Production [ edit ] While borrowing content from the Musashi novel, Takehiko Inoue took liberties when writing Vagabond, most notably the fight between the protagonist and the 70 Yoshioka which was one of the hardest to draw.

Though he is a very likeable character with a nonchalant air to his movements in battle, I would have to say his development thus far is subpar compared to the other characters. To be honest, I would say there's a dozen other characters better written than him (well, that may be a slight exaggeration). For example, here's someone highly overlooked by fans of the story that I believe to have better development than Kojirou: Yoshioka Denshichirou. His development, from the time of his first real battle against Kojirou to his final one against Musashi, is phenomenally written and planned out. His understanding of not using his father's name as a shield against those who see less of him, yet his unyielding love and aspiration to be like his father, combines perfectly into one in his final moments. His death, standing straight up with his sword in the air, portrays his victory in the war against himself, while Musashi stands before him, victorious, but still struggling and fighting his own internal battles.

Overall, the story was phenomenal and a worthy 5 star, 10/10 rating for me. Knowing that it probably won't be continued, with the story's hiatus gaining on 6 years and showing no signs of returning, I can't say the ending we were given was satisfactory, especially considering how there's not even a "partial conclusion" like in the Hunter x Hunter show, and it instead abruptly ends with Musashi's arrival at the castle. There's so much more to be played out for us, so much more that needs explaining, but understanding that the author may not wish to continue this series is just as important as understanding the series itself. Inoue's "Real" graphic novel series is currently being released, so he hasn't quit the manga industry for sure, but there's absolutely no guarantee that he will return to Vagabond. One can hope, though, that we will one day see Musashi's fated battle of the "invincibles under the sun" against Kojirou and his reunion with Otsuu and Joutarou. When your life is truly on the line and every movement that you make could potentially be your last, you need to be extra sure of every action you make and if your soul wavers in the heat of battle you're liable to lose your life. Every character has their reasoning for what is necessary to conquer the heat of battle, so when a brawl ensues it's less a battle of swords but more a battle of spirit and ideology.

Vagabond is simply the work of an angel. The artwork is extremely detailed and there were many close ups of Takezo that looked almost real. The character development (or under development in Matahachi’s case) was pleasing to witness as Takezo has many chances to learn something new and he takes each and every one.Grand Prize - Vagabond | Award | Manga Division | 2000 [4th] Japan Media Arts Festival Archive".

We should not necessarily see them as bad or something to avert.
