The baby cart transforms into a boat in a flash, with merciless assassins striking from the river. And even while Daigoro is out taking a dump, ruthless killers come after him! The showdown with the master gunman who wields two pistols is a joint operation with Daigoro that's frankly way too underhanded — just one of the new sides shown in this third installment. The scale has grown to the point where it's practically all-out war. Dynamite blasting away, gimmick-blade slicing, and showers of blood! But above all, this film belongs to Go Kato! Defeated in a samurai duel and beheaded, Kato's severed head rolls across the ground, and the way his field of vision gradually fades to pure white is simply too beautiful. What is the true way of the samurai? This cannot be played on standard Japanese DVD players, but can be viewed on a computer, etc. A Japanese edition is also available, but this overseas edition is more reasonably priced. Directed by Kenji Misumi, released September 1972, 89 minutes. A Katsu Production, of course. (Original Japanese text by COMPUMA)
