This is really debatable, but I'll give my interpretation of the ending, which may very well be completely wrong. After Ichi kills the little boy's father (I forget his name), he goes into a state of near-catatonic psychosis, and is severely beaten, and possibly killed, by the little boy as Kakihara looks on. Throughout the film, Kakihara had been searching out Ichi, but he didn't just want to fight. He wanted Ichi to
kill him. Upon seeing that Ichi is no longer capable of killing, he drives his weapons into his own brain, causing the hallucination that led to his death. Jijii's purpose in life was to destroy Kakihara's gang. With this mission fulfilled, he no longer has a reason to live, and hangs himself.
