I'd like "Ichi-san" to be translated as "Ichi-san", and not "master Ichi"

I'd like "sensei someSurName", when referring to a samurai, be translated as "master someSurName" and not as "firstName"

I'd like Yakusa to remain Yakusa.

"Oyabun" as "boss" is not that bad, but could also remain Oyabun.

(insert thousands of other examples)

And last, but not least, I want a translation, not an adaptation. People who watch these kind of movies are not as dumb as the ones who go to (insert some popular movie here).

If Adventures of Zatoichi sounds like a generic title this far into the series, it is nonetheless apt. It might also have been called Zatoichi's Greatest Hits. Still, I'm impressed that all the little plots do tie into each other. Ichi must help a girl who's brother has been exiled, another who's father has disappeared, the over-taxed town folk, an old drunk who reminds him of his father (an element of his past haunting him is definitely a Zatoichi trope), a dueling samurai who wants to test himself against him, and it culminates in a big fight against a corrupt yakuza boss. And all Ichi wanted to do was attend New Year's celebrations. Well, a lot of people won't live to see the New Year. It's not the most memorable of the series, but it creates a lot of easily identifiable characters (including the two kids, the samurai who DOESN'T want to fight - wish they'd actually done something with him - etc.) and I'm all for Miwa Takada again, even in a different role, as she's always a touching presence on screen. It's not a bad looking picture either, even if it isn't as flashy as others.

One of the best films in the franchise. If our hero is blind, it is we who can't see his blade. Tchi!
