The first kiss is always so special.
And confusing. Kissing was a foreign custom at the time, Usagi probably has no idea what just happened.

I am curious how many people have died in this series?
I mean there must be a way to count how many people died, and calculate how big of an impact that amount would be to Japan's population.

Did we skip a page?

I checked earlier, estimates for Japan's population at the time was anywhere from 11-22 million people. Even at a conservative estimate, he's a long way off from making a notable dent.

Usagi loses a lot of hats through the series.

HA

There's an old Dark Horse body count chart, Usagi was second only to Conan

Good morning, new thread!

Oh, you're off to bed. Freakin' time zones, man.

I’m kinda annoyed how we’ll lose these sweet sweet sagas for a bunch of unnecessary colored releases

Holy fuck, the inking here is fantastic

Dude that drew these last year, if you're in these threads say something!

Mirage issues were originally colorised and there are some short Usagi stories in color, so it's not like this happens for the first time.

Someone should really tell stan that a fan poll for who was the best girl was neck and neck for, what, like three months straight?

Yeah. But that would involve alerting Stan to the fact that Yea Forums is a thing and that can never happen.

The man is so innocent, he posts pictures of the muffins he and his wife baked on him facebook.

This is the draw user. Still lurking about here

Any chance of another pic this year?

I had hoped that getting TMNY heroclix might have meant Usagi clix.

Once the cartoon comes out

>Usagi Yojimbo OVA series never ever

Forget OVA, I want a video game.

Sure! Any suggestions?

This years poll looks like its going to be down to Tomoe and Chizu again. Could you do anything for the result?

Aside from lewd onsen catfights, it would be great to Usagi in a Meddleman superhero outfit.

We were apparently close to getting one back in the 90's. But then Bucky O'Hare was a massive flop and it made licencors decide rabbits were a bad idea

Stan mentions it in the introduction to the Legends Saga collection

I never thought I would hate Bucky O' Hare for anything.

Thread can't take another issue. Don't have time to make a new thread worth it right now. Have a good night people. Thank you for reading!

As always, if Usagi was more proactive, he'd be getting laid almost daily.

Thanks, see you next time!

ALERT
Missing pages 232-240!

As far as we now he's only slept with the girl from his home village and possibly Tomoe

Kitsune is into Gen, Chizu has her ninja stuff, and Tomoe is probably gonna be given away in an arranged marriage for her clan. Usagi a ronin in life and love

This arc gets so instense.

She gets along with Gen because they are both crooked a bit, but that are kind of repulsed by eachother because they are both crooked. I think Kistune has said that she thinks Usagi is prettier.

>meddles freely, no fucks given

This. Lewds are nice, but let's get settled variety.

I want to see a kind of futuristic Usagi, not so much like Space Usagi but more like Furi or Hyperlight Drifter.

Yes, dripping with hot magenta and purple!

>Jei killed all those people to harvest their souls in order to evolve into a skyscraper sized cosmic horror
This....makes too much sense

Oh yes. I want Vidya Kino Usagi.

>The Usagi Yojimbo video game is like Furi but every boss fight is the Edge
I would play it.

Knowing Jei, the fall killed him but he came back anyway.

I was going to make a joke about the song, but apparently it's based on an absolutely ancient fable.

Hell of a take on the Seven Samurai set up.

The safe word is "mendicant."

>Jei's peaceful sleepy face

He is cute when he's not snarling with demon eyes.

One of the few times Usagi is REALLY pissed.

Several people in the comic have commented that Usagi is quite handsome. I'm not a rabbit-fancier, so I can't tell, but I guess it's canon.

Oooh shots fired.

He's had how many women into him? I think it's close to the teens now.

MISSING PAGESOof! Sorry

Oh definitely, counting some 'oh that handsome samurai' by NPCs too.

Maybe next year we'll have a "thirsty maidens" counter

I kinda like how you can tell what will be comedic and what will be serious at a glance of the design.

I forget if she ever shows up again.

OHSHIT

So how long has it been now since we saw Gen, Tomoe or Noriyuki in the comic? It must be like ten years at this point. Has he completely abandoned them? Did he get tired of his old characters?

Counting by TPBs, Jotaro has been seen for the last time 15 years ago, Tomoe and Noriyuki 12 years ago and Gen about 8 years ago. Add a year or twoto account for the actual issues. However, Gen is supposed to come back soon. As for the rest, I hope that the IDW run will swiftly reintroduce them to new readers.

Don't forget the publishing tempo of UY isn't as crazy as some cape comics. If you have a few stories in a row that don't feature some characters, it quickly amounts to a few years in real time while in story time not that much time has passed. I don't think Stan is sick of those characters at all.

ALSO Stan's fb says that pre-orders for IDW Usagy #1 are now open. Damn, I wish I were a Murrican, I'd get all the different covers ;_;

And has Sakai ever said why? I honestly don't like Inspector Ishida and the Eternal Foxjew nearly as much as Gen and Tomoe.

>miss-spell Usagi

haha I should commit honorable suicide

How come Usagi moved from Dark Horse to IDW? Does this mean another annoying split in the collections like the Fanta/DH one?

Money. Dark Horse is a dying company.

Dark Horse has the rights for black and white stories (one more TPB and Saga will be published till July, then they are out of material), IDW will publish colorisations of DH content and new issues will be in color as well.

>publish Hellboy
>lose money
Pretty sensational trick if you ask me. Oh well. They're not the first comics publisher to be bad at economics, I guess.

They lost everything pretty much everything but HB. HB alone isn't popular enough to keep an entire company afloat, and also, that series is ending forever next month.

Huh! I guess I don't keep up.

t. stopped reading Hellboy when Mignola stopped drawing it

Then don't read the finale, Mignola isn't drawing that either. You might like Hellboy in Hell though.

Live.

Living like a person who fell off a cliff.

His TMNT 2012 version was awesome. The design and the voice were literally perfect.

I didn't like the voice, desu. I expected something more unique I guess. More growly and inhuman maybe.

And I didn't like Usagi's voice. He sounded too old and jaded, with none of his regular kindness present. TMNT 2003 did a much better job with him.
