'Ichijouji no ketto' takes up the transformation of Musashi into a proper samurai and feels like an empty middle part just for tying the trilogy together.
Musashi is here torn between becoming a true samurai and the woman that loves him, Otsu. That is, he doesn't seem to care the slightest bit for Otsu, while she on the other hand is painstakingly waiting for his return. She is portrayed as being very weak, which annoyed me.
What the prequel had in adventure and excitement is not present in this movie, its more about the ideas of the samurai and samurai thought. Toshiro Mifune gets a shallow character so he cant help it much with his presence. The fight scenes are good though.
