Katsu repeats his role as the blind swordsman for the 25th time or so in this adventure. After years of fighting and wandering, he passes through his birthplace and finds that his childhood friend, Okada, is now the gang chief in the area, stealing all the peasants have. With his mastery
of the sword and his unnaturally sharp hearing, Katsu slices up Okada and his lackeys with little difficulty and restores peace, only to hit the road again for the next sequel. (In Japanese; English subtitles.)
