I agree with EpicTaco69 on this matter.

That being said, Kojiro's Tsubame Gaeshi is also considered as a "common sword technique", not a legit NP despite the mystical 3 hits, as such it doesn't require a proper NP-like mana cost. Unlike Musashi's NP which requires mana to activate (as well as the time interval required to make the stand appears completely), Kojiro can pretty much spam his Tsubame Gaeshi before Musashi can launch her stand rage because his NP is considered as sword technique instead of NP.

Stating that Kojiro himself is weak is already a wrong conclusion. He is just ranked lower than Musashi, as such, not many players can see his actual worth. It will be like comparing Arash at Lv 90 to Gilgamesh on the same level. Unless Musashi has NP Lv of 3+, she can't truly defeat Kojiro in terms of dealing damage.

Back to the discussion of lorewise actual combat scenario, Kojiro has a skill which can prevent his enemies from discerning the pattern of his attacks and he gains advantage against Musashi with his longer katana. Given his status as a glorified fictional character (as per lore descriptions), he has deep understanding of swordfighting tactics and techniques so he can surely defeat Musashi as long as her Fifth Form isn't constantly activated, which is a form of technique where she can summon the "third sword" to compete with Tsubame Gaeshi. Looking at those facts, the fight between Kojiro and Musashi will be bitterly long and full of hidden surprises to obstruct each other from using their ultimate moves.
