AKA Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart at the River Styx. Kozure Ôkami: Sanzu no kawa no ubaguruma.
"No matter where you go there is no way you can escape from us."
Ogami Itto (Tomisaburo Wakayama) and his son Daigoro (Akihiro Tomikawa) continue their journey across Japan seeking justice, and trying to remain one step ahead of the evil Yagyu clan. This time the clan send a gang of female ninja to eliminate them and Itto battles the three Hidari brothers, otherwise known as the Masters of Death.
Part two of the series, (some of which made it into Shogun Assassin), sees yet more brain splitting action from the very start. A stunning sequel to Swords of Vengeance, shot through with Itto's perpetual unease and subsequent weariness at having to be perminently on his guard. And with Daigoro coming into his own, revealing his personality and resourcefulness whilst helping his father.
