I swear the bookie is based on a celebrity. Chow you phat, maybe?

This might be the first time they've realy called out Usagi's style as unusual, as Katsuichi had rejected the mainstream sword forms. I'm really hoping when the show comes out his style is distinct.

What was page 27 and 28?

I wish I knew. All I can think of is that character from Dragon Ball

Nothing important, some art pages to mark the change in story.

I thought he was just goofy cameo. He's got a whole story?

This can only end well...

He actually shows up in a few more stories too.

I suppose if he knew Usagi had fought a literal demon in the previous issue he would have thought this through.

I was wondering who had won the duel with his old teacher. Guess I missed that chapter.

It was one of his fellow students that his old teacher trained after he faked his death. Kinds faked his death, lack of communication really messed with people in this book.

This scene is what hooked me on Usagi Yojimbo. Usagi did everything right. He tried to duel with wooden swords. He made it clear he didn't want to fight. When the crowd cheers for him he chastises them. But, despite everything Usagi did, a woman is widowed and her child is orphaned. The road of the ronin is strewn with bodies, no matter how noble Usagi tries to be.

I read the saga editions before going back for the Fantagraphic, so I had almost forgotten about the sequel issue and putting them together was pretty powerful

Ghost wife was right, he is extravagant!

Thanks for reading, I'll try and post around noon tomorrow since I won't be here at the usual hour

Okay one of those fuckers is upside down. Did Usagi hit him so hard he pinwheeled mid air?

Thanks for the story time!

isn't two to one better than three to two?
