My favourite episode in the Zatoichi series - fun, bloody, intelligent and action-packed. Anyone wanting a good start in Zatoichi movies could do a lot worse than choosing this film to watch. Also: wonderful transfer (and subtitles) by AnimEigo. Fantastic stuff!

This installment of the series may have the most action out of all of them. Zatoichi is dealing with a gang that is after him, while Chinese one armed fighter Jimmy Wang Yu is protecting a boy who interrupted a funeral procession. The funeral procession people want to kill the kid, and a simple misunderstanding makes the One-Armed Swordsman think Zatoichi has ratted the framed traveler out to the badguys. Lots of action and even some themes, such as Chinese vs. Japanese culture, and fiefdoms and their aggressive stance on murdering those who disturb funeral processions as they are sort of corrupt. Featuring an insane duel from both iconic heroes, Zatoichi Meets the One-Armed Swordsman is one of the best crossovers that cinemas has to offer.

Weaker entry in the series. The fights are good and much bloodier then usual but I really hated how the one-armed swordsman was able to leap around like a superhero. Also, Zatoichi spends most of the movie trying to help the one-armed swordsman but still ends up fighting him in the end? I don't know if I missed the betrayal scene because I was watching this at work and it was kind of loud or what but I definitely didn't know why they were fighting. Beyond that, the film didn't explore the morality of the character the way the best of the series do so it was more just the spectacle of the fights. This is fine but left me longer for the one's that take the character a little more seriously.

This is a great edition to the Zatoichi legacy. The fact that he can take out one of the greatest martial artist from China has to be a huge notch on his belt. Seriously this movie is great for other reasons than that to be honest Wang Kang (the one-armed swordsman) is not the greatest foe that he has faced at all. It's just cool that two nations can come together at that point in history and have their heroes face off in a great battle. Another highlight is that of the barrel-fight sequence it's very funny and different from other things i've seen through out this series of movies. If you wanna watch half of this series or only a third this edition is a must see.

Highly recommended for you
