INCREDIBLE translation of the martial arts terminology- felt smooth, practiced, and from a lifelong expert. Hyoudo is so damn cool. The slick motion of him drawing the branch that shows off the authors incredible grasp of flow.

"I may know all the secrets of martial arts, but... I've never heard of that rule before." so damn sick. I adore fighters in manga like that. It's a fight to the death. Use it or lose it.

I actually talked once about how Fujita illustrates flow in Silver Mountain. What I find really cool about its premise of two elderly martial artist turned into children, is their oversized suits, Hyoudou’s long hair and Gin’s ponytail, and the other dangling aspects of their designs (like very tight belts), means Fujita has to account a lot for how these things move as Hyoudou and Ginbei move around and direct their attacks. And one of the best parts of the manga is how well you can see all these dangling aspects of their designs move with their martial artist movements. It’s really well done, and adds to the essence of movement you get in the fight scenes.
