Forgive me if I'm behind the times, but I just finished reading issue 60 and it was fantastic! The suspense was amazing and wow, just wow. I am really looking forward to Usagi's travels with Jotaro--will he tell him or won't he?

It would be quite a burden for the small boy to know; I don't know about the Japanese rules but in Europe, bastards were usually outcast from their families and I can't believe that Usagi would want that.

From what I've read in books from various periods and settings, the children themselves weren't too harshly treated if the true father publicly acknowledged them. They could be made heirs and so forth. The harsher treatment would probably fall upon the mother, and as someone Usagi loves very much, he would probably not want her to be treated poorly, so that may be another reson for him to keep his own counsel. We'll have to wait and see.
