What. That's it!? No epilogue or anything? No Juubee using the reincarnation himself to rebirth his body like in the other manga!?

It was a cool duel tho. I had to reread several times to understand Juubee cut the oar in one swoop.

Again, thanks for working on this. Despite everything, this was awesome. The action was way improved compared to Y+M.

Glad to see someone enjoyed this as much as we did... Wonder if Segawa Masaki will ever do the next part of the trilogy and how different it can be from the one Ishikawa Ken did. They clearly have different interpretations. Would be epic ngl... Also wonder how all these works differ from the actual novels that Yamada Fuutarou wrote. Hope you had a fun read and don't forget to check on basilisk as well, since you seem to like these type of stories.

Thanks for the translation. I enjoyed this manga. Tho it feels it could use a short epilouge but all in all it was good read. Action scenes were done well, sword fights weren't long duels but quick and extremely lethal. First one to make mistake, to be overconfident and underestimate thier opponent was one to die. As it should be when we see two swordmasters coliding in a fight to the death.

And it is always a treat to look at Segawa Masaki art. Especially art of women.

I thought the ending serene and "felt" appropriate despite lacking that closure which comes with an epilogue. Kneeling on that soft sand as the waters lap the shrinking island, tears streaming down his face... it's like, a long pent up sigh of relief and gratitude, finally let out.

I've seen these sort of abrupt endings before in older media, like kung fu flicks - the journey was the thing. You had to have your final showdown, of course, but now that it's done... it's done. At any rate, most everyone died along the way anyway.

Musashi... I got the impression he could have ended Jubei whenever and however he wanted if he was serious from the beginning, especially when he mentioned how Kojirou struggled and expended his energy just finding the right footing. On a minor note... I thought Musashi's boatman was going to be the penultimate death in the series, but nope, old guy had enough sense to push off. I suppose old man Yagyuu was the other guy that probably would have beaten Jubei straight up.

Well, a fun ride while it lasted, and it's a treat to read these volume by volume. Thanks and see you down the road.

I think the final message in the novel is not very well represented in the manga because of the way the manga has to be broken up into chapters in the website. During the original Funashima fight Kojiro chastised Musashi's "Art of War" as basically MacGyvering his way into victory in a way that would have sounded like cheating to samurai. Well, this has also been the way Jubei fought throughout this entire manga. Jubei has been using Musashi's art of war. So in the final confrontation, the fight was decided with a plain, straight samurai-style cut. No tricks, no subterfuge, no complications. Just cut the oar and reach the target. Against an enemy capable of infinite complexity and unimaginable adaptability, only the simplest method works.

I have a soft spot for Futaro, yeah, and indeed I had a fun read.

I personally found the original Basilisk traumatizing but I'll try to get into its sequel series.

Again, thank you very much for working on this.
