Watanabe's films revolve entirely around pacing. His stories move with a very deliberate flow; constantly slowing and speeding up, keeping the viewer off-balance and totally involved. Watanabe's characters often move the same way.

This attitude is notably recurrent in Mugen, the protagonist of the Samurai Champloo series.
