1 According to legend, the two met for a decisive battle on Kokura Island (Yanryu), and Miyamoto Musashi was deliberately late, which upset Kojiro. In the decisive battle, Musashi held a weapon that was longer than the opponent's (ask a nearby boat owner to buy a boat oar, and cut a long knife more than four feet apart, and a wooden knife that absorbs water in the water is of higher quality, and the damage is greater), and turned his back even more. Chaoyang uses the sun to fascinate Sasaki's sight, kill Kojiro, and leave the scene without leaving a footprint on the beach.
2 A
duel was agreed at 8 o'clock in the morning. Out of respect for his opponent, Kojiro arrived early on the scene. But Musashi happened to be late, and the rules stipulated that if his opponent did not arrive at ten o'clock in the morning, he would abstain from voting. Musashi hasn't arrived after nine o'clock. It is conceivable that Kojiro was waiting anxiously at this time, but also felt a sense of loss, thinking that he would win without fighting. But at 9:30, Musashi appeared suddenly. At this time, Kojiro naturally had no composure to confront the enemy. He threw out the scabbard and cut it at Musashi. Musashi said to Kojiro: "How can you beat me if you throw away the scabbard?" But Kojiro has no intention of listening. Musashi preached, still insisting on competing with Musashi, and eventually died under Musashi’s long wooden sword

    Mifune's appearance is really similar to the description in the novel

    To be honest, disappointing... But then again, how come the melody of this soundtrack is so similar to that of a shadow warrior? Could it? ...

Samurai I: Musashi Miyamoto quotes

  • Musashi Miyamoto (Takezo): Why are you here?

    Takuan Osho: To capture you.

    [Takezo gives Takuan and Otsu a look of betrayal]

    Takuan Osho: If you surrender to a Buddhist priest, consideration shall be given to you.

    Musashi Miyamoto (Takezo): Never!

    Takuan Osho: My boy, do you think you can win?

    Musashi Miyamoto (Takezo): [stoutly] Yes.

    Takuan Osho: Are you trying to defeat yourself, too?

    Musashi Miyamoto (Takezo): I don't mind dying in a good fight. But before I die, I will have some blood!

    Takuan Osho: What about your relatives? They're prisoners on your account.

    Musashi Miyamoto (Takezo): What relatives? They all hate me!

    Takuan Osho: Some are suffering.

    Musashi Miyamoto (Takezo): Hang them all! Better off dead, all of them!

    Takuan Osho: Even the women?

    Musashi Miyamoto (Takezo): [close to tears] Quiet!

    Takuan Osho: And their children?

    Musashi Miyamoto (Takezo): I don't care! Let all of them...

    [Takezo starts sobbing. Takuan gets up, grabs him by the back of his collar with one hand and beats him with the other]

    Takuan Osho: Fool! Wild fool! I shall punish you, with the hand of your parents!

  • [Takuan leads Takezo to a stairway in Himeji castle leading to an attic, where Otsu is supposedly waiting. Takezo gives Takuan a look of verification, and sees Takuan's encouraging expression. Takezo rushes up to the attic to look for Otsu, but she's not there. Takuan shuts the door to the attic. Takezo rushes to the door and pounds on it]

    Musashi Miyamoto (Takezo): Takuan! Priest Takuan!

    Takuan Osho: She is safely sheltered near Hanada bridge.

    Musashi Miyamoto (Takezo): Damn you! You dirty lying rogue!

    [In a panic, Takezo rushes to the window. Outside there is nothing but lofty shingled roofs. He would break his neck trying to climb out. He pulls on the thick wooden window bars but they won't come loose. Takezo rushes back to the door, pounds on it and tries to pull it open]

    Musashi Miyamoto (Takezo): Open up! Open the door!

    Takuan Osho: Takezo. This room is yours for some time. Otsu will wait.

    Musashi Miyamoto (Takezo): You're lying. She's alone!

    Takuan Osho: She will wait. In those books are many of the things you need. After you master them, I will see you again. Farewell.

    [Takezo sinks to a sitting position, then collapses to the floor and cries uncontrollably]
