Story Synopsis

Young Usagi Yojimbo is keen to learn the way of bushido, and he would be more enthusiastic of only Katsuichi sensei didn't prattle on all the time about the warrior codes and honour. Besides, Katsuichi sensei's method of teaching isn't quite what he expected at all, the lump on his head proves it.

Returning from gathering wood one day, Usagi sees an opportunity to match his sensei lump for lump and hits the sleeping form of Katsuichi sensei. The boy is horrified however, when he sees his master's brain begin to ooze from beneath his hat and he faints. Upon awakening, he finds that his master has turned into a vengeful gaki who pursues him to the edge of a cliff with the express purpose of making a meal of the boy. Terrified, Usagi falls from the clif and keeps falling...

Katsuichi, returning from bathing in the stream, rouses the unconscious boy, who faints again upon spying his sensei. Baffled by the boy's behaviour, he is just as baffled as to why the pumpkin he left under his hat is ruined.
