La Légende de Zatoïchi, Vol. 18 : Le Défi

You stumble into a rain-soaked Edo alley and that’s when the blind swordsman’s cane taps your ankle. A band of wanted men hide their stolen gold inside you but the official hunting them won’t believe your pleas and the blade is already at your throat and then Zatoichi’s humming cuts through the dark. The film stays with the knife-edge silence before blood hits dirt.
