I think from now on, whenever we get the character profile page as the first page, I'm just gonna post a poem in the OP. No point in not bringing you all some fun stuff. This week, we've got Lee Kaiou! And, this week, our poem is 'Slow Song' by Paul Bowles.
"There will be a time not too remotely moonward
nor yet as reminiscent of the moon's disgrace
as the bright pastures in the moonlight of your singing
or the moon's inverted canticle upon your face
when daylight over meadows and the strokes on bells
sent outward into sunlight to the banks of streams
will settle gratefully onto the heavy grass
will rout no more the owl in moonward dreams"
-Bowles, 1928

Don't know who Kyouichiro is, or don't remember? He's the swordsman that Tokugawa has Musashi face down right after he's revived. He plays virtually no role in the main story, but he's an entire story in Kenjin. You'll be able to read that story soon, if I get my way with the releases...

>Musashi: My blade was stopped. The extent of your wall of flesh...
>M: I've never seen something like this before.
>M: My sword can bifurcate helmets.
>M: To keep my sword from reaching the bone, your muscles clamped down and held a grip on the blade.

>M: It's unbelievable that there's a body like that...

I couldn't possibly think of any better word equivalent than "edge"; you know damn well what he did from the picture.

The joints?

Anyway, so ends another day in the life of Musashi.

Regardless, make sure to order a copy of Volume 14 whenever it becomes available! With the special OAD included, it's not something that any of us would want to miss, right? It's the best way to support Itagaki's efforts, and I know I'll certainly be picking up a copy.

>>144680548
See, joints is too non-specific a word, and it doesn't quite match whatever Itagaki meant. I don't know exactly what the hell he meant either, actually - the word used is "kado", literally meaning "corner"; usually in reference to a shape.

>>144680655
Jokes aside, I'm pretty sure it literally cannot be that. The sex chapters were published in a separate magazine, and the tankoubon are financed/whatever by the publisher, so I don't think they'd have the *rights* to do it, much less the desire. Kinda bizarre that Weekly Shounen Champion couldn't allow a sex scene in their magazine though, when their covers are more-often-than-not shit like this.

It's not jobbing here. #1 Pickle hasn't lost yet, and #2 the sword thing was a trick by Musashi. Seeing if Pickle would lose his natural aggression was his goal; you can hardly call such a defeat - if he was defeated - 'jobbing'.

>>144680407
Damn I wanted to see the full power of his hand swords after losing his actual sword, but I guess Itagaki is saving that for another fight.

Let me guess how it will end. Pickle will reveal his scar and do his ultimate move (wall kick horizontal charge) and Musashi will cut him in half in mid-air.
