My body is ready
>>82901661
Cheers to you OP.
Have a nice day/evening, everyone
>>82902461
Hell yeah it's an Inspector Ishida episode.
>>82902436
The pain train has no brakes for Usagi and friends
Usagi is great and OP is great for posting this
>>82903130
Was honestly expecting him to add another member to the harem.
>>82903602
No, after Bridge of Tears, Usagi's life has been an endless expanse of suffering.
>>82903602
You should have known by this point that as soon as usagi helped her she was marked for death.
she had better chances bleeding out on the rain.
>>82902461
>It's an Ishida story
Yes
>>82902152
Dayum.
do you think that Usagi killing that foreign ambassador will come back to bite him in any way? I figure he'd be likely to have friends or superiors that wouldn't be too happy about that, even if the dude was crazy.
>>82910222
I'd love to see another foreigner story. It blows my mind that it took this long for the first one to happen.
I always thought it was kind of neat that Usagi distrusts foreigners. He's not some kind of magically progressive guy, he's a 16th century samurai, so of course he thinks whitey is bad news.
>>82910381
Usagi is the type of guy who would end up being friends with a foreigner though. He is obviously not going to trust them immediately, but once they show they aren't a massive dick he'd warm up to them.
Post your favorite Usagi Yojimbo story/arc or character
The story where Sasuke shows up for the second time is amazing just because of how much he blows away Usagi with the power level he's working with
>>82911445
Usagi has at least one kindred spirit in the BPRD's past.
Anyone got the uneasy feeling there's gonna be more tearjerker stories between Usagi and women due to the unfortunate event recently in Stan's life.
>>82901661
>part 1 of 1.
So I just got the volume 1 of the Dark Horse collections. Is there any way to still get the stuff from BEFORE Dark Horse?
>>82911834
Possibly, but Usagi has a storied history of tearjerker stories involving doomed women going back decades already, so it's not as if it's much of a diversion from his characterization or story tendencies.
>>82901930
>Looks like I can afford this place.
>The woman is literally yelling cheap food.
If he was in modern times, Usagi would be a guy with a Costco pack of ramen in his closet.
>>82901988
Did that happen in an issue or did that happen off panel?
>>82911834
What happened? Divorce?
>>82912329
No. His son died in a car accident.
I think his wife is really sick too.
>>82911445
Sasuke the Demon Queller is awesome because he's the only guy who can really make Usagi go "OMG WTF IS GOING ON?!" and act in a state of near-panic.

He's had a hard few years.
>>82911445
Dragon Bellow Conspiracy is the Helm's Deep of Usagi Yojimbo.
>>82912511
>>82912329
Uh.... His wife is no longer sick. She kinda died.

>tfw you love this comic and don't want it to end but are also terrified Sakai is going to die before it gets a proper ending
>>82902116
Well, at least they let him finish his drink first.

There's A Box Set for That™
http://www.amazon.com/Usagi-Yojimbo-Special/dp/1606998870/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1463634807&sr=8-1&keywords=usagi+yojimbo+special+edition
>>82901661
Thank you OP.
> part 1 of 1
and thank you Sakai
>>82914017
not enough people do one and dones these days and it's something that Sakai is really fucking good at.
>>82913821
Different anon.
I actually picked up that box set because of that anon who used to storytime the early UY stories.
>>82913821
Thank you!
>>82914759
I got the fantagraphics on a whim just after christmas since I had a ton of bookstore gift credit and I kept seeing people on /co/ shilling it. Ended up buying all the available Saga books by January
>>82902385
What's with them all falling for Usagi? Does he just have a magnetism for women? Is it that every chick he comes across is so sexually repressed that they fall for the first man that doesn't slap them for not being a complete killing machine?
This one is less bitter when you realize that ninjas don't have nearly as strick of a code as samurai. She could have dropped the job and flown to the beach for as much as ninjas mattered.
>>82912596
>>82912731
That's really rough stuff. I don't think I could cope with that level of shit.
>>82915014
>What's with them all falling for Usagi?
Because the story calls for it? I love UY but Usagi himself is my least favourite character
I think we need lewds of kazehime.
>>82910381
His distrust isn't based on blind bigotry though, it's based on ugly experiences surrounding or involving them, that one Samurai with Tuberculosis, Gunpowder, the guy with a Hara Kiri fetish. I imagine if he met a reasonable foreigner he'd behave very differently.
>>82911445
>>82912555
Sasuke is my favorite NPC. Dat powerlevel, dat anti-social personality disorder, what's not to love?
But I pretty much love all UY characters. I can't even pick a favorite storylie, but Return of the Black Soul is up there. So many feels.

>>82915250
He seems to get along with weeaboos.
>>82915250
>the guy with a Hara Kiri fetish
Man fuck that guy
>>82915250
Too bad there weren't many reasonable foreigners. The Dutch traders weren't too bad I guess. They stayed on their own island.
>>82915975
He looks so weird in this art style. Mirin' them arms gains though.
>>82912187
Literally five issues ago. Things rarely happen off-panel in Usagi.
>>82915073
>>82915014
Because, as it was often stated, Usagi is a handsome fella.
>>82916776
He's also a genuinely kind person, who sticks his neck out for total strangers who seem to be in trouble, which most people in Feudal Japan decidedly did not.
That kind of behavior gets you exceptional results, whether positive or negative.
>>82901661
Oh. It's these cunts again.
>>82916859
I honestly never thought Sakai would manage to produce a cute Komori kunoichi.
What's next, a cute Mogura?
>>82916804
I adore how Usagi likes kids and loves telling them stories. With adults he can quickly lose his patience, but not when it comes to children. He literally allows them to sit on his head and laughs about it, while adults (most often from lower classes) are shocked that a samurai is not only nice, but is willingly wasting his time and energy to entertain children he never met before. It's a nice trait for the hero to have and it made me appreciate Usagi as a character more.
Aw man, why couldn't she be reoccuring?
>>82916900
Bats are cute. It was about time we get one who's not completly ugly.
>a cute mogura
I want to see someine try this.
>>82901661
I both love and hate how those covers lie about what's inside while still giving us a taste of it.
Hey, anyone willing to storytime the recent Chizu meets Kitsune arc? You know, to get the discussion going.
>>82901661
Oh yes, Usagi time
>>82902418
Poor Usagi, it's so rare for him to truly be able to save a life
>>82902436
> Every story after Circles is anyone Usagi ever rescues/cares about getting his or her life ruined
Such is karma
>>82911445
Sasuke is great but Noodles is my fav one cause it shows Kitsunes long hidden real character.
>>82915195
> tfw you have drawn lewds of Jei and Usagi but you don't want to post them because you think it would be in bad taste
When will the government stop my sinful hand?
>>82912950
You already know it's going to happen.
And then YOU are going to die as well.
>>82902436
Why does all Usagi stories have to be so fucking sad?
It's about a fucking rabbit, god damn it!
>>82919068Share...
>>82919068
Don't do it Anon!
Some things are just best left untarnished.
>>82919068
,,, boy jei or girl jei?
>>82912950
>proper ending
Didn't the alien comic take place in the future andKill Hibiki?I'd think that'd effectively wrap up Usagi's big life mission.
>*masterless samurai warrior
Aren't all samurai supposed to be warriors ?
Many thanks OP, those scans are top-notch quality.
>>82901874
>you'd been delirious, talking about your mission.
Yeah, great way to convince her to eliminate the only witness. Good job, Usagi.
>>82920468pre-Grasscutter so boy
>>82920496
Senso was so badly recieved by fans it's canonicy is even questioned in the comic itself.
Usagi Gundam was a neat touch though
Well, taht was a nice story. Too bad it didn't turn into seeing a recurring character fthat sides with Hikibi.
>>82912731
Poor guy. I'm surprised he still draws Usagi.
>>82915014
He fucks like a rabbit.
>>82920496
>>82920565
It also killed Usagi after revealing his great secret was pointless and no one he knew lived happily afterwards.
Perfect coda
>>82921068
It was even more disappointing than End of Evangelion.
And that's really really saying something.
>>82910381
He loves him some New York Turtles.
>>82916900
a moe mogura?
>>82902074
>no one on either side got paid
Classic Usagi
So besides the demon queller who is the strongest character in the series? I think it might be Lord Hebi.
>>82923737
Noodles was super strong. There were few other minor fighters too. Hebi is a powerhouse that is alive though and that's what counts
>>82902481
thank you for storytiming
>>82916900
>Make a cute Neko ninja
>Give her bat blade wings
Would have been cuter if her fangs stuck out.
>>82918825
The joke is that he is a terrible bodyguard. When he takes a job as a yojimbo then its a guarantee to end badly.
At least I hope it's a joke.
>>82921130
>>82921068
>>82920565
I was expecting a slap to the nuts with senso and wasn't disappointed.
I know why everyone thought it was cannon. I thought it was from that -Vs. Mars thing all of dark horse was doing at the time.
>>82902418
>Her skull breath has her hair.
>>82920552
>supposed to
Samurai was a social caste. There were samurai women, samurai children, samurai courtiers, samurai bureaucrats, etc.
The actual Samurai Warrior wasn't always a given, even if it was theoretically the expectation.
>>82924914
I thought all people in the samurai cast, including women, recieved at least basic warrior training.
>>82920879
>He fucks like a rabbit.
Wouldn't that be a bad thing because he'd be too fast?
>>82927991
He'll be ready to go again right away
>>82920565
So is Senso official canon?
>>82928850
No. There's even doubt it happened. It exists as a story told by Space Usagi.
So I really enjoyed this, but I'm not sure about the best place to start. I'd like to start reading from the very beginning, but I noticed that there are Saga books and then regular volumes. What's the difference?
>>82929715
Saga books are collected issues. Best to invest in them.
>>82929738
So the first saga volume has all the first issues? Any other material you'd recommend? I read there's about thirty years of comics printed.
>>82929844
Saga/Omnibus is collected stuff it goes up to book #28
Books are collected issues and go up to Issue #151 right now.
Issues are at #154 I believe.
Other than the main storyline there's Space Usagi, There's also Yokai graphic novel and the Senso series.
>>82919034
> Noodlee
Oh god here come the tears again.
That story got to me. That was beyond brutal.
>>82930742
there, there, anon. We still got at least three major waifusfor now
>>82929844
Start with the Special Edition set, it has all the pre-dark horse comics. The Saga books chronicle everything where the SE ends.
>>82930742
I really liked it because it showed Kitsune as a really caring and nice character... the fact that after Noodles she went back to pretending nothing happened is kinda jarring.
>>82934010
Girl's gotta do what she can to get by :^)
>>82934571
That phrase is great, because I feel like we've heard it under so many contexts throughout the story. Some times it's almost road runner levels of always getting the last laugh, but other times it's pretty bitter.
A cute komori kunoichi, a nimble neko ninja or a moe mogera mistress?
>>82935057
The past time we heard it I wanted Chizu to catch up to Kitsune, slap her in the face and take back what she stole.
Chizu is best waifu, by the way. That softie ninja girl robbed of her clan is much more interesting that any other female in the story.
Thanks OP. Most shops I go to only stock one or two issues of this a month, so I miss it for a month or two.
Usagi's really the only comic I get anymore, it's just so fun to read.
>>82935702
Chizu is such a fun character, but I want to see what happens with Tomoe's arranged marriage.
>>82912596
>>82912731
Hooo boy. Maybe we should get him something, try to cheer him up. Anyone want to collab on some art?
>>82935702
Kitsune and Chizu would hate fuck hard.
>>82901661
Bump
>>82932699
Sweet. I'll check it out.
