Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Kuro-Obi (Black Belt) is a 2007 martial arts film directed by Shunichi Nagasaki. The film is notable for starring two real-life masters of Karate: Tatsuya Naka, a 6th-dan in Shotokan style, and Akihito Yagi, a 5th-dan in Goju-Ryu style. No special effects or wires were used for the action scenes, only authentic karate awesomeness.The story takes place in a fictional version of occupied Manchuria in 1932, where everyone speaks Japanese and karate dojos dot the landscape. The Japanese military police decides to take over one such dojo to use a training camp, and the karate students Taikan, Giryu, and Choei are forced to fight for the right to keep their school. The plot follows the three students as they each struggle to understand the true meaning of karate. | |

Combat Breakdown | |
| Kuro-Obi / int_550f2108 | comment |
Combat Breakdown: the final fight between Taikan and Giryu starts out every inch the dazzling karate display you could hope for, with rapid combos and seamless takedowns, but eventually devolves into the two rolling in the mud and throwing single strikes in the hope that this one will stick. | |

Chekhov's Classroom | |
| Kuro-Obi / int_a5001f7f | comment |
Chekhov's Classroom: Taikan demonstrates an open-hand neck strike to his students, explaining how with proper technique, a single strike can kill. He later uses this exact technique on Commander Goda. Averted, in that the soldiers all believe their commander to be dead, but Taikan says he only knocked him out. | |

Good Smoking, Evil Smoking: Commander Goda smokes while observing Taikan's karate class. Taikan does not approve, in his usual awesome manner.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

Freudian Trio | |
| Kuro-Obi / int_e8cae797 | comment |
Freudian Trio: Violent Taikan is the Id, traditional Giryu is the Superego, and third student Choei is the Ego. Bonus points for the scene where Choei actually holds Taikan back from a fight. And then Choei gets his arm crippled, upon which Taikan's violence gradually grows out of control and Choei disappears off a cliff and is thought lost. Symbolic, much? | |
