There are several moves like that in Japanese martial arts. The only thing that you can do to replicate is put water on the blade. It will remove some of the water, but not all of it but it’s still pretty cool though. The reason why that they would try to remove as much blood from the blade as possible is because blood will make your blade rust. I would imagine that samurai and other swordsman as soon as they got to a place they could clean their blade with probably clean it and dry it thoroughly.
@Leonardo Cesana I love old japanese movies, also that the special effects are so bad is also what's interesting about old japanese movies. But to insult someone because someone just pointed a mistake in the movie you like is just plain pathetic.
Yeah, considering all he can do /is/ hear. Would've been even better if Ichi tossed some of the dead guys' money at the kid, gawking at him from what he believed was a good hiding place.
@@jeffreyburney6161 I think drawing it off to the side is something novices or beginners do, as an act of brashness or trying to look intimidating to the opponent
@@Rei-O-Rei exactly. Or simply because they don’t know any better but in a combat situation, that would put you at a disadvantage drawing it off to the side. That’s why you’re always talk to drawl straight out, so therefore it put obstacle between you and another opponent. If I were in a sword fight with somebody and they drew their sword off to the side, that would literally be the last move they ever make. They will get cut down hard.
@@jeffreyburney6161 Yeah I definetly think that drawing it to the side is a symbolism for acting rash, jumping straight into things without thinking, which is something you are instructed not to do in Iaido
I can remember the day I first watched this masterpiece...my dad was like " hey bought a few movies pick one to watch " BOOM fell love with this movie and was happy to discover there was other movies to watch of the blind swordman. So good
LordDyhalto Nah its a reality we never hear about. Its like those people wondering why they don't attack all at once. Friendly slicing and standing too close to each other.
Outrage was a great movie. I don't think I've ever heard anyone mention it before. I caught it on the humble one night while on Netflix. I was very impressed with it.
@@apexone5502 try the sequel. It picks up with Takeshi getting out of prison. The third one, Outrage Coda, is questionable to be honest. I didn’t love it like the first two. It’s on Amazon last I checked my friend
@@chrisdooley6468 yeah, for some reason I've slacked on the first sequel. I'll make sure to check it out. Thanks for the heads up on both the 2nd and 3rd flicks.
To me, Shintaro Katsu will always be Zatoichi, but this guy who I believe is more famous as a director does a great interpretation of the blind swordsman.
Just had to laugh... fudge me. You've got his sword, don't go walking up and.....oh dear. Never gets old. One of my all time fave films, yes the effects have aged but... it's brilliant. Takeshi Kitano is on form as always. One film to have in any film fans library
@@marcinb4647ah, I think it's good. The dude is a great, experienced actor. The CGI effects were bad bad but the actual scenes and filming was great. But yes, Shintaro Katsu was a way better Zatoichi
Takeshi Kitano did a great job making this movie. One of his best movies, big hit at the cinema. Very enjoyeable. Wonder why he never made another one of this movie? He chose to make 3 Outrage movies instead. Two of them were fantastic but still feel he really brought out this Zatoichi character, the blind swordsman. He could have done like Tom Cruise, improving on his Mission Impossible series, everyone better than the next. No, he just put a full stop there.
Are you blind like Ichi? This movie was and remains crap. It's vastly inferior compared to the oldet Katsu movies. The only thing Kitano succeeded in here was bigging up his ego maybe. But then the movie was a boring flop compared to his other flicks
Having grown up on the old B/W Zatoichi movies, this one with the dyed contemporary hair made me hesitant at first. But this scene, which I think happened very early in the movie, was like the old Zatoichi. And the dude cutting up his partner was a clever touch of humor.
+NicosoftNT Sort of. There's an anime called One Piece that has Admirals based of famous Japanese actors. It just so happens the recent appointed one is based on Zaitochi. Type in Fujitora vs Sabo on TH-cam and you'll see what am talking about. Dude is an absolute beast.
yup fujitora are draw based on zatoichi,but not this version,the shintaro katsu's version,you should watch that movie,the original one,he really look like fujitora since oda draw him based on that actor,it was an awesome movie
A moment of silence to reflect on how bad Takeshi Kitano's version of Zatoichi was in every possible way and another one to appreciate the greatness of the only true Zatoichi, Shintaro Katsu, and all of his films.
The man who was talk to the kid, is the actor from "Murudeka/Merdeka 1945" movie, it is Indonesian Independence movie when the last moment Japanese occupation before independence proclamation of Indonesia.
That dude just brought Zatoichi's sword back to him LMAO
The risk he took was calculated but man, he sucked at math.
@@BluesyBor And he s Asian *blown mind*.
@@mrpuss2519 Being Asian kinda a moot point when your up against another Asian.
He's a fool. He should had sneakily beheaded Zaitoichi with the sword instead of mocking him.
@@sweetcandysugaarmy8480 typical weekend cartoon villain mentality.
That move he do to remove the blood off his sword always give me chills, despite how many time i see it.
Imagine being able to move that fast!? Sheesh!!!
I taught him well.
It's called Chiburi. In reality he probably would have thoroughly wiped the sword to prevent lingering blood which would cause rust

I think it's stupid.
Takeshi Kitano, from comedian to Yakuza to Samurai. Man of many talents.
and most of his movies are violent…
1:37 this was pure comedy
I remember Hanabi, a great movie also composed by Joe Hisashi. Same man who composed any Studio Ghibli anime
Don’t forget his game, Takeshi’s Challenge
pretty sure he was in battle royals as well ?
The Special Effects for this movie haven't aged well, but the movie itself has aged like a fine wine.
Can you shut up?
@@snakeplissken2313 why? he's only giving his opinion.
Even in Japan the fake blood cgi was criticized by everyone. The fight choreography is still some of the best.
@Leonardo Cesana I love old japanese movies, also that the special effects are so bad is also what's interesting about old japanese movies. But to insult someone because someone just pointed a mistake in the movie you like is just plain pathetic.
I think they were going for the unrealistic and obviously fake blood spurting effect on purpose
He later joind the marines and even helped the straw hats.

I always believed that Zatoichi could hear that a child was coming to take his sword but that he let it be...
Makes sense, I did too. Kid was innocent.
@e causey oh yeah.
Yeah, considering all he can do /is/ hear. Would've been even better if Ichi tossed some of the dead guys' money at the kid, gawking at him from what he believed was a good hiding place.
He was in no real danger, I'm pretty sure he was aware of that. Plus, he knew he'd be getting his sword back...😉😉😉
The kids approach was not that quiet.
The way the lacky cuts his buddies arm drawing his sword is so funny 😆 well done
That’s why you’re always taught to drawl the sword straight out and not off to the side

@@serbiseedafos4272 never have. huge Kitano and Ghibli and AKIRA fan; not so much other Japanese cinema

그러게요...
Even the one who isn't blind cut his own people, LOL :P
It reminds me to Stephen Chow's movie 😃
Eppiku fairu!
You can see on his face how much he hates killing. Amazing acting.
His enemies kept asking for it, honestly
Love how he breaks the guys ankle before the actual sword blow. Have to remember that one in case of a street fight.
Never heard of this movie, clicked on this from a suggestion. This scene is so badass I'm definitely going to rent the movie.
Go for it, its great. Don’t forget to also watch the old movies too. All are fantastic.
1:38 that sword draw haha
and the other samurai like: WTF Dude I'm on your side!
I wonder if that was a blooper and they decided to keep it xD
LordDyhalto Nah its a reality we never hear about. Its like those people wondering why they don't attack all at once. Friendly slicing and standing too close to each other.
and all the others are like "lets stay away from that guy" xD
He didnt even apologized lol
Classic scene. This movie has everything.

LOL.. dude, did you just sliced my arm?! LOL
Even a blind man cant find any peace......
well, he's not really blind
I replayed the dance scene again and again, loved it.
This dude is a complete badass.

Note to self: Never ever ever bother a blind swordsman having a drink!
Don't understimate, size or handicaps, Zatoichi was a moral message to the Bullies.
There’s only one Zatoichi. But Beat Kitano was perfect for this role
You can see the exact moment at 0:41 when Ichi knows the kid stole his cane. I love how he always plays a fool, and everybody underestimates him.
Having grown up on the old B/W Zatoichi movies, this one with the dyed contemporary hair made me hesitant at first. But this scene, which I think happened very early in the movie, was like the old Zatoichi. And the dude cutting up his partner was a clever touch of humor.
Zatoichi is another example of “Don’t judge a book by its cover”.
Wish I could find more fights from the 1962 version. For the year it was made, EVERYTHING was spot on.
Litterally walks up to the man and shakes the hand the swords in 😂😂 like its right here old man take it if u can lol
1:25 damn he flawlessly clean his sword with that move. Only master swordsman can do that.
Moral of the story: Don't fuck with blind people.
L Pendergast Zatoichi*
The effects were bad, but they made it funny and entertaining, I really liked the musical scores that blended the scenes together.
he is such an excellent master
Love that movie. Old time favourite
I'm old schooler and love the original Ichi but I like this as well.
God, i love Kitano.
his movies are majestic and full of universal, hilarious, relatable humour
he's a genius as far as I'm concerned
the best iteration of zatoichi title after shintaro katsu.
God doesn't exist. Get real.

I always watch this movie when it comes on tv,great fight scenes and humour and l particularly like the dance scene at the end.
Never mess with a blind sword man
I'll always precer shintaro katsu, (spelled wrong i'm sure) but this movie had a special charm to it. Always have a place for the guy with the spear!
Written, directed, co-edited and starring "Beat" Takeshi Kitano.
Imagine a Jedi with that kind of speed, power & precision.
Good example of a time when practical effects were still best. Still a great flick tho! Absolutely loved the older stuff based on him.
Improbable scene. Zatoichi could hear ants walking nearby and this kid could just snatch his sword? YEAH RIGHT!
The point is that he knew the thugs would bring his sword back to him.
He likely already hear and knew what the thug planning.
اروع الافلام الاجنبيه تحياتي لجهودكم الرائعة التي تسعدنا مزيدا من التقدم
nothing beats the old 60's ichi!
The kicker that you find out at the end of the movie is, HE'S NOT BLIND, he just pretends to be to make his opponents underestimate him.
Well actually he is. He pretends not to be blind.
His last line is when he trips: "Even with my eyes wide open...I can't see a thing"
1:21 How it feels to chew 5 gum.
im the only one who likes this what the heck lol
I haven’t seen this movie but I did enjoy the old black and white series. This movie looks good
If there was a fight between Zatoichi and Daredevil, I’d bet on the blind swordsman that he’ll kill Daredevil.
Daredevil won't even dare fight him
I love the classic one more by Shintaro Katsu.
I do too but dang if Takeshi didn't do well. Just like Bond films there were good and not so good to fill those shoes.
One of my favorite classic s
no one talking about how he sheathes his sword with his eyes closed in the hardest way to show he's got crazy control, goddam
1:21 lmao that scream

Thanks Quentin
When i first saw Zatoichi i immediately screamed FUJITORAAA
1:46 that animation though xD
The ultimate best Japanese movies ever made.
For a clueless brain-dead gaijin who only saw one Japanese movie in his life, maybe!
When you realize Mr. Takamura from Sakamoto Days is based on Zatoichi.
Zatoichi is inspiration for some of known manga characters. Like Fujitora from One Piece or Zenitsu from Kimetsu no Yaiba.
this is a remake of the movie, but i think it better then the first one
Takeshi is awesome
Star Wars fans coming this way soon!
Zatoichi would never draw his sword before someone else did...
He does draw it first and use it to kill unarmed. Yakuza boss at end of film learns it personally.
Admiral Fujitora🔥🔥
That friendly fire or slash 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Old Zatoich is ruthless
thank you zatoishi

Woooo, that ankle break was nasty!
I recommend "Takeshi Kun Hai", a serial TV drama of Kitano's childhood based on his essays. You will find funny and interesting family stories of him.
The lack of background music adds quite a bit to the movie.
Zato Ino from "Usagi Yojimbo Saga": approves! (oinking with respect)
