Yu Yu Hakusho surprisingly has different layers to it, as do most classic manga from 1990s. It starts out seeming like a kids story but by the time the dark tournament rolls around things get brutal and graphic. (The orange haired person on the cover of that img is the main characters female love interest.)

Battle Angel Alita was way ahead of its time and deals with AI, machines taking over, etc. It is very brutal, graphic and disturbing. Yet raises interesting questions and has a unique story to tell.

There is a character from YYK named Hiei who Masashi Kishimoto partially based Sasuke Uchiha after. Etc.

Also know how Vegeta holds his left arm when he's injured? That is a reference to Hokuto No Ken (Fist of the North Star).

Mangakas recycle a lot of stuff.

Vegabond had a very interesting feeling, I did not finish it though, I got bored at the point where Musashi simply was wandering off and keeping low profile in farms or whatnot..

Musashi is famous for being something like 60 wins - 0 losses in duels to the death.

Famous for killing opponents wielding swords using wooden oars, etc.

I read his "Book of 5 Rings" very interesting.

Me too, and he was strongly influenced on Buddhist teachings on that as well. He should have some other books but I don't know them. The only problem of him is that no student of his was able to learn a nonnegligible thing from him, so it eludes me how much of a good teacher he is, and consequently, the extent of significant things from his style reflected on his books. I would like to have more absolute correct things, records about his life and encounters/style.

I think I saw scav react to a profile post recently, was nice seeing him around, was one of the old members I recalled from my first stint in MH.

And regarding the manga Vagabond, it is a masterpiece imho. Inoue at his best. The art is sublime. The humanly aspect is sensational. I love the Musashi / Sasaki stories.
It doesn't get better than this.

I still liked those parts as well. Unfortunately I stopped collecting at some point so I haven't finished it either, but I will, definitely. Too good of a read to never finish it. If only for the quality of the art.

afaik, Musashi's thing was sharpening focus every second of every day. Leveraging rather than deviating from natural principles. Etc.

But yeah he himself admits -it is possible- his opponents were not that skilled. There probably wasn't anything resembling structured or balanced training in those days. It may have been a lot like the early days of UFC where a lot of people didn't know how to train properly. And so the skill gap was a lot larger than one might expect.

Musashi also was known to show up late for duels. Which had to mess with his opponents heads, to say the least.
