Ogami Itto and Daigoro live to die on the Assassin's Road
I have to wonder what it is like for those who have not read the manga epic "Lone Wolf and Cub" by Kazuo Koike and Goseki Kojima when they watch these movie adaptations from the 1970s. Those of us who read all 142 episodes have the advantage of recognizing the various stories along the Assassin's Road that Koike works into each script. Consequently we are perfectly content to enjoy the episodic nature of these films, whereas the uninitiated might be bothered by the lack of a plot, especially if they have seen the first two films in the series and are expecting the Yagyu to be more of a presence.
