Musashi

The legendary duel between Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojirō on Ganryūjima in 1612 is one of the most famous sword fights in Japanese history. Musashi arrived late to the duel, a calculated tactic to unnerve his opponent. Instead of his usual two swords, he wielded a wooden sword (bokken) he had carved from an oar on the boat ride to the island. This unconventional choice surprised and likely confused Kojirō. As the duel began, Kojirō drew his nodachi, a long sword he was renowned for using with lethal precision. Musashi, however, kept his distance, analyzing his opponent's movements. When Kojirō finally attacked, Musashi deftly dodged and countered with his wooden sword, striking Kojirō on the head. The longer reach of the wooden oar-sword gave Musashi an unexpected advantage. He was able to keep Kojirō at bay while launching his own attacks. The rough-hewn nature of the bokken also meant that Kojirō couldn't predict its exact length or weight, further throwing off his timing. In a decisive moment, Musashi feinted, drawing Kojirō into an attack. As Kojirō's blade whistled past, Musashi struck again with his wooden sword, this time with fatal force. Kojirō fell, defeated by Musashi's brilliant strategy and unorthodox weapon choice. This victory cemented Musashi's reputation as an unparalleled swordsman and strategist. His use of a wooden sword against a master swordsman wielding steel became legendary, exemplifying his philosophy of adaptability and psychological warfare in combat.

Were emperors bad people?

Before going to a conclusion, I believe we should look at the context. During those times, the whole environment was like either conquer or be conquered.
