I haven't seen a bad Zatoichi movie yet!

This movie has the standard lost child and yakuza; however, it also has a conflict between two forces of good. It's very frustrating for those of us who like black and white battles. It also humanizes the characters (as if Zatoichi could be more humanized).

No spoilers here. If you've enjoyed other Zatoichi's, you won't be disappointed by this one.
