Characteristics and attraction of this contents

authentic and real playing depiction

Musasi no ken is very realistic comic even if kendo athlete read the contents. Setting about inter high school kendo tournament championship and boy kendo club and all japan boy kendo tournament championship are presence in real world and setting about kyusyu region is strong area is same to real world. The one scene that in all japan kendo tournament championship eiitirou natuki was given fierce tuki and damaged his throat and dead is not occurred in real kendo match. Actually as player can plays kendo more better, he can decide tuki more precisely.

Menukiotosimen which syura toudou perform as a special skill is considered to be very difficult skill in real kendo match. In real kendo match, It have high probability to miss so that the special skill almost never seen. but if player have ability to decide the special skill, he surely seems to be strong player.

hundle two sword player match

Settings that player syunniti inui participate in all japan kendo tournament championship and he can handle two sword is actually seems to be very difficult. Player who practiced handling two sword and mastered the skill is rare, and it is difficult to judge the match player handling two sword versus player handling one sword fairly in real kendo match. I feel it is romantic and interesting scene to go to journey to training kendo skill and practice kendo skill by himself in nature.
