What does it truly mean to be "strong"? Takehiko Inoue continues his sweeping retelling of the life of the undefeated swordsman Miyamoto Musashi in Volume 28. Having survived the brutal duel against the Yoshioka school known as the "slaying of seventy," Musashi is left gravely wounded and pushed to the very edge of body and spirit. "Is heaven trying to take the sword from my hands?" The question quietly shakes a man who once believed himself invincible. This volume asks what a man who has lived only for the blade feels when he can no longer hold one, while a special chapter depicts the strange early meeting between young Sasaki Kojirō and Tsujikaze Kōhei.

Vagabond Vol. 28 spoilers
⚠️ Spoilers ahead.
[Contains story details and outcomes] Musashi walks away the victor of the seventy-man duel, but the triumph brings him no peace. His body has been carved by countless blades, and the deep wound to his right leg leaves him barely able to walk. A man who once ran forward thinking only "grow stronger" is now forced to face the terror of possibly losing the sword itself. The dread that heaven means to strip the blade from him tightens around his chest. Alongside this, the crossing paths of a young Kojirō and Tsujikaze Kōhei quietly foreshadow the destined confrontation still to come at Ganryū Island.
