Story and art by Stan Sakai.
It takes more than a pair of swords to be a samurai, and this is something Usagi knows well. Our furry friend and his comrade, Gen, have wandered into a town dominated by two rival gangs, and in a scheme to break the gangs' power, they each join a rival faction. When up against a formidable enemy, it can sometimes be wise to infiltrate your foe and learn of his intentions, but Usagi's plans go astray, and it's trouble for our fuzzy samurai friends. Usagi Yojimbo #46 is the first of a two-part story featuring connecting, wraparound covers that combine to form one large poster-size image!
