The Sequel to ''Film/SamuraiIIDuelAtIchijojiTemple'', and one-third [[FilmOfTheBook film adaptation]] of Eiji Yoshikawa's ''Literature/{{Musashi}}'', in addition to being the last of the Miyamoto Musashi ''Samurai'' trilogy.
Miyamoto Musashi (Creator/ToshiroMifune) continues to advance his legend. Having won a victory over the legendary Yoshioka school, Musashi has come to the attention of perhaps the greatest swordsman in all the land: Sasaki Kojiro. Challenged to a duel by Kojiro, Musashi agrees to face him in a year's time. Settling his affairs, the two samurai meet for their famed battle on Ganryu Island.

!!This film contains examples of:
* AntagonistInMourning: After the death of Kojiro, Musashi truly grieves him, considering him the finest swordsman he has ever face, and likely ever ''will''.
* CombatPragmatist: Musashi uses everything to his advantage that he can. Against Kojiro, he makes certain to put the sun at his back so Kojiro's vision is affected.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: Musashi finally realizes there's more to life than just the sword and accepts the love of Ots. But not before he has the duel to make him a legend.
* ForegoneCOnclusion: Who doesn't know the outcome of the duel? It's a given that just as in history, Kojiro will fall to Musashi.
* OlderAndWiser: Musashi has grown as a man immensely. No longer the scrappy ruffian Takezo, he is now a mature and seasoned swordsman.
* SingleStrokeBattle: Musashi and Kojiro end their duel by charging and striking. Musashi swings, leaps nimbly back from Kojiro's blow, the two straighten with Musashi having a light cut to his head. Then Kojiro sways, staggers and falls with his skull crushed by Musashi's wooden sword.
* YouAreAlreadyDead: Musashi's look says it all. Even Kojiro smiles in seeming appreciation at the irony before he takes a few staggering steps and drops.
