Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The 2003 remake/Continuity Reboot of Zatoichi (known in the Anglosphere as "The Blind Swordsman Zatoichi" or Takeshi Kitano's Zatoichi), the legendary blind swordsman of Japanese folklore. Directed (and starred) by Takeshi Kitano, who uses his full trademark trippy style to tell an adventure of the blind Master Swordsman, with Gorn, humour and Japanese music galore.In a general sense the movie follows three seperate plotlines set in the same location (a unnamed village): The titular character, Ichi, a blind masseur who wanders into a crime-ridden town and ends up attracting trouble for himself, the Ronin Hattori who has to provide for his sick wife and in the process becomes an enforcer for one of the town's gangs, and two Geisha Assassins who are more than meets the eye. The three plotlines weave into one another and eventually, clash. Violently.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })It was very well received and professional critics have ranked it as one of the best of the entire 27-movie franchise. | |

Anti-Hero | |
| Zatoichi (2003) / int_beb9a361 | comment |
Anti-Hero: Ichi is a trickster at heart and a vagrant, and it's implied he has something of a psychotic streak (see the rain scene). The Geishas are assassins and thieves, but they have a horrible backstory and a noble goal in mind. | |

Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Hattori is pretty cocky with his sword-fighting skills. This contrasts with the humble Ichi. | |

Authority Equals Asskicking | |
| Zatoichi (2003) / int_e34ada78 | comment |
Authority Equals Asskicking: Subverted. The Fake Leader of Ginzo's gang shows off some impressive moves and declares himself to be very tough, but in the end, Ichi makes short work of him. | |
