I hear that his favorite weapon was actually a Valkyrie who morphed into a blade

I think it was either 2 or 3. Possibly 2 but more likely 3. In the book of 5 rings Musashi goes into pretty good details about looking for the environmental advantage at every opportunity...i think he even referenced keeping the sun at your back and in their face to handicap them so it really isn't far fetched to believe 2 actually happened. But ppl in power over there are cutthroat and take no chances of being usurped by a powerful subordinate. Its just ultra strange that a fight of this level wouldn't be documented until 150ish years later. That makes absolutely no sense. As soon as i saw Record of Ragnorok it reminded me that theres more to this story than we'll ever know.

He was also portrayed very well in Record of Ragnorak, the narrator explains his history when he became a very great swordsman and how he trains. I adapt his lifestyle in mine because every time he was defeated he gets reforged into a stronger swordsman, which is very inspirational to me.

I think Musashi deliberately showed up late to take advantage of the sun, and used a wooden sword to disrespect and enrage Kojiro. Musashi won the mind game because he knew his chances were even at best based on skill alone. Most of the theories I have seen was that Musashi left Kojiro alive at the end of the duel, but someone else, perhaps Musashi's followers came after and finished the job. It's one of those things where I'd pay good money to be a fly on the wall to see how it really went down.

Musashi Zen trained and quit using fatal techniques afterwards,doubt he would have hired out as an assassin,not honorable.He was also a great artist and philosopher.

Well, really think about it. If he DID assassinate him, i think the guilt would eventually make him make a vow like that. Same as if he cheated. No one will ever know. But what i do know is #1 is the fishiest of them all yet its the accepted theory

In some books it is written that Kojiros sword was made in Yamato and was a O-Dashi. Shortened for obi wearing but still long at over 70cm nagasa. But who knows ? To my mind Musashi had already made his bokken before he went ot sea.

I liked your video, Mushu! I think that theory #3 is mostly probable. It was the common way to end in those time. Their duel reminded me on a legendary chess-games that Alekhine and Capablanca had in their times. In both categories, that was the clash of Titans!

They invited him to the island for an ambush. It took both strikes you mentioned after, when he was exhausted, too kill him. Cause he was a beast.

That's a nice video man 👍

there is actually something that might support the third theory acording to the Numata kaki, written by the keeper of the castle where Musashi stayed at the time of his famous duel on Ganryū Island Following the duel Kojirô regained consciousness, yet Musashi’s deshi ganged in on him and killed him. the only reason I would see for musashi students to kill sasaki after the duel is already over is if there was a hit on sasaki

Greetings from Germany ilove the old japanese ERA.

Musashi's legend has become romanticized over time, but back in those days the political climate was highly treacherous and a Samurai would have to follow all kinds of despicable orders from their lords, so it wouldn't surprise me if they did Kojiro-san dirty.

Except that you are mistaken samurai who was a servent with ronin who were more like hired mercenaries. But Musashi were neither. He was a swordfighter and ocasionaly did work for some daimio. Nothing in his biography suggest working as a hit man. That was not his first duel, but it was his last and by that time he had beaten all the greats. He was wildly unconventional and that is why this 400 years butthurts claims still lives Even the guy presenting the video: "three hours late!" Hahahaha You are going to kill or be killed and expect "good maners" Musashi is such a gift for these world

Your pronunciations kill me but A for dedication

I have always heard the 2nd story. Except that he hit him with a very long boating oar.

I'm here because of episode 9 of record of Ragnarok. Like commented and subscribed 👍

Kojiro's friends' story will be the one that will be most skewed in his favour. And they say that he died fighting a duel but make excuses for him. The excuses are quite petty, therefore, its most likely that the duel happened and he lost fair and square.

@Sans243

On the other side Musashi's friends would say that Kojiro lost fair and square even if Musashi cheated

Sasaki had a nodachi. Musashi didn't think he could win against him with a regular katana so on the boat ride to the island he carved up a boat oar about the size of Sasaki's nodachi and used it in stead. Not sure how that is cheating. Musashi used so many tricks and unorthodox battle strategies that it would make Sun Tzu and Machiavelli blush. Lol

nice vid altough kodachi is a small sword, so he wielded nodachi

Musashi was a master of using the elements which without them he probably would have lost so many times

Yes but no fight is ever fought in a vaccum.

Knowing musashis reputation then he may have really won, the crowds were probably so opposite, but if all of these scenarios were to be made, then everyone must’ve been big fans of both warriors, the loss of either would have still sparked outrage.

*Sasaki kojiro vs Poseidon* Record of Ragnarok put him on the spotlight also

Having waited for a long time, Sasaki demanded to Hosokawa that he be declared winner by default. But Hosokawa refused, insisted that Sasaki wait, and so he waited and he waited: mixed emotions in him: rage at Musashi's disrespect for him, frustrated demand to claim the win, elation at Musashi's supposed cowardice, and so on. So by the time Musashi arrived, Sasaki already exhausted himself by his own mental imbalances. Hosokawa actually planned to kill both Musashi and Sasaki. Whoever survived this fight would be killed in turn. Musashi saw through the deceit, and lured Sasaki to pursue him to shore where Musashi's boat awaited him. Musashi slew Sasaki, and escaped before Hosokawa's men could surround and kill Musashi. Out of spite, Hosokawa's people renamed the island Ganryujima, in honor of Sasaki instead of Musashi. The game was totally rigged. Still Musashi achieved his mission and escaped successfully. While Sasaki fell to both Hosokawa's and Musashi's trap, hook, line and sinker. Had this been absolutely fair fight, Sasaki's monstrous skill would probably have won.

@@glowiever : it's not my theory. It's what my Sensei from Japan told me about this story. As for: why Hosokawa wanted to kill both Musashi and Sasaki? Well, Sensei said that's what government people did. Politician types often have little martial ability of their own, but they're wary of the samurais who does have real martial ability and following. They're thus always looking for an excuse to weaken or get rid of them. For many years they (the Hosokawa in this case) actually wanted to 'get rid of' Sasaki but could not find anyone able, so they're 'feeling forced' to sign Sasaki on as their retainer. But at the same time, they promote Sasaki's notoriety in attempt to goad both Sasaki and Musashi into a battle that would destroy each other. Musashi avoided this. But Sasaki always the egotistical one, actually sough to prove he's better than Musashi. In the end Musashi felt he had to deal with both Sasaki and Hosokawa. This climax in the duel of Ganryujima.

I think it was theory 3, but he really did wait till the sun was in his eyes to make it easier for him.

In a life & death situation, d objective is to win. I believe in theory #2, if musashi uses a longer sword against kojiro and kojiro is a well trained samurai. I don't think there is any cheating or problem in that. D rule is, Life or Death? BE PREPARED 🤨

I talk to some japanese pepz that they believe the 3rd story more plausible but the story goes. Theory support that they all know Musashi is a very good military strategist. He was not alone when he attack him. When kojiro is weakand injured he made the final blow. Mushashi also never takes a bath maybe once a week or month is what Ive heard. Because it is a sign of manliness or something. And he never uses 2 swords that much. He uses uf ut is just necessary to beat an opponent on his advantage.

The second theory is the most likely, Musashi had already used the strategy of being late in confrontations on other occasions and was the creator of the two swords technique because he knew how to adapt to the situation and create new combat conditions. That he arrived late and fought with a wooden sword bigger than Kojiro's is very likely, and still, this is the most known and accepted.

No mention of an oar as a weapon. Cheating to use a longer weapon? So Sasaki cheated all along? Theory three isn’t even contemporary, it’s conjecture by people that weren’t involved except to muddy the waters

Great video, Kojiro isn't in one piece though.. that's a vagabond panel

3:30 that's Vagabond...not One Piece...

Or theory 4,Musashi and Kojiro are lovers and they live happily writing about rings and stuff.

Wasn't he deaf samurai i swore i read somewhere and remember correctly he was mentioned deaf samurai.

i know this video is 1 year old but if you still haven't check out the record of ragnarok adaptaion of kojiro if you haven't its really cool!

History is written by the winners... Who knows what happened... He showed up late... Probably from the direction of the sun.. he could have just shot kojiro with an arrow from his boat... Got out and beat him to death with his boat oar.... He was tricky... And then after realizing HE didn't fight fair and that could happen to him... Swears off all duels cuz it mind f*cked him

It was a duel to the death, the only rule is to be the one alive at the end..

nah but fr why are samurais so fcking cool

I prefer the version in Records of Ragnarok of how Sasaki died

So did you read the Book? Miyamoto Musashi (translated by Yoshikawa) You flashed a photo of the cover in your video. You should read the whole entire book.

The book is great but very historically inaccurate. As far as I remember, it ends around the time Musashi's actual deeds were only beginning, places the duel much earlier than it happened, and fabricates drama between the two beforehand in order to have them have a rivalry that gets solved by the duel at the end.

Wooden oar killed Kojiro

Lol.... There is no cheating. That's ludicrous. If Musashi waited 3 hours and lengthened his sword, It was a combat strategy that worked. Why is it cheating for Musashi to have a long sword but not for Kojiro to have already had a long sword? That sounds like a story made up by butthurt Kojiro fan boys. But there's a different take on it. Maybe Musashi did show up late, psychologically defeating Kojiro before the duel and, the tactically superior Musashi making sure Kojiro was facing the sun, defeated Kojiro. Other troops may have been there to kill Kojiro if he had defeated Musashi, but Since Musashi lived, we have to assume the other troops weren't needed and Musashi just won.... With a strategy that outsmarted his opponent.

Musashi was a honorable fighter don't think he pulled any tricks

Musashi won fair and square sasaki was in musashis range and was easily defeated because his head was cracked from a thick wooden sword

In a monument created by Musashi’s adoptive son, it states that Musashi arrived on time for the duel and declared a wooden sword as his weapon before arrival. I’d accept this as the closest truth to what happened on an island. Him showing up late or it being an assassination is plausible, but it seems to me that Kojiro was an unfortunate victim to Musashi’s legendary duels.

Sasaki Kojirou is a mythological character lol

Musashi an assassin? Okay people, you are trippin hard
