This might be my favorite page in the series, something about how the assassin can be so fast and skilled, but beaten so fast just because he didn’t think to go for the wakazashi first. Their skills are so close yet he is still leagues below Usagi

confirmed count is up to 3.
What is the ultimate plan for that, though? Where does it go from here? Perhaps it's wrapped up until a meeting is called and it adorns their space.

When's Usagi set? Because depending on when it is we might be seeing some Shimabara and Amakusa Shiro action.

Tokogawa took power in 1603. He's been ruling for a few years, but not too long

And he abdicated in 1605, which was part of a story. So we're somewhere around that year.

Really, a lot of Jotaro's predicaments could have been over easily if he could run faster.

Thanks Dharma!

ISHIDA IS THE LAW

Will they ever just tell each other?

That would seem like a good final issue.

In sensho. Just as he dies.

Good, the power of salvation and god will save them all, but seriously considering all the Japanese mythology exists in Usagi it’s not crazy to say the biblical Judeo-Christian god is real here, be cool if we get the power of Christ vs Jei or some cool confirmation of biblically accurate angels showing up

I'm having trouble trying to figure out if this motherfucker is Batman or Robin Hood.
I mean, he steals from the rich and gives to the poor, but he very clearly has a no-kill rule, dresses in all-black, and disappears whenever someone's back is turned.

Goemon Ishikawa. Dumbass.

Dog I don't know shit about Japanese folklore/history. Interesting dude from what I just found out about him though.

He is Nii-san probably

>The best place for sushi in that town is the where the kirishitans meet

Fuck you Mariko.

It's a specific personality trait people can have where they will intentionally manipulate other people into dramatic confrontations while also pretending to be the victim. It gives them a sense of power and moral righteousness.

I'm actually starting to doubt that. Take a look at the respective heights. I don't have any better suspicions though.

Ho shit, that is really cool though. Did you draw that?

Yeah, I have no real evidence either aside from Nii mentioning he is from an impoverished family.

>his hopes and dreams ruined in the next 10+ Ishida adventures

For once, he tries not to meddle, and look where it gets him.

The original was much better – and by the way, it was posted like a week ago. We all saw it.

>Turns out the gods jei is following is actually the christian god and saints
>The evil that jei sniffs is not random like it seems, but they're all heathens and infidels and jei only spares the kirishtani.
what a tweest, worthy of a jrpg.

I'm not sure if Sanshobo and Sasuké would be grateful for the help or pissed off because Yahweh is stepping on their turf.

Right in the feels.

>HUUUUUUR DUUUUUUUUUUR CUUUUUUUUCK
Go fuck off you retard

>his jutte handle on the cross

I like how Nii is an ass to lower class but as nezumi he is robin hood.

>What is the ultimate plan for that, though? Where does it go from here? Perhaps it's wrapped up until a meeting is called and it adorns their space.
It's probably hollow and full of tuberculosis-tainted opium.

I think its a karma with that guy. He's been a jerk all his life and that bad karma accrued.

Fuck off yourself, he is using the word cuckold in its proper place.

>this jitte- I mean Cross, gives me the authority of Our Lord shog- Jesus Christ

Right? It would be pure pottery.

The respitory virus gives it extra flavor!

Really though, kristain is all about equality, generosity, and love. So you can imagine how that goes over in a civilization under military rule with a class structure so unfair that they can get away with literal murder.

But what about Honour? Pretty shitty religion that doesn't encourage you to die for honour.

Come to think if it, Islam would have probably spread like wildfire there.

Probably pissed, there gods right? The pantheons rarely get along anyways and many of them barely tolerate each other

Sasukue regularly deals with the supernatural and mystic, he'd probably see any other mythology stepping in as just another wandering spirit and act accordingly.

the poor peasants don't care much about honor. The romans were all about martial honor and such, but Christianity spread like fire there, especially among the lower classes

and if you think about it, between helping out the poor and samurai honor, usagi would chose to help out

Attached: bfsbbsd.jpg (1320x649, 201K)

Well that depends on how power levels are portrayed it seems like the kami and Japanese gods are about as powerful as the myths say but considering how op the Christian figures aren’t be interesting to see how there portrayed, but I just want Jei getting dragged to hell by the power of Christ

Mariko a bitch, A BITCH!
