    After enduring an interminably long blistering stare contest with his opponent, our hero Musashi finally dropped the stick wielding hobo with a single strike, and thus reclaimed the title of the most unkempt ronin in Japan.

      interestingly, according to legend, Musashi never took a bath. apparently, he was ambushed or he ran into an enemy or three while taking a bath several times, buck naked and unarmed. so, he swore off bathing entirely as an excuse to always carry his sword with him XD

    This is where the "80% talking and explaining fight mechanics and the strengths and weaknesses of the characters and 20% being actual fighting" rule in anime comes from.

      Only its a pain in the ass in anime but enjoyable in the old movies. If this was an anime the background voice would say a lot more and the characters would be constantly talking about their emotions, believes and backstory and would brag about their fighting style and whoever is cockier about it, will usually loose.

    @starflakmyriad5394 2 ปีที่แล้ว +317

    Of course, when Musashi realized that his opponent could read his mind, Musashi knew instantly that he would be victorious in this battle. He knew this because Musashi never fights with a set plan or strategy: he reacts to his opponent spontaneously and naturally. Meanwhile, his opponent is fixated upon the external world for his cue when and how to attack. In a strange way, his opponent's greatest strength is also his greatest weakness. When the leaf touches the ground, Yuki strikes but Musashii instantly counters. The leaf is simply a symbol of the external world. Yuuki's strategy depends on studying his opponent, while Musashi employs the no-mind of Zen which is a mirror. Yuuki never had a chance.
    In his last seconds of consciousness, Yuuki asks if Musashi read his mind. Musashi replies that no, the leaf told him, meaning that it was Yuki's penchant for waiting for an external cue, i.e. reading someone's mind, that determines the outcome.

    • @yegenek
      @yegenek 2 ปีที่แล้ว +29

      However, according to sources Musashi almost always devised clever strategies before entering duels. Arriving too late to anger or too early to surprise to gain the upper hand in psychological warfare. Also improvising a taller bokken from an oar and taking the sun behind him when confronting Kojiro this is a pretty elaborate strategy.

    While Musashi and the master Katayama yuuki waited for each other to take action, a leaf fell between the two. Musashi was not distracted, but Katayama might be distracted, thinking that he would win first. But Musashi knew that when the leaf fell on the ground, Katayama would definitely take action, so he already knew of the best timing to deliver the killing strike.

    At 1:31 he didn't really say "An extraordinarily strong demon." He said "人の道から外れた鬼だ。" - "Hito no michi kara hazureta oni da." This means "A demon who has strayed from the path of humanity." I suppose he is saying Musashi has forsaken his humanity and has become a demon as well.

On the one side they're saying reasonable things and it looks like it's trying to make an argument for logic, deductive reasoning and a world-view based on evidence... but at the same time they're saying that every human already lived several times as a "lesser lifeform" to even become human. And on top of that, they're really trying hard to look scientific but hilariously fail at that (e.g. equating consciousness with energy as defined by theoretical physics and even trying to link it to Newton's third law of motion).
      From what I see, it just a product of “too much thinking”, trying to justify what the author think about “truth”. Problem is, the author doesn't even understand the difference between existence and immortality and already has a pre-determined “truth”.

      Reason is a High Order action of consciousness, Intuition is a reflexive action ie. it is not a conscious act. Anyway, what the OP wrote is in upside down order: following Intuition is a Plane of action below Reason, and thus faster. With fewer moving paths.

      @lordofthebeltsthereturnoft1127 7 ปีที่แล้ว +88

      Wrong, Musashi wasn't unkempt and what you are talking about are Oni and they are not dirty men either. The samurai class were actually a rich class, Musashi was a samurai and he was originally raised by his Monk uncle and being a messy vagrant isn't a trait of Buddhism, Musashi is painted and he wasn't a dirty man. He tied his hair back and had nice clothes and was clean shaven.
      So you Americans basing him off stupid pictures that western people draw of him on deviantart really need to get an education.

  • @tukko22
    @tukko22 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Shout out to @marko19914 who I think explains well the "the leaf let me in" sentence, my interpretation of it as follows (probably everybody knows this by now and I'm repeating myself and everything but, if so please bare with me): I think the leaf represents the principle of what in Aikido is called Irimi, which is the idea of getting into your opponents blind spot while stepping forward, outside the line of attack of the opponent. This is done in order to not receive the attack and move into the open spot of your opponent after the strike as an advantageous attack position(although in Aikido this is used to perform the technique, not to attack). The leaf highlights the attack line, which is being telegraphed as well by Katayama's pose. Musashi realizes about this and he decides to go outside the attack line and forward, striking Katayama. "The leaf let me in" is a poetic way of explaining this and adding drama ofc. If I'm wrong please let me know, thanks haha.

    • @marko19914
      @marko19914 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You might be right about the stance telegraphing possible suichoku giri from jodan. Might have been carried away by the shinto mysticism in this sentence + I guess they Katayama replying to his thoughts as if they were said aloud would support that as well.

    • @josetgomez
      @josetgomez 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Good! there is some truth there in that a technique is concern. However Minamoto Musashi main power for all his victories is the state of empty mind stale, like a true zen master. I think He is acting free and spontaneous to the challenge knowing that his mastering of body and mind will act accordantly. In this duel he did open the guard to his right side and wait for Katayama to strake first. Miyamoto Musashi moved to the right side to avoid the strake and in the same time passed the sword from the right to the left behind his head strait to the from head of Katayama. The leaf is a sort haiku for the state of freedom and spontaneity of the “empty mind”
      This how I see it (I practice aikido and the five stands of Miyamoto Musashi I hope I understood)

    • @attiliomessina7701
      @attiliomessina7701 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @jbat1938
      @jbat1938 5 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      Seeing as mind games are also a part of swordplay and effective combat, this is not about pretentiousness, nor is it even about mind reading; it's about the state of mind of the two leading into their duel. The one used a bit of trickery that he's probably used in countless duels since realising he was an imposing figure, pretending to read his opponent's mind, Musashi ignored his trickery, whose purpose was to create self-doubt and unnecessary mental static before their fight. Since the correct answer is either seeing through it or ignoring it, Musashi won out. The falling leaf bit was just to throw his nonsense back into his face in a way he'd be thinking about for years.

      Le Minh Duc I fancy myself a bit of a Swordsman, so I'd like to challenge you when you say that fighting isn't an art, it's a science.
      I say it's BOTH. You need to have a firm understanding of both your body and your weapon and how to move them as one. That's the science. You also need to see your opponent and imagine how he will fight and construct a narrative for the fight where you will win. There are so many different ways to create that winning narrative, a person's creativity and spirit will naturally shine through. That's the art.
      I have no pretensions that battle isn't brutal and horrific. I don't glorify killing in the slightest. Fencing is fun and has enriched my life. That's all.

Whatever happened was 500 years ago, so without multiple sources independently claiming it, there is no way to reasonably conclude it as fact. It is much more likely that this did not happen than did. But, 500 years later, we'll never know.

      Same. Musashi wins this duel irl but from the looks of the characters and sword musashi was the one that lost in the video. Also why is kojiro holding a wooden sword also?

    I've read the book. I thought Musahi to be the more unkempt one. Plus he would never fight from a frozen stance. You don't need to, so why put yourself at that disadvantage.

      The flow of his dual counter-attacks must have been a sight to behold.

    The problem with this is that miyamoto musashi was always known for being extremely scruffy and unkempt so in essence the wardrobe people got it backwards...

      Bingo, I thought the guy on the left was Musashi.

    I love how he keeps killing people with a single bonk from a piece of wood
