Zatoichi

[Drunk Monk]

S1e5 is another solid one that manages to compress so many elements of Zatoichi lore into a tight tale under a half hour. Some themes echo the films, the intervention of the drunk gambler selling his daughter into prostitution to clear his debts, the comrade ronins forced to duel by their old samurai ethos,  Ichi hiding from another blind person by just being still when they pass, classic slice & dice fights ending in stillness until all the villains fall and Ichi sheaths his sword (called ‘noto’ which I might default to later - Katsu has beautiful noto skills). 

D00M recommended.
