Why is it called the Dragon Bellow Conspiracy?

I just read volume 4 of Usagi Yojimbo and was wondering why is it called the Dragon Bellow Conspiracy? I understand that there was a conspiracy with the black powder, but why the title Dragon Bellow?

Which clans from the Sengoku era still exist?

I know the Date and Tokugawa clans have decendants that are still alive and well, but I was wondering what other clans still have survivors. The only ones that I think are wiped out are the Takeda (thanks to Nobunaba) and the Toyotomi (thanks to Ieyasu).

More for the wiki

I was wondering if anyone updates the Usagi Yojimbo Wiki site. As a suggestion, I think it would be a good idea to include all of the story descriptions for each chapter. Adding pictures to the character's profile would also be a good idea.

A story suggestion for Stan

Since Usagi is set during the Sengoku era, I was wondering if you could create a character based on Oda Nobunaga. He was one of the most ruthless samurai of all time and even introduced firearms to Japan. I would love to see Usagi take on a character based on him. Thank you for your time.

Interesting that Eastman is on board with the Ninja Turtles again. I thought he said he wanted nothing to do with the turtles or Laird.

Saddest moment in Usagi Yojimbo

What do you think is the saddest moment in Usagi Yojimbo? For me it was the death of Noodles, which I just read today. It just hit a nerve for some reason. He was only in it for two chapters, but this moment upset me.

What is the fate of Mirage Studios?

I am aware that Peter Laird sold the TMNT franchise to Nickelodeon and that several artists such as Jim Lawson decided to leave the company. Is Mirage shutting down?What will happen to the TMNT comics?

Just read volume 2(Spoilers)

I thought it was a rather sad story. Lord Mifune loses his wife and son to Lord Hikji. To top it all off, he gets betrayed by his most trusted ally. I would have liked to see what Usagi said to Gunichi before he killed him. These books are just great. I finish them rather quickly.

Will Lord Hikiji return?

I was reading on the site that Lord Hikiji is hardly in the series because Stan didn't like his design as a human. He is the main villain, so I was hoping he would be in it more. If he didn't like his design as a human, can he change him into something else? Maybe even give him one eye since he is b...

Chizu and Tomoe Ame

I am aware of both of their background stories, but I feel both characters look too similar. Look wise, what is the difference between Chizu and Tomoe Ame?

Some questions

Hello, I am new to reading Usagi Yojimbo. So far I have read Volumes 1, 8, 9, and am reading 12, 18, and 19. I have a couple of questions. 1.When and how does Usagi first encounter the Ninja Turtles? 2.Do the lizards serve a purpose to the story or are they just cameos? 3.What are the different ninj...
