All this love for Kabuki is making me so happy to see. This dude has been a total blind spot of mine for years and suddenly I'm seeing all this new depth to his character. This is the kind of thing that makes these threads magic.

Similarly, I'm also going to hold onto that idea that all the weird things about the past story are due to it being Asumu's personal interpretation of the events. Would explain things like why Kabuki uses English in his dialogue almost immediately after showing up.

...which, after a cursory glance at the film's Wikipedia page, it seems was a deliberate decision specifically to tell people not to worry too much about things like "authenticity". That was something watching the film that jumped out at me immediately in a good way, so mission accomplished there!
