Written and illustrated by series creator Stan Sakai, the volume follows Miyamoto Usagi as he confronts a supernatural threat involving the legendary tengu, blending samurai action with Japanese folklore. The arc continues Usagi's adventures in feudal Japan, featuring Sakai's signature detailed artwork and character-driven storytelling.
In "Sojobo," Usagi Yojimbo faces a surprising twist when he discovers he and Yukichi are cousins, deepening the bond between them. With a bounty on those loyal to Lord Mifune, the vengeful students of the Paikonyaki School take up arms, challenging Usagi in combat—only for Yukichi to make a shocking choice that alters their path. Written and illustrated by Stan Sakai, with cover art by Sakai, this 2022 issue from IDW explores loyalty, legacy, and the unexpected turns of fate in a world where honor is both a burden and a compass.
In "Tengu War! Part One," Sojobo recounts the rising conflict between the Guhin Tengu and his own kind, a rift that threatens to tear their world apart. With the stakes high and the lines drawn, Usagi steps forward to aid Sojobo in facing the Guhin Tengu, setting the stage for a clash of honor, tradition, and ancient power.
In "The Master of Hebishima," Usagi Yojimbo takes on a quiet journey to deliver a basket of tokage to a reclusive hermit on a remote island, only to find the man he once fought is now a solitary figure living in silence. The encounter stirs long-buried memories and hints at a past that may not be as settled as Usagi believed.
In "Yukichi Part One," Usagi Yojimbo crosses paths with Yukichi Yamamoto, a man burdened by past regret after once dismissing Usagi’s earnest attempt to meet his late master, Itsuki. As Usagi joins Yukichi on a journey to settle his master’s affairs, they’re drawn into a tense rivalry that tests their resolve and forces them to confront old wounds—both personal and martial.
In "Yukichi Part Two," Usagi discovers a surprising family tie when he learns he and Yukichi are cousins. With Takao dead and the Paikonyaki School’s remaining students driven by greed and vengeance, Yukichi—now free from his master’s shadow—chooses to join Usagi on his journey, eager to understand the world beyond the dojo.
