Bunnet said:I have to say one the most fascinating aspect of Vagabond is Musashi himself, as different from many other character that are in the stereotype of strongest warrior are normally single minded. While he can learn new battle tactics and even come to understand deep knowledge.
even so at the end of the day he is quite shallow
Not saying Tenma is an example to live by but Musashi is not the greatest person I really prefer Takuan as person as he even thought Musashi about what is life, death and what it means to take a life. You have to say before that Musashi was not the best person and after that his one goal is to battle, he does care for people but takes so long for him to demonstrateTh3Branded0ne said:Considering that he was in fact a real swordsmen, a historical figure. I would admit he is fascinating and legendary. Although, not every single detail is written, there's still enough proof of his greatness.
YEah, risking your life to achieve the goal of being the greatest swordsman ever is sure shallow. Musashi why didn't you just turned out like Tsujikaze Tenma. There's a real role model.

宮本 武蔵 said:Musashi's not there yet, he's come close, it's been right on the tip of his tongue, he knows something's not quite right, especially after killing 70 men, but he still hasn't quite been able to admit he's been wrong; instead, despite his insights, his vague questioning of himself, he's yet to answer, instead he's always returned to form... like Matahatchi used to do. But, like Matahatchi, like all of us, he can still overcome, no matter how many setbacks, relapses, or new mistakes it might take. There's some Matahatchi in all of us, even Musashi, and that's not necessarily a bad thing.
Walter said:Comes out Tuesday. Gentlemen, place your orders!
Mine is shipping along with Berserk vol 29, which is currently out of stock so ... whoops. I'm really looking forward to those extra pages though.宮本 グリフィス said:Some great dialogue, especially between Musashi and Takuan, and a whopping 4 extra pages added to that section alone, most of it further illustrating Takuan's literal enlightenment. Anyone else gotten it yet and noticed something new or different from your initial expectations? Grovel? Wally?

Grovel said:I have not been following the fan translations recently (mainly because the site where I was getting them stopped doing them!) so it was all new to me. Nice to have a completely fresh volume to read though, without being corrupted or confused by imperfect translations.
宮本 グリフィス said:That's true, but I actually like getting the added perspective of the alternate translations, even if the quality leaves something to be desired overall. It gives you a different look at the material and can clarify and add depth to one's understanding of specific parts where a different translating choices could be made.
Grovel said:I can agree with that too, in fact you have inspired me to get my lazy arse into gear and am currently searching out the latest translations.
Grovel said:I am right up to date now thanks, it's nice to keep on top of developments. (awesome emoticon by the way)
Grovel said:Nothing beats getting a new volume in my hands though, not too long to wait now for vol 30 (from Amazon Nov 17th!)
Grovel said:On a side note, does anyone have any of the Japanese volumes? - I wondered how they compared to the Viz editions quality wise. I would think that there shouldn't be too much difference (unlike the Dark Horse Berserk volumes) as the Viz copies seem to be such sharp and clear prints.
Walter said:For Vagabond, the Viz editions are much more true to the japanese versions in quality than the shift in quality for Berserk between Dark Horse and the japanese versions.
Walter said:I actually like Viz' editions better than the japanese ones personally. The cover is of higher-stock paper. More sturdy and high-quality. And Im at work now and cant do a direct cross-comparison, but Id even say the paper quality is better in the Viz versions.
グリフィス said:Haha, thank you, and I have to ask what you think of Musashi's latest predicament?
