Vagabond Vol. 31 Raw Spoilers

What does it truly mean to be "strong"? Takehiko Inoue's monumental chronicle of the undefeated swordsman Miyamoto Musashi reaches Volume 31, weaving two souls side by side. Carrying his aged mother Osugi on his back, Matahachi Hon'iden faces the quiet, unavoidable parting from the woman who accepted him despite all his lies and vanity. Meanwhile Musashi, seeking the answer to the question lodged in his heart, sets out once more for the land of Yagyū, wishing to cross blades in earnest just one more time. Torn between laying down the sword and holding it still, he refuses to stop walking—and on the road he meets an unexpected figure, setting the wheels of fate turning anew. A volume where parting and reunion, stillness and foreboding, quietly cross.
