La nostalgie le pousse à franchir les portes du village qui, à sa grande surprise, retentit de clameurs de bienvenue. Ce n'est pas lui la cause de cette effervescence, mais Shinbei, ancien du village, revenu pour payer les dettes des paysans ruinés. Pourtant, la générosité du riche marchand Shinbei, qui est aussi l'ami d'enfance de Zatoïchi, cache un plan crapuleux : le contrôle de l'économie locale, avec l'aide d'un clan yakuza et du gouverneur corrompu. Et Zatoïchi va avoir toutes les peines du monde à convaincre les paysans crédules des véritables intentions de leur « bienfaiteur »., 1h16
