      Interestingly enough, the sword as the quintessential samurai weapon is a fairly modern trope of stage and screen. Warriors are by necessity pragmatic people, and so their actual weapon of choice in actual battles was - you guessed it - the bow.

      as musashi says, weapons are simply tools, and you pick the best one for the situation. getting romantic about it is how you get your head beaten in with an oar.

      Musashi straight up said that he thought of guns as the ultimate battlefield weapon except for a few specific weaknesses (which modern firearms have basically eliminated) and that learning swordsmanship was for those specific situations (when you're too close together)

      And more or less admitted that despite the advantages that still existed of a bow and arrow over a musket, firearms had made the art of archery obsolete

      If he were alive today he'd totally just tell his disciples to conceal carry a Glock as a sidearm and train with an AR-15

      it's always hilarious to me when anime shows have their Honorable Swordsman character have some musashi reference, because the thing about musashi was he was the least goddamn honorable swordsman there was, it's why everyone hated him

      The famous thing about the Five Rings is him being laser-focused on pragmatism "The goal of swordsmanship is to cut your opponent In every action you take, your aim must be to cut your opponent"

      You know, basic obvious stuff, but stuff that he felt needed to be said in an age when dueling was getting all effete and aristocratic and muddled up with the idea of showmanship and fancy flourishes and "honor"

      looking over his section on different weapons again and i can 100% imagine him saying the same thing in a modern context. "the ar-15 can be used effectively in all situations. the best use of the pistol is at close range, or when you may not open carry. the shotgun--"

      John Wick is very much in the authentic spirit of Musashi and the Five Rings

          i guess i disagree? john wick is a fantastic gunfighter, but he doesn't fight dirty. musashi was the guy who used every trick in the book to stack the odds to his advantage--john wick mostly just charges in and trusts to his superior skills.

          even more so, wick is clearly deeply committed to the various notions of honor. and he never uses those notions -- the weird-ass conventions of his assassin society -- to trick people, to wrong-foot them, to outplay them. he plays his honor completely straight.

          The whole idea of taking an inherently ridiculous, cinematic premise (the "one-man army", one guy taking out hundreds of trained opponents) and asking "Okay but IF this happened how would you do it" He'd have to both be really good and take every possible advantage
