The blind swordsman meets a dying man who makes Zatoichi promise to deliver a large sum of money to his young son, Taichi. Zatoichi's skill with his sword results in the death of several of the men, and Taichi sees Zatoichi as a second father. But a blind monk forces Zatoichi to question the violence of his existence and his future as a swordsman. (Verleiher-Text)

A truly quite dark story that shows it's still possible to advance, that it's possible to come up with a new story development. That was achieved here, and thanks to the absence of humor - although not absolute - you're presented with a story where Zatoichi's disability is addressed even more and differently than in other films.
