00:00Hey guys, I'm Jason Inman from DC All Access
00:02and welcome back to Squatch Reductions,
00:05your anti-hero encyclopedia for Suicide Squad.
00:08Today we bust out the blades and go head-to-head
00:11with the most super samurai around, Katana.
00:20Tatsu Yamashiro was just an average Japanese girl
00:23with above-average martial arts skills.
00:25She was caught in a love triangle between two brothers,
00:28Maseo and Takeo Yamashiro.
00:30She chose Maseo as her husband,
00:33which greatly angered Takeo, a Yakuza member
00:35who sought vengeance against his twin.
00:38Maseo was slain by his brother using the mystical Soul Taker Sword,
00:42which traps the souls of those it kills within.
00:44Witnessing her husband's death, Tatsu disarms Takeo
00:48and is amazed to hear her husband's voice come from the sword.
00:51Katana went on to train under a master called Tadashi
00:54and engaged in super heroics for decades
00:57with the Outsiders and the Birds of Prey
00:59before voluntarily joining the Suicide Squad
01:02as Rick Flagg's personal bodyguard.
01:04This is Katana. She's got my back.
01:07Karen Fukuhara's portrayal of Katana in Suicide Squad
01:10stands out from the rest of the team
01:12as she is the only squad member
01:14who is not a criminal and fights willingly.
01:17Though as Fukuhara puts it,
01:18her character has morals and codes,
01:20but she can still slice up hundreds of people
01:23without taking a breath.
01:24Hell yes.
01:26You got a boyfriend?
01:27Next week, we'll explore the psychotic mind
01:30of Harley Quinn's worst half, the Joker.
01:33See you then.
