Vagabond Volume 15


Esse volume vai dos cap 138 ao 143 e finaliza o arco do Kojiro eu particularmente gostei muito de acompanhar essa história desse personagem em paralelo com a história do Musashi pra mim ficou claro que eles vão se enfrentar muito em breve e depois de mostrar o desenvolvimento desse personagem mal posso esperar pra ele e o Musashi se enfrentarem com tudo o que eles tem e esse foi outro bom volume de Vagabond.

The manga-ka is doing a great job of building up the back story of the man who would be Musashi's rival. Both of them had challenging childhoods but despite Kojiro's disability, he's a stark contrast to the "demon-child" Musashi. Kojiro is turning to be a likable guy.

Best fight in the series so far, bar none. Bloody, brutal, and for a cause everyone can get behind - rather than fighting for the sake of fighting, we have a genuine dickweed to bring down.

Easily worth an extra half-star all on its own.

The best quotation of this volume:

"I'm not teaching you the sword... I made up my mind when I saw the way you attacked Fudô even after he was already dead...There's a beast inside you...No, even a beast wouldn't do that...Kojiro...I won't allow that madness within you to awaken (...)"

I thought without musashi these volumes would be lame, but it amazes me how good inoue can tell a story.
Loved it.

I'm loving this arc more and more. The relationship between the step-father and Kojiro is really touching and perfect in many ways.

So we are continuing the Kojima tale and we see his first near kill followed by a change in fortune for himself and his dad . Emotional moments and cool action sequence exist but overall , i am still iffy . Especially considering that it's 10 chapters could easily be compressed into 2 chapters at best . Heck we could have easily compressed it as a flashback monologue.

That Fudo is fucking creepy just like a zombie. I am starting to like Kojiro now.

Kojiro grew up and have desired the training of swords skill by his father who is actually not real father but he has kept denying to teach. That's why Kojiro has learnt the swords skill himself by looking. I'm really looking forward to seeing how strong he is.

کوجیرو با اینکه کره، یکی از بهترین شخصیت پردازیا داره براش اتفاق میوفته.فکر میکردم بدون موساشی داستان خوبی نشه ولی ساید استوری فوق‌العاده‌ایه.

Still with Sasaki Kojiro.
His first cut was awesome but what came after that was :/ didn't he understand or that was the monster inside.

I saw the way you attacked Fudô even after he was already dead...There's a beast inside you...No, even a beast wouldn't do that.

Anyways it was a graphic fight.
Amazing Artwork.

Continúa la historia del espadachín sordomudo y ponedor más querible y temible que haya dado la historia del manga.
Y también está linda la entrevista a Inoue del final del tomo.

La obra nos sigue mostrando la vida de Kojiro Sasaki, algo que comenzó en el tomo anterior y que durará todavía unos cuantos más hasta el momento en el que lleguemos a la actualidad y volvamos a encontrarnos con Musashi.

En este tomo se nos muestra el paso de niño a adolescente de Kojiro, para ver cómo a pesar de ser sordo su carisma intrínseco y habilidad en la esgrima le hará ganarse el respeto y amistad de los chicos del poblado, con el joven Kameki a la cabeza, así como su atractivo natural le hace ganarse el favor de las mujeres.

Durante esta privilegiada y feliz juventud a pesar de su condición podemos ver cómo Jisai ejerce de figura paterna y va cambiando su vida entera para darle todo lo que esté en su mano... lo que le lleva a enfrentarse al señor Fudo, un diestro samurai que ha caído en la locura y tiene sometido al pueblo. Sin embargo, Kameki y Kojiro también piensan enfrentarse a él...

Otro buen tomo de dibujo excepcional en el que Inoue nos va narrando la vida de este chico de forma inmejorable.

Continúa la historia de Kojiro, el futuro rival de Musashi, y vemos su primera "pelea" con Fudo, un guerrero viejo que salvó al pueblo una vez, para después convertirse en una especie de dictador local. Me gusta mucho Jisai, con sus dudas y todo, y me hicieron reir mucho los ataques sorpresa de Kojiro y los "¡No te voy a enseñar a usar la espada!", creo que Jisai tiene una buena razón para no hacerlo.

This volume was all Kojiro and Jisai, which was another good volume. It was very cool seeing Jisai being driven to tap into his inner swordsman once again and then also seeing Kojiro unleashing a beast like entity on the corpse of Fudo, revealing to Jisai how dangerous Kojiro could be. Jisai has seemingly developed a small fear for what Kojiro could become and he is hopeful he can take necessary action to prevent him from being a full fledged beast. Excited to see more.

Oh my fucking god, i want to give these past two volumes a 6/5 cos jesus christ the attachment i feel to this psuedo-family, the struggle of learning how to live without the sword, to live for family, is just told incredibly, and again Inoue's visual storytelling is unmatched.

To see right through a sword, one must turn off all background noise of the mind.
