Takeshi Hamada

Zatoichi is forced to kill a young man who owes a debt to a yakuza boss. Moments later, his sister Osode arrives with the money she earned (prostituting herself) to pay his debts. The bosses true motives are revealed and he attempts to steal Osode even though the debt is paid. Zatoichi realizes his grievous error and protects the girl from the gang. Osode and Zatoichi are caught in a dilemma as she must rely on her brother's killer for protection and Zatoichi wrestles with the injustice he has caused.

Orphan Nello and his poor, great, quiet beast Patrasche, arrive at the end of Ouida's classic tale "A Dog of Flanders", and, as written, die. But, instead of joining the angels, as the book typically goes, the two unfortunate souls have decided to get postmortem revenge for their suffering, and lead a hellish front dedicated to destroying the world. It's now up to Bakabon, his Papa, and the rest of the wacky characters of Fujio Akatsuka's "Tensai Bakabon" to stop them and their mysterious benefactor, while making some new friends along the way.
