 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Jirocho Fuji is a 1959 film from Japan directed by Kazuo Mori.It is a story about the early career of Real Life (but semi-legendary) 19th century yakuza boss Shimizu Jirocho. The story opens with Jirocho confronting a rival yakuza boss, Yasugoro, as Yasugoro is having lunch with the big boss, Korugama. It seems that Yasugoro is giving shelter to a ronin, Kodai Kogoro, who killed one of Jirocho's men. Jirocho demands satisfaction.Yasugoro tries to blow Jirocho off, but Korugama allows Jirocho the privilege of having a duel with Kodai for satisfaction. The duel ends with Jirocho killing Kodai, but spilling blood on Yasugoro's household holy shrine in the process. Yasugoro and Korugama basically use this as an excuse to declare Jirocho an outlaw and take over his territory. Who will win? (The famous guy with his name in the title, that's who.)Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Machiko Kyo appears briefly as Okatsu, a hostess.

 Decapitation Presentation: Subverted. Jirocho's men have killed Yasugoro and taken his head as a trophy, but one of Jirocho's lieutenants tells them that they're in trouble for fighting without permission and burning down a civilian's barn. The head remains in a bag, unpresented.

 Conscience Makes You Go Back: An amusing example with the geisha who twice defeats Ishi in a Drinking Contest and steals his wallet when he's passed out. The second time she's leaving when she hears that the big battle between rival gangs is underway. She hesitates, then goes back, wakes Ishi up, and gets him dressed so that he can go save the day (he's dumb, but he's Jirocho's best fighter). She keeps the wallet.

 Conversation Cut: Tokujiro starts telling Jirocho's men how a rival yakuza, Nikichi, has muscled in on the local gambling operation with Korugama's support. The scene then cuts between sentences to a flashback where Tokujiro is learning this story from one of his own men.
