Let go!
Just shut up and give me the money.
Please, I need this money! Beast! Let me go!
I can't let you have it!
Shut up!
Give it back! Shut up!
Bastard!
H... Help!
H... Hello?
Is something the matter?
Hello?
W... What's the matter?
H... Hello?
Oh, you're expecting.
Where's a midwife when you need one?
I'm a masseur, not a midwife.
What am I gonna do?
All right, madam.
I'll do what I can.
Hang on a second.
All right. Don't worry.
Just a moment.
All right, madam. We can do this together.
Are you ready?
Here goes.
You don't have to be embarrassed.
I'm a blind guy. I can't see a thing.
You're closing your legs; please open them.
Go on, push.
Madam, you can do it.
The baby's coming!
Push! Push! Push!
Push! Push!
PUSH!
The baby's born!
A Boy! A Boy!
It's a boy! You had a boy!
Hey, madam.
It's a baby boy. Here's your baby.
Take him... to Shiobara. Sataro... his father.
Hello?
Ouch!
That's some hard birdshit.

Hey!
Thank you for waiting.
No problem, thank you so much.
Come here!
Leave me alone!
Nevermind! Leave me alone!
There we go. All set.
Hey... Here you go...
Hey, you. That baby blind, too?
There. There's a scary man here, so let's go.
Madam, the bill please.
Yes.

Ouch! Son of a bitch!
Madam...
Thanks for the gruel.
Zatoichi at Large
"Wanted: Zatoichi. He's blind."
"A master of quick-draw swordsmanship."
"20-ryo for turning him in."
We all should look for him.
Why would such a famous outlaw come here, to the mountains?
Best to work and get a few mon for sure, than gamble on 20-ryo.
Poster: "Wanted: Zatoichi. Reward: 20-ryo."
Surviving in this merciless world...
... is like shooting craps when the dice are loaded.
But I'll roll them anyway, and take my chances...
Guess the cup with the pebble and double your money.
Watch carefully.
There, there, there.
Your odds are one in three. Guess right and double up!
I saw it go in there. For sure.
I think it's this one.
Is that right?
Now I don't want you to regret your decision.
I'll give you a chance to change your bet.
Let's make sure.
Let's see. This one went here, and that one went there.
No way! He moved this one here, I'm telling you.
Hold on a sec.
If that one's there, and this one's here, then it's over there.
Never mind all that. Leave it to me.
You sure? Positive?
Just give me the bet.
I'm counting on ya.
Show it to me!
It's final!
See? Not there. I knew it.
Well, that's that.
Let's do it again, folks.
Watch real carefully. Here goes.
Where'd it go?
Hey, fella. It's here, isn't it?
He won't tell.
What's this?
A blind guy?
Yes. Mind if I place a bet?
I don't mind, but this game tests your observational skills.
Take my advice, don't do it.
I can't see, but I can hear. Please let me play.
Here!
I just doubled my money!
Doubled, as promised.
Seeing isn't believing. Hearing is!
Just pretend that you're blind.
What a bummer!
Hey, bro. You owe me.
You live in this village?
Yeah, so what?
You know a guy called Sataro?
Sataro? Yeah.
Where is he?
He's the sake-brewer's son. So what?
Hold on...
I want you to have a look at this baby.
Does Sataro look like this baby?
Believe it or not, Sataro is his dad.
You're nuts, right? Sataro can't be...
No, it's no mistake.
So please take me to this sake-brewer.
Well... If you insist.
But don't tell me I didn't warn you, okay?
This is Sataro.
How do you do?
I'll fill you in on the details later.
But first, would you hold this baby?
Strange circumstances, I know.
But this is your son. There's no mistake.
It's pee-pee.
I told you. How can that brat be a father?
You really are crazy, aren't you?
You're blind. I told you that at the start.
You trying to pull the wool over my eyes?
The wool...?
I warned you, didn't I?
You got a problem?
Making fun of a blind man. Son of a bitch.
Your handkerchief.
Thank you.
I reckon you're a constable, sir.
Yeah.
Just a useless old geezer, pounding his beat.
Yes, sir.
That punk!
Kids today are out of line.
Mr. Anma, please forgive him.
Oh, yes.
They make fun of me all the time. I'm used to it.
He probably gets his bad habits from his parents.
That'd be me.
He's my son.
Really?
So this Sataro is a yakuza?
I heard he got married in Kumagai.
As to why he'd send his pregnant wife alone on a trip...
I have no idea.
A pebble got in.
Speaking of which, some kid's been pelting me with rocks.
It's a bad batch.
So, does Sataro have any relatives in this village?
Does he?
His sister, Oya-e, works at an inn.
Is that so? Sir...
What should I do with the baby?
I don't know.
Fate has joined you. Why don't you adopt him?
No! I can't do that.
What's the name of the inn?
Abura-ya.
The wind must've blown the pebble in.
Abura-ya.
Yes, sir.
Thank you for your help.
This batch is useless, all right.
I... never met my brother's wife.
I wouldn't know if this is his baby.
What can I say?
Just look at his mug... I mean, his cute face.
He's a dead ringer for Sataro.
It's an uncanny resemblance!
Please! Don't be ridiculous.
He's just a baby.
Don't cry. Your auntie will take care of you.
He's crying. Please take care of him.
I can't do it!
I live and work here as a maid.
It's all right. All right.
Poor baby.
You'll never find happiness in my arms.
Poor baby. She says that nobody cares about you.
Sure, we can watch the baby for you, but...
Please. Just until my brother comes back.
As you can see, we're not exactly well-off.
Much obliged!
Don't worry about the baby.
We have eight mouths to feed already. What's one more? Right?
Whatever...
Thank you so much.
You came out of nowhere. You took me by surprise.
I was tempted to just leave the baby there and go.
My brother should be back sometime this month.
Well...
I wonder why he didn't travel with his wife?
I don't know, but since I'm already involved...
I'll work in this village until Sataro returns.
Then stay at my inn.
Huh?
I'll ask the mistress to work something out.
You're very kind, but I...
Ouch!
What did you do that for, boy?!
Ouch... ouch...
Y... You're bleeding.
He's been pitching rocks at me wherever I go.
There are no yakuza gangs in this village.
How unusual!
Wow, how come?
"Why no yakuza gangs," you ask?
A constable named Tobei got rid of them.
All gone.
Entertainers don't have to pay levies to the yakuza.
Everything we earn at the festival is ours to keep.
What a wonderful place to work!
"Kagome, kagome:" "Ring around the rosie" "Kagome, kagome..."
Out of the way!
It's Tetsugoro.
Such a villain in our town!
What will happen to our festival?
There goes the neighborhood.
Listen up!
From now on, this is a whorehouse.
And you're the whores.
"Pine Needles Breaking..." "Nightingale's Valley..." I'll teach you all 48 official positions!
You've got a lot to learn.
Please, Boss!
I'll pay you back the money. Please spare my inn.
I beg you!
Toss him.
Go in.
He's here.
So you're constable Tobei's son?
Well?
Yeah.
Thanks.
How's your dad doing?
Keeping healthy. He's doing fine.
Quite a character, your father.
He ran the Kuroha yakuza out of town. He had a lot of power in those days.
But he was young then.
You want something from my father?
I need to talk to him.
Tell him Boss Tetsugoro's asking for him.
OK... Get going.
Yes.
Finish your drink before you go.
Get moving!
Down the hatch.
Go!
Watch it! You blind or something?
Get out of my way!
Dumbshit! Since when are you a lackey for yakuza?
But dad...
That Tetsugoro's a real badass.
He's got a beef with you. I ran here as fast as I could.
You're pathetic. A constable's son, running errands for yakuza.
This is serious!
Dad!
Hey.
Long time, no see.
I came all the way from Yaita to talk with you.
I was just telling my dad...
Out.
Piss off.
I refuse.
How harsh.
All right then. I'll respect your decision.
I'll buy a "license."
50-ryo.
100-ryo, 200-ryo, it makes no difference. The law's not for sale.
Even if I took your bribe...
The magistrate wouldn't approve.
Don't worry about that.
He's been taken care of.
So now, if you cooperate, everything's fine.
For you, maybe. But not for me.
I suggest you reconsider.
You're in good hands with us.
I said no.
What don't you understand?
You're talking to Constable Tobei. I'm upholding the law here until I die.
You still here?
Get going.
I'm busy.
Shut up, you bastard!
Get in!
Oshige, daughter of Ni-emon, the farmer.
That you?
Yes.
His debt's 5-ryo.
It's overdue.
Get up.
Turn around.
Ugly, but well-equipped.
Give her a bath and throw her into the back room.
Oya-e, farmer Kyubei's daughter.
He's dead. She's working as a maid at the inn.
What's she owe?
Well... with interest, 20-ryo.
The due date's tomorrow.
Please wait until tomorrow.
My brother... He will bring the money.
You sure about that?
Yes. He surely will.
But, if he doesn't bring the money...
You know what will happen.
Yes.
Boss, the entertainers are here.
Listen up! Boss Tetsugoro will now endure your lousy acts.
Do your best to please the Boss. Understand?
You, you start.
Hurry up.
We begin with the dramatic scene of Boss Chuji as he descends Mt. Akagi.
"Come on boss, let's get going down the mountain. C'mon."
Having killed the corrupt magistrate, he is now a fugitive.
A farewell drink, before he descends!
"Oh, how beautiful indeed is the moon tonight!"
"When the moon hides behind the clouds, then will I descend Mt. Akagi."
"Hey."
"Boss."
Wherever he wills to go, wherever his feet would take him...
A wandering fugitive he's become.
"Chuji! You're under arrest!"
Poor Chuji falls down, finally defeated.
And that was the fate of Chuji.
"Chuji! You're under arrest!"
That was pretty funny.
Thank you.
I would estimate that your show would earn about 3-shu at the festival.
At least that much, I hope.
So 10% of your earnings would be about 100-mon.
I appreciate your generosity.
No, that's what you pay us.
That's ridiculous. It's like I'm paying to perform.
If you refuse, your show's banned from the festival.
Are you paying or not?
I'll pay, I'll cough it all up. What a drag!
Guess we're next.
Hope you enjoy our show.
You'd better get it right. Hope you enjoy our show.
Tough crowd.
We'll start with a dance number. "Hey, aren't you the one who got married recently?"
"You young stud you, come here!"
"Flashing under my skirt! Flashing under my skirt!"
Get out of here.
What's your problem?
What's with the flashing stuff? What's your problem?
What do you care, the men like it!
You're getting on my nerves!
Shaking from head to toe, nonetheless going forward with sword in hand...
...forward, forward, forward!
Ready now to make an ambush at the river.
Without much ado, the sword sliced away.
What a slice it was!
And deep was the cut, indeed!
Shut up! That's enough.
Since you ought to make 3-shu, you'll pay 100-mon.
That's not fair!
Shaddap. And when the festival's over, you'll pay 50% of your earnings to the boss.
Refuse if you want.
But know this...
You'll be banned from the festival.
Fifty percent? How will I feed my monkeys?
They'll complain.
They're very smart monkeys.
"Your demand's impossible," they'll say.
Then they'd say, "You gouging bastards!"
We have to support our grandparents!
We have eight children!
What kind of yakuza are you guys?
50% of our profits is outrageous, indeed...
What?
All right, I'll pay.
Maybe you're overcharging, let's talk it out.
What's going on?!
I won't stand for blackmail and anarchy.
Here comes the old geezer.
Beat it!
When you start throwing your weight around, that's when I get involved!
Who are you?
Just a masseur, as you can see.
I don't recall hiring a masseur.
Hello, Boss.
I've got a few tricks of my own to perform for the boss.
You blind?
Yes.
I'm not interested in watching a massage. Throw him out.
Get lost!
So you do have some tricks, I see.
What's your act?
Full-frontal nude dancing?
Someone point a sword at me. Right about here.
Hey.
Like this?
Please point them down to the floor.
Yeah, whatever.
Let's do it.
What the...?
Now, about that nude dancing...
So, boss...
Let's not get too greedy.
Huh?
W... What do you want?
The festival comes around once a year...
Please let everyone earn a good living.
I know that.
I'm doing it for you.
Everyone. I have good news.
The boss has granted permission for you to work without levy.
Sorry to drop in so late. I was wondering how the baby's doing.
The girl came by and took the baby with her.
Oya-e did?
Oya-e.
Shhh! He just fell asleep.
I'll be down there in a minute.
He went to sleep in your arms.
He must know you're related.
Is something worrying you?
If my brother doesn't bring the 20-ryo...
20-ryo?
When my father became sick...
I borrowed 1-ryo.
The note fell into Tetsugoro's hands.
Now they say I owe 20-ryo.
After my father died...
I wrote a letter to my brother.
He replied and said he'd send me the money.
But the due date is tomorrow.
If the money doesn't get here...
I would have to...
Don't even say it.
Having to take several johns every night into bed with you...
That would soon destroy both your body and spirit.
I may be blind, but I know...
...that you, Miss Oya-e, are a beautiful person...
If you were to catch some horrible disease...
...your body would become rotten, right down to the bones.
No, don't you worry.
Your brother will definitely bring the money.
You're up.
Ichi, your breakfast is ready.
Yes, ma'am.
Brother! Yes, ma'am.
Oya-e!
Sorry I'm late.
Were you worried?
I sent Oshino on ahead...
...just in case something happened to me.
About Oshino...
She had her baby.
Really? So soon? Is it a boy...? A girl?
It's a boy. But...
But what?
Did something happen to Oshino? Tell me!
While she was on the road...
...she had her baby, and...
Is Oshino dead?
That man brought the baby here.
Thank you for your kind deed.
Don't mention it.
I just happened by, so I helped her.
Miss Oya-e, I'm glad your brother is back.
Did you get the 20-ryo?
20-ryo?
It was a prepayment they gave me to fight for them.
So in case I got hurt in the fight, I sent the money with Oshino.
You didn't get the money?
No.
Something's wrong. Oshino had the money.
Kenta!
Dad!
Kenta... Dad!
Kenta...
Dad...
It's my son. Dad...
It's my son.
Was he with Oshino?
Mom had a tummyache...
...so I looked for a doctor.
I couldn't find any. When I got back...
...Mom was dead. She was killed...
...by the blind man.
He killed her?
Did you see it?
And then he was searching her.
I thanked you for saving the baby.
But I haven't thanked you for killing my wife and stealing the 20-ryo!
20-ryo?
The boy saw you do it. Don't play dumb.
Murderer!
Give me the money! Where'd you put it?
I didn't kill your wife.
And I didn't steal any 20-ryo.
This is some kind of mistake.
Then, why are you on the run?
I'm not on the run.
The baby and I...
Don't draw.
Sataro, please don't draw your sword against me.
Don't do it.
Good... Let's keep it that way.
I didn't take that 20-ryo.
But I'll make it.
What?
We have to get Oya-e out of trouble.
I'll find the money.
Let's hold off our "talk" until then.
You go out of your way to do a good deed...
...and look what it gets you.
As you ordered...
...here they are.
Dumbass! Who said you could take the purse?
Count it out first.
My apologies.
I've heard a lot about you. Glad to be of service.
1-ryo.
What's the matter? Not enough for you?
I hear the blind man Zatoichi is a master swordsman.
You've got a crew of twenty or thirty pussies. I wonder if that's enough.
Say that again!
Take that back!
I guess they're deaf, too. Take that back!
You've got a crew of twenty or thirty pussies. I wonder if that's enough.
I'm worth 50 men, so I'm worth 50-ryo.
Oh well.
Give him fifty.
So I turned the guy in for a reward, what's wrong with that?
Since when have you become such a lowlife?
"Lowlife?"
Dad, you're the one who's screwy.
You're a constable, and you're letting the guy go.
As I said...
It's my job to protect people.
Skells, Zatoichi, whoever... if they break the law, I'll bust them.
But that masseur didn't do anything wrong at the inn.
The festival's happening, thanks to him.
Why should I arrest him?
I may be a useless constable...
...but I have my own way of doing things.
I've staked my life on what I believed was right.
That's how to be a man.
"A man?"
Man or woman, what good are you if you're dead?
Maybe this is how you do things.
But what about me? If they kill you, I couldn't take it!
I'm not like you!
I can't live my life like you do!
Ready?
I've come to play.
I request a dice-change.
All right, all set.
Ready?
Even.
Even!
Odd! Odd!
Even! Odd! Odd!
Even!
Odd!
Any more bets? Odd!
Any more bets?
Right, lets see!
Decision! Right, lets see!
Odd and Odd makes Even!
Even! I knew it! How lucky! Thank you!
Decision!
Odd!
Can't be.
Thank you. Thank you. Can't be.
Thank you. Thank you.
Let's go again.
No use, lady. I can't see a thing.
Odd!
Decision!
Hold it. Decision!
The basket's making a different sound.
Let's stick with the old dice.
Speak up.
Or I'll help you get them out.
You must be very hungry.
Snacking on dice...
What do you want?
Your skills are impressive.
You're the best swordsman I've ever met.
Nah. All I do is go apeshit.
To cross swords with the world's greatest swordsmen...
That's what I live for.
I humbly request the honor of a duel.
You gotta be kidding.
I don't know how much they paid you, but...
...killing me won't put a feather in your cap.
Please spare me.
Maybe not right now.
But some day we'll duel. It's a promise.
Lemme go, jerk!
Why did you lie and say I killed your mother?
It's not a lie. I saw you.
She was all bloody.
That happens when babies are born!
You're a murderer!
Hey, kid...
You got some nerve, buddy.
Get him!
Murderer! Murderer!
You'll see what we do to the likes of you.
Take him to the boss!
Pesky sonofabitch!
Get up!
Get moving!
Treat him good.
Zatoichi, trapped like a dog or cat.
What'd you say, blind guy?
I can't hear you.
Hey, let's hear you bark or meow!
Do it!
Over here, over here.
This way.
Let him have another.
Get up.
Hey, Ichi.
Crawl between my legs.
Good one.
Do it. Hurry up.
You picked a bad time to be blind.
Too bad.
What's the matter, pooped out already?
Water...
Excuse me...
Can you get me a cup of water? I'd really appreciate it.
He asks for water.
Here.
Guess you've had enough.
But be patient, blind man. We'll take you to the magistrate's office tomorrow.
They'll give us a bundle for you. Hang in there until then.
Got him at last.
I want a drink.
Excuse me.
What?
Um, it's itchy. What?
The top of my nose.
You mind scratching it for me?
All right, put your nose forward.
Where's Zatoichi?
I said I don't know.
You're coming with us. I said I don't know.
You're coming with us.
I really don't know.
Shut up! I really don't know.
Excuse me. Please let me in.
Who is it?
What happened to you?
I'm not used to the roads here; I took a spill.
Well, come in, anyway.
Are you all right?
I'm fine.
Got something here...
Constable, I've got something I want you to see.
Just a second.
This here.
Please take a good look at this.
What is it?
It's about me.
And what do you expect me to do with this?
Your job is to arrest wanted men.
I'm turning myself in.
Zatoichi is wanted, true.
But warrants are issued by the magistrate.
In over thirty years of enforcing the law...
...I've never seen, nor heard...
...of a criminal who turned himself in.
There's always a first time.
Even if you say that you're a criminal...
...I can't just arrest you without evidence.
Please don't turn me down.
I'm the wanted Zatoichi. Please arrest me.
You can't see, right?
Right.
You don't look at all like the drawing.
It doesn't look like me?
The guy on the poster is much better looking.
Why do you insist that you are a wanted man?
I need the money, bad.
Money?
Doesn't it say that the informant gets a 20-ryo reward?
So I'm here to inform against myself.
"Against yourself," huh?
Why do you want the money?
I have to pay this money to Tetsugoro...
...or else Oya-e will be forced to become a prostitute.
The money's due today.
So you want to save her...
...even at the cost of your own life.
When I think of my own life and Oya-e's life...
...I can't compare them.
I'll gladly trade my life for hers.
Here's 20-ryo. Take it.
So...
...you're fronting me the money...
...before you take me in?
I figured that when I died...
...Seiji could have this money.
But I'm impressed by your benevolence.
Take it without hesitation.
In all my travels, to many places...
...I have never met anyone like you.
I will accept it gratefully.
Ichi... come on.
You'd better hurry up.
A constable protecting a wanted man. What a laugh.
What do you want?
If you won't arrest Zatoichi, I will.
You'd better resign.
Let's see what it says here... Age, about thirty-five, his appearance is stocky...
Looking for trouble?
Welcome back.
Blood stains?
That old constable...
...still had a lot of blood in him.
Boss. Sataro's here.
Hear that? Your brother's here.
I'll change my clothes. Get them ready.
Yes sir.
Get the loan documents.
As promised, Oya-e can go home.
So where's my money?
Please, I'll pay the money no matter what.
But please, let my sister Oya-e go home.
I implore you.
Don't mess with me!
What's up?
You're not as stupid as you look.
So you love her that much, huh?
All right, then.
I'm impressed.
I'll let you slide.
You mean you'll give her back?
Thank you. I'll never forget your kindness, as long as I live.
Thank you.
Don't worry about it.
By the way...
I just did you a favor, didn't I?
I want you to do me a favor in return.
What can I do for you?
It's no big deal.
I just need you to whack a blind man.
A blind man?
Zatoichi. A worthwhile target, wouldn't you say?
No?
Guess that's a no, huh?
You don't pay up, but you get to keep your sister.
I ask of you a favor in return, and you refuse.
I'd say you're taking advantage of me.
It's pitch dark in here.
Hey Dad. You asleep already?
That's the first time you've ever slapped me.
I know you care about me.
Get up.
I brought you your favorite delicacy.
Come on, Dad. Wake up.
Dad, come on.
Dad! Dad!
Dad...
Who would do such a terrible thing?
Dad!
Zatoichi!
Hey, Sataro.
You think you can do this guy by yourself?
He's coming!
Son of a bitch!
Daddy!
Kenta...
Daddy! Daddy!
Kenta... Get that letter.
It's Mommy's.
Ichi didn't do it.
You're lovely.
We couldn't just let you go, could we?
That would be a waste.
Fool!
Who dares to come in here without permission?
Boss. Here's the 20-ryo, as promised.
You went to a lot of trouble to get it.
Boss, before you take the money, I have a little score to settle.
Call for your minions.
You want to lose this arm?
S... Somebody!
S... S... Somebody come here!
Come out, son.
Hey, kid... If the man you saw before is here, show him the handkerchief.
It's not...
Ichi! Constable Tobei is dead!
You even killed Constable Tobei...
Tetsugoro...
You killed Tobei and Sataro.
First, you'll cough up 200-ryo to their sons for funeral expenses.
200-ryo?!
It's either that, or use it to pay for your own funeral.
What are you waiting for? Bring it here.
Now hand over the loan documents.
Is this it?
Out of the way! I'll kill him!
Stop what you're doing, it's futile...
Useless, no matter how hard you try...
Don't let him get away! Useless, no matter how hard you try...
It's hopeless...
You dirty rat, you killed my father! It's hopeless...
Attack if you must, but my sword will fly with rage.
I'll avenge my father! Attack if you must, but my sword will fly with rage.
Stay out of this.
What are you doing?
He killed my father!
Ichi didn't kill Tobei! Tetsugoro did! He killed my father!
I know! It's true!
It's the truth...
Auntie.
Go.
Go on, go get him.
Hurry up!
All right...
Wait! Wait!
Zatoichi! I will avenge the death of my father!
Y... You're making a mistake!
Back off! I'm placing Zatoichi under arrest!
H... Hold it!
There's no time, get out of here!
Go through this forest and to the pass.
You're letting me go?
My dad always said...
"It's the job of the law to protect people."
Hurry up!
Ichi...
I've been all alone since I was born. But unlike me...
...you have a kind guardian in Oya-e.
Oya-e. Please celebrate this baby's birthday every year.
Ichi...
Son...
When you grow up, become a man of good conscience...
...with nothing to hide under the heavens.
The wind blows...
... the floating clouds.
The fugitive traveler goes on his way...
Wherever he wills to go, wherever his feet will take him...
Where does he go? Only his walking stick knows...
The End
