The late boat arrival was real. Musashi intentionally arrived to the beach 3 hours late enraging the organizers of the duel, the shoguns who backed the encounter, and Kojiro himself. He also pushed Kojiro into making the first move which Musashi countered inmediately. The difference with the movie versions is that Musashi then broke Kojiro's left ribs and punctured his lung which ultimately led to his dead. He was not killed by a blow to the head like in the movie. After the duel, Musashi had an spiritual awakening and decided he wouldn't have more lethal duels anymore. Never lost any of the 60 duels he was involved in. Was an undefeated swordsman. He was also a Ronin and during his older years he penned a book, "The Five Rings", an account of swordmanship and fighting techniques. Remains to this day Japan's best ever sword fighter.

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.

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.

@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.

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.

Musashi was like Bruce Lee or a mixed martial artist of his time, after the warring states period most swordsmanship schools sunk in stagnance with too much theory and style losing practicality and real martial substance although there were also great warriors like Kojiro and Baiken. With his unorthodox tactics and his direct no-nonsense fierce approach Musashi shocked everyone, beat all of his rivals and had a significant role in turning back Japanese swordsmanship to martial roots.

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.

@@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.

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.

In a book i read, musashi deliberately came in later than the promised time to give psychological pressure on kojiro. Musashi brought a longer stick then kojiro's katana (kojiro's famous with long katana n consider as one of the best samurai). Then after the 1st blow where kojiro fell down he swing his katana at musashi leg but musashi jumped off n gave the finishing blow to kojiro. At this time it is said that musashi already became a ronin. He had a draw duel against a ninja using a chain kind of weapon once.

Lo hizo enojar llegando muy tarde al duelo haciendolo encolerizar, lo hizo correr y agitarse, alterando su respiracion y ritmo cardiaco, por ende su concentracion, lo ataco con un arma mas larga que una katana y de fuerte impacto, si fue como en el video con el sol detras, todo esto fue tremendamente tactico.

Samurai: I've been waiting for you *tosses sheath like a freaking amazon box* Musashi: Bro are you f*cking dumb?!

So he basically brought a taiaha to a sword fight.

Learning about Samurai I've been reading many ppl saying that Musashi had no honor by how he won this duel. I would be glad if any could explain me why it was a dishonarable victory. Ty for the video.

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

And they decided to kill each other to prove who was better? I think they could have done that without killing, gone off and had a glass of plum wine together. Love that plum wine.

The scene described by Yoshikawa is a little longer. There were two other fight parts that were not in here. I still believe that Musashi decided to not use the real sword because he wanted to believe that both of them could still be alive after this, and not waste their lives vainly.

Musachi was a legend

На сколько я помню, на то время Мусаши был просто феноменально талантливым повесой. Палку которой он сражался - с похмелюги забыв меч, выстрогал из весла лодки на которой плыл на остров для дуэли.

How on earth they shaved it clean

Musashi probably calculated the reach of Kojiro's sword but it still hit his headwraps.

Or maybe that was exactly his plan?

What's all the running up and down and leaping about in aid of? Best version I ever saw, at a Japanese film season at the NFT in the 70's, I seem to recall that Musashi jumped out the boat, ran up and hit him with the oar, turned round and got back on the boat. Just like that... no theatrics.

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 😉

"You're late!" "Nice hair." Followed by a long stroll down along the beach.

Everything looks so artificial. The moment he jumped I thought he's going to fly away as in Red Bull ads. Also jumping and making a powerful swing from behind your back is an invitation to being hit with no possibility of parry, dodge or step away.

Is it me or that Kojiro guy is good looking?

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

When was this show done? I'm figuring 80s or very early 90s. The actor shown here in 0:18 I recognize from the NHK taiga drama Nobunaga: King of Zipangu. He played the role of Hayashi Michikatsu there (loved that show BTW).

Legend say he cut kojiro throat with that bokken made from a boat row

本物の巌流島は、確か下関と門司の間にある小さな島ですよね。 観光地になってるし舗装されてたり、対岸にはビルやら建物があるし 映り込むと世界観が表現できないからロケ地にできなかったんでしょうね😅 このドラマの舞台になったのは熊本県天草にある茂串海水浴場 自然のままのビーチで海の透明度もバツグンに綺麗すぎてうっとりします。 ここの砂浜までたどり着くのに磯みたいな岩場を歩くので秘境みたいなビーチですが行く価値ありますよ〜

Timing on Kojiro was the fatal flaw. If he waited a milisecond longer, the cut would be successful. Also he could've parry the jump bash of Musashi.

Regend!

Musashi intentionally arrived late is part of his plan, to make Kojiro tired waiting for him and wait for the sun shine brighter. Musashi intentionally run so he can put himself backlight in the eyes of Kojiro. His bokken is longer and lighter than average katana so he can move faster and longer reach than kojiro, he is not using katana because he want to mock Kojiro. Musashi intentionally jump so Kojiro eyes blinded by the sun, he is not jump to the front, he is jump in place, his bokken is longer. He win because his experience in real battle is more than Kojiro. Yes, he is win using trick. but, trick and plan is part of battle no matter where you are. He is a genius.

Wow is this a series or a movie who ever direct this has a great idea of using bullet time effect properly.

Mitchell Underwood in regards to whether there were witnesses to the duel, it’s said that Musashi left on the boat immediately after killing Kojiro to escape his enraged followers

It's funny how this scene kinda played out in SW2, except Musashi uses real swords, and he sailed to face Kojiro by himself

The bloodless last duel of Myamoto-San. I read about this.

It was a nodachi not katana.

Musashi was a McGregor type. He combined exceptional skill in battle with a superstar's ego and the ability to troll his opponents to the point of emotional response in combat. He wasn't a flashy gangster with a crew and expensive items, he had more of a Diogenes-meets-Fedor vibe.
