    The account of this duel I read was that Musashi used a wooden sword made of an oar. So it is absolutely possible that his sword was longer. Musashi had by then survived many duels and was an expert swordsman. Did he use the sun to his advantage if possible. Based on his teachings in the book of the "Five Rings" absolutely. I believe that the second account of the duel is probably close to actual event.

    Those guys followed the Bushi code. 'Dirty fighting' wasn't a thing. You used any advantage. You train your techniques every day and this trained your mind. If Kojiro had simply been assassinated, this would have been faithfully recorded as in many other cases. Cruelty was normal, lying about it afterwards was not. They say that Musashi carved his weapon from an oar of the boat. He'd set off unarmed (without katana). Id be more prepared to believe that he'd made a makeshift weapon with say.... a tanto attached like a spear tip. This would provide him with a lighter (faster) weapon and longer range than even Kojiro's sword. He'd have expected to fight swords and been confronted with something unknown - a long stabbing weapon (and not a cutting weapon). Failure to be able to judge distance would be a lethal disadvantage in that case. And thats kindof what the old sources describe.

    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

    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.

    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.

  • @piiwa365

    Pronunciation of her name: Tomo-aye (like hey without h). Many stories were shared by martial arts masters who trained in Japan that the women who were left to guard the castles while the men went to war became masters in Naginata and could fend off samurai with swords. Guns changed all that, and hastened the end of the Samurai period. Tomoe was only one story that survived; I bet there were others, just as there were many strong women who pushed west in the US without menfolk. “If the lion (or in this case lioness) never learns to write his/her history, the story will always end with the lion being killed.” Thanks for this

  • @xovaqiin4844
    @xovaqiin4844 Рік тому

    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.

    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.

  • @adam-dn3hi

    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

    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.

    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.
