Usagi Yojimbo by Stan Sakai. Opening tonight is the second issue in the Those Who Tread on the Scorpions Tail arc. In which Usagi spends a nice night with a friend of his master, and thinks a kidnapping is just some drunk students helping a friend home.
That wraps it up for volume 7 of the saga editions. Volume 8 hasn't been published yet, so I'm switching source to individual issues. After that, one last saga "Legends" which isn't the normal type of stories.
I had a hard time thinking up a second rhyme for Hokkaido.

I didn't say it was bad

In our impromptu act as a bard There's cues you place like a card you may disagree but maybe you'll see anything is filthy when thought on long and hard
Counting the newest TMNT crossover, there's material worth almost two and a half Saga books left. Accounting for the fact that the Fantagraphics books collected 7 regular tomes, we're over 80% done with the storytime.
Im gonna put this down in the "something nice" short list.
Parker Allen
Sneky Snek.
Only now I noticed the guy, who was at the Geishu's castle and met Usagi while checking out Tomoe, standing in one of those panels. Anyway, this one scene gives us hope that the arranged wedding may be cancelled without blemishes on anyone's honor.

>Say that >Keep reading story time to see a bunch of okay people die over an ice cube. Man I should really read the whole story time before commentating. Goddamn other shoe.
Asher Russell
>Sword through a woman's face JESUS CHRIST! Not saying she didn't deserve but holy hell.
Grayson Ross
Masa is suppossd to be Stan, isn't he?
Nicholas Flores
The 1st place guy made a joke. The 2nd place guy went full fanboy mode.
Are we counting this as a poem for Tomoe? Her surname does transliterate into "Rain"
Austin Evans
A haiku, *ahem* Cartoon Rabbit book Came for funny adventures Now I weep sadly

>Wait, I forgot to name the Innkeeper >Fuck it, I got shit to letter.
Nathaniel Flores
>Hebi doesn't want to admit it but the reason for his frequent lateness to meetings is because it takes him several minutes to open and close a door. >Onetime he had a meeting with Chizu and it tokk him hours, he had made a wrong turn.
Joseph Sanchez
>everyone else can hear him just smashing into it trying to stifle their giggles.
Nathaniel Lewis
Did he really need ro explain why he was drowning?
Kevin Green
Kind of, yeah. Not all liquids have the same buoyancy and I sure as don't know fuck about Onions sauce to guess why he couldn't swim out.
Mason Baker
Yup, and the sculptures are the issues of Usagi. However, he forgot to mention his two dozens of Space Jizu statues in the back.
If so, then the phrase "lovers death" reveals a lot about their relationship after their last meeting.
Thanks, now I'm giggling thinking about it.
Levi Sanchez
>He just completely slams through the paper wall one time, looks at everyone who are staring at him stone cold, and just slides back out and opens the door normally like nothing happened.
Wyatt Price
>Sometimes they surreptitiously open a door >Or remove a wall after that one time
Angel Thompson
>tfw it took you literal years to work out that this was a Stan self-portrait and the plot is a reworking of one of the very first Usagi stories on purpose, he didn't just forget he did this one already
Torture was a cornerstone of the Chinese legal system (which IIRC Japan still uses, more or less, but minus that part), because it forbids convicting anyone without a confession. So if you know a guy did it, you have all the proof, but he refuses to confess, what do you do? Their answer was torture him until he confessed.
Elijah Cruz
Question for storyfriends: does the Usagi/Turtles crossover book contain any new stories not collected in the ongoing book series? I have every numbered book but didn't pick that one up because I assumed it was just a themed reprint of the stories that were in the ongoing already.
Sudoku my honor I will leave all my regrets the taste of orange
Levi Reed
You mean that book with all crosovvers? Because it has ONE very short story, that is not common to see legally due to legal reason.
Other than that, there is this one new color crossover with IDW turtles which is available both in the collection book and separately.
Logan Brooks
>I am called God. I am a paper dealer. So, what? You are belevolent as a god or you are as scary and temperamental as one?
Asher Cook
He most likely writes it with a different kanji. You have to remember that they all have to share about four morphemes, every "word" from a romaji perspective has about four hundred different meanings.
Liam Wright
Benki is a honorabu samurai i see.
Angel Brooks
Are there differences in how you say the word or do they have to guess one of 20 possible meanings each time they hear it?
Carter Ward

Easton James
And people say feudal Japan sucks. Nothing says party like possibly insulting a lord with a greeting mad lib.
Kayden Green
Or just imagine the arrays of insults you could lob at someone using seemingly benign words.
I can't help but wonder how anatomy works in this series. We have characters who are basically human save for being talking animals, but how does what's beneath the clothes work? Are we looking at multiple nipples for certain species, or just the chest area like a human?
Ryder Ramirez
you fools
Eli Nguyen
The furriness is mostly superficial. So probably not.
Lucas Ortiz
I think Stan admitted once he is not 100% sure about his characters' detailed anatomy since this was never crucial for the plot. What he can confirm is animal heads on human-like bodies, with lots of fur but no tails.
>Are there differences in how you say the word No, it's just contextual. It's not exactly as random as a guess, but you can't go by sound, no.
Christian Martin
No, curse the memers. They choose a useful, common word to ruin. Unlike roody-poos, candy-asses, and THE PEOPLE'S CHAMPIONS, it's incredibly possible that you mean the completely normal food thing rather than "le ebin trole le btfo un-ledditpilled video reviewers milLOLnials ecks dee!" Mods filtering things for shits and giggles is over a decade old. Making it impossible to discuss shoyu outside of /ck/ (filter disabled there for obvious reasons) is a fault of the ones who set the trigger, not the ones who tripped over it.
Joshua Rodriguez
>is a fault of the ones who set the trigger, not the ones who tripped over it. So again, the mods. Your post was ebin and shoyu-pilled.
Cooper Walker
>it's wholly contextual Holy fuck. There must have been shitloads of mistakes made in the past and probably they are still being made. I bet quite a few people died because of them.
Latin alphabet is a godsend.
Matthew Reyes
All things aside, are you really defending Yea Forums? Really?
Juan Mitchell
He's one of the culprits.
Noah Murphy
It's crazy to think that Samurai could have legally chopped off some poor farmer's head just for practice in this time.
Possible Christian? Do we have an accepted "cross" pattern for determining this kind of thing?
Zachary Murphy
In case you ever wondered why Japanese seems to have so much wordplay and puns compared to English, this is why.
Jace Gray
No, the mods are to blame. The filter doesn't stop anybody who wants to from talking about shoyu boius, as you can see.
Brody Reyes
Rather than filtering that we really need someone to put an instant ban on sneed. It's not even a fucking joke!
Samuel Perry
Aww yeah
Grayson Kelly
Dharma seems to only count vertical lines. If he did count that pattern the number would skyrocket, it's pretty common
Robert Smith
Will we get 27th thread?
Eli Anderson
Nah, I think that sneedless.
Henry Mitchell

Later tonight

I like how the bodyguard is impressed and respects his crazy deathstare.

He just choke slammed a man to death.

I made a fanfic about this chapter, in my version the merchant gives it to the poet as a gift. But he warned "if the gift is corrupted in the travel, I'm clean of guilty but I don't want it back and I won't help you to improve it if that's the case cause my conscience wouldn't let me do that. Information and the original uncorrupted version is what is the only thing I can give you. To be honest it was the only logical way to write it"
Thomas Cooper
I prefer my version of the dialogue.
Blake White
Hehehe... thugs.
Elijah Wilson
Interesting

>Let me show you my shoyu.
John Gomez
That second place guy looks like he's barely older than 10. I feel like we should cut him some slack.
