[The Old Man of the Countryside Becomes a Sword Saint] The reverse pattern is also possible.

The Master Swordsman becomes an OSSAN.

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx101

Relaxed slow life

2: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx67

It seems normal.

3: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

There was one about a female knight who runs a farm, right?

Is that how it feels?

4: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

I feel the sadness of life…

5: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx20

Isn’t this historical fact?

6: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx21

Is it about the business of swordsmanship?

16: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>6

Edo is… a rural area…?

28: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx13

>>16

It’s a countryside area.

7: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought it was Paul.

8: Japan Otaku Reviews

One day, a hero came to visit.

9: Japan Otaku Reviews

Yagyu is also in the countryside…

10: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>9

I’m Nara City, I’m Nara City.

11: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx23

Isn’t this a story like John Wick?

12: Japan Otaku Reviews

A country bumpkin.

To become an old man.

13: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

It’s Gigai from Vagabond.

14: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx34

In this case, “the old man from the countryside” doesn’t have a negative meaning, right?

It’s retirement from my position and becoming a recluse, you know.

15: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx18

The Sword Saint becomes a promising new ceramics artist.

17: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx33

Even though I’ve become a rural old man, my former subordinates keep bringing me one problem after another…

18: Japan Otaku Reviews

A threat approaching the countryside!

19: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx9

Hiko Seijuro…

20: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s great how a laid-back country guy can become incredibly strong when he takes up a sword…

21: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Sword Saint, in the countryside

Operate a guesthouse.

43: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>21

It will probably end up being something like “Yukemuri Sniper.”

22: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I suppose you climbed to power through your swordsmanship and received a small rural domain.

Like the successful Miyamoto Musashi.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel like it was that kind of story.

24: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Former hardcore players who are now casual players can be troublesome.

25: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Despite being clumsy, I am able to regain a normal heart thanks to the kindness of the neighbors!

Then burn the village.

27: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx24

>>25

Here it comes!

31: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

>>25

Indeed, this is also a common template.

26: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

Isn’t it a pattern where the old man who’s retired is strong?

29: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

This could be a topic for several stories in itself.

30: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

Political defeat!

86: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>30

Matorif…?

32: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Isn’t this really the story of an old man who wanted to do it this way?

33: Japan Otaku Reviews

The sword saint wants to live a slow life in the countryside.

34: Japan Otaku Reviews

Raleigh

35: Japan Otaku Reviews

I love the retired strong character position.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews

There seems to be about 30 works.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

Edo’s rural area → Hachioji → Tenjin Rishin-ryu → Burn, O Sword → Another World (Jidaigeki) Uncle

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

Opening a swordsmanship dojo…

42: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>38

I’m done with that kind of stuff, you know…

It’s nice to live by cultivating fields and raising cows.

53: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>42

Is your previous job a runaway ninja?

54: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>42

The carefully cultivated fields, the cows, and the villagers who were kind to strangers were all burned down.

I’m going to go seek revenge with a hoe and a sickle…

116: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>38

I want to leave that to my son and live quietly and freely in harmony with my young wife…

137: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>116

It’s completely turned into a sword-fighting business…

155: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>137

It’s nice to be stylish, knowledgeable, well-connected, and strong enough to take down a few rōnin with your bare hands…

39: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

You’ve just completely retired!

40: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

A man who has mastered the sword may find that a sword is ultimately just a weapon and as a result, there may be characters who go so far as to discard their weapons.

41: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Regardless of the fact that there was a sword saint in the countryside, what about those disciples?

Is it a land where swordsmen grow instead of wheat?

47: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>41

I came to learn from a famous swordsman because it’s relatively close to the city.

49: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>41

Only a few people have succeeded after moving to the city.

Most of them are living in the countryside, farming, learning to wield swords for self-defense, and occasionally hunting monsters.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews

📄 Bang

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s nice to be a recluse after facing setbacks.

46: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I want to relax, but it seems like I’m being pushed by my disciple.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews

Sword Saint, becoming an old man.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>48

Was she a beautiful girl?

55: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>52

Well, it might just be that I’ve simply gotten older.

50: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

The way you swing that hoe… I suspect you must be quite the swordsman! This is something I hear about once a week or so.

51: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s a story like “Samurai Business” or something like that, right?

56: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t this basically what happens when a daughter becomes an S-rank adventurer?

57: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

Seek the way!!

Well, I think…

58: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t it something like Himmel?

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

Star Wars…

60: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

What to do when you become an old man…

62: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>60

I want to try cross-dressing.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you meet a Buddha, kill the Buddha…

65: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>61

Zen, huh?

I have come to recognize you as a sword saint.

63: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

The manga “Shinazuhambe” was wonderful.

64: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s fine if a villager from a rural area is as strong as or even stronger than the sword saint old man!

67: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

This is generally a work by Shuhei Fujisawa.

70: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>67

What should I do? I’ll unleash my secret technique.

68: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

That’s nice.

An old man squinting as he watches the children playing around.

At the critical moment, I widen my eyes and cut down the threat that attacks the village with incredible swordsmanship.

79: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>68

The children are playing as they try to hit the falling leaves with a stick, when an old man suddenly cuts the leaves into four pieces with his cane… and a passing swordsman happens to see it…

69: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t this a story before the main part?

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

Once you pass 30, you’re just an old man.

72: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx11

I think it’s crazier that the sword saint guy’s shock from swinging a hoe made the fields go boom than anything else!

I prefer being told by farmers’ sons who don’t know me, “You’re great at swinging that hoe! You’ve got talent, old man!”

113: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

>>72

You’re terrible at swinging the old man’s hoe! I’ll teach you how to do it!

Hahaha! Sorry for being bad at this! Just teach me a little, will you?

I like it too!

73: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is it a secret sword with a pathetic name?

74: Japan Otaku Reviews

Active as a sword saint, brought peace, then retired after the peak of their career.

Isn’t this the best high?

78: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>74

While I was thinking that…

75: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s usually a terrible situation in the countryside.

76: Japan Otaku Reviews

Oda Nobunaga’s trusted aide was like this.

77: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

It was basically like that with Commando.

80: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Speaking of which, Rurouni Kenshin is a story about a swordsman who became a househusband in Tokyo.

81: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It seems like it can generally cover even Steven Seagal.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews

The knights’ leader, the top adventurer, and the strongest magician keep moving to the countryside, creating a harem.

83: Japan Otaku Reviews

It happens here and there, doesn’t it…?

84: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Sword master

Become a drag queen in Shinjuku Ni-chome.

90: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>84

The ultimate form of a strong flamboyant person…!

102: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>90

Hapshiel, huh?

131: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>84

That’s what dual-wielding is…

85: Japan Otaku Reviews

Sword to plowshare.

87: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>85

An old man strong enough to fight with a hoe.

88: Japan Otaku Reviews

A pattern where a rural area develops immensely and a pattern where it is burned down.

89: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

Isn’t this the final episode?

91: Japan Otaku Reviews

Whether to lead a slow life or become something SENKA.

92: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s okay to live leisurely for the rest of your life.

104: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>92

Haven’t the villagers at the foot of the mountain told you that there are demons up there?

93: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is it the Hidden Sword series?

94: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

In the countryside, you can meet people, but in a super rural area, you’ll only encounter raccoons and boars.

96: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>94

I honed my skills against someone who possesses powers beyond that of a human…!

95: Japan Otaku Reviews

Climbing the Sword Saint Mountain

97: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

One day, at a friend’s house, there is a scene at the climax where someone asks, “What is this sword used for?” while looking at a sword kept for self-defense.

135: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>97

Don’t steal Chinese legends!

98: Japan Otaku Reviews

Hey, you little troublemakers! This person is—!!

99: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even living in the countryside, there are times I go into town for shopping!

100: Japan Otaku Reviews

Zakken Sei

101: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t it just a banished-type slow life…?

103: Japan Otaku Reviews

On the way back from visiting an old friend.

You’re helping out a super strong female swordsman who is about to be ambushed by a bunch of guys, right?

105: Japan Otaku Reviews

The modern evaluation of Miyamoto Musashi is

It’s in calligraphy, not in swordsmanship…

106: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Sword Saint Returns to the Countryside

117: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>106

It seems like I worked hard enough to be simply called a sword saint, but it looks like I just went home after my role was completed.

107: Japan Otaku Reviews

Ultimately, it will lead to the establishment of a nation.

115: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>107

Hero Roto, huh…

108: Japan Otaku Reviews

Maybe they turned the capital into a rural area.

111: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>108

Relocation of the capital!?

109: Japan Otaku Reviews

Are you able to see through the gambling tricks played by the yakuza who came to the village festival?

110: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

If anything, the trend of having an older man as the protagonist is more mainstream in the direction of the thread than in the original source material…

119: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>110

Even if it’s not the main character, it’s a common trope in stories that a weird old man in the countryside actually has an incredible past and is strong.

112: Japan Otaku Reviews

142: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

It mostly divides whether you want to let them live a slow life or make them step on the wrath of the Sword Saint.

152: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>142

Aren’t there a lot of people who are either provoking someone’s ire or being subjected to the cleansing of the countryside?

143: Japan Otaku Reviews

Oh?

Aren’t you the umbrella thief?

144: Japan Otaku Reviews

I want to reorganize the squad; if only you would come back.

145: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Sword Saint receives a share of the pickled rice.

146: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

Sword Saint has most of the home garden eaten up.

Setting Up the Trap of Anger

157: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>147

No, that’s not it.

161: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>147

Become an old man.

159: Japan Otaku Reviews

The sword saint uses the essence of martial arts to clear the snow.

160: Japan Otaku Reviews

The original sword saint is going to the city.

Isn’t the thread image about a retired holy knight or something like that who has become an old man in a rural area?

164: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The Sword Saint gets skipped on the bulletin board.

165: Japan Otaku Reviews

The start of the main story is like this, right!

The sword saint gets scolded for throwing away trash.

169: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I feel like it often happened in reality as well.

172: Japan Otaku Reviews

I heard that being a soldier comes with mixed experiences, being relied upon one moment and getting stones thrown at you the next.

174: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>169

On the battlefield, I was entrusted with weapons worth a million dollars, but here I can’t even get a job as a parking attendant.

190: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>169

In a rural area where there are only elderly people who lack the strength to clear snow, one might be relied upon excessively…

170: Japan Otaku Reviews

The sword saint creates a bamboo sword and sets out on a journey wandering through various countries.

171: Japan Otaku Reviews

Sword Saint forgot to put a net over the garbage station and got scolded.

173: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t this secluded countryside a village called Life Cod or Death Cod?

175: Japan Otaku Reviews

It suddenly feels like a samurai period drama…

176: Japan Otaku Reviews

I can’t remember the original title anymore.

177: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>185

It seems difficult if the start is late.

199: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>195
