No More Heroes 1 Wiimote Beam Katana Issue

[microchipmatt]

I have the my Wii remote synced with Dolphin 5.0-14790. I started a game of no more heroes, and everything was working great. I Killed the first 2 bosses, and am ranked as 9th. I started the third Assasin "Side Mission" In the baseball field, and my Beam Katana will NOT swing anymore. The A button works, I can forwards dialogs, but it will no longer swing the Beam Katana. I tried reloading the game, loading another save, I even synced up a different WiiMote...None of this works. It seems to be a bug. Does anyone have any suggestions?
