Cool Shades: Nishi wears them all the time. They also help clarify the Anachronic Order, as he doesn't wear them in the flashback scenes before the shootout.

Bank Robbery: Nishi pulls it off on his own, without firing a shot nor saying a word. In full police uniform, no less.

Anachronic Order: Flashbacks are intercut with the "present" narrative throughout, and the flashbacks themselves are in Anachronic Order. For example, the bloody shootout that gets Tanaka killed is shown in a flashback, and then a later flashback shows the moments leading up to that shootout.

As You Know: Opens with one of Horibe's friends asking him questions that he already knows about how Horibe and Nishi were childhood friends and Nishi's wife is sick. One of the two yakuza trying to intimidate Nishi into paying up says "You know what we yakuza are like."
