Of course, the action-sequences provide the necessary tension and excitement, but – and this heightens the pleasure of this experience tremendously – various non-action moments, like simple conversations or silent situations that can suddenly turn violent, also deliver a subtle by pleasing tension.

The Fable: The Killer Who Doesn’t Kill is full of tension. This is not only highlighted by his unique way of laughing, his stern seriousness, and his inability to drink or eat warm food, but also underlined by the way his reflexes as assassin keep him blind for Misaki’s subtle romantic advances and render him unable to ‘appropriately’ enter the field of romancing. The lightheartedness, like in the previous film, is function of Fable being subtly out of place within his social environment and the fact that he remains blind to his own incompatibility with the ‘normal’ world he now resides in. This play with information keeps the spectator’s interest in Fable’s future enemy high. As the nature of this relationship – either he exploits her or he genuinely cares for her – remains indeterminate and his past dealing with Sato remain vague, the spectator is refused, for the larger part of the narrative, a definite insight in Utsubo’s true subjectivity and his motives. Whether his concern for the community and the safety for children is merely an act or not depends on the nature of his relationship with Hinako Saba, whose legs are paralyzed, and his past with Fable. The spectator is quickly led to question which face of Utsubo is his true face? Is his concern with the community just an act, a mere cover for his illegal work or for a grudge yet unknown? What makes Eguchi’s narrative so pleasant is the fact that the answers to these questions are kept, at least for a certain time, in suspense. Not much later, Misaki is approached by Utsubo and his new co-worker Isaki (Jun Kurose), concerning possible hidden cameras in her apartment. Then, one day, Akira Sato meets a girl in a wheelchair in the park, reminding him of a girl, Hinako Saba (Yurina Hirate), who he rescued after murdering her pimp four years ago. Unbeknownst to the public, heworks with contract killer Suzuki (Masanobu Ando) to extort people and murder others. Yet, he has not renounced his criminal ways. Meanwhile,Utsubo (Shinichi Tsutsumi), the sole survivor of Fable’s past executions, has built a successful career as the president of a NPO concerned with the safety of children.

Can Kan Eguchi please audiences once more with the action-rich adventures of the beloved hitman who does not kill?Īfter saving his beloved co-worker Misaki (Misaki Shimizu) out of the claws of the Yakuza, Akira Sato (Junichi Okada), also known as Fable, returns to his peaceful life with his ‘sister’ Yoko Sato(Fumino Kimura). While The Fable (2019) failed to become one of the ten most grossing films in Japan that year, the film’s financial success and its satisfying international reputation was sufficient for Shochiku to greenlight a sequel. In 2019, Kan Eguchi brought Katsuhisa Minami’s award-winning manga ‘ The Fable’, to the silver screen.
