Sin embargo es una cuestión solo apreciable desde el punto de vista de aquel que lee la sinopsis. En lo que respecta a la película, cada una de ellas se ve respaldada por elementos secundarios que la diferencian completamente de las otras.
Precisamente es el hecho de repetición argumental centrada en la persecución de Hyoma buscando venganza, lo que hace que se debilite ese deseo.
