OTSU. my precious girl who deserves happiness like no one else in the world.
PROTECT. RESPECT. CHERISH. LOVE.
that fucking reunion. I’m in tears. I need more otsusashi in my life.

Musashi takes on four of the Yagyu clan's best swordsmen and more than holds his own. Also, Musashi and Otsu meet again after years and the electricity can be felt even in the pages. This is all made possible by the storytelling skills of the manga-ka.

Vagabond Volume 10


Esse volume vai dos cap 88 ao 97 e continua mostrando na sua busca por lutar com o mais forte dessa nova escola e aqui mostra como ele amadureceu em tão pouco tempo depois treinar com o mestre do Ishun e como eles está mais calmo durante as lutas e tivemos aqui finalmente o reencontro dele com a Otsu e embora foi no final do volume já deu um gostinho de como vai ser a dinâmica deles depois quando estiverem conversando após as lutas e estou torcendo para eles serem um casal.

Long-awaited reunion.

[David · Rating 5 out of 5]

Terrific artwork, maybe the best artwork of all the volumes so far. The 10th volume also remains mostly true to the story of the novel. That's always a big plus in my eyes. I don't mind the mangaka giving it his own touch as long as he doesn't come up with entirely new characters/story arcs like in some of the previous chapters.

Too bad Musashi's reunion with the master had to be cut short.

[灰 · Rating 4 out of 5]

My precious Otsu. I love love LOVE her! She’s so beautiful and her and Musashi together are so wholesome. This reunion is what I need in life. But man, my guy has resorted to his bloodlust again🤦🏾‍♀️ his path is far greater then just physical strength but he’s so blinded by the strength of others ugghh

THE REUNION I WAS WAITING FOR DSFJSS FINALLY

[ki]

“A battle. Not a competition nor a match over technique, but a fight for one's life. So that's what you want, Musashi. That's what you mean by battle.”

“Thank you, old man. I have four expert swordsmen before me, but I don't feel I'll lose. Thank you, Inshun. You're all living inside of me, as if you’re a part of me.”

“Matahachi's face, I can't remember what he looks like. But Takezo, I know exactly how he looks. I think of him every night.”

[Dr Rashmit Mishra · Rating 5 out of 5]

At times this book makes me question, is Musashi the good guy in all of this ? The guy who barges in to create chaos , to instigate brawls and murders at places which had been at peace for decades just so he can prove to himself that he is invincible under the sun . Killing without just cause , breaking peace , using dirty tactics like attacking while one is asleep , or throwing sand at opponents eye ... These are all Musashi and these are all traits of a very lowly human and yet the story manages to make you root for him .

Musashi encuentra en las acciones de su discípulo la forma de provocar un enfrentamiento con los cuatro pilares principales de Yagyu, y su búsqueda por Sekushusai, "el mejor de todos" termina en el reencuentro más esperado por toda latinoamérica unida. Que emoción <3

Oh my god, OTSU AND TAKEZO

In Vagabond Vol. 10, Musashi learns the hard way that the most dangerous weapon in a master's arsenal isn't a sword—it’s a sense of humor. As he finally infiltrates the Yagyu estate, the "invincible" protagonist is forced to confront the reality that he is a high-strung amateur in a world of relaxed geniuses. The intellectual pivot here is brilliant: while Musashi is busy tensing every muscle for a legendary showdown, the legendary Sekishusai is busy sleeping and playing with his grandson. It’s a humbling spiritual slap to the face that suggests true mastery isn't a state of constant readiness, but a state of unimpeded flow. Musashi’s intellect tells him to look for a monster, but his spirit is baffled to find an old man who has transcended the need for conflict entirely.

The volume leans into the wit of the "Old Man" archetype, using Sekishusai’s effortless presence to mock Musashi’s rigid intensity. There is a profound realization that Musashi is "small" precisely because he is trying so hard to be "big." Inoue uses the physical space of the Yagyu dog and the simple architecture of the estate to mirror Musashi's internal labyrinth; he is literally and figuratively lost in a house where the doors are already open. By the time Musashi comes face-to-face with the "Invincible" master, the encounter becomes a lesson in non-duality: the idea that the hunter and the hunted are one and the same. It turns out that being a "Vagabond" isn't about the distance you travel, but about the layers of self-importance you manage to drop along the way.

The reunion of Musahi and Otsu has my heart.
I really wish for Otsu to live a happy and peaceful life.

The storytelling is so good. How did the author draw those emotions.
