Synopsis
The Tale of Zatoichi Continues (続・座頭市物語, 1962) is a Japanese samurai drama you can watch online on iFILM. The blind masseur and master swordsman Zatoichi returns to the village where, a year earlier, he cut down an opponent he deeply respected — and walks straight into someone else's feud.
This is the second entry in the long-running Zatoichi saga, with Shintaro Katsu making the wandering, sword-caned drifter his signature role. A local boss hires him ahead of a clan clash, but the real story sits closer to the bone: an old love resurfaces, and a swordsman with ties to Zatoichi's past wants a reckoning. Kazuo Mori directs, and Tomisaburo Wakayama appears among the cast.
Running a lean 72 minutes in black and white from Daiei studio, the film trades big battles for guilt, regret and a handful of fast, brutal duels. A solid place to meet the chanbara genre through a small but pivotal chapter. Stream The Tale of Zatoichi Continues (1962) online on iFILM.
