Summary

Striving for enlightenment by way of the sword, Miyamoto Musashi is prepared to cut down anyone who stands in his way. Vagabond is an action-packed portrayal of the life and times of the quintessential warrior-philosopher--the most celebrated samurai of all time!

Musashi takes on a different kind of opponent when he comes to the aid of a young orphaned boy and tries to defeat one of the fundamental elements of nature, water. This side journey takes him to the verge of discovering something that is perhaps even greater than becoming invincible.

Reads R to L (Japanese Style) for mature audiences.
