noun
martial prowess; gallantry; warrior spirit
Refers to the brave, dashing, or gallant bearing and skill of a warrior, often with a classical or literary flavor. Not an everyday modern word; it evokes samurai-era ideals.
彼の武者振りは、まるで戦国時代の武将のようだった。
His martial bearing was just like that of a Sengoku-period commander.
若武者の武者振りに、敵も思わず見とれた
Even the enemy was captivated by the young warrior's gallantry.
Refers to the code of the samurai (bushido), whereas 武者振り focuses on the outward display of martial prowess and gallantry.
Compound of 武者 (musha, 'warrior') and 振り (buri, 'manner' or 'bearing'). The reading ぶり becomes voiced to ぶり due to rendaku.
