Samurai Part II

First Published: July 1987 by Fantagraphics Books

• Miyamoto Usagi
• Sensei Katsuichi

Usagi continues his story. After six months, Usagi had yet to pick up a bokuto and had feared that he would never learn anything about the martial way.

Quite unexpectedly, Katsuichi began to systematically beat the daylights out of Usagi. Initially, Usagi thought the old man's mind had snapped, until logic led him to the conclusion that he was being trained to be ever aware of the presence of danger. Eventually, Usagi was no longer taken by surprise, and training began in earnest. Katsuichi lectured Usagi on the way of bushido as well as training him with the sword; teaching him the use of weapons while tempering him with the arts and philosophy.

Many more months passed and Usagi's skills grew until he actually struck his sensei. A proud moment for Katsuichi, seeing the culmination of his efforts finally paying off.
