Wow, this Zatoichi movie is one of the bloodiest and most violent one yet. Heads come off right here. The story was okay. Those battle scenes, though. I had me a big Japanese feast this Sunday and saw a Zatoichi double feature. Here, Zatoichi arrives in a village where a gambling ring kidnapped a group of people because of debt. A rival gambling ring pays them to set them free but shit hits the fan. Before you know it, there's hands and heads flying in the air. This is also the first time that I noticed that Zatoichi refers to himself as a traveling yakuza. At least he mentions that in one of the earlier scenes.
No one never learns. They always underestimate poor Zatoichi.
And here is my Japanese feast for this occasion.
