VerifiedThe insane force and immense sense of energy, it's a wow, you're going to think what if it really exists in the real world. This anime gonna make you question reality if scientists also think the same thing as they do in this anime series, because of that it's 10/10.

VerifiedPacked with action and intensity. Watching Musashi explore the modern world while Baki learns from him being the strongest samurai is really engaging. The fight scenes hit hard, and the background music makes everything feel even more intense.
kento
VerifiedA lot of Baki memes in the background atmosphere and Hanayama has an insane amount of screen presence. The humour is spot on, there are no misses with the jokes. The voice acting of the narrator and the pacing enhance its impact even more.

VerifiedMusashi’s aura makes everyone stop and think about what “real mastery” even means in the first place. It's surprisingly introspective now that I think about it.

VerifiedHigh-ranking officials try to contain him. It’s a masterclass in tension, proving that a sword in the hands of a master is more "modern" than any firearm—further proof at how terrifying Musashi could be in combat.

VerifiedThis episode leans more into the philosophical side, reflecting on what mastery truly means. Kinda poignant.

VerifiedI wonder if Baki will incorporate what he learns i.e. Kata into modern day martial arts, and what direction Musashi will go into; does he want to find a strong opponent? get stronger? Hoping to see an expansion of this!

VerifiedHaving Musashi escape and demonstrate his abilities on civilians emphasized how otherworldly he is, while alerting and bringing more characters into the story!

VerifiedThough I still don't really understand the concept of his phantom slashes, Musashi is impossibly strong. Looking forward to seeing how Baki will learn from him and improve.

VerifiedThe flashback scene was perfectly placed, as well as the narrations in this episode. The anticipation building is consistent since the past couple of episodes too.

VerifiedA thought-provoking episode. It makes you think whether the story-writing was intentional or not, regarding the characters not really caring about everything else, as long as their goals are achieved. But that's too much thinking tho if you just want to see some action
hellozaworldo
VerifiedNot sure if Tokugawa thought it out about having Musashi back in the world. Good writing though if that's the case as it aligns with his character.
marin_coser
VerifiedA little confusing. More talking than fighting, but I get that they’re setting up motivations.
nekokurarisu
VerifiedNot bad. Slower pace, but it adds layers to the characters and the arc. So it's still a watch!
crybabytodoroki
VerifiedDefinitely a philosophical episode but I like the depth. A bit slower than usual, but interesting all in all
sandaime
VerifiedNot only did Baki and Musashi face off again in this episode, but it also gave us Musashi’s perspective on the modern era. The way it was delivered was done really well and it was very fitting.
reirei
VerifiedThis was a great episode, especially in how Musashi’s perspective on the modern world was portrayed. It also showed how Baki was affected by the legendary strongest samurai's resurrection.
katana
VerifiedWhat’s with the long name when it’s basically just a jab? Lol. This episode was insane, though—so intriguing and thrilling. On a side note, how will Musashi even adjust to the modern world?

VerifiedThe kata explanation adds conceptual depth, though the terminology can feel dense. Idk it's just me
homotron3799
VerifiedThe technique name alone deserves jail. This show is unserious and I respect it.
EPISODE CONTEXT
Trade fast action for philosophical depth as Musashi’s insights into modern mastery and his character unfold, making this slower-paced episode a recommended watch.
