Following my recent romp through ninja-themed memory lane, I give you this iconic scene from Enter the Ninja, the 1981 Golan/Globus action film that is often credited with starting the “Ninja Movie” craze of the 1980s.
The essence of the meaning of the ku-ji can be roughly translated as,
Taoist: “May all those who preside over warriors be my vanguard.”
Japanese: “Come warriors, fight as one, ready in formation, line up and take position in front. Destroy/victory!”
Rin (臨), Pyō (兵), Tō (闘), Sha (者), Kai (皆), Jin (陣), Retsu (列), Zai (在), Zen (前)
