History YMMV / Vagabond

* {{Narm}}: Every single time Kojiro tries to talk and ends up saying ''Aaaaa'' and ''Auaaaa''.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeArt: is by far one of the most lushly-illustrated and technically impressive manga ever created. Not only does every character have a very detailed, unique design, Inoue's realism does not stop him from making the characters have vibrant facial expressions and gestures. When he was first starting out Inoue said he needed as many as six assistants to keep the art quality in Vagabond as high it is thanks to the weekly deadlines of the Morning magazine.

* CounterpartComparison: Due to the heavy amount of violence, the focus on a charismatic "lone wolf" protagonist who undergoes meticulous CharacterDevelopment, as well as the rivalry between Musashi and Kojiro, it's not uncommon to find people compare this series to ''Manga/{{Berserk}}''.

* MagnumOpus: Generally considered to be this for Takehiko Inoue. Although SlamDunk was ridiculously huge BreakthroughHit for him, Vagabond is often held in higher regard, thanks to its mature storyline and acclaimed art. Though Inoue himself has never said it outright it's quite plausible that he also considers it his best work. He has said that it has taught him a lot, and that he is afraid that he will stop growing as an artist when Vagabond ends.

* TheScrappy: Due to his hedonistic, weak-willed nature and failure to do anything meaningful with his life, Matahachi is wildly disliked by the reader-base. His mother is also disliked for being selectively oblivious over Matahachi's own moral failings and her unreasonable dislike of Otsu and Takezo/Musashi for "abandoning" him.
