Fifth film in the Lone Wolf and Cub series. 5 warriors challenge Ogami to duels. Each has 1/5th of Ogami's assassin fee and 1/5 of the information he needs to complete his assassination. His mission is to kill a mad Daimyo before he destroys his clan! (Criterion)

It seemed just slightly weaker to me than the previous installments, mainly because I really enjoyed the first half, but the second half didn't entertain me as much. The scene with the "cub" getting beaten up is really very powerful and intense. It has exactly the right impact on the viewer that it should have. You simply won’t forget it.
