Zatoichi continues on his quest to give up his life of killing. This time he gets a helping hand when a blacksmith tells him that his sword is on it's last legs, and good for only one more kill. This inspires Zatoichi to give up his sword and work exclusively as a masseuse. Zatoichi without a sword may not sound
