I think these two pages illustrate the distinct difference between Yagyu and Musashi. Musashi is as uncultured and uncivilized as a person can be(by choice) and also has an intense bloodlust but when you fight him - it is a fight and if you’re strong he sincerely enjoys the back and forth with you. It’s not a game to him but he can’t help but express this weird, childlike joy he has when he’s able to swing his blades around with another driven opponent. It’s the sport the practice the art of swordsmanship that fuels him, he’s not about killing you or harming you. Those are just things that do happen in life and death fights but they’re far from his actual aim. He just wants to get stronger, to improve his swordsmanship further, and enjoy the thrill of a fight. Yagyu on the other hand despite being civilized and and brought up rather priviledged and taught to be honorable and well-mannered is a sadistic, murderous bastard who like Musashi has an intense bloodlust and love for swordsmanship but it’s not about the art or sport for him. He just cares about inflicting as much pain as possible before he kills you. He NEEDS to make sure your death lasts long enough so he can enjoy it. He needs to keep your body from going into shock while he’s carving you up so you can feel every bit of what he’s doing to you because that’s what fuels him. His getting stronger and developing a better technique isn’t done out of a love for the sword or self-improvement. He just wants to craft the perfect sword style that will allow him to make every death he gives his victims a ‘good’ one. One that seems like it lasts forever and is worthy of the name ‘perpetual torment’.

All she wanted this year was to have less weirdoes to deal with.

Kenobi vc: hello there

[blocdshed]

Tess. I’m sorry but that’s not even half of how much actual bloodlust is dwelling within that man waiting for you to draw it out.

“Hmmmm... Don’t know. I’ve been just ‘bout fighting every day since I was able to pick up a sword, but every single opponent I fought was a serious letdown. No matter how much they got talked up by people around them - the ‘invincible this’, ‘strongest, sharpest blade’ that’- all I could think while I was standing over their bodies after it was all said and done was ‘oh is that it?’. These guys were supposed to be the best of the best but it was as if I were sleeping through our matches. Shit, I might has well have been...” Musashi grumbled with pinched brows. Perhaps reminiscing on the long string of disappointments has called upon his apathy to return to him as even as he draws a single blade from it’s sheathe and gets into stance, he still barely looks all that interested in a fight. 

“ If I’m the man capable of cutting you down or if you’re even worth cutting down - there’s only one way to really find out, don’tcha think? ”

@blocdshed​ is interrupting her 

“….Sir. Could you please stifle that murderous aura, if you would? I’ve only just sat down.”

Coming across that odd woman with red hair had already been enough of a headache, but after finally finding an establishment that accepted bartering rather than this world’s currency (She needed to get on that, really.)–Despite her work-focused tendencies, she wasn’t stupid enough to continue her search for a way back home on an empty stomach. Still, after she’d finally sat herself amidst the people, swords still resting and hidden beneath her outer skirt–The bloodlust of the man who had just seated himself at her table hadn’t been lost on her in the least.

“ Huh? No way...you actually felt that? I thought I was doing pretty good keeping a lid on it but...you’re sharper than those tired eyes let on.” 

Laughing and lifting a hand to make a half-assed attempt at wiping away fresh specks of blood(not his own) from a dirtied face, the young man pushes aside his untamed mop of dark hair, revealing a pair of violet eyes to accompany the deceptively placid smile that did absolutely nothing to hide the bloodlust behind it nor the stench of death that clung tightly to his presence not unlike the filthy, tattered kimono that clung to his massive body. 

“ Just who are you supposed to be, ane-san? Some random traveler wouldn’t be nearly enough to get me all worked up like this.”
