Plots(1)
In Part Two, Musashi learns to control his violent impulses under the guidance of the Yoshioka samurai school. Unfortunately, as he is learning to use his sword in a more thoughtful way, his classmates transform into violent thugs and the school falls apart. While Akemi, Miyamoto's love, hangs on to him, he also finds love and respect in Yoshino, a courtesan in a house of pleasure. Both women, however, must stand by as the brave warrior takes on eighty samurai guided by the mysterious Kojiro. (official distributor synopsis)

Better than part one, but not much. After a splendid intro, you have to grit your teeth to be able to stand the middle part, but the finale looks good again. It relies surprisingly little on Mifune and his charisma. And, compared to part one, the exteriors are much more studio pasteboard, which isn’t necessarily a negative, but it’s surprising.
