YMMV / Zatoichi (2003)

• Anti-Climax Boss: Justified in that the kind of Single-Stroke Battle depicted in the final duel often happened in real life between any two skilled kenjutsu practitioners (and here happens specifically due to a plot point - the grip style), but the fact that Hattori goes down without proving to be a menace for Ichi can be somewhat jarring for Western action fans.
