    Lets be honest tho, wether you love or hate matahachi. In the end matahachi is basically the reflection of trueself. A coward, a person who fears failing, a person who compares themself to others. Even tho i love musashi, matahachi is by far the most relatable character for me

    Failing and being a disappointment were the reasons why I hated Matahachi at first.
    But once Matahachi accepted that it’s ok to fail as long as he kept trying, that’s when I appreciated his character.

    @carlisborgon 2 ปีที่แล้ว +17

    I'm guessing the reason why everyone hates Matahachi is ironically because of exactly what Musashi says "what you see if a reflection of yourself". I hated him too. This video put all of that hate into perspective. I despised him because of how much I see myself in him. I've felt all he's felt and reacted the same way, pathetically. I cried watching this video because it made me understand Matahachi purpose in the world. He's the human analog to all the inhumans that Musashi meets. It's not satisfying, coming to recognize you will never reach the impossible heights of the Musashis in your own life, but being hung up on that frustration only hinders your progress to anything even close to your dreams. Wonderful video man ❤️

      @matt_sun  3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      His character development was amazing

  • @MultiDiceman
    @MultiDiceman 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Matahatchi idealized Mushashi to degrees mushashi himself didnt even live up too until years later, for most of the story mushashi was a mentally warped character with a dream fueled by his own insecurities born from an emotionally abusive father. Something he had to let go to not only progress into real strength ini swordsmanship but also mentally which in turn made him a better person and swordsman as the mind and body are one.
    Matahatchi would have became strong had he realized he lacked the resolve to be the strongest swordsman but not because he was weak but because he did not want to make the necessary sacrifices for that dream. Being the strongest in it of itself holds little value in the grandios of life as you cant take anything, not even your title to the grave, I mean mushashi gave up on the women he loved, sacrificed a peaceful life whom he himself really found value in the farming arc to chase this ideal of the best killer.
    the message is that dont compare yourselves to others and their accomplishments because the sacrifices made to get there may not be worth it. There is no right or wrong in how you want to live your life but live it to where you have little regrets about the outcome and be able to accept who you are and where you end up.

    I relate and most likely like Matahachi and Musashi way more than I do Sasaki, That is the truth and I really like this video
    I was born with a weaker body than most if not all of the people I met its horrible since one of the main things that matter in society, specially in the sort of country I am in, Truth is physical strenght is what people will actually take you in mind for and if you dont have it for a lot of people you will be nothing, And this is specially why I love Matahachi as a character, He is more realistic sure, He can suffer from anxiety, and fails over and over, and a lot of people hate him for his bad actions, but these are things that everyone at one point commits and despite that Matahachi kept reaching for the top for 90% of the manga trying to overcome all of said issues even if it was by means that werent good (impersonating Sasaki) he kept getting up, In a way in ways like how I keep going to the gym trying to overcome my weak body, only to get hit by reality again when someone who never touched a dumbell in his life performs a physical task better than I do or beats me in something that requires physical strenght, It surely is a lost cause for me to do any of this but I do it anyways in an unwavering way, Much like Matahachi despite his bad choices and putting himself down did
    Matahachi is a "Failure" A failure that tries to be strong, and that probably makes him to a certain point strong, Much like his Mother said to him.

    Honestly people are so hard on Matahachi. Like, the dude never had a guide who will teach him the right path. Freaking Musashi had Takuan, the Bald Monk, Shishido Baiken I think, the other old man whose sword was from Heaven and Earth, Takuan again, the old man from the farm, a shitton of life advice and yet, he seems to never grasp the whole point.
