Story and art by Stan Sakai.
Usagi? Dead? Oh, no! This can't be. But there he is, lying on the ground in a pool of his own blood, dead at the hands of Yakuza thugs. This may be the darkest hour yet. And it's all because of that foolish Kitsune, the thief/street entertainer, who crossed the wrong people. Usagi was only recently coming to terms with his rash decision-making problem. Now it seems like he's only got a "ghost" of a chance to achieve that greater depth of patience. Join us for the most shocking issue of Usagi Yojimbo yet.
