I think Zatoichi is really blind

The last sentence "Even if I open my eyes, I can't see anything" is very interesting. It is a pun, which not only reflects the fact that he is blind, but also implies that people's hearts are hard to detect with the eyes. 1. In the battle against Hattori, Hattori betrayed himself with a contemptuous hum. Zatoichi guessed the opponent's future behavior through this, so he changed his way to a surprise. 2. His answer to Kuzhi Mingbo II is likely to take advantage of the trend, so that he will continue to be astonished, so that the raid will succeed; if Zatoichi says, "No, I am actually really blind" and so on, it is bound to let him The II returns to the original state and confronts Zatoichi in the style of beating the blind. According to II’s dialogue, he may be a powerful ninja, but Zatoshi has been injured in the left shoulder by Hattori before, and it is impossible for him to recover in the short term. Zatoshi may not have the upper hand during night combat and may be injured again. And letting the second king continue to mess around can greatly increase the probability of winning quickly; the righteous need not be honest with the enemy. 3. Even if you open your eyes, Zatoshi has never seen the enemy. It may expose what will be exposed, or it will be useless to look at it. The eye-opening look is very cool, as if Luohan is present, but his eyes are slightly sluggish.

I think it doesn't matter whether he is blind or not, what is important is his decisive kindness and gentlemanly demeanor. I would rather he be blind, and most of us are mind blind, taking improper things for granted and not changing them.
