Vagabond Chapter 196 Discussion

And now Musashi kills Gion Toji... I don’t know if I like this...

Damn I wanted a better fight not one shot and boom it's done Tojiro was really strong before damn.

Honestly I totally forgot about Toji. But he also looked quite different when he appeard again. Anyway looks like the Yoshioka guys are planning to get Kojirou to fight Musashi.

                        ----------------------------------------

                        so Gion Toji came back just to get rekt lmao

Madness!!!

Musashi is on a different level! This chapter gave me goosebumps!

The school and Densichiro have 0 chance....And now they try to turn their backs to Kojiro!?!

No way Kojiro will "help" them, but Denshichiro is nowhere near strong enough + mentally he is done!

Gion got rekt fast, but that was to show that Musashi is on a completely different level. The last time we saw Musashi was before the Kojiro Arc when he was fight Baiken and drew for the first time two swords.

He defeated him, but I think he let him live. Since then we haven't seen what Musashi has really gone through, especially mentally.

It seems like everything is coming together....Let's see what comes next!

WHAT?! That was the end of Gion Toji?! That felt really cheap, to be honest. Also, when did the Yoshioka meet Kojiro? I think it was shown but I can't recall. Anyway, I'm hyped to see if he'll face Musashi. Wonder if they'll remember each other.

Good lord, this is ruthless as fuck. musashi is just killing everyone left and right. i forgot toji's bum ass for a second, of course he died as quick as seijuro.



toji might've been a good opponent against musashi during the hozoin arc, but not anymore. i guess that was the point by giving him so much screentime in the hozoin arc-- to show that brute strength alone isnt enough to get by in the fighting world. toji was kinda like musashi but without all of the character growth-- no wonder he got fodderized.



his death panel looked pretty nice.

Gion Toji to me had so much potential. I dare say he even had just as much as the four senior disciples from the Yagyu. Actually, probably less lol



But the fact of the matter that he got washed so quickly by Musashi after not really amounting to anything more than what he already was a year ago is pretty pathetic. Also Ueda is trying to play Godfather right now and set Musashi up with Kojiro to duel. He is in Kyoto right now, but it would definitely be too early according to the timeline.

Oh no Musashi and Kojiro will fight!!

The mysterious men were Toji!!! He died very quick :/
