Kilmer storms into Tanner's apartment and kills him, then joins Ken for a near-suicidal attack on Tono's residence. During a prolonged battle, after Ken kills Tono in the traditional way with a "katana," Goro's son attacks them and Ken kills him in self-defense. Bearing the news to his brother, Ken moves to commit "Seppuku," but his brother pleads with him not to bring more anguish to their family. Instead, Ken performs "yubitsume" (the ceremonial yakuza apology by cutting off one's little finger). After Ken excuses himself, Goro compliments Kilmer on his adherence to Japanese traditions, and dedication to his family.
