Musashi and Kojiro

Athena 2022-01-20 08:03:30

Kojiro was simple enough, he felt that he was just killing people who wanted to kill him, killing people in self-preservation, and he would not feel guilty. And Musashi killed many people in order to become stronger. He felt that he was guilty, and the sense of guilt lingered in his heart, troubled, confused, and aggravated his confusion. The sense of guilt stems from moral education. It can be said that the transformation process of Musashi was hand-in-hand education and guidance by Sawaan Yinrong and others, and there is no lack of moral consciousness injection, especially Sawaan. However, it is difficult for Kojiro to say very much. What Kojiro gave him is family affection, but he seldom talks about moral right and wrong, and Ito ignores these things even more. Therefore, it can be said that the two were beasts when they first met in Sekihara. Later, Musashi was no longer a beast, but Kojiro did not change much.

    Musashi Miyamoto (Takezo): [choking back sobs] Do you hate me?

    Otsu: Once. But now...

  • Takuan Osho: [watching Takezo climb up the wall to try and free Otsu] Are you still an animal?
