What they share
Both films are directed by Daisuke Itō, and they both carry the foreign gem, outsider mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Ambitious, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Chuji's Travel Diary: The Chuji Patrol Episode is
Swords and samurai meet pulp swagger as a rogue gambler chases a kidnapped geisha through Edo’s back alleys. Chuji Kunisada’s kamikaze parade of debtors and crooks turns the class ceiling into a floor. Silent-era dynamite with a rogue’s solidarity.
