Viewing Notes
Partially influenced by Japanese New Wave by this, the sixth movie in the series. Zatoichi really is superhuman. The gambling stunt is ridiculous.
Fun to see Tomisaburo Wakayama show up again as a new character right after seeing him in Killer’s Mission where he pretends to be Zatoichi.
