Pulp Zen Warriors



Largely unloved and unknown, The Loveless fused 50s and 80s retro cool. Sportster Debbie provided the look for Rei Nishimura in Zen Ambulance. Rei weren’t no samurai by blood and packed a Midnight Special instead of a katana sword but I reckon she pretty much had the same bad-arsed attitude. Sure knew how to use that Special.



Female samurai. Despite popular misconceptions, onna-bugeisha took up katanas and naginata glaives to fight to the death in bloody encounters across medieval Japan.


Rei lowered her gun, turned around and Luther followed her as she walked back to their room. 

     “You just shoot the Demon of Death, Rei?” he said, unable to contain the excitement in his voice. “You kill him stone dead?”

     “Like I told you,” she said, “big guns ain’t always better.”



Go, Rei!
