Usagi Yojimbo #15

In "Prolog," the legendary sword Grasscutter finds itself in the hands of Lord Yamato Takeru, who must set aside his wedding preparations to confront a serpent demon terrorizing nearby villages. With Miyazu at his side, Yamato Takeru faces a threat that tests both his skill and his resolve, as the weight of duty calls him from the promise of peace.

In "Kapitel 1: Schwingengeflüster," the journey to deliver the legendary Grasscutter to the Atsuta Shrine takes a dangerous turn as the ninja clans of the Neko and Komori scheme to seize the blade. Takao, Kagemaru, Chizu, and Kintanamono find themselves caught in a web of stealth and rivalry, where every shadow holds a threat and every step could tip the balance of power.

In "Kapitel 2: Es riecht nach Kiefern," Usagi Yojimbo and his companions Kimi, Chizu, and Ikeda find themselves ambushed on the road—only to discover that the Neko Ninja aren't the only ones with designs on their mission. As tension builds in the forest, old rivalries and hidden threats begin to surface, turning a simple journey into something far more complicated.

In "Kapitel 3: Der Geschmack des Todes," Chizu and Ikeda find themselves drawn into a deadly pursuit after a Komori ninja steals Grasscutter, forcing them to track the thief across treacherous terrain. With tension rising and loyalty tested, the line between hunter and hunted blurs in a story of stealth, honor, and the cost of vengeance.

In "Kapitel 5: Das Salz spüren," Usagi and his companions track Chizu and Saru to a rugged cliffside overlooking the sea, where the tension mounts as the fate of the Grasscutter is decided in a fierce clash with the Komori ninja. With the wind and salt in the air, loyalties are tested and swords are drawn in a battle that will shape what comes next.
