Episode 23: Zatoichi Meets Yojimbo

Tonight's episode brings us to the showdown we have all been waiting for: Zatoichi vs. Yojimbo. However, like many entries in this series, things are not what they seem (the twist is that it's not a very good movie)

From IMDB: Zatoichi (ShintarĂ´ Katsu) becomes a drunken bodyguard's (ToshirĂ´ Mifune) adversary when he becomes caught up in a feud between a village boss and the man's son over stolen gold.

Episode 22: Samaritan Zatoichi

After a loooooong break we are back with movie 19, a soft reboot of sorts of the Blind Swordsman series explores a darker, less controlled Zatoichi as he finds himself once again in conflict.

From IMDB: Zatoichi is tricked by a crime gang into killing a man. Realizing his mistake, he sets out to protect the dead man's sister, who is conflicted in accepting his help.
