* ConservationOfNinjutsu: Averted. Frank only manages to take on large groups of targets when he has the element of surprise. His initial plan to take advantage of the Mafia and Yakuza's feud was to stay out of it and mop up the survivors as getting caught in the initial crossover unaware had him barely managing to fight his way out. Later on, after gunning down dozens of Tanaka's men with an ambush, just two of them give him immense trouble once his gun is knocked out of his hands.

After Frank Castle's (Creator/DolphLundgren) family was killed by organized crime, he started a war on them as [[VigilanteMan the vigilante]] known as The Punisher. His work causes the [[TheMafia New York crime families]] appear weak, and a MobWar between them and the {{Yakuza}} breaks out, who try to muscle in on their turf.
