☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume continues the adventures of Yaiba, a young samurai navigating a world of martial arts and supernatural challenges. Collecting issues from the ongoing series, it delves deeper into Yaiba's quest and the conflicts with his rivals. The story blends action and folklore in classic manga fashion, as published by Viz Media.
In "The Golden Transformation Orb," Musashi stumbles upon a mysterious artifact in a curious shop—its power undeniable, but its price far beyond his means. Meanwhile, Geroda and Mr. Sea Cucumber celebrate a surprising windfall from the racetrack, while Mr. Spider uncovers unsettling truths about Yagyu’s failed resurrection, leaving the former warrior lost in confusion. Written by Gosho Aoyama and Andria McKnight, with art and inks by Gosho Aoyama, and lettering by John Hunt, this issue features a cover by Gosho Aoyama, blending intrigue and tension in a 2026 release that’s as rich in character moments as it is in mystery.
In "On to Kyushu!", Yaiba Kurogane and his unlikely crew pause at a secluded hot spring, where the boys’ antics take a mischievous turn—Musashi and Kojiro’s pranks are met with Sayaka Mine’s sharp wit, while Shonosuke tries (and fails) to stay out of trouble. Meanwhile, Takeshi Onimaru works his dark magic, summoning another legendary warrior to claim the next orb, setting the stage for a clash of history and destiny.
Yaiba Kurogane and his allies—Sayaka Mine, Musashi Miyamoto, Kojiro Sasaki, Kagetora, Shonosuke, and even the ever-unpredictable Mr. Starfish—push deep into a dormant volcano, drawn by the promise of the Red Dragon's Orb. But as they navigate crumbling tunnels and ancient traps, they’re met with a chilling surprise: Shiro Amakusa and the forces of Takeshi Onimaru are already waiting, their presence stirring long-buried secrets beneath the mountain’s heart.
In a volcanic arena where lava pulses like a living thing, Yaiba Kurogane faces off against the shapeshifting Shiro Amakusa as Mr. Starfish makes a desperate grab for the ancient orb resting on a stone at the center. With allies and enemies alike watching, the fate of the artifact hangs in the balance—only one thing is certain: the clash of swords and sorcery is far from over.
When Goemon and Mr. Spider seize Sayaka, Yaiba must break tradition to save her—defying a local priest and tearing the sacred orb from the forehead of a colossal Buddha. The moment the orb is removed, the giant statue stirs to life, unleashing a power neither Yaiba nor his allies could have foreseen.
In "A Giant Battle, Part 1," Yaiba Kurogane and his allies—Sayaka Mine, Shonosuke, and Goemon Ishikawa—watch in stunned silence as Mr. Spider transforms the mobile fortress into a towering robot to face the approaching giant Buddha. With the town caught in the crossfire, the clash of colossal machines erupts in the heart of a quiet street, setting the stage for an epic showdown.
When Takeshi Onimaru strengthens his control with brutal checkpoints across the land, Yaiba Kurogane uses the Transformation Orb to slip through undetected—posing as the tyrant himself. But his disguise is tested when the crew encounters a mysterious samurai wielding a sword style eerily familiar to Sayaka Mine and Musashi Miyamoto. With Kagetora watching from the shadows and Jubei Yagyu’s legacy looming, the truth behind the sword may be the real threat.
In "Let's Go to the Orb Shop!", Yaiba Kurogane and his friends stumble upon a mysterious shop selling legendary orbs, where Musashi Miyamoto faces a tempting price he can’t afford. Meanwhile, Gerozaemon Garoda and Mr. Sea Cucumber celebrate a surprising windfall from the race track, while Mr. Spider uncovers a troubling truth—Jubei Yagyu, resurrected but lost in memory, no longer remembers his mission to destroy Yaiba.
In "Jubei Awakens," Yaiba Kurogane and his unlikely crew are thrown into chaos when they learn Goemon Ishikawa has already stolen the Legendary Orb. That night, Jubei Yagyu’s drunken revelry takes a terrifying turn as he transforms into a werewolf, unleashing a storm of primal fury that threatens to tear their fragile alliance apart.
Yaiba Kurogane and Jubei Yagyu must breach a towering, ferocious kappa guarding the last portal out of the orb—so Yaiba hatches a desperate plan involving a drunken transformation. With Sayaka Mine and Musashi Miyamoto watching, the fate of the group rests on whether a werewolf Yagyu can take down a giant kappa, even as Kappasuke and the oddball Mr. Sea Cucumber and Mr. Spider add chaos to the mix.
