Whipmaster: Ballad of Murder (1970).
Ryotatsu (Bunta Sugawara), the blind whip-wielding nemesis of Shinkai, hero of the Wicked Priest film series, gets his own solo film outing this time.
Ryotatsu comes upon a blind boy, Rintaro, who is abandoned at a temple by his mother. Feeling sympathy for the boy, Ryotatsu takes Rintaro on the road to search for the mother. During this time, Ryotatsu teaches Rintaro how to live and function with his blindness.
They meet assorted unsavory types during their travels, including yakuza, corrupt army officials, and other no-goodniks, all with the Satsuma Rebellion of 1877 in the background. There's plenty of blood and action when Ryotatsu gets riles up, as is to be expected from any film in this series.
Ryotatsu is portrayed in a more sympathetic and heroic light as opposed to how he normally appears in Shinkai's adventures. Bunta Sugawara does his usual superb job in the role, especially as he's given so much more to do this time around.
Whipmaster was released between Wicked Priest 4: The Killer Priest Comes Back (1970) and Wicked Priest 5: Breaking the Commandments (1971). And where is Shinkai during all of this? I suppose he's on vacation, but Shinkai actor Tomisaburo Wakayama was not. He plays a doctor who may be able to cure Rintaro's blindness. It's a minor role, but Wakayama-san still manages to snag a prominent spot on the poster (that's him in the Santa Claus wig and beard).

I just saw clips of Samurai Jack dubbed in Japanese out of curiousity and it's interesting!!
Example:
[background music]
youtube
I liked Aku's English voice more (more humour and theatrics in Mako's voice acting, his Japanese seiyuu Sugawara Bunta who is also a film actor not only seiyuu--he's most known for yakuza movies, like Battles Without Honour and Humanity--is very dramatic, but seems less comedic--I think he gets better, though, because his voice here is VERY good, but in the intro/opening it sounded a bit flat, so maybe his seiyuu changed the way he voiced him over time to be more lively?), but Jack's Japanese voice Ukaji Takashi (who notably acted in Kamen Rider, also, his mother is of Ainu descent ^^) is veeery good! I really like the Japanese both use, Aku sounds very egotistical and self-absorbed, Jack sounds very old-fashioned and fitting for a samurai character! ^^
When I looked at the Japanese comments, people were praising Sugawara Bunta's voice acting the most, but also saw one praising the casting choices for both Sugawara Bunta and Ukaji Takashi as Aku and Jack respectively, describing it as shibui. Refined, understated, etc. So, I guess those voices held more appeal to Japanese viewers for their seriousness, while American cartoons (especially for younger viewers) favoured a more tongue-in-cheek/comedic delivery!

A very big thank you to @nekonoir01 for reminding me about Bunta Sugawara’s birthday which I totally missed last week! There is no lame excuse for missing Bunta’s birthday! Bunta was a legend and his films always get me through tough times! Happy belated birthday in the afterlife to the eternally great Bunta Sugawara!

Они все-таки пейринг!
Орю прекрасна, однако с мужиками ей не везет, даже быстрого секса не получилось.
Однако во 2 фильме случился мужественный Бунта Сугавара в виде плохого самурая, однако, кимоно ему идет почти также хорошо, как пиджаки и европейские костюмы.
Такакура мне не нравится на внешность и не очень понравились фильмы, особенно пафосный “Якудза” с сильно сдавшим Робертом Митчемом и “Зимний цветок”, но Кодзи Цурута хоть и похож на него, все-таки немного другой.

Poster for Wicked Priest 4: The Killer Priest Comes Back (1970).
Shinkai (Tomisaburo Wakayama), the wandering wicked priest (he’s actually naughty, not wicked) of the title, is back in action. This time he takes on the cause of poor and exploited coal miners.
Ryotatsu (Bunta Sugawara), the blind whipmaster, shows up near the end of the film like the proverbial bad penny, looking for vengeance as usual. The inevitable clash between the two former friends takes on new level of intensity, as Shinkai has also been (temporarily) blinded.
Never has Wakayama-san resembled his brother, Shintaro Katsu, as much as he does here, mimicking his brother’s Zatoichi moves in the battle of the blind versus the blind. This is one of the most vicious duels between Shinkai and Ryotatsu in the entire series, and well worth the price of admission.
