119's "Some Like it Rough..." Edges

Swords: The katana may not be as long as the rapier, but it heavier, as demonstrated in this video, if you try to block a katana with a rapier, the rapier could snap clean in half. Not to mention the legendary sharpness of the katana... Edge: Musashi

Daggers: Julie's parrying dagger takes this as it is an actual blade, rather than a short blunt instrument designed solely for the reason that you could not take swords into a shogun's palace. More likely Miyamoto Musashi would have used a tanto or wakizashi, but if he brought a jutte into a knife fight, I'd give the edge to knife in terms of weapons... that said, this is a guy who beat an expert longswordsman with a bokken carved from an oar. But in terms of the weapons itself, Edge: Julie

Special: The arming sword actually has a blade unlike the bokken. And since were taking only the weapon itself into account (the other stuff comes in the X-Factors), I'll give this the edge.

X-Factors: Neither of them are actually that good when it comes health- Musashi had syphilis, Julie was a raging alcoholic. In terms of raw physical strength, Musashi takes this as Julie was a rather small woman, no doubt not as strong as Musashi. While Julie was well enough trained to take on most men, Musashi was a master swordsman, who as I mentioned, took down a master longswordsman with a bokken carved from an oar. As for brutality, I think both of them could be positively brutal, and, Bulls, neither was above using a dirty trick in battle- Musashi killed a master kama scythe wielder by throwing his wakizashi at him. But not only that, Musashi back up raw force with skill and finesse.

Overall Winner: With his great skill with a blade, to the point that he could counter and defeat an opponent with a blade armed only with a piece of wood, Musashi also takes the primary weapon so throughly that he could snap her rapier clean in half. In my opinion, in spite of spite of her infamous sexual exploits, Julie is going to end up "pierced by Musashi's sword" in a manner that she will NOT in any way enjoy... and that is in no way an innuendo. Overall Winner: Miyamoto Musashi
