Older, wiser but still a wandering loner, the blind, peace-loving masseur Ichi seeks a peaceful life in a rural village. When he's caught in the middle of a power struggle between two rival Yakuza clans, his reputation as a deadly defender of the innocent is put to the ultimate test in a series of sword-slashing showdowns.

An unknown handsome man showers a woman with red roses. She is smitten and becomes a willing participant in his rather unusual hobby of subjecting women to chains, manacles, cages, piercings, waxing and various sexual humiliations.
