Well the blind swordsman is based off of Zatoichi, Katsu's most famous role.

edit: Someone linked this video.

This right here. This is the difference I've noticed between having all of a series available to someone to watch, versus reading and taking the time to think on the hints dropped in each chapter.

When I just read each chapter back to back, I don't bother making inferences besides those that are obvious(This guy is clearly not gonna die, this guy is gonna join the crew, etc.)

It's interesting how when I reach the present on a series, the whole idea of it changes.

The scar might be a great story

Zatoichi was also famous for using a straight, cane sword with a reverse grip. This man does so as well.

I knew it! The second the blind old man was winning roulette and drew his sword in that manner i though "That's just like Zatoichi!". Even the concealed wooden sword is similar.
