Butterfly’s Poison; Blood Chains (Chou no Doku) Part 5 - Kyoko Route

I didn't expect Lady Kyoko to have a route so I'm confused as to whether it's a romantic route or some sort of route about the truth that answers questions that we might have regarding Yuriko's parents? It seems like Yuriko's mother and her brother were in love and she reluctantly married Yuriko's father? And Yuriko's father is obsessed with her and probably knew about her love for her brother and that's why Mizuhito recalled that scene where their father burnt a kimono that was sent from Yuriko's mother's brother and she was terrified? Could Majima be Yuriko's real half brother? Lol. He really is! I found their kiss so sad though. Yuriko already liked him so having to find out that he's her brother and the one who killed her parents was sad. I understand his need for revenge against Yuriko's father because he most likely tried to kill him and probably killed the parents who raised him, but what did Shigeko do? I didn't expect Yuriko to become a detective and solve cases for people who can't go to the police haha, definitely an interesting and unexpected job! On to the Kyoko ending!

Even though it's an illicit relationship and one that shouldn't have happened, the fact that Shigeko loved her older brother and he reciprocated was bittersweet to see. Shigeko was sad that they were siblings because it meant they couldn't be together, and her brother was thankful for it because it would mean they would "always be together" as family. The existence of Majima was proof of their love but also of their sin. It was sad that Shigeko knew she would never get to see her child again after giving birth. Even though it didn't work out, I'm proud of Yuriko for having the courage to tell Majima she likes him! Omg the attempted sexual assault was terrible to read, definitely Saburo. I felt bad for Yuriko. She was already distressed after having to face memories of her disastrous birthday party and having to remember that her gentle and kind father will never be there for her anymore and then this happens. Glad Majima came and was able to help her. Majima blaming himself and hugging her made me want to cry😭 I don't even want to do Kyoko's route now because I'm so smitten with Majima haha!

Okay, I'm so glad we weren't subjected to descriptions of how she was raped because I'm already heartbroken for her that she had to experience that even if she fainted so she didn't have to consciously live through it but I still feel so violated for her. When they went into Kyoko's room, my first reaction was most definitely wtf LOL, what are all those dolls literally placed everywhere in her room? There's so many... Wow, Kyoko in a Western evening dress is so beautiful! Like dang. That dance CG? Kyoko was so hot and Yuriko looked so cute. Well, we knew Kyoko slept around but to think she does it anywhere and everywhere, and she likes to leave the door slightly ajar as well! Not that it matters even if she gets caught because I doubt anyone has the power to really go against her and her wealth. I think it's quite interesting to see Yuriko become a peeping tom and watch Kyoko all those times and then basically become enthralled with Kyoko enough to want to do it with her and hate all men. I like the attitude of wanting to be above men since she and Kyoko had to suffer something like that, and it's understandable because it's when these things happen, you start to think about how physically weak women can be and how hateful you feel for that, so I can see why they would be like that.

I love the options for when you guess wrong about who the culprit for murdering her parents is and who the secret child is. Shiba's was so funny because he basically just kept talking to himself without Yuriko getting to say anything and she just gives up🤣 Mizuhito admitting that he's been stealing Shigeko's kimono to sell to fund his drinking expenses was silly. But LMAO at the Fujita one, even Yuriko thinks she's an idiot for thinking he's the secret child when he's obviously got foreigner blood in him😂😂 Hideo's one is so silly too because she goes all the way to his house and then just gets driven back home😂😂 Did Majima and Yuriko actually have the chance to play with each other when they were young?

Overall, I don't think there's much to say about Kyoko's route because it's pretty short. As other people have said, it's more of an informational route telling us who Majima is and why he hates the family. I guess the biggest revelation other than Majima actually being Yuriko's brother is that her father seemed to be much more obsessive and cruel than we and even Mizuhito thought. It's sad that Yuriko's memories of him will be tarnished after she finds out in Majima's route. As for the Kyoko ending, it was pretty uncomfortable because of the sexual assualt even if it wasn't described because it felt terrible to think about how helpless Yuriko was. It was fun to see her kind of get back up with the help of Kyoko but she kinda just turned into another Kyoko so not much to say about that lol. Definitely underwhelming and can hardly be called a "route" considering how short it was, but I'll admit that Kyoko was hot haha, you can definitely see why so many men and women would seek her out and be willingly played by her, she's got the looks, the charisma and she's very seductive. She definitely isn't a great person and she's obvious about it but I guess that's also something good, she doesn't hide how unapologetically terrible of a person she can be, so I did wish her route was longer so we could see more of how crazy she was, I feel like it ended right when the story should have started haha, oh well.

Decades of Horror 1970s Episode 172 – Lady Snowblood (1973)

Synopsis: A young woman is trained from birth to be a deadly instrument of revenge against the swindlers who destroyed her family

Director: Toshiya Fujita

Writers: Norio Osada (screenplay); Kazuo Kamimura (manga illustrator) & Kazuo Koike (manga writer)

Cinematographer: Masaki Tamura

Selected cast:

Meiko Kaji as Yuki Kashima (“Lady Snowblood”)

Mayumi Maemura as young Yuki

Kō Nishimura as Dōkai the priest

Toshio Kurosawa as Ryūrei Ashio

Masaaki Daimon as Gō Kashima

Miyoko Akaza as Sayo Kashima

Eiji Okada as Gishirō Tsukamoto

Sanae Nakahara as Okono Kitahama

Noboru Nakaya as Banzō Takemura

Takeo Chii as Shokei Tokuichi

Yoshiko Nakada as Kobue Takemura

Rinichi Yamamoto as Maruyama

Lady Snowblood, the horror-adjacent inspiration for Tarantino’s Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003) & Kill Bill: Vol. 2 (2004), is Jeff’s pick and he loves this movie, describing it as a visual feast with a non-traditional story structure incorporating Japanese culture and history. It is so much fun!

Seeing Lady Snowblood for the first time with excellent visual quality, Bill is completely absorbed in the film. He was already familiar with the lead actress, Meiko Kaji, from Female Prisoner Scorpion: Jailhouse 41 (1972), which he also loved, and he loves her performance. It’s the kind of performance the viewer can read a lot into. He describes the character and Kaji’s performance as a female version of Clint Eastwood’s “man with no name.”

This is Doc’s first time watching Lady Snowblood and he falls in love with the movie. The simple story with an interesting structure, amazing sound effects, plenty of gore for the gorehounds out there, and the great screen presence of the lead actress all contribute to him cherishing every moment of Lady Snowblood.

You’ve probably guessed by now that the Decades of Horror 70s Grue Crew heartily recommend Lady Snowblood. At the time of this writing, it is available to stream from HBOmax, the Criterion Channel, and various PPV sources. In terms of physical media, it is available in The Complete Lady Snowblood (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray], which also includes Lady Snowblood 2: Love Song of Vengeance (1974). And if you are as infatuated with the acting of Meiko Kaji, you might want to check out her Female Prisoner series  – Female Prisoner #701: Scorpion (1972), Female Prisoner Scorpion: Jailhouse 41 (1972), Female Prisoner Scorpion: Beast Stable (1973), and Female Prisoner Scorpion: #701’s Grudge Song (1973) – all of which are currently available to stream from Shudder.

Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror 1970s is part of the Decades of Horror two-week rotation with The Classic Era and the 1980s. In two weeks, the next episode in their very flexible schedule, chosen by Bill, will be The Golden Voyage of Sinbad (1973. Ray Harryhausen, Caroline Munro, John Phillip Law, Takis Emmanuel, Tom Baker, Robert Shaw, and the usual assortment of stop-motion animation creatures? Oh yeah!

[oh-my-asian-boy]

Tom Fujita (藤田富) 💘

[frentique]

[iristial]

Sometimes I wish Tom Fujita got to be in mainstream Rider; that way I can see more of this handsome guy, with the added bonus of his character being in a setting without man-eaters, situations going from this is extremely screwed up but there might be hope to never mind it got worse, murky underwater colour filters or people dying every five minutes. And he's rather good at portraying an unhinged Haruka so if his character gets a berserker upgrade then I'll be more than satisfied in that regard
