I’d also seen a Japanese ninja series on TV called Shadow Warriors [Fuji TV, 1980–85], which is the best cartoon I’ve seen on the screen. The action takes place in ancient Japan, between the good guys who want to open the country to Western influence and the bad guys who are isolationists. There’s this group of ninjas who answer to no one and who, during the day, are complete imbeciles working as waiters in a restaurant, but at night, they are fearsome warriors. At the end of each episode, there was a mortal combat where the chief of the Shadow Warriors, before killing his adversary, would make an interminable speech about the necessity for exterminating evil. The guy who had to listen to this speech was sure to die in the end! My friends and I were always fascinated by these endings, which we found cool and poetic. It was in this spirit that I put the quotation from Ezekiel [25:17] in Jules’s mouth. When I was writing the scenario, I realized that in the final scene in the coffee shop, Jules couldn’t say this religious epiphany in the same way as he’s said it before. After using it for ten years, for the first time he realizes what it really means. And that’s the end of the film.
