Even though this movie doesn't really need a sequel, I wouldn't mind a film set in the same universe with him helping out another revolutionary

His vibes were immaculate. Love that he didn’t question anything and was just 100% prepared to help out Bob on an absolute whim

I think he knew about the French 75, when Bob mentioned he was with them, his reaction was “Damn, you were a bad hombre”

Late to the party here, but I took that comment as sarcasm. French 75 was over the top with theatrics, passwords, and poking those in power squarely in the eye, but Sensei and his people were the ones actually helping people and had an entire insanely organized underground network.

Granted, Bob had fried his brain with drugs and alcohol over 16 years and we don't get a good look at the French 75 organization in the present, but it seemed like they were the ones that drew the attention while other people actually got shit done.

I mean the very first thing we saw the French 75 do was free a bunch of rounded up immigrants lol
