Reviews

[Maria · Rating 4 out of 5]

Miyamoto (or Takezo) = absolute MAD LAD.
Matahachi = pathetic piece of trash.
Yoshioka Seijuro = legend.
Yoshioka Denshishiro = inferiority complex impersonated.

[Diz · Rating 5 out of 5]

Shinmen Takezo finally takes up the name Miyamoto Musashi and heads to Kyoto to challenge the head of the Yoshioka School of sword fighting. The duels at the school have a lot of tension as the battles are both mental and physical.

Amazing artwork and story by Takehiko Inoue.

[Keiko, the manga enthusiast ♒︎ · Rating 5 out of 5]

I guess I still have lingering feelings for Matahachi then. I wanted them to reunite so bad! This is really good stuff. I love the art and the action sequence. This volume revolves around a particular time in Musashi Miyamoto's (Shinmen Takezo) 21st year when he decided to battle against Yoshioka School's head, Seijuro Yoshioka. I love the consuming fire metaphor at the end. It builds up even the reader's spirits. Although, I thought I'd get more Otsu time here, but it's fine. I guess I'd see her on the future volumes.

Miyamoto Musashi, the titular Vagabond, takes on a whole of swordsman and proceeds to demolish its roster of lesser pupils until three are left. Musashi was in the midst of a battle with one of the three before something unexpected breaks out.

This is the true start of Musashi's journey to becoming a sword-saint. It was with such duels that he honed his skill and grew his reputation. As a reader, I am looking forward to such sword fights.

[Juho Pohjalainen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Musashi meets the first real challenge he's had during this comic, continues to be a reckless daredevil, yet puts out the kind of a scary aura where the reader can almost believe his boasts of invincibility. He definitely hasn't grown up much so far.

Also, Matahachi continues to be an ass.

اولین بار که با واگا آشنا شدم و چشمم بهش افتاد یک آرتی بود که موساشی لب رودخونه خسته از نبرد و جنگ به دنبال آرامش بود و وقتی شروع به خوندنش کردم دیدم این پسرک جوان دنبال هرچیزی هست الی آرامش.

بنظرم رشد شخصیتی جالبی رو خواهد داشت که به اون نقطه میرسه.

Vagabond Volume 3


Esse volume vai dos cap 22 ao 31 e apresenta o novo arco da academia Yoshioka e mostra Takezo agora conhecido como Myamoto Musashi buscando os adversários mais fortes pra derrotar pra assim se tornar invencível sob o sol e é claro que ele iria desafiar o mais forte da academia pra isso esse cap foi muito bom pois mostra que apesar do protagonista ser forte ele não é o mais forte e se ele não quiser morrer tão cedo vai ter que aprender muito sobre a arte da espada teve uma fala nesse volume que me lembrou muito a fala do Miwalk em One Piece pobre animalzinho está prestes a conhecer a vastidão do mundo e isso foi insano demais estão louco pra ver o desenvolvimento do Musashi e quero ver se ele vai conseguir alcançar o seu objetivo de ser o mais forte.

[Tom Ewing · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is not going to be an especially profound review because Vagabond is not an especially profound comic, just an extremely well executed one. Everything in here - the protagonist's journey from wild boy to sword master; the dude who seems like a wastrel but is in fact an astonishingly accomplished fighter; the take-on-the-whole-sword-school plot... It's all familiar stuff, if not from other samurai manga then from movies - and the translated script has the crisp, somewhat stiff rhythm of martial arts movie dialogue to a T. Some elements - Musashi's dissipated friend, for instance - do add a little more depth. But mostly Vagabond's appeal is the consummate, immersive skill with which Inoue arranges his common ingredients. Everything from rain on roofs to the wary circling of accomplished fighters is marvellously rendered and tightly paced - few mangaka have this much control over the speed you read their work at. "Cinematic" is one of the more overused words in comics discussion but If it means anything, what Inoue does here qualifies.

[Dhia Nouioui · Rating 5 out of 5]

I never thought Matahachi turns into such a loser in the first few chapters.

What do you find on Takehiko Inoue's Vagabond:

Majestic Artwork
Great Story
and some great semi-realistic sword fights



The story timeskips 4 year after the second volume, Takezo is now named himself Miyamoto Musashi. Finally in Kyoto he meet some fineass swordsman that needed more than simply strength to dealt with. This volume is pretty slow, like really really slow. The fight scene is basically more on inner conversation instead of you're generic anime sword fight that swings those really heavy swords like a stick.

Like this one


If you make this into an anime(This Volume), its gonna be like 3 episodes tops.

[Vikas · Rating 5 out of 5]

Finally, Takezo gets his new name, Musashi, and moves to Kyoto looking for strong swordsmen to fight to prove that he is the strongest. Well, he sure finds someone strong and fights ensue will have to wait for the continuation of the story. So let's continue and Keep on Reading.

I have always loved comics, and I have I can. I love comics to bits, may the comics never leave my side. I loved reading this and love reading more, you should also read what you love and hope always to love them. Even though I grew up reading local Indian comics like Raj Comics, Diamond Comics, or even Manoj Comics, now's the time to catch up on international and classic comics and Graphic novels. I am on my quest to read as many comics as I just want to Keep on Reading.

یه شکست ریز برای کاراکتر اصلی که نیاز مبرمی بود.

[Ali · Rating 5 out of 5]

تمام نقاط قوتی که برای دو ولیوم قبلی گفتم، اینجا هم صادقه.
راستش قبل خوندن این ولیوم حس می‌کردم که اینوئه سنسی قراره در آینده، داستان ماتاهاچی رو ادامه بده و به موساشی مرتبط کنه ولی توی ولیوم سوم حضور داشت و صحنه‌های جالبی داشت. در کنار خط اصلی داستان، این داستان ماتاهاچی و دغدغه درونیش هم جذابه.


معمولا در مورد یک پنل خاص حرف نمی‌زنم ولی به‌نظرم لازمه برای اولین بار به یه پنل اشاره کنم. توی چپتر ۳۱ یه جایی هست که مدرسه یوشیوکا داره می‌سوزه و موساشی از اونجا بیرون میاد. خونیه و فهمیده چه حریف‌های قدرتمندی داره و قراره بعدا باهاشون مبارزه کنه. موساشی غرق خون توی کوچه راه میره و پشت سرش مدرسه در حال سوختنه. فریاد می‌زنه که سیجورو و دنشیچیرو خیلی قوین.
نوع خاص قاب‌بندی اینوئه در این پنل کم‌نظیره
شعله‌های آتیش پشت سر موساشی، جوری هستن که انگار دارن روان و درون پر آشوب و سوزان موساشی رو نشون میدن. موساشی کسی که انقدر به خودش مطمئن بوده و می‌خواد قوی‌ترین شمشیرزن زیر خورشید باشه، شکست خورده و این وضعیت، درونش رو به آتیش کشیده.
بگذریم. هر چقدر هم که من بگم، بازم حق مطلب ادا نمیشه. خودتون بخونید و کیف کنید.

I thought we would follow him during his training period but we skipped few years and now he is Miyamoto Musashi, a vagabond, travelling around seeking swordsmen to beat.
It is a good volume, the artwork is still great but I expected something different...

I will be Invincible Under the Sun

[Tony · Rating 3 out of 5]

Great art but story too slow. Every-time he wins the battle against the ultimate fighter. There is another one around the corner.

Reborn as a new man, Musashi is taking on the world. He plans on asking the strongest fighters in each dojo to fight him, sometimes to the death. His first stop he seems very much like he can take them all on till the owner comes in and shows him just how quick and strong he is. So instead leaves his big brother to handle it. Leaving for a quick and brutal fight. I loved this volume as much as the other 2. Vagabond takes such a deep look into a man determined not to let his life mean nothing, that'll he'll die proving it.

[Himanshu Karmacharya · Rating 4 out of 5]

The journey of this peculiar vagabond has mesmerized me. Phenomenal artwork combined with some masterful storytelling.

[ki]

“Shinmen Takezo died here today. That's all that the villagers of Musashi need to know. But never forget where you came from, the place you grew up. Carry Miyamoto Village inside yourself, Takezo. You shall be called Miyamoto Musashi.”

“I'm prepared to die. But I don't plan on just throwing my life away.”

“The mountains and everything in them have been my only others teachers.”

“I'm just a country hick. I came to Kyoto because the most skilled fighters are here. I plan on defeating the best of the best. I get the feeling that you're pretty strong. I'm asking because after I defeat you I want to know how close I am to becoming invincible under the sun.”

“I'm going to fight you with everything I have. Are you willing to do the same?”

“The way of the sword is steep. I still have so far to climb. But that makes my goal all the more worthwhile.”

“Miyamoto Musashi. Sometimes persistence wil get you nowhere.”

“Passion, spirit, anger, suppressed fear all of your emotions. They're all reflected in your sword.”

“My feet won't move!! As if they're glued to the floor. Is this fear? My hands, too. Am I too scared to move? Am I afraid of death!?”

[Nathalie Andrews · Rating 4 out of 5]

In the third volume of the series, Takezo has taken the name Miyamoto Musashi and we've time-skipped four years; he's now a young man touring dojo, seeking to try his hand against the best swordsmen in the country. Compared to the first two volumes, I felt the storyline in this one wasn't quite as strong, or perhaps it is simply that the "I want to be the very best" (insert pokemon theme tune here) motif is used so frequently in manga that I was concerned the series might descend into a fight-of-the-week serial. What keeps me reading is the great characters, with the introduction of the swordmaster, Yoshioka, whose genius swordsmanship is offset by the fact that he's far more interested in womanising than challenging Musashi. I very much enjoyed the return of Matahachi too, whose life has pretty much ended up in the gutter. Again, he's still a really human character andis shown as struggling to deal with his own failings. Now I need to buy more in the series though...

[Sara · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5

While volume two was full of emotional turmoil and revelations, volume three has the characters resting on a plateau. A little plateau with violent geologic activity, but still a plateau. Takezou has arrogantly traveled to Kyouto to test his strength against the master of a renown house. Little does he know his old friend, Matahachi, is also in Kyouto and is leading a sorry life full of regret. This volume is full of both characters' strife while I'm assuming the next volume will be full of their efforts to correct themselves. If this pattern of challenge-train-challenge-train continues, I'm going to have to draw comparisons to pokemon's gym leader battles.

4.7⭐
This is really fun to read & would recommend you to read a manga of your vibe if you're in a slump!

So the story continues, Takezo has finally defeated his demons and is reborn to go serve his purpose in life....

This review will be really short, all that you need to now is that friends reunite, possibly lovers too, challenge is found and the player is ready!

I can't wait to continue the series!

[Annchan Maulana · Rating 3 out of 5]

its for adult because this book is much of blood and complicated character. this series is tell about Tokunaga-era Japan, a new government that has just taken power and the land. A young man sets out on a journey seeking spriritual enlightement by way of the soword, prepared to slay anyone who gets in his way.... but sometime with empty brain and brutality way >.<
