I regret that I don't know the film at all, but in many samurai films kakugo 
indicates either: 1) the speaker is telling someone to get ready to/resign oneself 
to being killed, as when Kuranosuke is about to kill Kira in Inagaki's 
Chushingura; or 2) the speaker is resigning himself to risking his life against the 
odds, or to facing certain death, These meanings of kakugo connect with 
definition 3 all the way below.

Hope this may be of some small help. I really like the language you've already 
chosen, if it fits the context well.
