Fix your mood, Souji. If you want to know, I’m willing to share my thoughts on the strongest swordsman! If it’s a story about overwhelming power, I won’t take part in that. I’d really like to know who “Hijikata-san’s pick” is for the Tokugawa family’s swordsmanship instructor. Who do you think it is? Souji thinks it’s Mori no Ishimatsu, but I definitely recommend Yagyu Munenori! His strength is monstrous! During the Summer Siege of Osaka, he single-handedly defeated seven spear-wielding warriors in a desperate charge led by Kimura Nagamon!
Of course! I want to know about the recommended picks from the Japan Otaku Reviews thread!
Buppōji Yasukore
The anecdotes are too strong, but even if you have the ability, if you’re a fool, you won’t be remembered in history, which is what I like about its transient nature.
Iba Hachirō
After all, the one-armed sword master.
Is Morino Ishimatsu really that strong?
Hikida Toyogoro
Even if I’m called a superficial person, Nobutsuna Kamizawa.
The person who walks around carrying gauntlets and catches swords with them.
I really like Sasaki Tadamitsu from the same era and similar organization, the Mimura-gumi.
Taniguchi Eisuke
>>9I couldn’t hear well.
>>14Tani Eisei
>>9What?
Haruzou Momoi
I was beaten up in Ken-go 2.
Mushin Katori Tsuruhara Bokken
Ashikaga Yoshiteru, a disciple of Bokuden, who was also recommended by Munenori.
Who is Ishimatsu?
>>13The original source of “Fools won’t change unless they die.”
>>13A person who was a subordinate of Jirocho Shimizu.
Iron Ship
Karasuma Bunmaru
Susumu Oishi
There were many swordsmen during the Bakumatsu period, weren’t there?
The strongest of the Bakumatsu era is too numerous to laugh.
>>20It’s the period of upheaval with the most recorded history.
>>21Since the battles were fought mainly in towns and homes rather than on the battlefield, it was also a time in history when swords and swordsmanship were refined the most.
Is Minamoto no Yoshitsune a swordsman?
Kawakami Hikosai! Kawakami Hikosai!
Yagyu Ienaka
Mochi Okada Izō
After all, I cut people with bamboo!
Tsuji-giri Hirai Gonpachi
It’s Araki Mataemon, right?
Aisu Ikousai
Matsubayashi Benya Saito
Since I’m categorized as a swordsman in the Hero Wars, being a practitioner of the Yagyu Shinkage-ryu is fine, right?
Tachimi Kanzaburō
Edo Bakumatsu Sudden Mercenary War Volume 4 Aoi 136 Tatsu Manfuhē Tatsu Naofumi Tachimi Naofumi Unified Name: Tachimi Naofumi Birth and Death: 1845-1907 “Don’t be hasty, Raijin Squad.

Tachibana Dōsetsu
Who’s your top?
When it comes to a serious battle, you won’t be fighting with swords first, and if the situation calls for drawing a sword, you’re almost out of options…
So the story is that it’s amazing to be winning in the situation of the thread image.
Shishido Baiken and Tanshun shouldn’t be considered great swordsmen; it’s such a waste.
>>36Ume-ken is basically a fictional character!
It suddenly got wet.
It’s not so much a swordsman as it is a tengu, but it’s Shiken-in Kōsen.
Founder of Kanshin-ryu
I feel that the late Edo period was a time when being skilled with a sword could lead to success.
In reality, can the techniques of the sword win out over training hard to swing faster and stronger?
>>40I think it would be strong if you gathered a number of them and charged in.
Shigen-ryu
>>40It’s Western swordsmanship, but the Liechtenauer style is interesting.
It’s natural for the downstroke to be fast and heavy, so I will match it with the same weight of a downstroke to create an integrated offense and defense.
>>48I like how Richtenauer thinks that it’s only natural for each other to train their swings to the limit, and under those conditions, the one who anticipates and counters will win, which is a simple thought.
>>40In international kendo tournaments, foreign kendo practitioners tend to overpower us.
>>40You will understand when you deal with a high-level Kendo practitioner, old man.
The image in the thread is fiction, but it’s likely that such conversations actually took place in swordsmanship dojos during the Bakumatsu period.
Little do they know that they will eventually become the subject of discussion themselves.
That is bad.
Togo Shigei
Imagawa Raicho
I really like Okita of the Shinsengumi.
I might get made fun of a lot, but I really like Miyamoto Musashi…
In this work, Sasshi looked cool too.
I love killing people, especially in a spiritual way.
The Shishido Baiken model, or rather the superior version, is the Nio’s Shikensen Kosen.
In addition to the chain and sickle, I also wield a sword and naginata and practice jujutsu.
Hayazaki Jinsuke
Iai is great, isn’t it…?
Shibusawa Kou who likes Miyamoto Musashi (Fate)
Kenki Sakakibara
Nakoruru
Kanishiro Yoshimura
Everyone must have been really muscular because they were swinging swords around.
Yakumo Kenkaku
Ito Ittosai!
Definitely, anonymous!
Support Ashikaga Yoshiteru!
>>63If you’re talking about having read Sengoku Yokko, it won’t get me excited.
“Are you a two-dimensional character?” said Julie D’Aubigny.
It’s really intense to win against Mune-rin’s spear with seven people.
Was Morino Ishimatsu and Okita almost contemporaries, but did I like them?
I wonder if we met somewhere and I became a fan.
I think swinging with all your might is too risky unless you can completely let go of everything else.
I wonder if there were any sword-saint noble families like General Karasuma in historical fact.
>>70Kitabatake Motonobu was a high-ranking noble and a swordsman.
>>70Kitabatake Akiie was technically not a member of the aristocracy, right?
This Okita Souji seems to have a sensibility that gives off a feeling of “a cool way of living as a rogue!”
You’re a Edo person, huh? The phrase “eat sushi” originally comes from Morino Ishimatsu.
In the rankings of the strongest swordsmen in history books, number one is generally considered to be Kizuirai Nobutsuna and Tsukahara Bokuden.
>>73Mr. Kamizawa’s anecdotes are just too interesting…
In terms of anecdotal coolness, Kunii Yoshimi is quite impressive too.
Kamikaze Nobutsuna, Tsukahara Bokuden, and Aizu no Ikosai have all come to embody the image of great swordsmen or even sword saints.
Nie Zheng
If we’re going to make a ranking, we have to come up with some kind of reasoning for not putting Uwaizumi in first place…
The people from some school in Kyushu also seem strong.
The image of the sword master Bokken and the sword saint Kamizumi.
Ashikaga Yoshitake is also a good general who fought in real battles.
After the banquet, all the attendants were in a state of heavy intoxication and were attacked by multiple assassins.
I also like Nagano people, like my boss at Kamizui.
