Aye. It reminded me of volume 5's front cover from what back when.Griffith No More! said:I like the cover too.
I too am curious about that. If I remember rightly, he's supposed to be on a hill, with a bunch of Yoshioka yojimbo.. but pages 10-11 didn't suggest that. Then again, it's been an awfully long time since I read the novel and we know Inoue isn't going page for page with his manga adaptation.Walter said:I noticed Inoue didn't bring (or at least hasn't shown yet) Denshichiro's son/the child heir of Yoshioka into this battle. Interesting.
Pretty sure the kid was near the tree in the novel.Uriel said:Then again, it's been an awfully long time since I read the novel and we know Inoue isn't going page for page with his manga adaptation.
He had it coming. He's also the leader, and best to take him out first, while he's still surprised at his sudden appearance.Oh and in response to your spoiler tag: that scene kind of shocked me. I wasn't sure who it was at first, but after reading over the chapter a second time, I was certain. I guess anyone is disposable in the wake of Musashi right now.
That shirt would be awesome if it didn't have MatahachiThis is somewhat unrelated to the topic of 225 -- but I saw this and realised that I must have one:
Griffith No More! said:New episode sheds some interesting light as usual. I wonder if Musashi was really even aware of Ueda.
Uriel said:When I finally got the new chapter, I was surprised to only see 14 pages.. but the last panel more than makes up for it.
Yeah, I'm also suspicious of the way Ueda was struck. It could play out in many ways. But I'm guessing with a portion of his skull missing, he's no longer able to hold a sword to any proficiency.Griffith No More! said:No, I was quite genuinely surprised; but, my reputation supercedes me. =)
Anyway, still wondering how this will play out, I don't think he can keep up this level of serenity for all of them; he's already arguably broken concentration on the last page, and Inoue may have left the door ajar for Ueda still.

I'm really starting to wish I didn't give my copy of the book away

Funkmasta Zeph said:So how many of the Ten Swordsman of Yoshioka are left now?
Uriel said:Chapter 228 was un-bloody-believable.
You might need to strike a few more names from that list, Griff
