Let's see shall we

Ah the old Broadsword vs Katana debate. For me personally I would say the Broadsword is superior due to the longer reach and greater versatility not to mention that the Basket-Hilt gives d'Artagnan greater hand protection as well. Furthermore, while both are no doubt skilled swordsman, d'Artagnan puts his swordsmanship to greater use in open combat as he was a renowned dualist although how much of this was exaggerated or made up is up for debate. Firearms is an obvious edge to Toshiaki seeing as the percussion was the direct replacement for the Flintlock. Overall I have to give the edge to d'Artagnan as from what I can tell he was more well versed in actual combat and spent more time fighting in battle than Toshiaki, who from what I can tell was more of a behind the scenes general than fighter although I couldn't find much info about his exploits so this is just blind speculation on my part.

Edge: Three Musketeers +1
