Lore

CHARACTER INFO One of the strongest swordsman of the Edo Yagyu. He is the epitome of rationality. Unmoved by emotion, he views the world through a lens of ice-cold logic. He believes logic and reason to be the path to mastery, and so mastery of the sword makes anything possible... He never speaks of his own passions, and is never impulsive or impatient. His focus is always on the best, most efficient means of achieving his goal. Cool and steely, he makes both a reliable ally, and an utterly terrifying enemy. BOND 1 Height: 181cm Weight: 71kg Origin: History Region: Japan Alignment: Lawful Balanced Gender: Male The third shogun, Iemitsu, is recorded as having called Munenori by the nickname "Ryutan". The nickname came from taking one kanji each from "Yagyu" and "Tajima". BOND 2 A talented swordsman famously known as the son of Yagyu Sekishusai and the father of Yagyu Jubei. During the Siege of Osaka in 1615, he successfully protected Shogun Hidetada, and it is said that he killed seven warriors in an instant. After Munenori died, Shogun Iemitsu referred to him as the "Peerless Swordsman". He was both tactician and politician. He taught Shinkageryu to the nobility and to his disciples, and he sent his disciples out as instructors of swordsmanship to powerful feudal lords. In period piece shows and novels, he is often depicted as an extraordinary conspirator. This is likely because the Yagyu clan's social position was as high as a daimyou earning 12,500 koku of rice during the early Edo period, and it was highly unlikely that such position was earned through honest and innocent means. BOND 3 Munenori's foresight bordered on uncanny, and it is said that he was one of the first to recognize the incipient Shimabara Rebellion. In the fourteenth year of the Kan'ei Era (1637), news of a Christian rebellion reached him. Munenori desperately tried to restrain Itakura Naizen-no-kami Shigemasa, who was ordered to lead a punitive attack. When Shogun Iemitsu asked him to explain his behavior, Munenori had only this to say: "Religious battles are always crucial. Lord Shigemasa is sure to die in battle." Things unfolded just as Munenori predicted. Shigemasa, as a daimyou earning only 15,000 koku, lacked the power needed to lead the western daimyo, and so he struggled in the attack. After learning of this dire situation, Shogun Iemitsu sent out his chief retainer, Matsudaira Nobutsuna, as commander-in-chief. However, Shigemasa panicked when he found out, and he charged into enemy territory before Nobutsuna arrived, and there met his end. BOND 4 Shinkageryu: A++ Munenori possesses the secret technique of the Yagyu Shinkageryu. From his youth until the age of 24, Munenori learned swordsmanship directly from his father, Munetoshi (Sekishusai). As Munenori possesses this skill higher than A Rank, he has resistance not only to swords, but also to mental attacks. Since zen is essential for the master of Shinkageryu, one must neither doubt nor hesitate. Swordless Form: A The secret sword technique that was devised by the master swordsman Kamiizumi Nobutsuna, which was later expanded upon by Yagyu Sekishusai. The skill is said to lead the master of Shinkageryu to victory against an armed enemy even if he brings no blade into battle. BOND 5 『Kenjutsu Musou, Kenzen Ichinyo』 Rank: A NP Type: Anti-Personnel Hidden Technique Range: 0-10 Maximum Targets: 1 Peerless Swordsmanship, The Sword and Zen Are One. Be both free and possess an unwavering mind. The secrets of swordsmanship once spoken by the Buddhist priest Takuan were finally realized by Yagyu Munenori. A sword shows its true worth on the boundary of life and death, while zen allows one to reach enlightenment through reflective meditation. Kenzen Ichinyo, the blade swung by one void of worldly thoughts, brings certain death with a single blow. Clear Pseudo-Singularity III and reach Bond Level 5 During his lifetime, it is said that Munenori criticized Musashi's way of life. Munenori commented that "Musashi is from the Western Army", and he is "an enemy of Tokugawa". Though Munenori would never have crossed paths with or battled Musashi in his lifetime, Musashi was on his mind... Well, that's the story we're going with. That's why the battle against Musashi was so important to Munenori in "Seven Duels of Swordmasters" even though he knew that she was not the Miyamoto Musashi of his own world. As a Heroic Spirit summoned in Chaldea, Munenori acknowledges Musashi's skill. However, his opinion on the Miyamoto Musashi from his own world...is still unclear. CHARACTER INFO 江戸柳生最強の剣士の一人。 感情を交えず、 氷の理性ですべてを見据える合理性の鬼。 術理とは合理であり、すなわち剣きわまれば、 自ずと無駄なくすべてが叶う─── 情熱を口にせず、逸（はや）らず、焦らない。 目的へ到達するための最善、最短の手段を至極冷静に突き詰める。味方となれば頼もしいが、敵となればあまりに恐ろしい、氷にして鋼鉄の男。 BOND 1 身長／体重：181cm・71kg 出典：史実 地域：日本 属性：秩序・中庸　　　性別：男性 三代将軍・家光が宗矩を呼ぶ際の愛称は「柳但（りゅうたん）」であったと記録されている。柳生と但馬から一文字ずつを取っての愛称である。 BOND 2 柳生石舟斎の子にして柳生十兵衛の父として 知られる、剣の天才。 大坂夏の陣（１６１５年）では将軍秀忠を守り、 武者七名を瞬時に斬り捨てたという。 将軍家光からは死後「剣術無双」と讃えられた。 兵法家にして政治家。諸大名やその子弟に新陰流を指南し、自らの弟子を有力な大名の剣術師範として送り込むなどした。 時代小説や時代劇では稀代の陰謀家とされる。 江戸時代初期、柳生家の地位を一万二千五百石の大名にまで押し上げてみせたからには、清廉潔白なだけでは有り得ないと考えられたのだろう。 BOND 3 先読みに長け、島原の乱の拡大をいち早く見抜いていたとも語られる。 寛永十四年（１６３７年）、キリシタン宗徒による反乱の報せが届いてすぐの頃、宗矩は追討使の任を受けた板倉内膳正重昌を必死に引き留めようとした。何故と問い掛けた将軍家光に、宗矩は「宗教徒のいくさはすべて大事」「重昌殿は討ち死にするでしょう」と答えたという。 事態は宗矩の読み通りに推移した。一万五千石の大名である重昌では、西国大名を率いるのに不足であり、結果として苦戦を強いられたのである。状況を重く見た将軍家光は重臣・松平信綱を総大将として送り込んだが、重昌はそれを知って焦り、信綱が到着するよりも前にと敵陣へ突撃し、あえなく討ち死にを遂げたのだった。 BOND 4 ○新陰流：Ａ＋＋ 柳生新陰流の奥義を修めている。 幼少から二十四才までの年月、宗矩は父宗厳（石舟斎）から直接剣を学び、育った。 本スキルをＡランク以上で有する宗矩は、 剣のわざのみならず、精神攻撃への耐性をも有している。参禅を必須とする新陰流の達人は、惑わず、迷わない。 ○無刀取り：Ａ 剣聖・上泉信綱が考案し、 柳生石舟斎が解明した奥義。 たとえ刀を持たずとも、新陰流の達人は武装した相手に勝つという。 BOND 5 『剣術無双・剣禅一如』 ランク：Ａ　種別：対人奥義 レンジ：０～１０　最大捕捉：１人 けんじゅつむそう・けんぜんいちにょ。 不動の心を持ちながら、同時に、自由に在れ─── 沢庵和尚がかつて語った剣の極意は、ついに、 柳生宗矩の中で完成を迎えた。 剣は生死の狭間にて大活し、 禅は静思黙考のうち大悟へ至る。 無念無想の域から放たれる剣禅一如の一刀は、 ただ一撃にて、必殺を為す。 ??? 生前、宗矩は武蔵の存在を非難したという逸話がある。宗矩は「武蔵は西軍の者」「徳川の敵」という旨の言葉を述べた、と。 生前の宗矩は武蔵と激突する事はなかったし、 相手をする事もなかったが、 実のところ、気には留めていたのだ─── と本作では定める。故に『英霊剣豪七番勝負』では武蔵との対決にこだわった。彼女が、自らの世界の「宮本武蔵」とは別人だと知りながら。 英霊としてカルデアに召喚された宗矩は、武蔵の腕と在り方を認めている。自らの世界の「宮本武蔵」についてどう思っているかは……今もって不明である。 CHARACTER INFO BOND 1 Height: 181cm Weight: 71kg Origin: History Region: Japan Alignment: Lawful Balanced Gender: Male BOND 2 BOND 3 BOND 4 BOND 5 ???
