One of the most iconic moves in classic samurai cinema is this Zatoichi's flash cut. Whether you know the much loved antihero or not, this move will grab your attention if you're interested in flashy sword action.

I can not post any clips from the original movies due to the copyright policy in Japan. And as an industry professional, I strongly recommend you to either purchase or rent the movies, but I know that it's not the most realistic option for a lot of us.

Below are a couple of links to Zatoich's flash cut scene on YouTube
