Usagi Yojimbo DojoBoard

Who would win.I think the Katsuichi would since he was Usagi's Sensei. But I wouldn't like Usagi to die since it would mean the end to the series .If the series ends then I have nothing to live for which means I'll throw myself off a Tower.

Katsuichi by a mile. Katsuichi defeated Nakamura Koji and Koji defeated Usagi in combat. Something not too often done in one on one combat in the comic.

I mean come on. His name literally means one who wins.

As the old adage goes, "I taught him everything he knows. But I didn't teach him everything I know."

Why they would have to fight, I cannot imagine. Still, Usagi would prevail. If nothing else, the old man would realize his teachings would survive longer in a younger man than in himself and be content in that fact.

I like to think Katsuichi is far more skilled but that if they actually fought, Usagi would be able to discover some edge to eek out a victory.

I don't think skill would be the definitive factor here. The willingness to kill would really be what makes the difference. I couldn't imagine either character raising a sword to the other, but I find it even less likely that Usagi would be willing to strike a fatal blow.
