The sequel, or actually, the prequel to Mikee's Ichi The Killer.

There is (afaik) no official DVD out. This is from the DVD that (afaik) was
made from a Japanese DVD and was subbed by the one dude who knows what he is
doing.

Surprisingly, considering the huge fanbase the first part has, not many of
the people we've talked with even knew this was out. So, since we're such
nice blokes & blokettes, we allways do the wrong thing. Go enjoy.

From IMDB :

Summary: Ichi's first strike - WHAT A BLAST!!!

Wow, if you're a fan of Miike's work and liked the "original" Ichi, you will
probably love this prequel! It's almost hard to believe that it wasn't Miike
himself on the director's chair. But as the assistant director in the
production of Miike's masterpiece, Masato Tanno for sure knew what he was
doing as the director in this prequel. He shows Shiroichi during his time
at Highschool, where two other boys lay claim to the status of the best fighter
of all Highschools in town. So, almost the whole film is about fighting.
And these guys really know how to punch! Tanno's film isn't as strange and
dark as its "forerunner", but it doesn't have to hide behind it. You can call
it in a row with such great masterpieces as "Ichi" or "Story of Ricky".
It's different but brutal and violent as hell. Acting was good, so was the
camera work. But director Masato Tanno definitely did the best job of them all.
If you have the possibility, you should rent it. If you're a fan of Miike's
films, buy it - you won't regret! It'll blow you away!!!
