Why did Yagyu set up Master Togan?Because I’m a gay sadist.

Having someone like this in the palace would be a problem.

Huh? I just sent proper advice since I lost completely, you know?

Do you think the Tora-Mitsu style can survive in the Tokugawa family?

Only being strong isn’t enough to handle this.

“You really plotted well, didn’t you! You didn’t do any sneak attacks afterward, did you, Master Tōgan?”
As expected, Yagyu’s guard was strong, I guess.

If it were the Owari Tokugawa, maybe they could have done it with a tiger’s eye.
It’s crazy.

Honestly, does Kakegawa even have a dojo for someone like that in its castle town?
I think it’s quite risky.

If you attack the shogunate’s advisor, there will be no avoiding the destruction of the house.
It cannot be done in a samurai society that wishes for the prosperity of the household above all else.

I like how you tightly hide the grip with the hem, it’s cunning.

Hikita Bungoro is strong, but he was considered ill-suited, so it seems impossible.

If they had said it was a draw with a solemn expression, it is believed that they would have normally introduced it.

Why is that?

How was Toga able to pass the “test”?

But even Teacher Tegan can do it to some extent.

The sword may surpass Yagyu, but with the turmoil settled, having such a beast around…

Hehe, the smile of social skills is creepy, or rather, it’s too deliberate and can be annoying to some people…

I miss the Warring States period where only the strong could rise… or so they say.
Wouldn’t it have been better to rise in status during the Sengoku period?

It seems that when things aren’t ambiguous, the Kakegawa samurai were able to guide properly, so I think “hehe” is the minimum even during ambiguity.

Even in the Sengoku period, there are limits to how far one can rise based solely on exceptional martial skills.

It’s unclear whether Teacher Tiger Eye can engage in politics, so I can’t say anything definitive.

Looking at it again, Young Master Munekata is cool.

No one knows what elements are necessary for a guide.
It’s a position for Yagyu and a dyeing shop in Kyoto.

We don’t need a swordsmanship-only style that seems even less suited than Tadaaki Ono.

During the Edo period, the domains that were not economically successful were really in the red, and it’s no laughing matter.

“Will I be taught the Tora Ganyuu style by the lord…?”

In the manga, it briefly touches on the fact that the Kakegawa Domain is a small domain established for assistance.
That crazy dojo probably has the maximum budget allowed by the discretion of the pregnant elder Ishi.

The Kakegawa Domain has an income of about 25,000 to 35,000 koku, so a family receiving just under 1% of the domain’s revenue as stipends would be considered quite successful…

It won’t work outside of Kakegawa.

Rather, I think it might have actually helped that they made a mistake here…
Even if I manage to do well there and get employed, I’ll probably end up doing something wrong and have to commit seppuku eventually…

I can’t recommend this to the general… I’ll crush it…

It’s amazing to turn swordsmanship into kendo and make it a stylish hobby.

Shigurui has too little human rights for the lower-ranked samurai.
On the contrary, how did Munemori get promoted?
That’s how it is…

It may be because it’s a minor dojo in Kakegawa that we’ve been able to do this.

Considering that, it’s pretty incomprehensible how Iori Miyamoto made such a big success coming from being a swordsman.

Even if it was the Sengoku period, it was too late to gain fame through personal martial prowess.

It seems that Irako had more political power and would have been suitable as a successor.

If you leave it to Takedai-sama in the tiger’s eye and get sent flying by a finger, then even Muneharu can’t take responsibility.

The way of navigating society… it feels shallow to act proud in front of someone who can’t see anyway since they’re blind.

There’s no way I could teach a crazy sword technique that relies on being able to grab the ceiling with my fingers to the lord!

Mr. Tora Ga has really worked hard in the race for promotion, hasn’t he?

It’s a different work, so it’s a different person, but when I see the abdominal art of Eiichi no Munemitsu, it makes me think that without that level of skill, one can’t survive in Edo Castle…

So I’ve mentioned the matter of obligation and forgiveness within the story, haven’t I?

It’s sad that the naive belief of a country bumpkin is to genuinely take hiding their fingers as if they are pretending to create a loan.

In the peaceful era, one cannot rise to power merely by swordsmanship alone.
It was just not simple…

That is not something to take seriously; there is no correct answer.
It is rude to show, and it is rude to hide; either way, you are turned away at the gate.

Perhaps if I wasn’t under the guidance of the Tokugawa family, I would have thought my current position was a satisfactory achievement…

In the first place, I was just lingering in Kakegawa, and suddenly getting guidance from the general is too much of a jump, Master Tōgan.

It’s a story of a swordsmanship school overshadowed by history.
For some reason, Kanoka Unryusai, who ran away with the victory and even opened a dojo, what is that all about?

That Dr. Tora-gan making a silly laugh is just too shocking.

300 koku is still pretty amazing.
The fact that Munehara became a daimyo with ten thousand koku is just too incredible.
No other school of swordsmanship’s masters can even come close to half of that level, so it’s just that Munenori is extraordinary.

Monk Sōmoku is obsessed with political power, which is why the strength of the sword master in creation is often diminished.
Even as a swordsman, they’re amazing…

If I were to show strength, I would want to show Ishibusai’s.

The Edo Yagyu, which started from 10,000 koku and later received further increases, is just too amusing.
Though it was once split and fell from power, it will return again.

If we’re talking about strength, then it must have been pretty intense in places like Kamiyama or in the world of Shigurui.

I think the reason why the lineage was passed on to Hyogo-suke instead of Munekata is what later leads to its negative portrayal.

Hehe.

I wonder how this came to be.
They won’t accept a dojo challenge.

However, after that, the premature deaths of the successors continued, leading to a decline…

Although it has a name, the crazy master lineage has died.
With that name recognition, Kaneko was able to become independent and has been very successful.

It resembles Teacher Fujiki from my younger days.

I think Toraigan-ryu is not good at navigating the world.

The phrase “Muzan muzam to dou ni utawareru no wa yoku mo waruku mo…” translates to “Being sung as ‘Muzan muzam’ by children is both good and bad…”

After defeating his high-ranking disciple, Musashi became friendly and continued to correspond with him, and when he opened his dojo…
Munerin is sending a letter asking to be nice to the lord of the land.

There’s no way I would adopt a bizarre swordsmanship style like this.

The Tora Ganryu will properly forgive you if you pay the money…

I am a born warrior.

Yagyu is ultimately just parlor swordsmanship.

Well, it seems that he wanted to go higher, but if someone with that personality made it to the top, they would definitely mess up. Given that even now there are important people who are big fans and really favor him, I think being treated the way he is in the story is the best outcome.

Having only one biological daughter or assassinating a fiancé to take a beautiful woman as a mistress.
I am pretending to collect money by visiting various dojos.
Even if the tiger’s eyes are not demented, it is inevitable that it will be resented or decline.

I wonder if Master Kogan can send disciples all over Japan to use them as monitors.

In the end, even with the Tiger Eye, I couldn’t control the cursed sword.

Despite being stronger than Munematsu… I am stronger…! You’ve really done it now!
I can’t possibly endure with 300 koku.
If it were true, it would be natural for me to be 10,000 koku, but I guess it’s unavoidable for Munemori to feel that way.

The members are too noticeable, like Irako, but no matter how hard they try from top to bottom, they can’t achieve greatness in Kakeru Kenpo.

I cannot see a vision of Yagyu’s top disciples defeating the residents of the Tiger-Eye dojo.
Both the master and the disciple are quite something, aren’t they?

If it officially becomes a swordsmanship style of a shogun family or some daimyo’s house, it might actually lose its strength.
Oh, that’s a famous shooting star! It’s probably unavoidable to feel that way.

It is also training to strengthen one’s mental strength.
Turning the lord into a tiger is…

The Tiger Eye style might spread its name by returning with grace, but…
It’s a way that attracts too much hatred.
I think it should have shifted its strategy once it gained a certain level of recognition.

It’s similar to the Book of Five Rings, too.
If you succeed in becoming an influencer, you can advance in your career…

Looking at it this way, it’s Teacher Tōgan in his youth.
Your face looks like a cat.
