I love seeing Musashi and Kojiro interacting with each other. I wonder Musashi thinks would have won that battle had they gone a little longer and actually drawn their swords. It appeared from those images that Kojiro got the first cut, followed by Musashi and that was it. However, when Kojiro tried to unsheathe his sword, he looked at Musashi and then decided not to draw. Maybe because he couldn't sense Musashi's blood thirst? But what gets me is that Musashi was seemingly enjoying their playtime and then wondered who could have killed who in the fight, so maybe he was just suppressing his blood thirst too well for Kojiro to pick up on it and think Musashi didn't want to fight?
Fantastic chapter and I love when Inoue sensei lets these chapters have multiple meanings.
