### Summary
The focus remains on Sasaki Kojiro's brutal education under the gleefully unhinged Ito Ittosai, who uses the battlefield as a live training ground to forge the deaf prodigy's sublime grace into a tool of lethal finality. This violent, external development provides a stark contrast to Musashi's own journey. While Kojiro is being shaped by the crucible of war, Musashi's greatest battle has been an internal one: the struggle to conquer his own feral 'Takezo' persona and discover a strength that transcends mere killing, a distinction that lies at the very heart of his path to becoming a true master.
