Synopsis by Jeremy Wheeler
Blind swordsman and masseur Zatoichi (Shintaro Katsu) does battle with a one-armed swordsman in this exciting installment of the Zatoichi film series. While traveling across the plains of Furukawa, the blind hero comes in contact with a one-armed swordsman, Wang Kang, and a child on the run from a band of bloodthirsty samurai. Taking refuge in their temple, Zatoichi finds himself deep in intrigue and lies as the hunt becomes a clash between the two swordsmen in a bloody fight for their lives.
