Usagi Trivia August 10th-17th

[Trevis Woods]

Let's make this an easy one this week!
Cullen Bunn writer for the Sixth Gun just did the intro for volume 31 of Usagi and in return, Stan did an intro for the Sixth Gun HC volume 4 edition.
If you are a fan of the Sixth Gun this will be easy or if you have purchased something very new from Stan this will be even easier.
Each gun has special powers. Over the centuries these guns have taken other forms...possibly even Samurai swords.
If Usagi carried these what would the powers be for each of Usagi's six swords?

[Gaffey]

ARGH!!!!!! I'M AN IDIOT!

[Trevis Woods]

Sorry I guess I should have said PM me your answers

[Gaffey]

HOLY CRAP!! I thought I clicked PM.

[Steve Hubbell]

Oh dang! Someone (Gaffey) posted the answers and I missed them!

[Gaffey]

I feel so bad. On the bright side, maybe we'll have more participants this week.

[Maka]

I, for once, participated this week! (but I know the answers already, so don't feel bad. I didn't see your answers. And I have done the same thing, post my answers directly to the message vs PM. It happens.) Peace, maka

[Trevis Woods]

Two correct answers so far!
Gaffey and Maka are both correct!

[Trevis Woods]

and the winner is...
Gaffey!
I skipped the number generator this time since there were only two contestants.
I put both their names in a hat and picked the winner.
Congrats to Gaffey!
Answers below and if you haven't checked out The Sixth Gun go grab the first TPB.
I was at Planet Comic Con a couple years ago and Stan was two tables down from Cullen Bunn and Brian Hurtt who created Sixth Gun. They both had much respect for Stan and loved his stuff so much. Cool to see them connect and have Stan contribute to the Volume 4 HC collection.
The answer could also be found in the new Usagi Yojimbo sketchbook volume 14. Stan's Sixth Gun intro is included in this new sketchbook detailing what powers Usagi's swords would have if they were the Six in that form.

1st sword - Has the force of the Dragon's Bellow
2nd sword - Spreads the flames of Kagutsuchi
3rd sword - Spreads a flesh-rotting disease
4th sword - Calls forth the spirits of those it had killed
5th sword - Heals even a fatal wound
6th sword - Can reveal the past and the future

[Maka]

Congratulations Gaffey! Trevis, thank you for making a trivia contest that I could answer.

Peace, maka

[Gaffey]

Thanks Trevis and Maka. I don't own the sketchbook yet, but I remembered that jabba had posted the original pages on his SDCC thread. So I suppose I should also thank jabba!

Question will be posted later tonight. I have to figure out the exact wording before posting it.
