But she is not one of the choices, is she? You have to choose from the choices provided, Tomoe would have been too easy....

The way the question is phrased makes it sound (to me) that the answer was the first supporting character EVER to appear in an Usagi story. Not the first of the answers you are given to choose from. If you see my point.

It would be better rewritten as "Which of these supporting characters was first to appear in a Usagi Yojimbo story?".

But, if you look at that first story that Tomoe appeared in, who do you see first in the first few panels of the story? Tomoe is just a more familiar and frequent supporting character, but not actually the first. I guess some way of distringuishing major reappearing supporting charaters and regular secondary characters that appear in a single story might have made the question even more clear, but with the list of characters offered as choices, I didn't think it was neccesary.

Nice job Steve, i publish it on UY.fr forum !

even if questions 6 and 17 will be difficult for french audience...

I have decided I worded the last question wrong. It should have read "Where can you increase your knowledge of Usagi Yojimbo?" rather than "Where can you learn more about Usagi Yojimbo?". The answer was all of the above, but the question makes it sound like you are supposed to pick which web-site has the most information.

The choices listed each offers something differant so they are all great places to visit.

Question 6 is the best!

Great quiz Steve,

I just took it and scored 84% or 16 out of 19. I guess I'm a solid "B" fanboy.

Peace, maka
