Photos! Ah, the memories. Ariel, I am pretty sure you have all the episodes. I recall the last scene we of the handful of survivors of the assault on Sandokhan's stronghold sailing away in a little boat, with the Portugues guy stoically lighting one of his little cigars. Off they go to fight again another day! The whole point of the story I think wasn't that he was kicking British butt right and left (though in terms of individual fights he always did - it was just the battles that he lost), but rather that he never gave up the fight despite the overwhelming odds.

That does look a lot like a dadao. I had forgotten that. Also, isn't his turban, and the way he is wearing it with his hair out, all wrong?
