Did you ever see Akira Kurosawa's film "Kagemusha"?
As the antagonist shogun heads off for battle, there are catholic priests higher up in his castle, they give him the cross blessing from afar, and he responds with a very Japanese-style salute and a very Japanese yell of - "AMEN!"
That skewed, strange "AMEN!" has always stuck with me.

No, I haven't! I love Kurosawa though, I'll need to catch Kagemusha at some point.
