Usagi Yojimbo #17

In "Blutfehde," Usagi Yojimbo faces a personal reckoning when he crosses paths with Koyama Matabei, a young man seeking vengeance for his father’s murder at the hands of four ronin. Now hunted by a ruthless gang that includes three of those killers, Usagi must decide whether to aid the grieving son—or let the past remain buried.

In "Die Rückkehr des Einsamen Bocks mit seinem Jungen," a young Gorogoro must reunite with his legendary but reclusive father, the Lone Goat, while a cunning samurai gang circles ever closer—threatening to disrupt the bond before it can be mended. Usagi Yojimbo steps in to guide the journey, balancing quiet resolve with the kind of martial grace that only he can deliver.

In the quiet hush of winter, a dying lord’s final wish sets a desperate race against time: to reunite with his exiled son, Rokuo, a young samurai in hiding after a fatal duel. With Hojo’s vengeful retainers closing in, Usagi must guide Rokuo through a storm-laden path of blades and shadow—where every step could be his last.

In "Koji," Usagi Yojimbo finds himself caught between duty and conscience as he witnesses a tense duel between his former teacher, Katsuichi, and his former rival, Nakamura Koji. When a local fencing school challenges Koji to a match, Usagi is drawn into the conflict—and uncovers a hidden flaw in Koji’s martial arts style. The discovery could save a life, but at a price that threatens his own honor.

In "Krähen, Teil 1," Shunji finds himself drawn into a tense journey alongside Usagi’s former sensei, Katsuichi, as they head to the Kitanoji Temple for a fateful duel. When their path crosses a small village plagued by a ruthless gang of renegade ronin, the quiet pilgrimage takes a sudden, dangerous turn.

In "Krähen, Teil 2," Usagi and Koji are en route to a fateful duel when they stumble upon a village under siege by relentless bandits. With the arrival of Katsuichi Sensei already locked in battle against the ronin, the three swordsmen must unite to defend the helpless farmers—though the tide of attackers seems to grow with every passing moment.

In "Krähen, Teil 3," Koji finds himself forced into an uneasy alliance with his former sensei Katsuichi as a band of ruthless brigands threaten to destroy a peaceful farming village. With dawn approaching and the raid imminent, Usagi and young Jotaro race to uncover the full scope of the attackers' plans—before it's too late.

In the quiet shadow of the Kitanoji Temple, the duel between Katsuichi and Nakamura Koji unfolds—a test of skill, honor, and the weight of bushido. Two samurai, bound by duty and respect, face each other beneath the cherry blossoms, where only one will leave standing.
