In Kurosawa's Yojimbo why did Master Homma run away?
Seibei hires Sanjuro (the protagonist) to be his bodyguard and to lead the fight against the other group. Seibei agreed to pay Sanjuro 50 ryo (25 up front); the master Homma complains that he was paid only 2 ryo.
Why did Homma run away? Was it the pay or something else?
Best Answer
Without any backstory, the only reasonable conclusion is that
Master Homma is a coward, and now that the Ronin is here to fight, Homma knows he won't be missed
