I was very young when I played “Brave Fencer Musashi” back on PS1, and the sound design from that game is embedded as a core memory. Thanks for providing a cool piece on this interesting historic figure!

[@marialanagoldsworthy8670]

Same!! I’m glad someone brought this game up

[@jan-jans143]

Cool to learn about Musashi

[@Treaxvour]

Great video! I would love to hear more about musashis duels and adventures!

He was interesting because he grow old enough to realize how wrong his killings was. Not everyone has that opportunity.

The drawing of Miyamoto Musashi has an error : Typically, one is a long sword (katana), and the other is a short sword (wakizashi).

Dual wielding have been using in Siam for a long time but with katana is must be a nightmare, since it’s longer

[@Kulture_sa12]

Musashi is the strongest swordsman in history, surpassing even Zoro😢

[@teedepefanio4974]

Please... just stop playing with heroes.. you're not very good at it.. ZORRO.... His name was Zorro. No comparison. There were many Zorros.... because freedom is an idea... something feudal Japan is the opposite of... They are nothing alike... one pretended to not fight, unless he wore the mask. The other fought so often, not for anything but popularity... literally, comparing them is a slap in the face to ZORRO, by far, the better man... Wake up world

[@HungryLoki]

[@samuellopez4888]

algunas historias me parecen tan increíbles que hasta me parecen leyendas

[@emmanuelsanchez1683]

Musashi is incredible a true Japanese Legend. I even love the references of Musashi in popular media like video games. I remember playing Samurai Legend Musashi on the PS2 where Musashi could wield five sword each referencing the Book of Five Rings. The swords were of Earth, Water, Fire, Wind and Void. In BlazBlue, the characters Jubei had a special weapon a Nox Nictoris called Mucro Somnio: Musashi which was two katanas. And finally in the Fate franchise Musashi appears from another timeline where Musashi was born not as a man but a woman but still using the Niten Ichi-ryū style of two katanas. I want to see more of Musashi in this channel.

[@O-Shiro-inu]

This story was stretched a little… Actual accounts say that Musashi rushed Arima Kihei, Kihei drew his wakizashi but was thrown to the ground by Musashi and subsequently beaten over the head with a six foot Bo staff till no longer living.. (Not nearly as flashy, but very brutal)

Can't wait for Ep.2 of this series, Miyamoto Musashi was an amazing figure, and the Book of Five Rings a jewel for all time. I'm only confused about the description of this video, is that a mistake? 🤔 "The Ojáncanu is a monstrous creature from Cantabrian folklore, in northern Spain. Described as a fierce giant with a single eye, it possesses extraordinary strength and an evil nature. It lives in the mountains and forests, terrorizing villages and kidnapping people. "

[@SeeUinHistory]

Sorry, my mistake! Just corrected the description. Thanks for letting us know! ;)

[@VitorSpencer]

@@SeeUinHistory No worries at all :) Thanks for the great vid, and truly looking forward to more, I really am a big fan of Miyamoto Musashi.

How much of his success was him being a great swordsman vs him being a foot taller and likely a lot larger than everyone else in Japan lol. He likely had a lot more reach and a lot more power.

[@tedcomet3121]

Record of ragnarok

[@tn1881]

Chinese Ming Dynasty Poet Qu Dajun (1630-1696)"When Japanese move with all their might, they move like the wind. They always enter enemy territory in small numbers, and even a large number of soldiers cannot resist. Their katana usage is to defend with long katana and stab the enemy to death with short katana. They move low as if crouching and never back down. They will be treated no matter how many people there are. It is a special technique only for those of the Japanese archipelago. ” 其人率横行疾斗。飘忽如风。常以单刀陷阵。五兵莫御。其用刀也。长以度形。短以趯越。蹲以为步。退以为伐。臂以承腕。挑以藏撇。豕突蟹奔。万人辟易。真岛中之绝技也。

Acthhhhualllyyyyyy from what i know there are many different origins of Musashi Miyamoto. If people like the story of Musashi Miyamoto I recommend reading different sources on the swordsmen and his history

Meanwhile Japanese game Company "Type-Moon" made a game Fate/Grand Order created their own "Miyamoto Musashi" Genderswapped in the most serviceable way unlike Western DEI Entertainment.

[@blueeyed5074]

Nah. The greatest swordsman ever is Yasuke.

[@Luuute]

Nah the greatest ever was clearly a black samurai who was the best samurai ever. Trust me bro

[@emmanuelsanchez1683]

Ah your talking about Yasuka. Very interesting.

[@ericechols6056]

Yasuka, who was a Hebrew Israelite from the tribe of Judah. The Samurai code is known for saying they wouldn't be able to do all their rigorous tasks if they didn't have black blood within dna.

[@ishetrying]

That's an incorrect use of the word blindsided.

[@zaberfang]

Musashi's dad invented an original unique pocket Jitte as well. Reminds me that Miyamoto's double sword throw was used in a fight scene in the Star Wars Acolyte. Such a waste. If only that series was acted and written better.
