Japanese make good series and movies. The recent ones imitating western values are trash though.

Only KATSU can do justice to the role of ICHI. Japanese legendary actor, producer and writer. Classic blind swordsman films and tv series.

These TV episodes were some of the best! So good to see these back again!

What an honorable and good man He is!!! All his assistance and volunteering HAS ATONED for ANY ill he ever did!!! He is welcome at my fire and home ANY TIME!!! Cheers to all good people

Ichi-San was always my favorite character in film. Funny, honorable, humble, polite, lethal.

I agree, he is one of the greatest Japanese Warrior characters come out of Japan. You must watch every season and the films, because they are in the same time line. If pay attention closely he mentions places he been in the t.v. series and films.

I have all the films...his final film is beyond words

He must be one of the most popular films and t.v. characters in the world, I have never seen a bad one ever Thanks

Thank you so damn much for uploading the series. This isn't available to watch anywhere else, so I appreciate it. I like that Ichi helps others that need help and he changes their lives for the better. And he has suffered, but keeps going anyway without giving up. And the writing is amazing...interactions between the characters are so real and down to earth. And of course, his badass fast as hell katana cane sword skills are enjoyable to watch. I will be buying the blu-ray set with the 26 Zatoichi films soon.

Brilliant film, a character of the highest integrity......

Thank you so very much for these "Zatoichi: Blind Swordsman" episodes! This and the "Lone Wolf and Cub" series were our Game of Thrones while growing up in the '60s and '70s in Hawaii. Mahalo!🙂🤙 🗡️SHO!🎲🎲

Admiration and impression of our kids at Junior high school times never can be forgettable : a hero , mild and simple , always tried to save, help the weak and poor people from bad powers !

I only know about the Zatoichi series in 2024. Watched all 25 parts from 1962 to 1974. Couldn't find the TV series one, thank you very much for sharing the whole collection!

Until now 2024 I’m still Ichi watching!.

BTW. anyone else here hip to The Crimson Bat, everyone's favorite (female) Zatoichi copycat? The CB films are similar to most Zatoichi flicks, her character is also refined, honorable, focused and capable and, as Zatoichi copycats go, The Crimson Bat's not too shabby. And if memory serves, she and Zatoichi appear together in one film.

The uploader is a GOD.

That scene where kills 4 out of the 5 guys with 3 moves while digging the grave. That so badass and cool, the sound effects wer very well done there. He is a BadAss swordfighter, EXCELLENT show!!!!!!!

This is my second time thru. thank you for posting. Thanks to KZread

Yo conocí a Zatoichi a través de una película en 2003. El actor original falleció en 1997. Desconocía la existencia de esta serie de películas. Soy admirador de este legendario personaje. Saludos.

I love ronin samurai stories, I love watching samurai battles. Also so authentically Japanese, 100%. The choreography is spot on and VERY convincing. I love this show. Not very epic sound effects, sorry. Talking about sword fights, but overall I love it.

Watched Ichi a hundred times, still it makes me hungry seeing him eat!!!😆😆😆

That opening is definitely taken from the ending of Ingmar Bergman's Seventh Seal. Nice homage.

We’re the same age i’m 63 i love watching satoichi film , nice 2 c this film again

Zatoichi: "I have to see if i can help" 😂 Best line ever

I love this show. I've got every Zato movie on DVD. Shintaro Katsu is a geezer, absolute GOAT!

That was great. The actress playing Oshin, Sanae Tsuchida, also plays Hu Sanniang in The Water Margin TV series.

Su brazo único su destreza inmejorable su esgrima impecable gracias por compartir saludos desde buenos aires

I've seen the movies but never saw the series before! Thanks!

This is the first complete episode I've seen, aside from the many clips on . What a treat for a Monday morning. Thank you so much and here's hoping there are more coming!⚔

Thank you so very much for sharing these videos! I have the collector's edition dvd box set of the Zatoichi films, but I have never seen or been able to find the tv series to watch, until now. Thank you very much. どうもありがとうございます.

the best swordsman movie ive ever seen.....

I wonder if Zatochi was based on the Japanese Yakuza/ Folk Hero Shimizu Jirocho born February 14, 1820 ( valentine day) - died June 12, 1893? Love Zatochi films and T. V. Series, I watched them couple times.

I've watched all the movies before more than 10 years ago, and recently I found out it has a series. And now I'm starting to watch it hehehe

Thank you so much! I really like the Zatoichi Tales.

Bruce Lee's sword technique was spot on. but they too or film is a masterpiece of Japanese cinema.❤❤🎬👌👌

I've seen most of the original movies but never knew about this series. Binge time activated😎

Best movies ever nothing like these old movies

... Leave it as it is, Leave it as it should be, There's more than one way to love absolutely completely forever whatsoever. (Thank you for the post, always absolutely appreciated)

This music at the End, was great!! Love the series of movies !!

I was well-satisfied with the 27 Zatoichi films starring Katsu Shintaro & you go springing these gourmet 46-minute Zatoichi TV series episodes on us which I had long read about but assumed they would be silly in comparison to the feature length films. Color me oh so delightfully wrong. Katsu Shintaro and pals play so nice, on TV & in the cinema, don't you agree? Domo.

BTW, I find the opening music for the TV series pleasant in a uniquely relaxing yet energizing and whimsical way. Nice. Zatoichi possesses so many fine qualities in rare combination and represents the highest levels of capability, empathy, integrity, humor and honor. Katsu Shintaro's Zatoichi is a wonderfully well-intentioned, caring, and noble character whom I wish just once would get the woman of his dreams for more than five minutes as he is very deserving of every happiness. But without the pathos I guess it wouldn't be Zatoichi, but still. He's really the best and I would have preferred him as a kenjitsu and iaijutsu not to mention taijitsu instructor over all a majority of real-life others I've trained under. And what a friend and/or mentor or confidant he'd make. Zatoichi is so utterly cool in every way. He's the best kind of hero IMHO. Can you dig it?

Now he's one of the navy admirals in One Piece 😁..

Been watching Zatoichi seen 1970 when I lived in Yokohama this not 1962 the first season

Shintaro Katsu is the brother of the equally famous Tomisaburo Wakayama, who stared in the Lone Wolf and Cub series, and the amazing movie Shogun Assassin. So it's quite a family!

This is my favorite episode, Thank you 🌻🌻🌻🌻

36:16 The square handguard on that sword indicates a 'ninjato' sword.

"I went as far as hell, But the ruler of hell beseeched me to go back and bring you to him. So I returned" 💯

i’ve already fell in love with grail of a show and i’m only 5 mins in ❤️. i’m definitely binging

One of my favorite Japanese TV shows. Next to the Godzilla or Gojira movies.

His sword is so sharp that there is never any blood. 😊

I have a lot of Zatoichi movies on Vhs 📼 tape. All from a very old Japanese collection. I may start selling some of them. Also have a Zatoichi cane sword that has a folded Tungsten alloy blade. Looking for a new home. Thank you to the wonderful person who uploaded these.

My late little brother and I used to watch Zato all the time. He's funny, a gambler, a drinker and a brothel visitor. Best part is when his opponents did not see him draw a (bamboo) sword though they were bleeding.

I've seen all the movies with Shintaro Katsu, and even the rip off European western with with Ringo Starr, the 80's one with Rutger Hauer,... The Takeshi Kitano one of course (almost perfect, but the atrocious CGI blood ruins a lot of scenes. Even the one, Ichi, with the beautiful Haruka Ayase. I just missed the 2010 (very bad reputation, but...). But I can't find the US DVD for the series. So thanks a million fo uploading it!!!! P.S.: Shintaro Katsu was, still is and will forever be THE blind swordsman. Fabulous actor.

Bellissima serie, guardavo sempre lone wolf, mi da stesso piacere.

I love Ichi. He doesn't want to kill all these bad people, but he must. Just like me.

Thank you!! Thank you for posting this!!!

The Takeshita Kitano Zatoichi is a true classic. Legendary with a complete musical demourmant. Unreal masterpiece of pure form.

Thank you very much for making these videos available on KZread. Everything is with subtitles in Portuguese without any errors. Here in Brazil, you can't get the Zatoichi TV series. Is there any estimate on when you will make the other episodes of season 3 available? From what I saw, up to episode 5 of that season 3 is available on this playlist. Will season 4 be available? And would you get the Lone Wolf and Cub TV series and the movies too? Thank you very much !

I got the nock name 'Zato' for mastering swordsmanship when I was young.

46:58 a jump scare from the 1960s

Zatoichi es la personificación de los valores humanos...😊

Can’t believe Fujitora got a live action spinoff before we got the full God Valley’s flashback

Que buena forma de empezar un guion

To give thanks to a puppet for taking his bullet reminded me on a katholic saint named Francesco di Assis. The blind on eyes are seeing by heard ❤

I was about 11 or 12when I saw my first Zatoichi movie. I'm 72 now, have the movie collection, but don't recall seeing this one. TV series?
