Usagi Yojimbo DojoBoard

hey everyone,
this is a usagi yojimbo topic. i was wounding what animals would you like to see more on the usagi yojimbo comics? for me i like to see more bats maybe like a good ninja bat. i don't know if there is any snakes in usagi yojimbo. but it would be nice to see a snake. now it's your turn. talk to you guys later.

I like cats mainly. Go cats!!!!!!111!!!!!11!!!!!!11!!!1!!!1!!!

snakes, there was a snake pretending to be a nun, and lord hebi to name a few. id like to see those elephant ninjas, Zo ninjas thats what they are, as well as some platapuses, and some ostriches, and why not some rats, you know, nezumi, i think they are called.



mainly?

Ithink an Interesting animal would have to be Deer, or Forest animals....that would be neat ^^ like a Forest clane!.

I vote for mice. Elephants would be cool too. How about a giraffe?

that would be soooooooooooooooo funny! they could be teh armys!

Er... ah, nerts. I was going to suggest some naughty Tanuki sorceror to cause Usagi headaches, but the I remembered that tanuki-bozu in Wrath of the Tangled Skein. Of course, if Sakai-sensei is inclined to give them the same dispensation as foxes (mystical, myth-wrapped critter, BUT ALSO valid "character race"), the way is clear.

not really an animal but obakegasa are kick butt, well..thats really all they can do..being an umbrella on a foot and all.

Monkey ninjas. They'd be all agile and dexterous, masters of hand to hand combat, but prone to bragging (possibly not the best quality in a ninja). Also monkeys are under-rated, and what could be cooler than a ninja monkey?

i forgot has there been dog characters in usagi yojimbo? i like to see more dogs maybe like a war between the cats and dog clans.

Umm... Stray Dog maybe?

Do extinct animals count? Because I'd love to see a Dodo Ninja clan .

The Zo Ninja clan is a neat idea, but I think that Sakai-sensei ditched it. There have been plenty of cats, but only one tiger and one lion, if I recall (there was a lion casualty in one of the very first UY stories, but that doesn't count ). Oxens, wolves, mice, deers, weasels, porcupines, koalas (they're aggresive!), hyenas, bulls, and pretty much any other mammal out there (although reptiles and birds would also be good). There are too many to choose from.

I've got a question that's been bugging me for awhile. What kind of animal was Buichi Toda (Mifune's traitorous general)? In "Goblin" he looks like an Ox-based animal with a horn on his nose like a rhino. Any speculation???

Gunblade, that was a great idea for a topic of discussion. It's been fun to think about the possibilities.
