking about Sex Hunter because of how wildly better Sex Hunter was than Switchblade Sisters, but the end of Wild Jumbo is exactly the same kind of disappointing pointless fuckery. Good God. I'm glad this director only got mitts on 2 of the 5, and at this point I'm straight up dreading Beat 71.

I finally made time for Stray Cat Rock and holy shit am I glad I did. We've mentioned it a little bit, it's a modern-day (70s) gangster movie series starring Meiko Kaji who you may remember as the iconic Lady Snowblood. She's the one in white, will stick around for the series but this first installment Delinquent Girl Boss also features Akiko Wada as the badass biker chick throwing off some major queer vibes who gets to deliver a killer soulful alto ballad on the whole big "a woman is still a woman" theme. Yeah, Stray Cat Rock isn't there for show, this was about one step below a bona fide musical. Here, have a listen, a minute and a half of the distilled ethos of these movies injected straight into our flower of Wano:
Does it need a plot? It's friggin 70s girl gangs banging, doing drugs, rocking out, and getting into trouble. AKA everything rad. There is a plot about an insidious group of men rigging a boxing match but once again who cares? It's 70s exploitation movie levels of cartoon violence oozing classic cool out of every pore. The soundtrack is absolutely to die for and you get some funky effects on top of wild scenes of mayhem. Like always, these are a very hard R with graphic violence and sexual assault though this one glossed over the worst. It's going for big stupid fun and on that it 100% delivers. I'm definitely watching the rest of these.
