Undead RVD's "Masters of their Crafts" EDGES:
Primary: These are two swords known for needing great skill to master. The Katana is extensively used as a symbol of "don't f**k with me", in sport and in full-pledge combat. The Rapier is primarily used as a symbol and in sport. Both are deadly in their own right and the skill needed to master them are immense. However, the real thing that separates the two is which can stand in a series fight. The Rapier's blade is made of fine steel but it is also very thin and can't take much damage. A battle-ready Katana is made to have unparallelled sharpness and are to be able to cut through armor. It comes down to if the Katana user can hit the Rapier user's blade hard enough to break it, and the likely hood is pretty good when the swordsman is Miyamoto Musashi.
 * EDGE: Miyamoto Musashi

Sidearm: I don't know what kind of Parrying Dagger Julie D'Aubigny is using but the fact that is is more offensive than the Jutte while being just as good at defending.
 * EDGE: Julie D'Aubigny

Special: The Bokken is a training sword. The Arming Sword is a fighting sword. Simple enough. However, Myamoto Musashi's skill with the Bokken will produce some major damage, as it is hard wood. Still, the Arming Sword is stronger and more lethal in the long run.
 * EDGE: Julie D'Aubigny

X-Factors: Julie fails in many ways here. She may be a skilled swordswoman but she is also an alcoholic and nowhere as disciplined as a samurai. Not only is Miyamoto Musashi a highly disciplined samurai but he is also stronger and had been in vastly more fights, having been in 60 duels and three major military campaigns, all of which he was victorious in. He is also a much better swordsman. He had defeated a well armed samurai when Miyamoto wielded a wooden sword. He does have syphilis but at the end, Miyamoto Musashi wins the X-Factors with ease.
 * EDGE: Miyamoto Musashi

Overall: Miyamoto Musashi has this in the bag. He is the better, much more battle hardened swordsman and his Katana will do... pretty the majority of the killing in this fight. Hell, his Bokken will get a f**k ton of kills do to his incredible still with it. Julie is too low-tampered and alcohol loving to win against a much more disciplined and battle-hardened swords-master.

''' WINNER: MIYAMOTO MUSASHI '''
