Usagi Yojimbo #25

In "Kitsune Gari," Usagi and Gen journey through a remote wilderness known as the domain of a trickster fox, where old legends whisper of unseen dangers. When they’re briefly separated and reunite, Gen grows uneasy—something about Usagi’s behavior feels off, and the line between friend and imposter begins to blur. As strange events unfold, Gen must confront the unsettling truth: not everything that walks like Usagi is truly him.

In "Sakura Teil 1," Usagi and Gen encounter a mysterious wanderer known as "The Whip" during their journey through the land. When The Whip intervenes to free a young girl sold into slavery by her desperate father, her act of defiance sets off a chain of events that leaves the girl in Usagi and Gen’s care—only to find themselves surrounded by furious gamblers hungry for revenge.

In "Sakura Teil 2," Usagi and Gen are trapped in a roadside inn, holding a child taken by the notorious bandit known as the Peitsche. With the gang closing in, they must devise a distraction to help the girl escape—but their focus isn’t on flight, it’s on what comes next.

In "Der Bettler," Usagi Yojimbo notices a wandering beggar whose path keeps crossing his own, sparking suspicion that there's more to the man than meets the eye. When the beggar is suddenly attacked by a group of Neko-Ninja, Usagi's doubts are confirmed—this is no ordinary traveler.

In "Die Festung," Usagi Yojimbo takes up the cause of a beleaguered lord defending his ancestral fortress, the Red Cloud, from a relentless squad of Neko-Ninja sent to seize it. With honor on the line and a rival lord waiting in the wings, Usagi must navigate treachery and stealth in a battle where every shadow could hide an enemy.
