If you like the story of Musashi check out the Samurai trilogy of movies starring Toshiro Mifune.

I already have, LOL!!!!!!

@OtakuASSEMBLE - Haha of course you have, good man! Mifune is a legend, did you know that Auron from Final Fantasy X was based off of him? Namely his character in Yojimbo/Sanjuro.

you kept my attention for the whole 26 .5 minutes, well done! I'm roughly at the same spot you were when you made this vid and it was neat hearing another fan's input on this amazing series, ^^ if you make a second review on this series I will surely watch it, GodSpeed bro.

@emoismyname721 Mifune playing Musashi = the best of all time playing the best of all time.

[CAZPERsayz]

yes but for some odd reason volume 16 is always hard to find or hard to buy....well the english that is

[deadicecold]

I read up to like chapter 280 it a very good manga lot of action, and story telling
