We all know Grasscutter-- but in an interview, Stan Sakai mentions that there were two other "imperial regalia" that existed. What items were they?
For each right answer you get a number in the generator (and by generator I mean piece of paper in a hat, since I am bad at technology.)

Bonus Entry: In that same interview, he mentions that, in some ways, Usagi is similar to this very popular Franco-Belgian comic series.

Bonus Bonus: Since this week passes the Fourth of July, if you can name any comics Stan Sakai has done (if he has done any, I can't think of any right off the bat) that take place in America, you will get an extra TWO entries.

Good job! I could only think of one book Stan did that took place in the U.S. and he didn't draw/write the entire comic. Can't wait to see your answers.

In case any one is wondering, so far I have accepted 5 different stories as comics Stan Sakai drew that take place in America. So if you got everything right the maximum (thus far) would be... 13 entries!

Yes, and you now have 27 entries, blowing our previous total out of the water.

Also, anyone who knows how to do the random number generator, please PM me instructions if you could.

Woo hoo! :D

I usually do a screen grab / print screen after the random number is generated, not sure how others show their results.
