After enduring an interminably long blistering stare contest with his opponent, our hero Musashi finally dropped the stick wielding hobo with a single strike, and thus reclaimed the title of the most unkempt ronin in Japan.

Of course, when Musashi realized that his opponent could read his mind, Musashi knew instantly that he would be victorious in this battle. He knew this because Musashi never fights with a set plan or strategy: he reacts to his opponent spontaneously and naturally. Meanwhile, his opponent is fixated upon the external world for his cue when and how to attack. In a strange way, his opponent's greatest strength is also his greatest weakness. When the leaf touches the ground, Yuki strikes but Musashii instantly counters. The leaf is simply a symbol of the external world. Yuuki's strategy depends on studying his opponent, while Musashi employs the no-mind of Zen which is a mirror. Yuuki never had a chance. In his last seconds of consciousness, Yuuki asks if Musashi read his mind. Musashi replies that no, the leaf told him, meaning that it was Yuki's penchant for waiting for an external cue, i.e. reading someone's mind, that determines the outcome.

However, according to sources Musashi almost always devised clever strategies before entering duels. Arriving too late to anger or too early to surprise to gain the upper hand in psychological warfare. Also improvising a taller bokken from an oar and taking the sun behind him when confronting Kojiro this is a pretty elaborate strategy.

Musashi was not distracted, but Katayama might be distracted, thinking that he would win first. But Musashi knew that when the leaf fell on the ground, Katayama would definitely take action, so he already knew of the best timing to deliver the killing strike.

@El Pacificador I've read it, and honestly I'm not sure if this should be taken seriously of if it's just a giant trolling game. On the one side they're saying reasonable things and it looks like it's trying to make an argument for logic, deductive reasoning and a world-view based on evidence... but at the same time they're saying that every human already lived several times as a "lesser lifeform" to even become human. And on top of that, they're really trying hard to look scientific but hilariously fail at that (e.g. equating consciousness with energy as defined by theoretical physics and even trying to link it to Newton's third law of motion). From what I see, it just a product of “too much thinking”, trying to justify what the author think about “truth”. Problem is, the author doesn't even understand the difference between existence and immortality and already has a pre-determined “truth”.

He let Yuuki come to him while Mushashi was engaged in one of the Five Stances, the Fifth Fundamental, and utilizing a "no thought-no concept". Mushashi's inner voice was a cue for Yukki to react...Mushashi realized this and became a mind of no thought. Having his mind not fixed is his advantage "...The effort not to stop the mind in just one place-this is discipline. Not stopping the mind is the object and essence. Put nowhere, it will be everywhere...If the mind is not restricted to just one direction, it will be in all ten." Yuuki waited for confirmation to attack, the fallen leaf hitting the ground ( a previous commenter's observation) and he announced it with his scream and step towards Mushashi. Yukki was over reached in his body. How wasn't Mushashi going to win?! And Yuuki's hair was a mess, LOL.

You also need to see your opponent and imagine how he will fight and construct a narrative for the fight where you will win. There are so many different ways to create that winning narrative, a person's creativity and spirit will naturally shine through. That's the art.

Shout out to @marko19914 who I think explains well the "the leaf let me in" sentence, my interpretation of it as follows (probably everybody knows this by now and I'm repeating myself and everything but, if so please bare with me): I think the leaf represents the principle of what in Aikido is called Irimi, which is the idea of getting into your opponents blind spot while stepping forward, outside the line of attack of the opponent. This is done in order to not receive the attack and move into the open spot of your opponent after the strike as an advantageous attack position(although in Aikido this is used to perform the technique, not to attack). The leaf highlights the attack line, which is being telegraphed as well by Katayama's pose. Musashi realizes about this and he decides to go outside the attack line and forward, striking Katayama. "The leaf let me in" is a poetic way of explaining this and adding drama ofc. If I'm wrong please let me know, thanks haha.

You might be right about the stance telegraphing possible suichoku giri from jodan. Might have been carried away by the shinto mysticism in this sentence + I guess they Katayama replying to his thoughts as if they were said aloud would support that as well.

Good! there is some truth there in that a technique is concern. However Minamoto Musashi main power for all his victories is the state of empty mind stale, like a true zen master. I think He is acting free and spontaneous to the challenge knowing that his mastering of body and mind will act accordantly. In this duel he did open the guard to his right side and wait for Katayama to strake first. Miyamoto Musashi moved to the right side to avoid the strake and in the same time passed the sword from the right to the left behind his head strait to the from head of Katayama. The leaf is a sort haiku for the state of freedom and spontaneity of the “empty mind” This how I see it (I practice aikido and the five stands of Miyamoto Musashi I hope I understood)

Yes, I think that you are right. The Aikido's (better Daito's) Irimi principle, in this case, is applied within the SenSen timing after Metsuke (deep looking) principle.

I watched this entire series a few years back (except the second to the last episode which was not on the list, and which sucked because a big confrontation was being set up). It was amazing. I don't speak Japanese and still don't, but after watching 50 something hours, I was starting to understand what they were saying before the subtitles came up. I was not so much understanding the specific words as much as the sentiment and who the person was talking about. Did I mention this was amazing?

Nope. He lost only one duel which was against Muso Gonnosuke. But he did win the first time round against him. In the rematch, Muso Gonnosuke came armed with a short staff called a Jo and defeated Musashi with it. And after that, Gonnosuke created his martial school called the Shinto Muso Ryu which focused on the use of the Jo. And is still being taught in Japan and around the world today

@@jwgoon There is no evidence outside of the schools teaching Jo techniques, that would profit from such a claim, that a second duel ever even took place, let alone that Musashi was defeated. Whatever happened was 500 years ago, so without multiple sources independently claiming it, there is no way to reasonably conclude it as fact. It is much more likely that this did not happen than did. But, 500 years later, we'll never know.

Seeing as mind games are also a part of swordplay and effective combat, this is not about pretentiousness, nor is it even about mind reading; it's about the state of mind of the two leading into their duel. The one used a bit of trickery that he's probably used in countless duels since realising he was an imposing figure, pretending to read his opponent's mind, Musashi ignored his trickery, whose purpose was to create self-doubt and unnecessary mental static before their fight. Since the correct answer is either seeing through it or ignoring it, Musashi won out. The falling leaf bit was just to throw his nonsense back into his face in a way he'd be thinking about for years.

So I think I've figured it out. Katayama killed himself here. When he fixated on the leaf Musashi inferred from it that when that leaf was going to touch the ground he was going to strike. So Musashi infers based off his current guard what possible strikes that Katayama would do when he would strike making impossible for Musashi not to be able to counter strike. Now... It would be ridiculous to assume that Katayama was basing his attack timing off of a leaf, however this is where he nails another nail in his coffin. In his dialogue with Musashi he demonstrates that despite being wild and unkempt he was actually quite poetic by nature calling themselves demons. Poetic enough to allow a leaf to decide the fate of the duel.
@Jamhael1
2 жыл бұрын
Hmmm... the poetic nature of Katayama was, in the end, the weak spot in his strategy. Besides, what better way to make a beautiful, almost artistic way of killing, then to be at moment when a leaf that had fallen from a tree touches the ground? Musashi was not simply a strategist or a swordsmen, the guy was a detective making sheer psychological analysis of their adversaries based on their behaviour and attitudes towards him. Sun Tzu would be proud of him, that is for sure, because Musashi followed the greatest rule of the Art of War to perfection: "Know the enemy and know thy self, and even if you fight a thousand battles, you will always be victorious".
