I am afraid of being beaten

and losing

But I am more afraid of

surviving as a cripple

than dying while I am fighting!

I hear the wind howl

I hear the fear inside of me

END OF THE PACIFIC WAR - 1945

A:

Stop!

That's how I began to dream

of being a pilot

But the end of the Pacific War

ended my dream

Stop!

You'll be dead

The end of the war

was driving people mad

Who are they?

They're Koreans who refused

to fly in the Kamikaze

Let them go!

But

Yes, sir!

The Kamikaze is a sacred ceremony

We can't stain it

with the blood of Koreans

You bastards!

You're just using us

as human shields

When did you teach us

how to fly?

Sh*t!

Who the hell are you?

What insolence

you Korean!

How dare you defy

His Majesty's rule?

Fine, shoot me

Pilot? Aviation school?

I don't give a damn anymore

Go ahead, you bastards!

Stop it

Not bad for a greenhorn

What's that silly skill?

It's called Taekkyeon

a Korean martial art

Korean martial arts?

Let me make an offer

If you defeat me in a fight, I'll

let you and your friends live

But if you lose, I'll

only kill you Gruesomely

What do you think?

It seems you care

about your life indeed

Baedal!

Are you scared?

Showing your back in a fight

you certainly are Korean

You don't have enough honor

to learn martial arts

Baedal, Baedal!

Wake up!

And so that year passed...

Japan surrendered unconditionally

because of the atomic bomb

And my country was liberated

However, only devastation was left

after the war ended

Similarly, my courage was left

in ruins after that defeat

Give me a chocolate

Give me a chocolate

Give me a chocolate
