Lone Wolf and Cub: Sword of Vengeance Online Full Movie

Set in Japan during an unspecified year of the Edo period, Ogami Ittō, the disgraced former Kogi Kaishakunin (executioner) to the shōgun, wanders the countryside, pushing a baby cart with his 3-year-old son Daigoro inside. A sashimono banner hangs off his back: “Ogami: Suiouryo technique. Sword For Hire. Son For Hire.” His services are asked for in a most unexpected way, when an unstable woman seizes Daigoro from the cart and tries to breastfeed the boy. Daigoro at first hesitates, but after a stern look from his father, he proceeds to suckle the woman’s breast. The woman’s mother then apologizes for her daughter’s behavior and tries to give Ittō money, but the stoic rōnin refuses, saying his son was hungry anyway.

Plot Development in Lone Wolf and Cub: Sword of Vengeance

As he walks in the rain, he remembers another rainy day two years earlier when his wife, Asami, was slain by three former samurai, ostensibly in revenge for Ittō’s execution of their young daimyō, but Ittō soon deduces that it is really a complex plot by the “Shadow” Yagyū clan, which controls the shōgun’s spies and assassins, to frame Ittō for treason and take over the executioner’s post. He winds up cutting down a senior member of the Yagyū and his men when they show up to finish him as well.

The Journey of Ittō and Daigoro

Now a wandering assassin-for-hire, Ittō takes a job from the chamberlain of a rural clan to kill the members of a conspiracy to assassinate the chamberlain’s lord and replace him with their own preferred successor. The chamberlain plans to test Ittō, but a quick slash behind his back with his Dōtanuki sword dispatches the chamberlain’s two men. The targets are in a remote mountain village that is home to hot-spring spa pools.

As Ittō pushes the baby cart, and Daigoro observes scenes of nature, such as a dog suckling her puppy, and two children singing a song and bouncing a ball, Ittō thinks back again to the time just after his wife was killed. He gave Daigoro a choice between a toy ball or the sword. If the child chose the ball, Ittō would put him to death so he could join his mother – which he secretly hopes for. Instead, the curious child reaches for the sword – he has chosen to take the path of the rōnin with his father, which Ittō describes as living like demons at the crossroads to hell.

The Climactic Showdown

The episode takes one more trip back to the past: Refusing to accept death, Ittō forces the leader of the “Shadow” Yagyū, Retsudo, to allow him to duel the clan’s best swordsman with a promise that he and Daigoro will be permitted to become ronin if he wins. Ittō beheads the swordsman by strapping a mirror to Daigoro’s forehead, allowing him to blind his opponent with sunlight.

The Conclusion of Lone Wolf and Cub: Sword of Vengeance Online Full Movie

Eventually, Ittō reaches the hot-spring village. He finds that the conspirators have hired a band of ronin who have taken over the town and are raping, looting, and pillaging. As his targets have not yet arrived, Ittō is forced to give up his sword and join several other travelers who have been taken hostage. When Ittō finally reveals his true identity to the ronin after they meet with the conspirators, he pulls out various edged weapons hidden in the baby cart, including a naginata and a throwing dagger, and quickly slaughters the ronin in a gruesome, ruthless manner.

Ittō leaves the village, with the prostitute having developed feelings for him and his son, trying to follow. Ittō stops her and quietly pushes the cart as he and Daigoro set off to find their next job.
