Dark Horse Extra #20

In "Usagi Yojimbo: Tsuru, Part One," a weary Miyamoto Usagi stops for a meal at a quiet restaurant, where he encounters a mysterious man who folds paper cranes with quiet devotion. The man speaks of them as remembrances—of lives taken, of debts unpaid—and reveals he knows Usagi’s name, offering the crane as a strange, unsettling gift. Moments later, the man challenges him to a duel, and Usagi must draw his sword to survive, leaving behind only a fallen killer and a single crane in the dust.
