The artwork is beautiful, the story epic, and it’s just fascinating to see where the characters will be in twenty years. He appeared as one of the main antagonists of the fifth and final season of the 2012 Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series, serving as the main antagonist of the Usagi Yojimbo arc. I don’t want to give too much away, because Senso has some really shocking and heartrending moment better experienced for yourself, but I highly recommend it to both new and old readers.

In the twenty years between this series and the main, a lot has obviously happened. Stan Sakai is the master of the action sequence and mixing loud battle scenes with quiet character moments. Each issue is action packed and chaotic, with fantastic artwork. From then on, it’s war: samurai versus aliens and it is glorious. They’re waging the deciding battle in the war against Lord Hikiji when a giant, mysterious object falls from the sky. The main character, Usagi, the bounty hunter Gennosuke, and Usagi’s son, Jotaro, have become high ranking members of the Geishu clan. That’s literally all you need to know going in. It’s a fantastic six issue series set twenty years in the future of Usagi Yojimbo, a comic about a samurai rabbit who wanders the Japanese countryside. “CMON is honored to bring Stan Sakai’s iconic Usagi Yojimbo into the world of Arcadia Quest in our first-ever licensed character pack for the game,” says CMON’s Geoff Skinner, VP of Licensing.It’s war of the worlds with samurai.
