@@reanukeeves4780 No one can start from the bottom or top. But start forward. Drake did that. He did what he wanted. But sometimes wealth can bring bad things. But he used it right. He focused on what he loved. I meant things cant go always right without heart.
“Weak people cannot be virtuous” I think the Manga Vagabond taught that very well, In Musashi’s journey to enlightenment. He used to be this wild unsheathed Blade and now in the current events he’s leaned how to keep it to himself but unsheathe whenever necessary.
Well because those wins were life and death duels. Mayweather is just love tapping, clutching, and earning points, with a referee. You don't learn real skills in a controlled environment
You inspired me to go back and re-watch the 2003 series, *Musashi*. Though largely fantasized, the life of this great swordsman has been filled with gems of wisdom for all aspiring martial artists.
@@bathtubbarracuda2581 yes... I was very intrigued to know how spirituality and the way of the sword was influenced by one another in those days. I'm now planning to buy the novel in search of more gems from the story.
yes it is used for Kenshin and it was also used in mangas like BLEACH for characters like Genryusai Yamamoto and Dangai Ichigo, I think these 2 mangaka's really used these Philosophies and wrote it extremely well in manga's.
actually the Rurouni Kenshin (Samurai X) series was based off a famous assassin by the name of Kawakami Gensai. There might be hints of Musashi's philosophy in Kenshin...I'll have to watch the series again. There is an anime called Shura no Toki that has Musashi as a character.
Buddy you really got me there. I thought i am the only one praising the Ruroin kenshin saga. But happened we are many. And here we are. What a wonderful world. What great stories movies passing unnoticed.
I would like to thank you. This is just what I needed. I am currently working on a school project about Miyamoto Musashi and I happened to have found this video very useful! I hope your channel does better because your stuff is very interesting!
You did a pretty good job on this! Clearly you put a lot of work into it and it shows. I'd personally love to see stuff on other great samurai, ones that are lessor known to non-Japanese people.
Musashi wasn’t at Sekigahara. That myth was started by Yoshikawa Eiji in his novelisation but it not supported by any documentation. It is far more likely he was involved in a battle with his father in Kyushu at the time.
Something I wonder about Musashi a lot is how he was like as a person in non-combative situations. Like, how did he treat peasants? Was he callous towards them like many samurai were reported to be? Or was he more pleasant or at least left them alone? How did he earn provisions as he travelled as a ronin (some were reported to be bandits, others as legal mercenaries)? I know he may not be the modern image of what we see as an ideal hero and that societies in ancient times held very different views to ours but I like to know about how certain individuals may stand out.
This is a great question. I couldn’t find easy answers but Musashi would of followed the Bushido code of ethics which means he was going to protect the farmers, merchants and fight for their good. I didn’t come across any specific accounts though. I feel he would of been a protector for those who couldn’t defend themselves and uphold his code of honor.
@@MythicalCrypto I'd like to think that he did. But one thing we need to remember is that bushido wasn't fully codified until the later centuries of samurai. It wasn't around in the beginning. Now, there may have been some rules or codes for warriors to follow but they weren't always consistent through history and that there were samurai who looked down upon those of lower caste.
@@MythicalCrypto Another question I have is one particular painting (don't know the proper Japanese term) depicting musashi. It's the useful notes image of him on tv tropes that appears to depict him bending some guy over a tree while staring down at a woman. One website stated that this was him saving a lady from an assailant but I can't find that website nor can i find other sites that explain what was going on. Do you know what was happening in said painting?
Just a little nugget if anyone is interested... if Osaka Castle (around the 4:35 mark) looks somewhat familiar that's because it was used as the inspiration for the Ashina Castle in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and they look virtually the same, down to the bridge and lakes outside of the castles
Great 👍 video and I would like to see the of Ittosai founder of the Itto ryu and Tsukahara Bokuden founder of the Shinto ryu and Munenori Yagyu founder of the Yagyu school sorry if my spelling is wrong I wrote this off the top of my head...
memang sejarah sulit sekali diketahui secara detil, tapi justru itu yang lebih masuk akal. Tapi walau bagaimana aku lebih suka versi / karangan yang dibuat oleh Eiji Yoshikawa ☺
The Go Rin No Sho (the book of five rings) is truly a gem of wisdom for those who walk the way of the warrior, if they should read one book only in their life, this should be it.
I’m not the religious type but what if Musashi was so mysterious because he was some sort of demi-god or fallen war god? Just a crazy head canon I know but I thought it was interesting lol.

He was. But some records are vague, conflicting each other, questionable or fictional. His life tales have been romanticized so much in the plays, novels, TV shows & movies and so on.
Nah I don't think that's right I think that he means by don't let your soul influence your body is to not let your soul take over you and act behalf of you and to let your body influence your soul is the state is the warrior in combat that influence his decisions and make him hesitate or haste or freeze at the end he's an warrior and war is art it self you got to see all of it sides it is best to moderate
Got'cha! Sorry it was a wooden sword that whipped ya. -- Two swords as one? Or one sword is actually two and 2 is one. Kill the other guy. What? ... ouch.
Lol come on man, I’m sure some of the stories about him are indulging a bit but if stories of him have lasted through hundreds of years then I’m sure he was exactly what history says he was. He secluded himself for years and did nothing but trained in the mountains . He became an excellent swordsman no doubt about it. But I’m sure he had natural talent that he was born with . Most likely he would have been extremely fast is why he would of defeated everyone he fought . Through years of training .

Too kind, thank you! Learning his sword style would be awesome.
very Informative Documentary thanks for making this!
Its my pleasure!
fascinating historical character. If only we could have a conversation with him via time machine
If only..what would you ask him?
I wouldn't say anything to him....he might cut my head off
Haha, it’d depend what part of his life you met him maybe
I only knew Musashi because of “Baki” (anime manga/series) but looking at his actual history makes me like the guy more! Awesome video! 👍
Awesome..
A true warrior..!
Thank you!!
It is my pleasure!

So, Musashi was a polymath?
Bennosuke Doraku is his buddhist name, when he became buddhist in his old age
Very interesting!
Musashi was post warring states so was he challenging battle trained warriors this is debatable i think.
Yeah it’s hard to say though he always was close to whatever action there was

he should credit vagabond art
