This episode in the manga-derived series looks like it's a composite of several plotlines of the original illustrated series. Tomisaburô Wakayama gets separated from toddler Akihiro Tomikawa, and we get to see the adventures of Cub as Lone Wolf trundles along with the James Bond baby cart. Then it's on to the main plot, in which Michi Azuma is looking for revenge against a local lord.This leads into the final bloody conflict with the evil Yagyu clan.
This one doesn't have the sharp look of the previous episode. It looks more like standard movie technique. I'm fairly sure fans of the series didn't care, so long as there was plenty of fake blood, fake body parts, and ninjas. There are those.
