    Ichi (Shintaro Katsu) travels to Ashido, a mining village. On his way there, he meets and makes friends with an old man named Tatsuzo. In the mining village, a scheming and nefarious yakuza boss named Yasaburo is taking over the local mining business by unfairly forcing the the town residents out of their jobs and businesses. Ichi combines forces with an aging martial artist named Tatsu the Sword Thrower in aiding Oshin, a young woman in protecting her business from Boss Yasaburo and his henchmen. Yasaburo has hired an expert rifleman, so Ichi needs to find a counter to him getting shot.

      I agree, he is one of the greatest Japanese Warrior characters come out of Japan. You must watch every season and the films, because they are in the same time line.
      If pay attention closely he mentions places he been in the t.v. series and films.

    I wonder if Zatochi was based on the Japanese Yakuza/ Folk Hero Shimizu Jirocho born February 14, 1820 ( valentine day) - died June 12, 1893? Love Zatochi films and T. V. Series, I watched them couple times.

    I love ronin samurai stories, I love watching samurai battles. Also so authentically Japanese, 100%. The choreography is spot on and VERY convincing. I love this show. Not very epic sound effects, sorry. Talking about sword fights, but overall I love it.

  • @yannjodry7917

    I've seen all the movies with Shintaro Katsu, and even the rip off European western with with Ringo Starr, the 80's one with Rutger Hauer,... The Takeshi Kitano one of course (almost perfect, but the atrocious CGI blood ruins a lot of scenes. Even the one, Ichi, with the beautiful Haruka Ayase. I just missed the 2010 (very bad reputation, but...).
    But I can't find the US DVD for the series.
    So thanks a million fo uploading it!!!!
    P.S.: Shintaro Katsu was, still is and will forever be THE blind swordsman. Fabulous actor.

    Thank you so damn much for uploading the series. This isn't available to watch anywhere else, so I appreciate it. I like that Ichi helps others that need help and he changes their lives for the better. And he has suffered, but keeps going anyway without giving up. And the writing is amazing...interactions between the characters are so real and down to earth. And of course, his badass fast as hell katana cane sword skills are enjoyable to watch. I will be buying the blu-ray set with the 26 Zatoichi films soon.

    BTW. anyone else here hip to The Crimson Bat, everyone's favorite (female) Zatoichi copycat? The CB films are similar to most Zatoichi flicks, her character is also refined, honorable, focused and capable and, as Zatoichi copycats go, The Crimson Bat's not too shabby. And if memory serves, she and Zatoichi appear together in one film.

    I was well-satisfied with the 27 Zatoichi films starring Katsu Shintaro & you go springing these gourmet 46-minute Zatoichi TV series episodes on us which I had long read about but assumed they would be silly in comparison to the feature length films. Color me oh so delightfully wrong. Katsu Shintaro and pals play so nice, on TV & in the cinema, don't you agree? Domo.

    • @michaelkottler
      @michaelkottler ปีที่แล้ว +2

      BTW, I find the opening music for the TV series pleasant in a uniquely relaxing yet energizing and whimsical way. Nice. Zatoichi possesses so many fine qualities in rare combination and represents the highest levels of capability, empathy, integrity, humor and honor. Katsu Shintaro's Zatoichi is a wonderfully well-intentioned, caring, and noble character whom I wish just once would get the woman of his dreams for more than five minutes as he is very deserving of every happiness. But without the pathos I guess it wouldn't be Zatoichi, but still. He's really the best and I would have preferred him as a kenjitsu and iaijutsu not to mention taijitsu instructor over all a majority of real-life others I've trained under. And what a friend and/or mentor or confidant he'd make. Zatoichi is so utterly cool in every way. He's the best kind of hero IMHO. Can you dig it?

Is there any estimate on when you will make the other episodes of season 3 available? From what I saw, up to episode 5 of that season 3 is available on this playlist. Will season 4 be available? And would you get the Lone Wolf and Cub TV series and the movies too? Thank you very much !
