A karate expert in Japan who broke a haunted house worker’s jaw with a kick in 2011 has lost his lawsuit against an amusement park.
The man, who admitted to drinking before entering the haunted house at Toei Kyoto Studio Park in Kyoto in 2011 while travelling with his colleagues, had argued that the park should have warned visitors that humans acted as ghosts and it should have protected its staff better.

The karate expert was startled when a park worker, dressed as a ghost, stepped forward to frighten him. The man, who has not been named, kicked the “ghost” in the face and later said it was a reflex.

Ex-fucking-scuse me? Dude batters an employee and then sues them? What an asshole.

So did he think he was karate kicking a real ghost?
Anyway, I think we have the final film in the trilogy started by Karate Bull Fighter and Karate Bear Fighter. Or a Japanese Scooby Doo that is over in a couple of minutes: Jinkies! A werewolf! BAM!
Oh, apparently you can’t even roundhouse a ghost anymore. What’s this world coming to?
Any insight on why this Japanese legal case took 13 years to rule?
You can’t kill a ghost with kicks. You have to yell at it.
