The climax was absolutely superb, but man did it take a long time to get there.

women characters are flat as ever. not a thing beside wanting men. mushashis later life and his drive towards peaceful cultivating life is shown better here. less duel like than the first. barely a sense of blood lust like 2. this time i think its about his peace and growing out of his wildness and anger

The saga was good and how it ends, but the soap opera between Akemi, Otzu and Musashi takes 3 movies to be resolved, too long.

The original title of the film is Miyamoto Musashi Kanketsuhen Kettô Ganryûjima.

Collapses on the ground sobbing…I love these movies!
