Strategy/Usage

Musashi is an overall decent ranged anti-wave unit. He does a good job against most wave attackers, like Pigeon de Sable, Kory, and even Hermit Cat, provided you have a decent lineup to take the heat. Unlike Ururun, his attack rate is too slow for him to fend for himself, meaning you must protect him well when using him in stages like Tiny Fists.

The most important aspect of him is his wave immunity, a respectable quality only replicated by certain Talented Rare or Uber Rare Cats, as well as Dancer Cat in restriction stages. However, as there's often a wide range of options than him, you will be unlikely to use him unless you lack alternatives due to his sluggish recharge.

True Form

Awakened Mushashi gains the Zombie Killer, Freeze Relic, and Immune to Curse abilities, along with increased health and attack power. Zombie Killer is an odd ability as he does not fare well against them, since common Zombies will usually burrow into his range and knock him back, something exacerbated by his low KB count. He is, however, one of the only non-Uber Zombie Killers to outrange Cadaver Bear.

His freeze ability against Relics isn't the worst, and serves as extra support, provided he isn't outranged by the Relic enemy in question. The duration of his ability is a nice 3 seconds, which serves as reprieve for that amount of time. Immune to Curse serves to make it absolute that he will not lose his ability, but it isn't very useful, given his slow attack rate and low activation chance often preventing it from making an impact. Players who would want a consistent freeze effect would instead prefer to progress further and obtain Doron, since Doron, despite being a suicide bomber, is backed by his exceptional consistency.

His attack and health increases are very good, and allow him to remain semi-relevant to the Uncanny Legends meta. But, most importantly, this allows him to dominate in 4-Crown Stories of Legend, which was a bit of an issue beforehand, meaning you will likely use him for Stories of Legend more than anything else. However, if you are looking for a good use of your Elder Catfruit and want to get a Cat that performs well in Uncanny Legends or for general use, then investing in Slapstick Cats, Awakened Mina, or Awakened Ururun would be a better idea.

Appearance

• Normal Form: Looks like a young man wearing tattered pants without a shirt or shoes, but has a large, spiked shoulderguard on his right shoulder with dark markings on his arms, similar to Crazed Titan Cat. Wields a large sword with chains wrapped near the tip, with similar chains on his feet, which are dragged around by a big, ghostly Samurai Cat following behind. Has purple flames on his hands, feet and sword chain.
• Evolved Form: Now wears more ornate armor, his sword becomes more detailed and chained up, his pants turn black, and the ghostly Samurai Cat gets a better-looking helmet.
• True Form: Mostly the same, but in full color and with even more ornate equipment. A second smaller sword floats near the main one. The three flames around the Samurai Cat have turned into purple ghost-cats, with two more added above the smaller sword.

Trivia

• Prior to BCEN 5.10, Miyamoku Musashi was named Miyagi Musashi, which he is still called in BCJP.
• Prior to BCEN 8.0, Heroic Musashi was named Legendary Musashi.
• Miyamoto Musashi was a famous Japanese samurai in ancient times who was also a writer as well as being well known for a swordsman. It was rumored that he won 61 duels in a row and was apparently a record. Unlike Miyamoku Musashi, he usually handled battles with two swords, which is shown in the True Form through a second, smaller sword.
• Awakened Musashi's Japanese description mentions that he stars in the drama "Unlucky Day Police"; the term translated as "Unlucky Day" specifically is 仏滅 butsumetsu, one of the six rokuyō (a cycle of days on the Japanese calendar, each with a different fortune). Butsumetsu symbolizes the day Buddha died and is considered to be the unluckiest of the rokuyō.
