Bruh kyojiro died that unceremoniously? Thought he was a legendary swordsman lol

@@blank7536 He didn't died from a blow to the head like in the movie. Kojiro died because Musashi broke his ribs and in the process punctured his lung and ultimately died for that cause a few hours later. The late boat arrival was true, Musashi did it in purpose (arriving to the duel 3 hours later) to enrage Kojiro and get into his skin. In the movie Musashi did four strategic moves to gain the upper hand: 1) arrived later to the duel to stress Kojiro (which was true); 2) never abandoned the edge of the water to avoid presenting his back to Kojiro, the Shoguns, and the Spectators, also to cover his retreat back to the boat as he was in foreign territory; 3) used a heavy wooden stick instead of a sword to hit Kojiro without cutting him; and 4) used the late afternoon Sunset to blind Kojiro who couldn't see the final blow coming.

More legend than truth. The book of 5 rings is ripe with absurdity and contradiction. The history and the book are ok if taken with honesty in mind.

@@pixsilvb9638 why he didn't want to cut him ?

@@raptorsensei8893 Don't know why (?) Is something to do with the movie which is like a sequel of japanese movies. I haven't followed them. Don't know what was the plot there. But the decision to use a stick in his duel with Kojiro it has to do with a plot line in those movie sequels. In them, Musashi and Kojiro met for the first time coming down the temple's stairs and later ended up facing each other in three duels. The first two were a draw. Ended in stalemate. The third one portrayed the real (and only) duel the two historical figures had in real life. So, the use of the stick to kill Kojiro is something created by the movie producers, not something that really happened.

10% of running for nothing

🤣🤣🤣

U forgot the 20% sprint!

@Revan Drag That is literally how most sword duels ended everywhere in the world since the average reaction time for us is 0.25 seconds which the average sword swing is faster than. There are a lot of factors that come into play that decides who wins a sword fight such as your grip stance/ positioning, your speed relative to your sword’s balance and weight, psychological warfare, skill and technique, experience and high intuitive skills. Humans have limits and by studying possible outcomes we try to get an upper hand in these confrontations.

The real samurai duel not more then a minute, few second after they drawn the katana, one of them will die ....

Rod Parsons if I remember right it was just as you said according to the 5 rings book.

What I read in "Musashi" depicts the running scene along the water line. Minus the theatrics I guess.

If I remember correctly, that's how the fight is said to have gone down. He was apparently already badly injured before the fight, so he couldn't afford to waste any time. He apparently got off the boat, beat Kojiro on the head, and immediately ran back to the boat and told the ferryman to kick that shit in reverse double time.

he was in a hurry back then

I want to see that

Keith Ang - or ... as musashi ran to his right ... the other guy sprinted to his left ... ba ha ha ha

In the book it was set up so Musashi had the disadvantage on the beach, he had to position himself higher up, that is why the Kojiro covered his move, else lose that advantage. Musashi then moves to give himself the advantage of having the sun behind him, thus blinding Kojiro. Musashi then has to escape having killed Kojio since his supporters were planning to kill him no matter what. The book is a very good read, in fact I read it twice.

Keith Ang, I like how your imagination works. Lol

The running down the beach is a simple ploy to flank the opponent.

And one of them begin to drowning, scream for help. Can't swim :D

Thing is he prob didn't even get to use said technique

@@charless3108 Good point. Though it may have been used when Musashi's head band was cut off. Thank you for your comment.

@@robertschlesinger1342 aye. Just thought it was a bit anticlimactic when I read that he was defeated after missing 1 strike

​@@charless3108 it's how actual duels work, without armor you're dine after one sword blow or gunshot.

thanks

Musashi had a post nut clarity

But he's the Savior of France

Z-Byte the story has a manga based off it as well.. for the most part it is accurate.. I would highly recommend it as it is one of the greatest to have ever been written, the manga is named "Vagabond"

Because Mushashi is a real life anime character

@@jeremydaly8293 kojiro lost, even though he was an exceptional swordsman, why does japan still like him though?

@@Abdirahman_Mohamed Because he's a good swordsman

Khanh Nguyen fair enough

Lmao

Nope, musashi activate his 3rd skill just in time lol

Imagined that guy who u said got beaten by a stick beat Poseidon

not only musashi equally also had a lifetime of fighting experience, he used a lot of tricks to give him the edge in the fight. also he was taller than most japanese and a lot stronger - getting clubbed in the head by a hulk of a man isnt something that most people would be able to witstand anyways

@@aakashwaiba6968 I didn’t understand your comment until I saw the anime haha

Just to get beaten by the best, what is higher than this?

musashi was a girl with a dual sword...

+Xhun Zei Who beat the shit out of people with wooden swords and fought 60 duels undefeated. Your an ant compared to him.

Carl John musashi is a grirl

The Warring States Period is in Chinese history. Musashi was Japanese, although he did, indeed, live well after the Warring States Period in China.

yegenek I think you got it backwards, it's Bruce Lee was similar to musashi. In fact, no one could compare to warriors in ancient times, and an exceptional one like musashi is beyond them all. Remember, MMA is a sport , a sport with rules. Musashi fought death matches back then , they were all killers back then. To be a samurai, they were prepared to kill and die. They were not sportsman, they were murderers who fought for honor. Money meant little to them, honor was the most sacred thing for them. If they have seen MMA today, they would call it a disgrace. A battlefield should be sacred that bridges life and death, to turn it into an entertainment and for profit is a disgrace to them. In a way, I do agree with them. If you train to be a martial artist, you must be prepared to kill , not compete, but to kill. To train in the martial way, you are walking the path of a murderer. But that does not mean you are destined to kill people. And that is why , you must choose to walk the path of the katsujinken (the life giving sword) or the path of the satsujinken(the death giving sword) Above them all, musashi rose above a samurai, he chose the path of katsujinken in his later years and became a sword saint.

He continued to fight Musashi even after his death

i knew i would find this comment here 😂

Sasaki was like: Damn ocean if it weren't for you he wouldn't have been late

Divine sashimi was served that day

i am a tennis player but ive learned that through all things that have withstood the test of time there is critical information to be learned. could you be slightly more specific as to what exactly musashi outlines that is "universal" if that makes sense. thank you

@@kingkudzu352 Sure. Makes perfect sense. When Musashi writes about strategy and about his 2 sword Way, one can substitute their own discipline for those and the concepts are, to borrow your phrase, universal. Musashi writes, several times and in a variety of ways, "You must research this." Or, "You must study this idea thoroughly." He repeats the theme over and over that practice and dedicated focus on training is key. Deep understanding, not just motion is key. Knowing the "why" if things as much as the "how" of them. Obviously Musashi was much cleverer and poetic than I am but that is how I meant the original post. I have a practical example. A friend of mine is a superb deck hockey player. He is not particularly large or fast. He is not super fit. He is not overly athletic. But he is a superior player because he has a superior grasp of the game. He has an intuition for how the game could unfold from any given point, knows the different variables and prepares for the most likely and he is right way more than he is wrong. So he is usually in the right position to stop the opponent or to score, himself. He has done his research well.

@@InformationIsTheEdge wow that is exactly what i was asking for, thank you. im trying to bridge the gaps between the things i excel at most to simplify things

@@kingkudzu352 Much success to you in your efforts! Study diligently!

FGO meme

Same Kinda weird how musashi isn't considered the hero here

Same here lol

Here after reading Vagabond not Record of Ragnarok.

@@lovepoem7753 vagabond chapt for this duel hasnt came yet but im quite hyped up for that too

@@ZodieRoadie Since Vagabond is the Best Samurai Manga of all time. I really want Takehiko Inoue continue and finished Vagabond. Just give us few chapters. We know that Musashi vs Kojiro will gonna clash. But i think it will not gonna continue. Since the last update of Vagabond was since 2015. Same as Real. But Inoue continue Real on 2019. And Vagabond won't. But still hope that Inoue finished these two manga's. If he won't then Slam Dunk is his only one completed manga. If you like Samurai manga's. There are so many Masterpiece Samurai manga's like Lone Wolf and Cub, Blade of the Immortal, Shigurui, Ruruoni Kenshin.

Just telling you the chain kind of weapon is called kusarigama

I love that book and I remember that whole scene exactly. He carves his Bokken out of one of the boat oars while another man rows him to the island. He decided that the wooden sword would be lighter than his usual Katana and that would give him the edge over Kojiro. A fun fact is that he is reported to have never used a steel sword again because the wooden Bokken worked well enough and gave him the edge because of increased agility. The book is called Musashi if anyone reading cares to check it out, I couldn't recommend it more highly

for those interested there's also the loosely adapted manga series Vagabond, and a few books written by the historical figures themselves such as the Book of Five Rings by Musashi, The Unfettered Mind Takuan, and The Life Giving Sword Yagyu Munenori .

are you referring to Shishido Baiken?

I understood he was late so that the Sun would be directly overhead and not behind Kojiro.

Vagabond is beautiful and much more différent than this ^^

@@debutant1277 jokes, ever heard of them?

@Bobby Hill the drawing of the manga elevates the story

@Bobby Hill it doesnt correlate directly but the visual just makes me enjoy the story more

@Bobby Hill are you slow ?

Not quite. the Samurais and Ronins of the early Edo periods are veterans of countless battles, and just like modern veterans, many of them had developed psychological issues during their long military careers such as addictions to the rush of mortal combat. In addition, these people, even though were officially revered as accomplished warriors, were otherwise feared and shunned in real life like Witchers from Witcher series by normal people including the peace time employed samurais who never fought in Sengoku Jidai. Specifically, people of Edo period disapproved the perceived anti-social behaviors such as their reckless dueling and general bloodthirstiness of the wartime veterans. On the top of that, the advent of matchlocks and cannons favors mass deployed mildly trained conscripts with spears, pikes, guns, and cannons (Ashigaru) over highly trained elite soldiers (Samurais). As the pike-shot warfare rapidly phasing out the usefulness of close quarter fighting with highly trained elite soldiers as a valid battlefield strategy, the employability of traditional samurais suffered a serious collapse which led to the phenomenon of poor unemployed samurais becoming Outlaws (Ronins) roaming the lands of Japan as bunch of homeless part time mercenaries and bandits causing a lot of social instability. Indeed, the usefulness of sword fighting at this time was mostly centered around duels and small scale personal combats such as street fighting, body-guarding, and Wild West style Lawmen vs Outlaws. As the number of talented martial artists start to die off due to the passage of time, the living members of this shunned and dwindling community start to develop platonic life long partnerships with each other. They still engage in duels with each other for joy and fun, but the death of a dueling companion can cause extreme sorrow and a sense of abandonment to the victor. In this specific scenario, Musashi and Kojiro admire each other's martial skills and derive extreme pleasure in fighting each other. Remember Kojiro said in the video that "he will never again use the sword that ended Musashi." Musashi was extremely sad and indeed felt guilt of killing Kojiro in the duel. Specifically, at this point of time, Musashi's martial prowess has surpassed most of the known warriors of his time and Kojiro was one of the few who can still give him a challenge and make him feel the the rush of combat. Add on top that Musashi and Kojiro had one of those soldierly platonic relationship going on, the death of Kojiro was a devastating emotional moment for Musashi because he just killed his best friend who is probably irreplaceable.

I call bull

Pretty sure that's a Bokuto...

Standard blunt weapons' characteristic

"Bokken" would be more accurate for the weapon Musashi is using here. "Kanabo" and "Tetsubo" were the spiked clubs that was believed to be used by Oni (Demons) because of their huge size.

Can you tell me the series name?

I don't know about that it's not too bad.

It's not always easy getting good martial artists that can also act.

But that’s how it went down

You can say that about any historical based series.

Would be nice if you'd provide a picture of that actor. Or at least post a time code in this video.

Kojiro didn't die. in the novel it's related that ppl who resented Musashi mocked him for not even delivering the coup de grace, among other things.

@@LuckySOB100 'Cause he didn't need to. Let them live with their shame.

try . on new search

Yes

The samurai trilogy was excellent. My favorite was the duel at ichijoji temple

Yes I've seen it but I didn't recognize Mifune. I have to check it out.

Well, the island looks nothing like Ganryu.

@@silvazoldyck366 yeah if the whole scene was inaccurate then why bother having the island correct.

Hey dad nice to see ya

**Invincibility skill**

Yea musashi even showed up late to troll kojiro

Your correct

That's done on purpose.

Obviously paddle boy

Sasaki use nodachi fyi

that's not a paddle, that's a Bokken, basically a wooden sword used for training purposes

That's not a katana it's a nodachi

So,did you guys get the joke?

MLB has a SAMURAI!! Throws rt, swings left, and is a true WARRIOR!! S O Angel!!

Da Sword Of Gork thats not proven, it was one of the version of the story but then again looking at it logically you wouldnt have the strength or at least your brain must have some trauma from the impact of the boken dont cha think? I'd say this is more accurate depiction of it

Da Sword Of Gork yeah i read bout it where kojiro swing his sword at musashi leg where he jumped off n finished kojiro with final blow.

They show it But most people dont know how this skill looked like because this skill die with him

pretty much most of the human were short like that not just Japanese, people don’t get to eat a lot back to the day.

I read somwhere that after falling kojiro tried to cut his leg, then he jumped and broke a rib that punctured a lung

it wasnt even a bokken.... it was a boat oar lol

He has to position him self in front of the sun to blind Kojiro 🤦🏻‍♂️

Or maybe that was exactly his plan?

Actual footage (you can tell it's authentic because of the aerial jumps and the almost lip synced sub titles). A very rare historical artifact 😉

He didn't deliver a coup de grace and just ran away basically after he killed kojiro...

​@Hemakesyoulaughwe are not talking about religion here

Gracias capitán Obviedad

Brandeau GSD LOL jubei wins, onimusha life

he is handsome ))

The actual kojiro was said to be handsome

He was described as la ladykiller of sort. Which makes more contrast with Musashi, with is often portrayed as a vagrant.

It was a nodachi not katana.
