![]() ![]() This makes the upgrading process for his katana much different by translation while in English, Magic Alloys would imply Mugwort, the local blacksmithy, would melt down and reforge Musashi's blade by whole and add in the Alloys, the Japanese sources imply that these are special kinds of tinder that are able to temper Kaneshige properly. While the English script states that Magic Alloys are used to improve his Katana, the upgrading catalysts are named カジノモト (Kajinomoto), which is a katakana spelling for 火事の元 (kaji no moto) or "a source of fire". In real life, Kaneshige is the kun'yomi (Japanese-based) pronunciation of Kinju, who is reputed to be one of Masamune's Ten Disciples. In the Japanese script, Musashi's second katana is named Kaneshige (兼重). Musashi's katana, like in the first game, has a name like Fusion/Raikoumaru while the English script merely labels it as a brandless and nameless Katana. In English, the names of the drinks have more mythological creatures to their themes, and of fearsome or powerful creatures, implying they came from powers of darkness more than any mortal's hands. For Viper's Scale and Avis's Tears, they seem to be named akin to the Five Artifacts, with an animal theming to them. The drink names in Japanese have more mythological medicinal names to them than the soft drink names that Leyden comes up with. These drinks cannot be found at Leyden's Lounge instead, they can only be found at Gandrake HQ, or in the case of the Genie Tonic, in Manglewood. Rampart Isle/Gandrake Enterprises/Miscellaneous HQ Exclusive Drinks ![]() In English, they have more direct references and drink mixes for their boosts, making them also sound like recipes. They also have Japanese wordplays and puns. Leyden's Lounge in Japan goes for giving every drink a name akin to Japanese soft drinks like Pocari C and Calpico. The Japanese script instead goes for an all out ala carte menu for Musashi, featuring a ton of Japanese dishes and entrees. Just like Tunnbrod's Bakery, Pepper's Grill in the English script tries to evoke the first game's Grillin' Restaurant's "queasy cuisine" menu, with entrees like Pork Pot Pie and Possum Burger. The Japanese script shows a lot more presentations than just plain ice cream, though they all are served in cones. Kiri's Creamery has the distinction of having fewer drastic alterations in its translations, to some extent. In Japan, her onigiri has flower theming and different names for her goods. In the English script, Hosomaki's Onigiri has more generic Japanese cuisine fillings for her onigiri, presumably to relate more with an English-speaking audience. In-game, his goods restore health, instead of how the first game healed Bincho (magic) Points if you stocked up on bread items. In the Japanese release, Tunnbrod serves more elaborate baked goods and entrees, which explains the cheeses you find on his shelves. Tunnbrod's Bakery in the English release tries to evoke the goods you'd find in Jam's Fluffy Puffy Bakery in the first Musashiden, going for more general baked goods and sweets.

The Japanese and European releases can be considered to be akin to "International" releases by Square Enix for the Final Fantasy series. The US release is considered the "vanilla" release of the game, due to its time of release and availability. Musashi: Samurai Legend is the second game by Square to be released in the United States before other regions, the first being Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest. ![]()
