## Image Gallery

Musashi is a minor character in **Blade of the Phantom Master**. He is a powerful swordsman whom was the creator of Hapki and was the teacher of Taeyu and Baekryong. He trains himself anytime he can as even he himself still needs practice.

## Appearance

A large and muscular man with many scars, mostly at his upper chest and face. He has long and wide spiky dark brown hair. His face is noticablly aged with a sharp pronounced chin with a nine o clock shadow. He is seen wearing a sort of blue kimono with white edges. A red belt sash to hold it in place with two gourds tied to it. The lower outfit has a fire pattern. Sometime he is seen half naked when training.

## Background

A warrior who has dedicated his life to martial arts. He is an expert of hapki, and has had many disciples, including Baekryong and Taeyoo from Hwalbindang. He is quite neutral. At one point, he agrees to help Ajitae train Sando, yet at the same time fights Jongson (who is part of Ajitae's party) as he wishes to fight the strongest warrior of the past. He died in the final battle when Ajitae's explosion basically killed friend and foe.

## Plot Overview

### Hwalbindang Arc

Ajitae brings Sando to Musashi's abode in the mountains. After Sando recovers from her injuries, Musashi offers to train her in hapki. At first, Sando was not preparing hserlf correctly which Musashi shows and gives a more philoshpical lesson in order to learn hapki.

### Mandrake Dream Arc

Sometime later, when Sando mastered hapki, he was impressed and finds her stronger than Taeyu and Baekryong. Soon, Mago arrived as her sparring partner which Musashi also taught her hapki. As Sando and Mago left to serve Ajitae, Musashi was by himself and wanders around Jyushin.

### Final Battle Arc

During the final battle of Ajitae and Munsu, he was observing the battle as he came across Marlene and had a little chat before parting ways. When Jungson, activates his hapki to fight Munsu, Musashi detects the use of hapki and quickly intervenes; blocking the attack. He was very interested to fight Jungson while declaring that he is on no one's side. As he fought Jungson, he detects Ajitae's self destruction attack and tells Taeyu to run. Musashi was killed by such attack soon after.

## Relationships

**Disciples**

* Sando - upon Ajitae's request, Musashi trains Sando to use Hapki.
* Taeyoo - along with Baekryong, are both disciples of Musashi who later left to form the Hwalbindang.
* Baekryong - along with Taeyoo, are both disciples of Musashi who later escaped their master and formed the Hwalbindang.
* Mago - in later part of Sando's training, becomes Sando's sparring partner and trains under Musashi as well.

**Others**

* Ajitae - apparently they are friends so agrees to Ajitae's request to help train Sando. However, they are not fully allies, as during the final battle, he doesn't fight on any side and at one point enters the battle to fight Jungson, one of Ajitae's generals.
* Marlene von Lucid
* Jungson - one of the trio of Sambyeolcho Unit. Musashi interferes with the fight between Jungson and Munsu and takes on Jungson as he has vested interest to test how strong he is (as Jungson was the legend during his era).
* Munsu - Found interest of his use of the crane V formation.

## Abilities

* **Hapki** - it seems Musashi was the one who created Hapki and thus an advanced user of Hapki and is probably the strongest man of the current age (or at least he claims he is). He is so proficient with Hapki that Ajitae approaches him to train Sando and Mago. His hapki's aura is golden. He is also Taeyoo and Baekryungs's previous master.
* Swordsmanship

## Trivia

* His name is most like based off of Miyato Musashi, one of the most famous and revered swordsmen in Japanese history during the tumultuous Sengoku and early Edo periods. He was a ronin, a masterless samurai, and was best known for his exceptional skills in martial arts, particularly in swordsmanship.
* Mujang resembles Jyu , a character from Burning Hell, as they're nearly identical in appearance and behavior. It is highly possible that since both webtoons have the same author and illustrator, they reused Mujang's design for Jyu.
	+ The only real difference between the two is that, while both men are eager to fight, Mujang's more patient. In addition to that Mujang is not a cannibal.
* In the original manga, his name was actually Mujang. The reason for the change is unknown.
