These final panels of Part One were written to set up a
second (final) confrontation between Yamamoto and Cheng Fu for later in the
story, but also to try and convey a flurry of Kung Fu moves all based upon
speed of the hand. So there’s a strike, then block then double strike before a
devastating kick.
The contents of the final frame were significantly scaled
down in size as I wanted to show the movement of the assassin’s kick and the
reeling effect it had upon Cheng Fu. In addition it really let me squeeze in
the gorgeously colourful ‘London at night’ photograph I was using as the
background for the scene. Yamamoto is still quite upright and static in his
pose but I rotated all of his opponent’s limbs, torso and head to put across
the force of the blow.
Victorious Yamamoto returns to his Master’s side. But
has Cheng Fu really fallen to his death from the London rooftop..?
