Zatoichi is back and he's better than ever. Wait, he's always back better than ever.
This movie was actually a little too repetitive. Nothing fresh happens here except a chess game. That's it. Good fight scenes like usual. Everyone always want to take advantage of the blind samurai. He's always two steps ahead, though. In this movie he meets and becomes friends with a chess expert all while he's out killing yakuzas and trying to save a sick little girl. Short and simple. Probably my least favorite of the Zatoichi movies.
