Unexpectedly, it was the young Mifune Toshiro who played Musashi, and he was better-looking afterwards with a beard. Musashi was originally a savage and lonely child in the country, with great power and tenacious vitality. In the war, his wild instinct to subdue everything and survive was vented in the fight. He avoided women, whether it was Zhu Shi who admired him with a girlish heart, A Jia who exuded the sensuality of a mature woman, or even A Yi in the secret corner of his heart.
A Yi turned out to be the fiancee of his partner Yuba, who enlisted with him, and the three of them were childhood sweethearts. A Yi is an orphan and grew up in a temple. In the movie, Ayi and Yohachi are very sweet and lingering. Later, I heard that Yohachi and Ajia are married and never come back. They fell in love with Musashi in despair and confusion. Although this change is a bit abrupt, it's still the past. I prefer a fragment in the book: When A Yi and the monk were vigil in the mountains waiting for Musashi, the monk asked A Yi why he liked Youba. A Yi said, "Because Mr. Wu grew up savagely and lonely, no one in the village paid attention to him, only kind-hearted people. Youba and Mr. Wu are dating." The monk was a little surprised and said, "Because Yuba likes Musashi, and you like Yuba, this reason is a bit strange." It can be seen that Youba and Musashi are both very important people in Ayi's heart, but for the time being. According to his different status, A Yi saw a person who liked Musashi as much as he did, and he developed so much trust that he became very determined after being betrayed.
In this film, Musashi was inspired by the monk and A Yi. After three years of practicing in seclusion, it can be said that his love for A Yi became the driving force for his growth. This is not in the comics. Musashi shouldn't allow himself to be a little concerned about Ayi, he just went into his own world like a dirty child, followed by Ayi's long footsteps. That Musashi still had no respect for gods or people, so A Yi's fate was even more wasted.
