Zatoichi (Shintaro Katsu) winds up back in his hometown by chance, a place he hasn’t stepped foot in over 20 years. Even so, people still remember him from his wild youth. He even discovers he has a sister that he never knew about. Unfortunately Zatoichi’s happy homecoming is short-lived, as he discovers his old pal Shinbei (Eiji Okada) is now a no-good gangster and has been terrorizing the village. Can Zatoichi stand up to an old friend as readily as he’s stood up to countless other yakuza over the years?
