just look at how ridiculously big yukichi's eyes are compared to usagi
>fat crime bosses: 4
>>153386962>>153386970Interesting how usagi IMMEDIATELY calls out kitsune’s bullshit when it comes to yukichi if only he did that all the time
do NOT hold your loli like that
>>153386921>Kitsune's legsDamn, I hate that fox.....
>>153387122>by the second panel, Kiyoko was starting to enjoy it
>>153387232Enter fat crime lord number 6, played by Ed Asner
>>153386921Groan
>It's a Yukichi AND Kitsune episodeshould I even bother reading this one?
>>153387210I dont know whos more of an idiot, Usagi for not instantly recognizing him or him never changing his looks.
>>153387332The eyes, they're driving me mad!
>>153387343you can just look at the pretty pictures if you like
>>153387352My glowie senses are tingling!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvkTVq2eISg
>>153387067>Look you can "borrow" from me or Gen, but no one else!
>jizo statues: 246
>>153387210If you can save one and ONLY one from a grisly fate, which one anons?>Kitsune >Snitch
>>153387612the snitch already is living a grisly fate being an eta class.
>>153387612Kitsune. She’s at least cute and doesn’t deserve death, only wife correctionThere is nothing redeeming about the snitch
>>153386970This is just ridiculously flanderized at this point.
>>153387352Shogunate agent detected
https://youtu.be/-uxpcFjSY3w
>>153386992>wanted him to know that we are not to be trifled withHe let you leave town without punishment after getting caught burgling and breaking out of jail! I swear, this is starting to get pathological. Either she's an extreme narcissist or a genuine sociopath at this point.I'm glad Usagi is at least verbally recognizing their bullshit, even if he's still humoring her company.
>>153387794I can't believe Yukichi is fucking dead!
>>153387833Wait, wasn’t that “feeling” the same one that lead him to kidnap joataro way back? Or did that not count since the gods directly told him to do it (albeit without disclosing their familial relationship)
>>153386956Yukichi's eye's aren't that much bigger than Kitsune's. I'm leaning strongly towards the Yukichi = female fan theory.
>>153386876Red>>153386908Blue>>153386932White
>>153387982Keiko might be the most fucked up character or at least near the top. How would one "de-program" her?
>>153387938His eyes are the same size as Kitsune and Keiko but they have that anime glow thay makes them feel bigger.
>>153387067Wow he didn't gave a shit when Jotaro got robbed.
this is it for today, thanks for reading.
>>153388026Jei’s influence has seeped deep into her, don’t think you’re un-fucking that up. And that’s assuming you even get a chance given jei will merc your ass for coming close to her
>>153388067Thanks for posting, Murder. Always fun to read and make more edits with shitty jokes.
>>153387346Did you know that this story has THE MOST cases of eyes changing color to a completely different one per page? I know, I counted last year!There is also a single issue when Yukichi switches his eye color SEVEN TIMES to one of FOUR different colors.
>>153388094
>>153388067Thanks for posting!My personal verdict is that this was the weakest volume so far of the whole run.
>>153386949I think it's just that he never Stops it with the anime eyes. Pretty much everyone else does the little dot eyes for certain reactions or expressions. Shit even Kenichi didBut Yukichi is constantly wide eyed.
>>153387705When did Kitsune start becoming a cartoon character that doesn't fit into the setting of the comic?
Book 38293 Usagis (17002 total)566 Panels (34402 total)266 Yukichis (421 total)No Nekos (1308 total)No Komori (203 total)No Mogura (37 total)No Ninjas of the Dark Light (4 total)No Zō Ninja (1 total)No Hae Ninja (1 total)17k Usagi first, then I'll post Yukichis
>>153386949Yukichi is clearly a woman, you can't stop me imagining otherwise.
>>153387022How the fuck does she have the gall to look offended.
Left to right, 200, 300, 400
>>153388094One of the few redeeming things of this story; kitsune actually gets serious pushback and called out for her shit (only for the universe to bend over backwards to give her a win). Somehow this story’s both incredibly satisfying and incredibly frustrating
>>153388099Oh, and it's THIS one! >>153387586Also my memory was wrong, it's 9 switches and 5 different colors!
>>153387053a half-hearted attempt to explain how they're not rich when they always win.
>>153387068I know Kitsune fought in her intro chapter, but Stan seemed to back off from that pretty hard in later appearances...but now she and Kiyoko keeping up with Usagi.
>>153388189The snake oil story.
>>153387162At least she's willing to just outright take a loss if it'll help Kiyoko.
>>153388277Only explanation I have is that Yukichi is high on LSD.https://youtu.be/fVGBo5X8wvQ?si=pAFnZe-JHnZx3XcJ&t=231
>>153387198Nice to know the snitch spent some of his money on dental work.
>>153387779For all of the IDW run's wonkiness, this re-introduction of Keiko as a full-fledged horror-movie "creepy little girl" has much more flavor than the disinterested bystander she was before.
>>153387717>river coldSomething wrong with the phrase "ice cold"? It's a figure of speech, it's not like it doesn't work without refridgeration.
>>153387778It also contradicts the first time Kitsune encountered Ishida where he took her for a thief right away and (obliquely) told her to fuck off and she did so immediately without seeming annoyed about it.
>>153388326I assumed Usagi, the Nekos, and all the other hardened killers thinned the ranks of tougher goons.
>>153387833Does this make just three people Jei has explicitly deemed "not evil"?And two of them were the J->K joke.
>>153386970>Samurai can't cut you down if you steal their swords, Nee-san.
>>153388026Marriage
>>153387001Some weird gap moe with sleepy Snitch.
>>153388392Or perhaps there really is a whole clan of snitches.
>>153388045This one is wild.
>>153388026John 3:16, and then Austin 3:16
>>153388205That's the joke. Fuck's sake. Stop being a nigger for a few storytimes.
>>153387530>>153387541>>153387523Fuck you, YOU WHORE!
>>153388643It wouldn't work for a comic, but honestly as a few pictures for an illustrated novel it would be fucking awesome.
>>153386977>>153386984Usagi is strangely done with her shit. It almost feels out of character for him to actually act like anyone else would in this situation.
>>153387001>>153387022This feels like Inasuma or that other guy turning into Jei.
>>153388527J-K, you say?>Kichi is a Japanese female given name meaning "fortunate," "lucky," or "blessed"This is now my favorite conspiracy.
I genuinely like Kitsune, she's great>>153388925That sword adventure from last time really pissed him off. He still won't let her be arrested or hurt but he can allow himself to be extra annoyed this time.
>>153388986I genuinely hate you
>>153387062>To HELL with all this reasonable discussion that will ultimately benefit us!>ATTACK!
>>153387541>>153387553I feel half of Kitsune's bad behaviour is because Usagi enabled her for so long. If he said "cut that shit out" early when they meet she wouldn't try to rob he friends blind that often.
>>153388469I remember we had a discussion on this last year but tldr ice was not a common thing people had access to back then, let alone saw, so “river cold” was the colloquial term since for most people that was the coldest thing they’ve felt
>>153387068I'm tellin you Kyoko is being wasted with Kitsune, she can fight grow men on her own Katsuichi should train her or something.
>>153386940He chooses to meddle
>>153387586>Fire festivalPrepare the scam
>>153387612The Snitch
>>153387496>middle left panelman is getting a feel of kitsune's kitsunes
>>153387586A Festival, eh?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bn0CdEh4Mq8
>>153387870>>153387882>Attacking the wood cutters.Shame! Shame on their blood line!
>>153388986I don't hate her, but she constantly goes one step too far. She can be amazing from time to time, but Usagi has less and less reasons to help her. She lacks balance, 50/50 mischievous and helpful would be perfect, but she's more like 90/10 right now.
>>153387833>>153387843I keep saying one oj Jei triggers is people agreeing with him out of fear, Yukishi did not such a thing and managed to survive.
>>153387889>>153387900>>153387916Complete assholes.
>>153388469>Something wrong with the phrase "ice cold"?Not having access to ice.
>>153387996Usagi has a sudden need run the opposite way.
>>153388102Making the books hentai is my favorite edit joke.
>>153389075Between the two, she's also rhe better thief. If she doesn't get cut down by an angry Samurai, that girl's gonna steal the three treaures by the time she's legal.
>>153388469Ice cold is different than river cold. And also the equivalent of the river styx is the "Sanzu River" 三途の川. This is Yomi, not to be confused with Ennma's Hell.>>153388469Do you remember what it takes to GET ice? A hint. Last time it invovled a bunch of bushido. And by bushido I mean dead samurai..
>>153388637I'm going with an entire clan, like nurse joys and officer jennys. But I woudln't be shocked if it turns out that there's a minor kami of weasels, and they're just making offerings to him.
>>153387496Kistune's reasonable-sized tatas
>>153388326Kiyoko's flying kick has been ridiculously strong since Traitors of the Earth.
>>153388339Honestly that was the moment I soured on her. Just pay your mooks a fair wage
>>153386992Oh no, not Inspector Ishida's Jitte, the Symbol of his Authority™!>>153387062Kitsune is so nonchalant with all the danger she's gotten herself into
>>153389068>>153389306Japan is not a tropical country. There's ice everywhere in winter.
>>153387507>they're getting away!>thank goodness!heh
>>153388026shes just perfect the way she is
>>153387785>>153387851Jesus she's creepy.
>>153387394>Look buddy, I gotta eat and pay off the setting equivalent to rent lr mortgage>We can't all be homeless protags who somehow always have money for food and temples for shelter!
>>153389288Absolutely. You're not allowed to murder peasants unless you present yourself to the local magistrate afterwards and explain that they disrespected you.
>>153390083
>>153387978>...what's that sound? a flute?Honestly would have been nice to just cut away at that, but I guess he did have to spell it out for the newer readers.
>>153388026correction
>>153387523She may have freed herself, but if the three of you weren't there she would not have been rescued!
>>153390212Kiyoko probably could have snuck out on her own even with the commotion. She even saved Kitsune in the process.
>>153386921FUCK, already?!
First update of the IDW run, which brings us into the triple digits>+1 Pig>New Total: 100
>>153386932Even Usagi thinks it's way too early for this shit.
>>153386940>it's best to not get involved >really?>noKek, Stan's just taking the piss atp.
>>153387982
>>153386949Somehow I don't believe her.
>>153388469Rivers sourced by snowmelt from the mountains are pretty damn cold
>>153386970They really were just going to rob this poor bastard blind. I wouldn't be surprised if Usagi only stepped in because of the swords, even for a simp like him that's a bridge too far.
>>153386984God, they're so fucking annoying, and not even in a charming way.
>>153386992Bitch, you're lucky that the Shogun isn't hunting you down Kiristian style for that stunt. The fact that he isn't already breaks suspension of disbelief, but to have the gall to brag about this really pushes me over the edge. Kitsune fucking SUCKS, oh my GOD.
>>153386977is that snitch passed out drunk?
>>153387001Huh, now that I think about it, did Kitsune/Kiyoko ever encounter The Informant before this?
>>153386992you can tell with kitsunefags getting quieter as these threads go on that she's definitely getting harder to defend
>>153390505
>>153387553Honestly after Kitsune Usagi's friend group has nowhere to go but up
>>153387001>>153387013I'll admit, I do kinda like Kiyoko being a greedy fatass. That's like the one part about her that's sort of endearing.
>>153387625Man where god knows how many issues in but Stan can still deliver some kino moments
>>153387022Kid's a fast learner. Also here comes The Informant to fuck everything up.
>>153390602Kiyoko is a mischievous little scamp who fell in with a bad crowd.
>>153390115>Some of us have chosen to raise our own children instead of having someone else do it for us
>>153387507Another win for the Snitch.
>>153387436oh okay cool they just chew that shit off lolhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erOPkaVjTIE
>>153386992>He shouldn't trifle with usBITCH! He was the only one, THE ONLY ONE, who wouldn't have immediately sent you to the executioner.
>>153390711W-What are you gonna do with that long polearm?
>>153390932That's his problem right there. Deserved what he got I'd say.
>>153387553well at least this story had usagi pushing back on her more than usual and kitsune actually cared for kiyokostill a fucking kitsune story eugh
>>153390932I think this is why I hate her, she never changes and never faces any true consequences since hir first partner got killed while also having a completely entitled attitude.
>>153390995Reminder that Chizu, whom everybody likes far more and rightly so, is an unrepentant professional murderer who would probably have killed babes in arms if her client ordered it.
>>153388925>It almost feels out of character for him to actually act like anyone else would in this situation.I feel like Stan must've gotten enough salty letters about it that he kinda saw what he's doing.
>>153387045https://youtu.be/qxW789jHXII
>>153387053>Yukichi with Usagi's angry eyesLmao.
>>153388326Was about to say the same. I can't even remember the last time Kirsune even fought, much less with her fans.
>>153387077Usagi they're clearly handling themselves perfectly fine right now.
>>153391168>How does it feel like watching the shogunate get completely ruined before your eyes?>Feels great!
>>153387109Sadly Kiyoko only really exists to be a hostage in situations like this.
>>153387289>Greed has given him added speedAmazing, the snitch is slowly turning into a supernatural entity!(Imagine if he found out the trick to steal vitality!)
>>153387297Usagi... you can basically jump on roofs from the street, how is an (admittedly tall) wall stopping you?
>>153391079>would probably have killed babes in arms if her client ordered itNot... really? It's shown pretty clearly that her being too soft is ultimately what got her exiled, along with insisting on her brother's policy of independence from Hikiji. She doesn't even want to kill quitter ninjas, hard to believe she'd ice a baby.
>>153391079>Random whataboutismC'mon man we're not talking about Chizu here we're talking about Kitsune stay on target
>>153391158Unironically Usagi needs to tell her to fuck off when she comes running from one of her capers
>>153387352>The mountains rolled down into the town, heaven overturned and the sea rose in response. such was the strength of that vow that the all the Kami of the province came to free the girl!
>>153391209Will he put on the killer eye shadow
>>153388026Missionary, literally get Sanshobo, Ishida, and Sasuke to perform an exorcism
I think this might honestly be the most frustrating Kitsune story. And I kind of say this about the IDW run on the whole. It feels like there was going to be a lot of big changes and then there just ...wasn't
>>153387436>>153390900>These are no strings of rope! Its red licorice!
>>153388760>Austin 3:16OH, HELL YEAH!!
>>153391168>redlettermedia.pngKEK
>>153387833what does it fucking mean
>>153391168Which one is Dick the Birthday Boy?
>>153391394>Even Jei will RESPECT THE JITTE
>>153387612Anon. They're Hinin and basically fucking doomed. Kitsune. Snitch was materially involved in Mayumi's death.
>>153387612Kistune, if only to get Gen a happy ending.
>>153390995A huge problem is how predictable she is, it's boring. I knew from >>153387360 that she was going to renege because they technically didn't rescue Kiyoko.
>>153390964Lmao, saved
>>153391079Chizu’s entire plot is that she’s too soft to do anything of the sort which is why Kagemaru and Hebi have such an easy time overthrowing her, she doesn’t have what it takes to be a ninja.Also, Chizu is a foid so it’s murderess.
>>153390651The Kristians have SOME supporters. Disrespecting the emperor publically like that will not. >>153391394>missionary position. I've seen that horror hentail, where they have to gang rape the evil spirits out of the girl.
>>153391079chizu's been shown to be pretty soft hearted this is fucking nonsense what the hell
>>153391168>filenameLmao
>>153391319his jumps got nerfed some time ago
>>153387013>hey, remember the last time i tried to extort a crime boss and he was going to murder me? lets try it again!
>>153391494Bandit pig since fat boss and bearded underling are already taken
>>153391805>where they have to gang rape the evil spirits out of the girlWas it perchance written by Stephen King?
>>153391079What did you just say about my ninja waifu? You either take that back or I'm going to tell this to both her boyfriend and girlfriend!
>>153387704>There is nothing redeeming about the snitch"As a husband, he'd be a dogged breadwinner." t. Anon's Sister
>>153386992>Shitting on IshidaWhat the fuck Kitsune?
>>153387785i love this crazy girl
>>153387232>flat out telling your weapons people to their faces you don't care if they die or notThis might actually be the dumbest crime lord we've seen so far.

>>153392178Hoo boy! You storytiming it now or later?Also, completely unrelated to Usagi but Happy 40th anniversary of Chernobyl disaster, there's a frigging live stream about it, minute by minute going on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-sS4i1SXoI

>>153392345last jei and keiko
>>153392342that is some fine scanning, did you have to unbind it?
>>153392359
>>153392385It's her!!>>153392381I did, sadly.
>>153387513Hope we get to see him again, he's a cool dude.
>>153392342Oh wow, he's with Pamela Anderson and Lou Reed?Damn, that's wild!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oG6fayQBm9w
>>153392359Stan was with the furry crowds in the 80's. He has a power level, that he doesn't show, because he's sticking to specific history and genre conventions.
>>153387523I knew she had no intention of keeping her word but fucking hell, even for her that's such a flimsy excuse. If the gods themselves don't go out of their way to screw her over from here on put it's only further proof that she's a writer's pet.
>>153392415
>>153392445Oh? Lets put YOU on the spot. YOU are Lord Enmas Oni evaluator. What is the correct hell for her?

BONUS: Letters to Stan page. love that Stan is redpilled on the Australian menace
>>153392582Thanks man, that was great!
>>153392342Nice to see some Sakai cartoon animals outside of feudal japan
>>153392345>>153392361Nice. Did you commission the Jeiko piece yourself, anon?
>>153392359is that a human or a monkey? >>153392385she looks pretty cute in that dress >>153392492a loyal retainer, fallen in combat for his ungrateful master... >>153392582amazing stuff, thanks Enma! the whiplash from the art and the writing was intense.
>>153387553With friends like this, who needs enemies? Honestly one of the worst stories we've had in a good while, just miserable to read.>>153390995I think part of why Kitsune stories tend to suck is how her very existence is a middle finger to how stories in this series usually operate. Chapters tend to end on a bittersweet or tragic note; Usagi tends to walk away from something fucked up while Gen/Stary dog almost never get their bounty. Meanwhile Kitsune almost always just walks away into the sunset getting exactly what she wants, things just work out for her in a way that's just blatantly unrealistic and clashes with the tone of the book.
>>153391978Further proof as if we needed any besides Kitsune that bitches ain't shit but hoes and tricks.
>>153388045Why are the Polish like this?>>153389497I also favor the idea that the Snitch is some minor kami, birthed into existence by the sheer stupidity of the shogunate's rice-based monetary policy, the pooled embodiment of a gestalt spirit-consciousness of every accountant who ever had the misfortune of being born in Feudal Japan.>>153389263>Galahad passes through the Siege Perilous unharmed because good....is dumb.
How did Stan manage to put so much booba in this short story yet in 40 years of Usagi the booba count is in the single digits?
>>153392860I like that Terry is just a minor cameo character. But this isn't "10 Little Indians" that anon said would be in this issue. Or am I misremembering what was posted?>is that a human or a monkey? It's HIKIJI?! before he was isekai'd back to Feudal Japan
>>153391642>is how predictable she isThis. Every Kitsune story post The Three Bakas goes like this>Kitsune or Kiyoko obtain sensitive information>Usagi tells her to go to the authorities>Kitsune then proceeds to ransom the info to dangerous men>Shenanigans ensue>Usagi bails her ass out for the umpteeth time>Kitsune robs him and runs off having learned nothingReally she needs to be paired up with Gen (mostly so we can get more Gen stories). Usagi is too uptight and upright he'll hem and haw at her but he WILL save her. Gen will also save her but he has the same scumbag mentally as Kitsune and would at least let her dangle in the wind a bit before coming to her rescue
>>153392342There she is, right on the first page! NICE>>153392451>the sidekick is Hobbeskek
>>153387870And here I was expecting a twist that they were after whoever killed the people themselves.
>>153392492lmao, the highly credible telegram>>153392582Thanks for picking his up and scanning it, Enma! You know it's possible to wangle the staples back in with a bit of will and a lot of patience, right?
>>153393095Because in the 80's you had ultra christfags on the look out hammering down even the implication of booba. They did it to the Turtles.He's running a little bit with the pre internet furry crowd here and the pre digital indie comic scene, so he's got SOME serious power level, but Usagi yojimbo is designed to get past the Southern Baptist Convention who was so goddam hardcore they thought 1980's disney was too much.Also, for this period of Japan, and in quite a bit of the chambara that stan is drawing from, booba is underplayed deliberately. maybe if you've got yakuza power, like the Gambler.
>>153393112>Or am I misremembering what was posted?I think you are. 10 Little Indians was serialized (incompletely) in Rowrbrazzle which to all appearances is now, at least, a full on furry fanzine with yiffing and shit, and Anon mentioned that Terry Miyamoto also had a cameo role in this backup story.
>>153393112>Or am I misremembering what was posted?The later, 10 Little Critters was published in Rowrblazzle, UY #23 was just a cameo
>>153393227>the Southern Baptist Convention who was so goddam hardcore they thought 1980's disney was too much.I mean, that mermaid is wearing a clam splayed across her tits in a setting where clams are demonstrably sentient. You don't have to be a baptist to ask yourself questions.
>>153393239Huh, now that we've seen the whole story it's also clear that both of these are clipped from Lionheart. Have we seen anything at all of 10 Little Critters? Oh wait, yeah we have, there was a series of panels reproduced in some interview with Stan.
>>153393250Little mermaid was them pushing against the SBC, and even then they had to retreat to Lion king. Little mermaid is comingout same year as this comic for reference.
>>153393228>>153393239>>153393263Okay thanks Usagi FREAKS. So 10 Little Indians is just completely lost media, unless somebody just so happens to have that issue of Rowrbrazzle that they're willing to scan and upload, or Stan himself one days decides to upload it or reprint it in some capacity. >>153393174>You know it's possible to wangle the staples back in with a bit of will and a lot of patience, right?I do now!
>>153393362>I do now!Basically, as long as you keep the shanks of the staple at 90° to the back of it, you can typically work them back into the holes. Go page by page, and don't do the second one until you've already done and closed the first. Close it by pushing on each shank with the spine of a penknife blade or similar, first laterally and then down. Once you've done the first staple, lining up the second with the holes in the pages should be easier.

>>153392415never thought i'd see the phrase "child molester" in a sakai comic holy fuck
More Sakai-canon Lionheart!
>>153393362I don't think it's literally lost media, but yeah, it's going to be hard work locating the issues. I think Anon was able to figure out which issues they were, but given that Rowrbrazzle is some sort of foundation stone of furfaggotry and how much money furries are willing to drop on comms and shit I imagine bidding for the relevant issues might be extremely painful. Petitioning Stan would probably be both cheaper and produce better images.
>>153393362On the bright side that anon also mentioned that Lionheart hadn't been scanned before, so it may not be TLC but thats still a great contribution
>>153389263I do really think that Stan isn't quite doing that on purpose, but it is a reasonable read that mostly works, yeah.
>>153392477For committing acts of murder and theft, Kitsune shall suffer the punishment of Kokujō Jigoku. Here the oni shall knock her soul onto the hot ground and mark lines on her body with black threads. She is then made to carry heavy piles of hot iron across a tightrope suspended over a giant frying pan. When she inevitably falls, she is then boiled and hacked to pieces in the pan. Kiyoko on the other hand, will recieve mercy for being a child. She gets properly adopted by a loving family that cares for her and is able to keep up with her insatiable appetite. It's only if she decides to continue the path of the thief despite having it all, that she will also suffer Kokujō Jigoku.
>>153392359The monkey is notable enough but what's really catching me by surprise here is birds, in Usagi I don't remember birds ever being characters>>153392415>>153392385When was this story out, again? Because this seems to place it at about 1979, which is surprising me, less contemporaneous than I thought>>153392627The script also makes it clear Stan was the one inserting Terry into the story, interesting>>153393362>>153393452In the definition of lost media as "not accessible by a wide audience" I guess the story currently is lost media, yes. That said, I'm sure Stan has the original pages, or I hope he does anyway. I genuinely wonder what'd be the most feasible way to contact him and convince him to republish them. Thinking meanwhile I might just post this story on the FB Usagi fangroup, I know Stan looks there sometimes, maybe it can generate some buzz.
>>153387586>Fire festivalJa Rule stumbled onto a time machine and ended up in Feudal Japan.
>>153387604It's gonna be interesting to see Yukichi meet up with Gen and Stray Dog. I can see Gen hating this goody two shoes immediately while stray dog begrudgingly respects him for not putting up a front like he does.
>>153392342>>153392582This year we dug extra deep for all that ancient Sakai lore. Great work Enma!
now that the seething over Kitsune has calmed down, can we go back to lusting over Yukichi instead
>>153394223have we seen jei kill a woman before anyway?none i can think of
>>153387615Oh wow, it's been a ages since we've had a proper pig guy.
>>153387643Man, I miss Tomoe so much.
>>153387671RIP traveler.
>>153394251You're right, we haven't, to my memory? The closest we get is the teru-bozu story, if we assume he kills the family in the end. That said, odds are there's some random bg women he's killed before and I'm just not remembering. But it'd be interesting if that's his criteria instead
>>153394029>in Usagi I don't remember birds ever being charactersNot counting yokai there have only been three non-mammals in the whole series, apart from Hebi there was also a gator and a frog as background characters in the really early issues
>>153394358Yeah i wouldn't have thought about it had there'd been no discussion of yukichi = girl
>>153387717Oh no, this poor bastard got the worst fucking luck.
>>153394391It'd also be a weirdly contrarian take on his origin- a Jason who specifically doesn't kill females? I could see Stan doing something like that.Mind, I'm still thinking it's a coincidence, but yeah. Interesting possible reading
Welcome back to the death rattle tally! Here are the new scream found in today's storytime:>Auh!: 1See attachment for total cry so far. As always, if you have any questions about the count, feel free to ask.
>>153387770RUN MOTHERFUCKA RUN!!!!
>>153387785
>>153387794RIP Yukichi, yet another Usagi traveling companion gone too soon.
>>153387794
>>153393018You watch your mouth when you talk about my sister, chizufag; I will ruin you for marriage.
>>153392311>Hagakure
>>153394029>In the definition of lost media as "not accessible by a wide audience" I guess the story currently is lost media, yes.That's fair. I guess I'm thinking of it in terms of lost films, where it means a movie that every copy and negative of is believed to be destroyed, so that the film is legitimately lost entirely. (Sometimes reels of these do turn up in old archives and storehouses though.)
>>153394251...Inazuma?
>>153395270Yeah, it's why I defined it separately like that- I do know it's technically not really lost media since there's still copies of those issues out there, I'm sure, and probably Stan still having the og pages; but it IS so inaccessible as to basically be functionally lost media, I guess. I know kiddies tend to exaggerate this to a level of "what it's not on Netflix? Lost media", but in this case, it IS a comic where we don't even know if copies exist any more- we just assume they do since it's unlikely they're all gone.
>>153387424>muh bookThe people YEARN for Saga Vol 9
>>153387843He's got ya there, Jei.
>>153395286yeah i was thinking about that but that's a bit muddledi imagine in his mind he was doing her a great honor, though he mentions her body fighting back and all l
>>153387851Poor girl is entirely mindbroken by Jei's actions. There's nothing there but a void.
>>153387882Hily shit, this might actually be the closest they've gotten killed, right next to stumbling upon Jei.
>>153387900>Don't call us bandits!Well, if the shoe fits...

>>153387982RIP Bozo.
>>153387996>Usagi to Jeihttps://youtu.be/Cjl0p0MdvQ0?si=9vTdyMjTYEbFtOUp
>>153389661Not only was she paying them peanuts she was planning to rob their share all along.
>>153386992Cousin Oribur's existence just to do the old gags was a little frustrating for a while, but understandable to onboard the hypothetical new reader
Finally getting to read
>>153394029Making some buzz aboyt TLC and Terry on FB may be very helpful.It is possible, however, that Stan does not have the original works and/or any copies anymore. When DH was releasing TPBs, Mirage run had to be converted to b&w from scans of actual (colorized) issues, because the original b&w inked pages were lost.
>>153393833Reasonable choice, but I think you're way too easy on her. She should be forced to hunt Gen and Kyoko to eat them because of her impossible to satisfy greed and willingness to hurt her friends.
Stab Kitsune with a tanto. Crush Kitsune with iron-shod geta. Drown Kitsune in a rice paddy. Hang Kitsune's lifeless body from a torii. Question Kitsune's taste in kimonos. Immolate Kitsune in a sacred flame.
>>153387778This appears to be Sakai realizing he went too far with Kitsune's bullshit in that story and fumbling for an excuse.
>>153387778>Either she's an extreme narcissist or a genuine sociopath at this point.She's very clearly both.
>>153391168Freddie had a cover yesterday too.
>>153398691Kek!
>>153388027I love these cover pages.
>>153396121And they're the bad guys for not letting the author's pet fuck them over
>>153394029>When was this story out, again? Because this seems to place it at about 1979, which is surprising me, less contemporaneous than I thoughtThe issue of UY was published in 1990, and I think its meant to take place around the mid to late 80s. Lionheart is narrating an extended flashback and he relates that Joey *began* to get political aspirations around the late 70s, and he kept trying throughout the years even though he never won elected office. The big shoulder pads on the business suits the men are wearing and the windbreaker on Lionheart on the final page reads Peak 80s to me.Also, did you ronin notice the pattern on Terry's jacket? It's tiny Mifune mons!
>>153388067Thanks OP. I kinda like Yukichi, Usagi's been sorely needing a traveling partner and he fills that void well.
>>153387207This is the closest she got to correction
>>153398691Hehehe
