1 ichi origin be from the japanese comic . a great prequel to the story of ichi the killer . it be a stand alone so even if you have not see ichi the killer and you would not have a problem understand this one . the fight scene be great with lot of violence and blood . a short summary of the movie represent it be about a japanese high school student want the title of be the best fighter . ichi be the best fighter because he can fight with quick speed . a great plus be that the actor who play ichi be the same actor of the movie ichi the killer . this movie be not quite a violence and graphic a ichi the killer but the story and the fight scene be great .
