Guys, I have found secret footage of Neko Ninja trying to kill Noriyuki! Again!https://youtu.be/HMlu7ZleclI?is=K_WRgYot2nrO-aBl
>>153216822imagine seeing a dude walk down the street and his shirt just has the letter A all over it
>>153218130Huh. someone reasonable. feels weird.
>>153218097my favorite is the one where he jumps way too far out than the guy at the table he is aiming it.
>>153218137I've been to Oakland.
>>153217898>>153217917Jei doesn't kill kids, the parents are gonna die for giving him sweets tho
>>153218111>>153218120>>153218130>usagi’s so firm in his innocence that he’s willing to lay his sword down while kato goes for the killArguably one of the more badass showings of usagi, takes balls to pull a move like that. Gotta be my fav stare down from him
>>153218183I always thought he murked the entire family
>>153218251hah. rape.
>>153218218How many generations of inkeeper's family will be crucified because of him owning so many swords as a non-samurai?
>>153218251>>153218241>>153218228I CAN FIX HER!!
>>153218293>Actions have consequences? THE FUCK!?
>>153218183Jei seemed to always work on a logic of killing those who are scared of him or judge him, so we should assume kids too oftentimes. That said, Jeinazuma certainly seemed weirder and choosier
>>153217486>I'm just gonna forget about the murder and torture now that I heard you've got a tragic backstory
>>153218340Time for the streets to be watered in blood.>>153218400The bloodshed in this issue is so prominent it almost becomes tedious.
>A Town Called Hell - Assault on Boss Higahttps://youtu.be/o_yovneHbOA
>>153217897>Stan what the fuckI don't know how true this is, but I remember anons saying that this was written as a reaction to his one-year-old grandson dying suddenly for no apparent reason. You can kinda see it too, if you read it with that idea in mind.
>>153218460>We offel an honolabulu comupulomisu! Justu wakku away!
>>153218462This is 2009, about four years before that happens. I don't think many of these stories are direct responses to events in his life, but a more general "his mood had darkened due to many things going on irl and therefore so did the tone of the stories"
>>153218462Not true. It was written 3 years before that tragedy.
>>153218258>>153218347IIRC we haven't seen him waste a kid yet, and the dark gods have been generally easygoing towards actual innocents in their depictions. Healing the one in the Jizonobu story (gods, not Jei that is), then him taking Keiko in, even treating Yukichi "normally" rather than cutting him down. IMO you can interpret either way. Killing the whole family is more impactful but there's enough wiggle room to take it the orphan route.
>>153218137Must be a huge Gura fan.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Uzw1Zr1FE4
feeling some deja-vu, usagi?
>>153218579And then they fucked. The end.

this is it for today, thanks for reading.
>>153218277He'll be a merchant, so he's actually allowed to buy, sell and own swords as long as he doesn't wear more than one.
>>153218709And thank you for the storytime, murder
>>153218709>>153218701The repeated mentions of Yokai make me think it maybe would make sense to have it storytimed around here. Sorry, not to get in your case Murderanon, just pondering as I try to understand the order these books came out in, etc.
>>153218553that specific "one arm off the sleeve and rubbing their chin" pose has been popping up. is there some kind of significance to it?
Gonna post couple of memes from past years.
>>153218796
Book 27567 Usagis (12272 total)974 Panels (26147 total)No Nekos (1183 total)No Komori (198 total)No Mogura (37 total)No Ninjas of the Dark Light (4 total)Here is the twelve thousandth Usagi.
>>153218813I want her to give me that glare.
>>153218701>Mogura have been undergroundkek
>>153217346The footfag stalks its prey...
>>153218749I post it later because it comes bundled with the Legends Saga book, and that's what Dharma did in the before-times. I also like having a dedicated thread to it because yokai are fun, but you're right it would fit here just fine. I'm really thinking of doing a proper chronological order next year.
>>153218524>>153218545Check! I'll remember that for future times of story.
>>153218579Kato's going to plap that furry maid all night
>>153218868Yeah, I understand the logic- it's a standalone story, etc. I guess the way it just makes most sense to me is to keep stuff like Space Usagi separate, but for stuff like this, might as well have it in in the correct place both publishing-wise and story-wise- since I now assume Stan intended for us to know Sasuke's backstory when we next see him
Fun volume. Thanks!
>>153218553I always thought it was stupid that Usagi didn't just say "we're here because he cheated us out of TWO hundred ryo, you know" here. It would have made a lot more sense as a reason for them to just tap out.
>>153218835Forgot I had this one!I also have it in english, if you want it.
>>153217443The entire thing is less like a monster encounter and more like a gag fight out of Evil Dead 2 or Army of Darkness. It's actually pretty great and the fact that we have a peaceful ending with one of the yokai is pretty unique given how these usually go.
>>153218560What if he just stole their teru bozu?Isn't that dastardly evil enough?Usagi gave it to them so he's taking it away! Evil Justice!
>>153218317The goons faces seem more and more funny the more you look.
>>153219050oh yeah this is the famous page that gives us these
>>153218709Thanks for storytiming, Murder!

>>153218778Yojimbo nod/reference, though I imagine it's got to be more than just that.
>>153218928Speaking of Sasuke, look who's gonna appear in Kaito '84. And unlike all the reincarnations/descendants/modern variations of UY characters, I'm pretty sure it's the same old fox, but even older.
>>153218460sensible goons

>>153219420Sasuke in the year 6810 "just let me die"
>>153219420Anon, Sasuke has been around since Heian period. That was in 12th century. Usagi is set in 17th century.
>>153219455SHOKI SAYS GO EAST. THERES SOME FUCKED UP SHIT IN MEGACITY NAGASAKI
>>153218591>But Usagi already headed towards the rising sun>I'm a poor, lonesome ronin...
>>153219479>Shoki sama...there is no more Megacity Nagasaki. It's gone. Everyone's gone. I'm all that's left.
>>153219455Shoki: "Sasuke! Another snake cult has appeared in Alpha Draconis system! You must go there to quell them!"Sasuke: "May I use a space-craft this time, O lord Shoki?"Shoki: "Do I look like I'm made out of money!? Use your spirit frog like you normally do!"Sasuke: "Yes lord Shoki..."
>>153219359Looks like!
>>153219504This sounds like a dick flattening meme at this point.
>>153219347... I am not apologizing.
>>153219504If I ever get a chance I'm gonna ask Stan what Sasuke did to wind up in servitude to Shoki for centuries.
>>153219665My guess is it had something to do with his wife.We'll get there eventually.
>>153219665You'll find out soon enough.
>>153219665I've personally been holding onto the theory that he's not always been a good person, and this whole thing is a punishment because it was either quelling spirits or right into the deep boiler room of jigoku for all time. It would explain why Shoki seems to be riding him with no breaks but it would also make an interesting mirror of Jei>A good man makes a deal with wicked gods and becomes a menace to Japan for all time>A bad man is offered a deal by the 'good' gods and becomes a force for good in Japan for all time
>>153219267Shoki meeting Misa and being involved in her Eko Eko Shenanigan Azarak.
>>153217730Lucky for them, the magic words don't work in reverse, so saying "they're only a hundred guys!" doesn't spell your doom.

>>153218097God this is magnificent
>>153217918That's a *BONK*ing, Usagi.
>>153217129Do we ever see Ayaka again?
>>153219359Certainly Usagi's descendant, whether the others are also descendants or just coincidence or sort of reincarnations is ambiguous. Space Usagi established it first, that there's just "here's X character but the space version", and it's always never explained if, say, a Space Usagi version of Ishida (which IIRC is not a thing that happens, I'm using it as a random possible example) would be an actual Ishida descendant or if by sheer cosmic coincidence a similar guy with a similar look and name and personality just happened to develop by the time of Space Usagi
>>153220282No, she died, you can stop reading this storytime now.
>>153216725I like the realistic skull in the thoughtbubble.
>>153220361Funny animal Japan automatically generates it's own tragic characters by evolutionary bushido pressure.
>>153217625I expected him to refuse despite knowing what would happen and go right back to Yakichi and die horribly and stoiclyGlad we got this
>>153218400>ten ryo for killing Usagi and KatoYou cheapass son of a bitch!
>>153217798>>153217837Last thread had him killed by a jealous husband and bleed out in a burning house. Bit odd that Usagi dies in two issues back to back
>>153217803Having dream where you use the toilet usually results in an unpleasant surprise when you wake up, so this guy is lucky
>>153219317Dammit, Usagi, I know you're a dumb country bumpkin, but you don't green the t.!
>>153218139Kato is weirdly intelligent for Feudal Japan. He gets a good job as a bodyguard. He recognises Usagi is a dangerous foe and wisely agrees when Usagi comes with a peace offering. He isnt blinded by rage when Usagi tries to reason with him.
>>153217877I genuinely think this is the best Jei story. There's never been a more effective use of him even though he was really good in stories like his origin, the first time he meets Usagi, and Grasscutter.
>>153220944And he actually has a moral compass too >>153218218
>>153219788I like this. There's got to be a reason Sasuke is doing this alone for centuries and maybe millennia when the gods should be capable of making a new champion for every century.
>>153217898I think the implication is pretty strong>12+(villages)
>>153217877I still can never get over Keiko expression in that last panel. I like to think she is at the stage where she has started to be able to see Jei's good and evil herself and some serious shit just opened the door.
>>153221835I think she's permanently 'weird' at this point. Remember she was eating grubs and rotten food like it was fine cuisine while on the road and keeps going to where her Uncle is. I think that's just her default expression now. She has a shamans eyes. Eyes that have seen too much.
>>153217625What a nice ending.
>>153217630Cute orange ghost>>153217714Jesus
>>153218017Smart rufians
>>153218560I don't think he has qualms about killing a kid though on principle, as he was fully willing to stick the Goyo princess and only stopped himself inches away from her face when he realised she was innocent.
>>153217111This is hardcore!
>>153222352Kek
>>153216725lmao, glowing endorsement aside...i must say darrow's take on sakai's anthros are most cursed....most cursed.
>>153220944And he is smart another to realize strong willed barmaids are best girls and not fumble his.
>last thread well on its way to Yomi>people are still talking about /ourqueller/Love that for our boy. >>153219788>>153221217>when the gods should be capable of making a new champion for every century.To riff on this idea, maybe there is also alongside the guilt and atonement also an innate stubbornness in Sasuke's mortal character that draws him to Lord Shoki as well. Lord Shoki who in his mortal life as the failed scholar Zhong Kui beat himself to death out of sheer frustration and then resurrected himself out of a personal sense of obligation to his emperor to quell demons on his behalf. I like to believe that something similar to mantling from the Elder Scrolls is going on with Sasuke and Shoki, and eventually Sasuke himself will ascend and become a new incarnation of Shoki.
>>153221217>There's got to be a reason Sasuke is doing this alone for centuries and maybe millennia when the gods should be capable of making a new champion for every century.There's also the theory that Sasuke is grooming Usagi to be his replacement and/or partner. Usagi doesn't seem to be interested but if anyone could play the long game, it'd be Sasuke.
>>153218361rare jeisagi
>>153221908I always read keiko turning weird as jei’s own creepiness rubbing off on her. She is pretty young and she’s been traveling with him for a while with him as a defacto parent, wouldn’t be too farfetched for her to pick up on his mannerisms
>>153222924Someone save her
>>153222744I rebuke this fate
>>153222948Save her? From what?She right now is the safest loli in all of Feudal Japan! No one can touch her.
>>153219252>it's got to be more than just that.Does it, though? Japanese media is highly referential and I feel like people too often give it a pass for how unoriginal and derivative it can be. Just like how every 'geyser of blood' from anime can ultimately trace its origin back to that one scene from Sanjuro, or the famous 'Akira slide,' the stock 'samurai rubbing his chin with his arms inside his sleeves' might just literally be everyone thinking how cool Toshiro Mifune is and wanting to put that in their work.
>>153222672>Sasuke is gifted freedom if he can overcome a tired Shoki>wins>actually becomes the new Shoki FOREVER (or like 3000 years idk)>Sasuke gets FEUDAL JAPANED one last time
>>153222984She's also walking with a super murder demon wolf coyote man and eating bugs. She should be free to have adventures.
>>153217650Yeah, I noticed it too. But it couldn't be Lord Araki's clan mon, the story itself makes it very obvious. Of course, very similar clan mons are not without precedent in real life, but I believe Stan just made a rare goof and reused the same mon. In the big poster I made the bottom line a little thicker to differentiate it from the Araki clan mon.
>>153223091>sasuke becomes the new shoki, freeing him from his job of demon quelling>…except he didn’t have anyone waiting in the wing to take over as the new sasuke>and those demons aren’t gonna quell themselves>has to keep quellin’ until he can find a replacement
>>153219137
>>153223195Hmm yes a replacement. Where would he find one of those.
>>153218097>Kagemaru reading all the after action reports, sweating kunai's thinking about how he's going to have to explain this to Lord Hebi
>>153220933You do if you're accusing the other of being the signer?
>>153218210Honor is stored in the eyebrows, and sometimes the mustache. Usagi knew Kato is a good dude.
>>153223195>>has to keep quellin’ until he can find a replacementSaskushoki's ultimate goal is to be to out Jei in a pokeball and deploy him to Quelling needs. >You've been calling yourself blade of the gods a little too long there buddy. Time to put that money where your mouth is.
>>153216747My favorite mini-arc!
>>153222991Might just be how people rolled in those times, keeping your arms tucked in is great to conserve heat and you can undress the upper body immediately if there's trouble.And if you've got even just a little beard scratching it is natural.
>>153223137Oh cool, I figured you'd be on top of this. Thanks, Mon-Anon!
>>153223259Señor Medelaro!
>>153222948That's kinda what my lewd comic idea is about, if I can ever comm an artist
>>153217630>traditional Japanese arts and crafts from the storytime host himselfWith every new year and with every new storytime we inch closer and closer to manifesting Feudal Japan back into reality.
>>153222948Real question is who would wanna save her? At this point she’s far too creepy for anyone to wanna take her. She’s basically loli jei minus all the killing (and who’s to say she won’t pick that up eventually to larp as him) and no, you cannot fix her
>>153223320t. wrong on 4chan
>>153222672Damn, the artist who made this made Sasuke look [spoiler/]hot[/spoiler] despite having to stitch a large gash on his chest.
>>153217976Remember those mon.

>>153217159I had forgotten this storyNot a big fan, it's kinda just a retread of usagi and gen doing a similar setupthe only real difference is the darker edge to it, and the fact usagi made the town only marginally better
>>153217215lmao
>>153223894Thank you, anon! I'll go check it out.
>>153216764It feels like Stan keeps trying to do Yojimbo, and every time he's tweaking the story because he wasn't happy with some element of his last attempt
>>153218928yeah I understand, especially with anons already blabering about the reveal at the end... one thing to consider is, yokai is some 70 pages and most storytimes are between 160 - 200. I tried to keep all the threads roughly equal in content, posting it now would necessitate some shuffling, or maybe doing it on a weekend so people have more time to read. >>153223894even if he's too busy to join in, you can still feel his presence in these threads...
>>153218432yeah really wtf
>>153217501what kind of animal is this dude?
>>153224107Some type of vole, I should think.

>>153218097I'm pretty sure the one where the ninja climbs the interior wall only to fall to his death because the exterior had a much steeper drop was actually a bit in Usagi.The last one gave me a craving for Chizu stuck in a wall lewds

>>153217714Reminder, this shit fucking happeneda brown bear woken up early from hibernation went on a rampage and killed, like, a dozen people in a town
>>153224778That's a good way to get you and everyone you know killed. What you need is a giant dude with a shaved head waving rosary beads around and screaming at her for 24 hours.
>>153218097Here's video proof the neko ninja are actually epic and competent, but only against unnamed charactershttps://youtu.be/MIXZUMwja-s?si=SkHJr39DJgdIxaXH
>>153224906yeah the uh sanketsu bear incident or somethingalso this makes me said usagi can't really do a story about bears in japan they were (and still are actually) a real fucking menace

Welcome back to the death rattle tally! Here are the new scream found in today's storytime:>Gyax!: 1>Gnnh!: 1See attachment for total cry so far. As always, if you have any questions about the count, feel free to ask.
>>153225399To continue the Miyamoto line, ghost Usagi is probably willing to point you towards some important historical sites or ninja bunkers.If it was up to me, he'd get together with Cutesune, or perhaps some cyberpunk-lite Mayumi but it isn't up to me.Why do the fangirls want him to fuck the turtle? Rise wasn't even good.
Pardon me talking about previous thread stuff, got caught up with work and doing my best to catch up again.>>153186972One thing that really chaps my ass about the whole Inazuma subplot is how ultimately she didn't really DO a whole lot as Jei. Like, she was hyped up to be the strongest swordsman in the series, but as Jei she never actually fought Usagi himself iirc, which makes me wonder what was even the point of hyping her up like this. It's not like Jei's backstory hinged on Inazuma existing. At most she just fights Gen/Stray Dog, but even they they only survive though sheer plot armor and the implication that Gen is a Seed of Jei.I get that Stan planned for her to die from that start, that I accept. But that just makes her feel even more of a waste by the end of it. Again, apologies for dragging this back up when we really should've moved on from this.
>>153218027>il est qu'un mec!
>>153201223What the FUCK.
>>153225538I think what stan was going for with Inazuma was showing us this person of great skill and potential to reach greater heights that gets consumed by Jei and rotted away. She dies of a wound in a random building and Jei moves on. Inazuma gets no great final duel as herself or Jeizuma. Jei's a demonic killer but also a corrosive force that can undo even someone like Inazuma leaving behind only a broken husk.
>>153225505>Why do the fangirls want him to fuck the turtle? Rise wasn't even goodHe looks like a slutty twink, that's why.
>>153225505>>153226139>turtle shit
>>153225505fujoshis, not even once
>>153224881this art is sick, what's the artist?
>>153226039Shoki doesn't care about Jei anymore now that Jei isn't in a woman's body.
>>153216702The most, he is only one guy, cover
>>153201256That mught actually be the most gruesome death in the series thus far. Like, that's an Indiana Jones villain death, on some mook at that.

Are there many dark and stormy night type Usagi stories?
>>153227589There's a few that involve storms, and a few that involve murders in isolated locations
>>153227589>>153227695We got a real nice storm story coming up. Ready the drums.
>>153227695>>153227810Thanks. I love stories in rainstorm settings.
>>153208607Kiyoko's pretty competent, but I think Jotaro rivals her easily, if not outright outclasses her. Hard to top Jotaro being able to beat a giant assassin on his own that would even give Usagi trouble.
>>153218441I feel like there's some symbolism here with the point made of Usagi handing Kato his swords. A samurai's swords are his soul, and Kato starts his story serving Hell, having sold his swords to one of its masters. But with Usagi's influence he gradually develops more noble intentions, eventually being willing to sacrifice himself for someone else, and this selfess act is what allows Usagi to help Kato save his swords from Boss Higa, the "lord" of Hell.
>>153228141Of Stan's 3 warring town stories, I think this is the best one
>>153218553I like that guy who does the tough-guy thing where he unsweetened an arm...and then puts it back.
>>153218602A very stark character. His hasty attempt to seize dignity fails pathetically and no one cares. In a much nicer version of the story he'd have come through and married Ayaka
>>153217278>How can I sleep when a complete stranger on the internet is WRONG
>>153217396Mazel Tov!
>>153217501Christ. Look at this dogass ronin.
>>153218579I always feel like they should be pinning a sheriff's badge on him here.
>>153228261>unsweetened?
>>153228917probably means the guy who took his arm of his sleeve
>>153217969>I cannot possibly just take the L and move on with my lifeFucking Bushido, man.
Given how Usagi is unlikely to ever face off and personally end Hikiji, I have a theory on how that will be resolved.Someone mentioned that he's based in part on Date Masamune, so what if Hikiji's ultimate fate is to get almost everything he wants?Hikiji manages to climb all the way to becoming a respected elder statesman, but is "too important" to actually have much say in administration or policy. This would be enough for most people, but for someone as ambitious as he is, it is a special kind of personal jigoku to be so close to and so far from the true seat of power.
>>153218156Condolences.
>>153229327He strikes me as the type to shrug it off and keep trying to find ways to take over from his seemingly ceremonial position.
>>153219267>Well>Good morning to you too>Asshole
Welp, still made it, now if you'll excuse me I should go back to being sick
I wish Darkhorse did Usagi vs Predator.
>>153216764>Ishii's too incompetent to get even a decent bribeI feel this dude so hard, honestly that's what pisses me off about corrupt officials. It's not enough for them to be morally bankrupt bastards, they're also more than willing to sell out their own constituents for what's effectively chump change.
>>153229808he's just one man, what's he supposed to do against 2 gangs of dudes by himself and a bunch of coward peasants?
>>153228127Now imagine what their hypothetical kid would be like.
>>153229679Have fun with your coughing disease brought by the black ships.
>>153225505>Cyberpunk-lite MayumiThat brings me back.https://litter.catbox.moe/4w5kcdit5ezfu3gb.png

>>153216801 Holy shit, a woman bitch slapping one of these Feudal bastards for a change is so fucking cathartic.
>>153216835Eyebrows respect eyebrows.
>>153216862>I don't pay you to thinkOh he salty as hell.
>>153216874Man Usagi trying to piss off EVERYONE today.
>>153217197Same. She's doing a great job filling that Mayumi shaped hole on my heart.
>>153230392this is Usagi storytime thread, not /hmofa/
>>153224068They called me crazy. They never called me wrong.>>153223894>>153225143Some very talented female artists draw lots of TMNT fanart because "four buff (nearly) naked dudes with distinct personalities". They draw Usagi fanart because "bunny cute". They draw a lot of TMNT Rise and Samurai Rabbit fanart because "twinks". It just ticks all the boxes for horny girls. It helps that TMNT is not considered as a furry franchise by the general audience, despite absolutely being an anthro franchise.>>153225505>Rise wasn't even goodHow dare you.>>153229679Sick? More like, SICK FANART, dude! >>153229884>Gen's adopted daughter and Usagi's bastard sonWhat a pairing.>>153230392Anon, have mercy on that man.>>153230437I remember shilling Mayumi during the first storytimes, when almost nobody else cared. People liking her is one of my greatest achivement in these storytimes.
>>153216925Welp, he's a dead man.
>>153216952RIP Ishii. At least you went out finally trying.
>>153230572>Stan sakai creates a likable, tragic character>you know who deserves credit for that? Me.
>>153216979>"Hey, where you goin'? Don't you ignore me! This is a perfectly good moment to throw your life away!"
>>153230678Rest in peace Danu Backsrido.
>>153230696Lmao. Absolutely not what I meant. But nobody was calling her Best Girl till I went all in, like it was an election campaign, all those years ago.
>>153230392I love this story, very cute
>>153223833>>153223729
>>153223259>Every ****ing day. Every ****ing day this little ronin just sits there and gives me this stupid look on his face.
>>153217111Jesus. You almost never see bodies desecrated like this in this comic, it's so jarring. Goes to show what utter lowlives these fuckers are.
>>153217142Wow, dude actually knew his place and backed off immediately.
Jei will go down against old man Sasuke and Usagi's distant descendant>I couldn't kill...THAT MAN...but I can kill YOU!>demonic wolf spearman screeching>Leave the boy alone, Jei!>Sasuke! You're still alive after all these years!>There is still one last evil for me to remove from this world!
>>153229327Hikiji survives to become the dark emperor of space Usagi where Usagi reincarnates into a space opera version of himself to finally bring down Hikiji (let me dream). How dangerous of a combatant is Hikiji? Could Usagi beat him one on one?
>>153231433To be fair, Feudal Japanese armies did this on the regular and the same fate would have befallen lord Mifune, if Usagi hadn't hidden his cranium in the woods.
>>153231535Although, considering Mifune was a lord, they would have probably displayed his head more like this.On an unrelated note, searching for a image of a severed samurai head sent me down a rabbit hole where I discovered a thousand year old samurai rebels head, spooking people around modern Tokyo area for centuries and doing all sorts of mischief, like killing a bulldozer driver during American occupation, for almost bulldozing his burial mound.More info on this totally trustworthy sounding websitehttps://pinktentacle.com/2010/03/tokyo-terror-severed-samurai-head-in-otemachi/
>>153217185Usagi sit your ass back down and finish listening to her story.
>>153217215KEK
>>153217301What the FUCK. I'm going to be honest, I was not expecting this story to pivot to supernatural stuff at all.>>153217327And here I thought Usagi was going to play matchmaker with the old people.
>>153217335>Do you believe I enjoy human flesh?Well, uh, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that's a rabbit.
>>153231767>>153217396...huh. So I was actually right, in a way. Pretty great story regardless, though.
>>153217418>Flook!Dammit! Just ONE letter away from being added to the FLOO counter!
>>153231776At first I thought nothing about it, but now, after re-reading the story so many times, whenever they refer to themselves as "human", it becomes more and more Silent Hill-y to me.>A rabbit? Oh, so he looks like a rabbit TO YOU?
>>153217455So is it like a samurai thing to just trauma dump your life's story to people you just met? Usagi did this exact thing to Gen in one of their early encounters.
>>153217543Huh, it's actually been a while since a horse showed up in this comic.>>153217551RIP horse.
>>153217583Holy shit. With how swords are always hyped up as a samurai's soul I honestly forgot they could even break.
>>153231642>a thousand year old samurai rebels head, spooking people around modern Tokyolet me guess, it's Taira Masakado.>Taira no Masakado was born and raised in eastern Japan. After leading a minor rebellion and assuming control of eight provinces in northern Kanto, Masakado declared himself the new emperor of Japan.yep. and man did history do my boy dirty, the real story is a lot more complicated. easily recommend pic related if you want to know more:>Even celebrated “rebels” like Masakado and Taira Tadatsune were more like unruly adolescents testing the limits of state patience than revolutionaries seeking to overthrow the state. Neither was willfully in defiance of central government authority—at least not initially. Their quarrels were local, not national; their insurgencies aimed at specific provincial officials and their subordinates and policies, not the national polity. And even after their actions rendered them state criminals, their first—and most enduring—instincts were to seek reconciliation with the state through the offices of patrons in the capital.
>>153217625Tomoe denied a partner yet again.
>>153217630Cute.
>>153217714I keep getting blindsided by the supernatural stuff in this Storytime, holy hell.
>>153217739The kid survived?!
>>153217865Oh no, please don't tell me Jei's here.
>>153217877FUUUUUUUUCKKKK!
>>153232048Man dude, you're psychic!
>>153230572>TMNT is not considered as a furry franchise by the general audience, despite absolutely being an anthro franchiseReptile focus makes it scalie. There's less overlap between the two groups than you might expect.
>>153229327I'm placing bets on Hikiji being the ultimate Jei vessal that Usagi will have to defeat, as a way get rid of both entities with one stone.
>>153232084“Hikijei”
>>153232433Jeikiji! Doubt Stan would do that, though. Feels too on-the-nose.
