Utsutsu Mujuro is a blind swordsman from Ninja Scroll, renowned for fighting with extraordinary precision despite his lack of sight.
Utsutsu Mujuro moves through even a trap-filled bamboo grove with complete freedom, running and attacking as if he could see everything around him.
He is so formidable that he overwhelms Kibagami Jubei, even when Jubei tries to strike under cover of the sound of falling bamboo.
Mujuro turns his blindness into an advantage rather than a weakness.
He uses sound, timing, and spatial awareness to control the battlefield.
In one especially clever tactic, he reflects sunlight from his blade into his opponent’s eyes to blind and disorient them.
It is an ironic and memorable move from a warrior who cannot see himself.
Mujuro comes within a single step of killing Kibagami Jubei.
At the crucial moment, however, an accidental interruption prevents him from landing the finishing blow.
That unexpected chance allows Jubei to recover and defeat him.
