Usagi Yojimbo DojoBoard

Thanks to Usagi I've discerned that there are many different kinds of suicide. Each with its own social requirements.

Seppuku is used when honour must be maintained.

There is no dishonour is being married. It may suck. But it's not dishonourable.

If she killed herself it may be considered "shinju" or lovers' suicide. And she would probably hang herself

And I don't believe Tomoe would kill herself. She is a samurai and would obey her lord if he said she was to marry.

And it wouldn't be that horrible. Think of her children, how blessed they would be to have such a mother as her.

The story possibilities are wide open.

Generally I do not "want" or wish for stories or characters to go one way or another, for that would only be speculation and wishful thinking on my part, and if my expectations are not met, that might result in me being disappointed. Since only Sensei Sakai knows the true outcome of everyone's lives in the Usagiverse, I will patiently wait for him to tell and show us what happens for each character, even if that means some stories are to remain untold. It's not to say I wouldn't like to see certain things happen, or new story lines developed, but I respect Stan's story telling, no matter where it leads, and I eagerly await whatever surprises may lie ahead.

I think Stan should do an anthology title. Separate from the core book.

A space where other characters can shine, like Gen, Chizu and even past characters like Inazuma.

Maybe open it up for other creators.

^ Fantastic!
