Shintarô Katsu, who played the blind swordsman "Zatoichi" in a total of 27 movies, ends the Hanzo trilogy with this excellent film in which he gets to make love to a ghost, Mako Midori (Blind Beast).The big stick, used often in the pursuit of justice, is retired forever.Katsu was his usual impudent self as he pursued those who would steal from the treasury to lend at usurious amounts to those who could not afford to pay.The usual amazing swordplay and skill of the big guy was present, along with the blood.I'm going to miss him.
