The final third of the Samurai Trilogy, which, with ''[[Film/SamuraiIMusashiMiyamoto Musashi Miyamoto]]'' and ''[[Film/SamuraiIIDuelAtIchijojiTemple Duel At Ichijoji Temple]]'', represents the most famous adaptation of Eiji Yoshikawa's epic novel, ''{{Literature/Musashi}}''.
Miyamoto Musashi has something of a problem.
He’s traveled, studied, suffered, and strove, beyond all limits, to become the greatest samurai. The summit is within reach. His only match in Japan, Sasaki Kojiro, has challenged him to a duel. On a more worldly level, there’s a strong possibility of royal favor.
Except Musashi doesn’t want it, any of it. It’s the problem common to [[ArrogantKungFuGuy Arrogant Kung Fu People]] who manage the step to MartialPacifist. All the things that appealed the GlorySeeker marching out of their home village become tasteless if the seeker perceives the spiritual dimension.
Postponing the duel for a year, Musashi retreats to an isolated village to work the land. His personal {{Arcadia}} isn't to be, however. Otsu and Akemi both show up there, forcing a conclusion to the LoveTriangle that’s pursued him all these years. The village is tormented by bandits, who increasingly encircle it. And if he manages to get past all that, the lovers and the bandits and his own doubts, beyond it all, waits Kojiro.\
