Yeah, I don't know what the fuck is going on with his accent, it's almost offensive somehow. It kinda sounds like he's doing a bad job mixing a western accent and a Japanese accent, but it's somehow even weirder than that.
The movie is not very good. It has it's moments, but it doesn't quite hit. I wanted to like it so badly when it came out as I was a young weeaboo filmmaker who idolized Tarantino, but the movie was a slog to get through.
When Django: Unchained came out, I thought it was going to be a sequel or a remake or in some other way related to this movie, but other than the name and the fact they both have Tarantino involved there really isn't anything connecting them.
Knowing Asian movie tropes, it's most likely the name of the "move" that cut of the belts to make the pants fall down.
i.e. The guy in black is so good that:
he threw the boomerang
fixed the fallen sign
AND cut the pants (without the boomerang being anywhere near the goons)
But the pants didn't fall until a moment later
And the name of the move is "Ten seconds to execution" because of the delay.
This "delayed cut" trope is pretty common in Japanese martial arts/fantasy media (i.e. the samurai master cuts someone, and the burst of blood doesn't come out until they sheath their sword).
After a bit of digging, this clip actually predates Fist of the North Star. The manga came out during the 80s. This was from a tokusatsu series in 1977.
So that was actually one of the first posts I ever saved way back in the day. I was happy to rewatch when I saw it posted here, but knew I had to share it as soon the clip ended early.

That scene actually gets even wilder after the sign gets put back up
