The Samurai (1962)
Secret Cave (5x13)
:
Kotarō appears at the top of the steps and says he let Shintarō have the mirrors so he would lead them to the treasure. Shintarō tells him that this temple has nothing to do with the treasure as he had guessed Kotarō's purpose. There is a fight, Shintarō runs into the temple and Tashirō emerges having killed the Fūma within. Shintarō sends Tonbei and Tashirō to Enoshima to look for the hidden temple. With the aid of two children, they find a cave with statues and carvings. Tonbei tells Tashirō to guard it while he fetches Shintarō. Tashiro replies, "Fūma are the wind. No one can see them when they are moving" and Tonbei recognises the voice as that of Kotarō who tells him the real Tashirō was burned to death in a fire two months ago. Tonbei is put aboard the dragon ship. Tashirō takes Shintarō into the cave which is surrounded by Fūma including Kitobō and Oboro. Kotarō manages to grab the mirrors in the fight but Shintarō puts his sword to his throat and demands them back. Kotarō tosses them to him and disappears. The fight continues on the cliffs and Shintarō cuts Kotarō across the forehead. He falls into the sea. The dragon shop rescues the Fūma but blows up shortly afterwards as Tonbei had put gunpowder in it before escaping. Shintarō wonders if that is really the end of the Fūma.
