The third part of the "Lone Wolf and Cub" film series and the last one directed by Kenji Mizumi.
Ogami Itto (played by Tomisaburo Wakayama), a former revered Shogunate's executioner, is now making a living for himself and his son by taking assassination jobs.
He travels constantly, carrying his little son Daigoro (Akihiro Tomikawa) in a baby cart, looking for employment.
In this film, father and son face a great number of enemies. On top of that, the assassination job they took brings them against a whole army.
- This movie, as the first two of the series is a must see.
Highlinghts:
- The meeting with Kanbei, a former samurai who in the face of Itto finds an opponent he respects

Why should you see it:

- Because it is visually appealing from the begining untill the end
- Because you've missed the old type heroes
- For the little cute bastard
- Because at this moment the baby cart is just one step away from batmobile
- Epic Battle
- To find out what "Buri Buri" is
