In the sixth and final episode Rentaro Mikuni steals the show as Baiken Shishido, Musashi's nemesis. Mikuni is the nominal villain of the film, but he is a devoted husband and father as well. He tries to kill Musashi only to avenge the death of his brother-in-law. While Baiken (who wields a chain and sickle against Musashi's sword) is a very human character and the emotions that Mikuni displays in his performance are quite believable and engaging

The Japanese equivalent of penny dreadfuls glorifying Jesse James, A Diary of Chuji’s Travels gives a unique gloss to the tale of Chuji Kunisada, the legendary bakuto (or gambler, the precursors to modern-day yakuza). One of the two remaining segments of Ito’s original four-hour trilogy, it depicts Chuji’s attempt to save the geisha Oshina, a rebellion against the rigid social structure of Edo Japan. With socialist overtones, it’s a passionate artifact of early Japanese film.

It was originally released in three parts, all of which were long thought to be lost until portions of the second part and much of the third part were discovered and restored in 1991. Since the film had once been voted in a 1959 Kinema Junpō poll as the best Japanese film of all time, its discovery was significant. At the time of its release, Itō was the leader of a new style of samurai films that featured outlaw heroes and fast-cut sword fighting scenes.

Этот фильм, или, вернее, единственный сохранившийся ролик этого фильма о боях на мечах 1926 года, похож на финальную галлюцинирующую сцену из шекспировской трагедии. Одинокий самурай сражается с сотней других. За двенадцать минут фильма кадрирование, ритм, современность и напряжённость монтажа захватывают дух. Чередование общих планов и внезапных крупных планов с лицом самурая (необычайная выразительная подвижность актера Дэндзиро Окоти) добавляет театральности мизансцене. «Давняя обида» напоминает трагический сюрреалистический балет, раскачивающийся ритуал, разворачивающийся под неподвижностью деревьев, пьянящую хореографию, как предсмертный хрип, слышимый в синеве ночи, танец смерти, иначе говоря, танец с мечами.
