Zatoichi/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Crowning Moment of Funny: Numerous moments in the Takeshi Kitano film. Appropriate, since Kitano, the director, is a comedian.
  • Foe Yay: Between Ichi and Hirate in the first film. They see each other as Worthy Opponents and there is a scene where Ichi gives Hirate a massage. One of the more positive foe-yay relationships.
  • I Am Not Shazam: The protagonist's name is Ichi. Zato refers to a historical guild for blind men. Ichi should be called Zato-no-Ichi, but this is shortened to Zatoichi.
