December scavenger hunt and prize pack

Post by jabba359 »

Once again, December is upon us. Last year we had a scavenger hunt in lieu of weekly trivia, as the holidays can make running those a bit more difficult. The theme of last year was death skulls, where I had people find a huge variety of different skulls. This year, I'm going to flip that the other way around. Even though Usagi has killed quite a few opponents, he prefers not to kill them unless he has to. So for this scavenger hunt, I want people to find instances where Usagi uses non-lethal ways to disable an opponent, whether that be knocking them out with the handle of his sword, fighting them without unsheathing his sword, throwing rocks at them, knocking them out with a punch to the face (as in my example), or any other method you can find.

Secret of the Hell Screen part 2 - page 15
When Usagi stops Kato from destroying the Hell Screen with a knife, Kato turns on Usagi and tries to kill him. Knowing that Kato is not in his right mind, Usagi knocks him out rather than kill him.

So, how do you play? Just post an example (that hasn't been posted yet) of Usagi using non-lethal methods to defeat his opponent. A picture is great, but not necessary. To qualify, just provide the story title, page number, and write up a quick sentence or two explaining what happens, just as I did above. You can enter once per day, so can theoretically get up to 31 entries. This contest starts now and runs through the end of the month.

This month's prize pack has a very unique item, compliments of Steve Hubbell. The DeviantArt of Usagi Yojimbo is a hardcover, 110-page book printed on thick, semi-glossy paper featuring a multitude of artists. Only 3 copies were produced, so this is a very rare chance indeed. So thanks to Steve for this awesome donation. Also, thanks to Stan for his contributions as well as the artists who have donated their skills to all the original sketch cards.

About the artist - Christopher Uminga is a contributor to the Usagi Yojimbo themed 2013 Baltimore Comic Con Yearbook. Chris has done work for Disney (his art can be found in Disney's Wonderground Gallery), DC, IDW, Marvel, and more. He also has three DC Artist Alley statues coming out next year, featuring Wonder Woman, Batman, and Superman sculpts based on his artwork. You can see more of what he's done on his Instagram account: https://www.instagram.com/uminga720/

Great question. Post them here. That way people can see what has already been found so they don't submit duplicates.

Since the list is empty, I'll submit an entry that is not yet in the (empty) list:
Secret of the Hell Screen part 2 - page 15
When Usagi stops Kato from destroying the Hell Screen with a knife, Kato turns on Usagi and tries to kill him. Knowing that Kato is not in his right mind, Usagi knocks him out rather than kill him.

I like doing these in publication chronological order.

We can't start killing off our future friend/love interest, can we now?

This book was self-published by Steve. As most self-published books, it was very expensive to create. Whoever wins this is in for a treat.

Looking forward to seeing everyone's submissions in December. Peace, maka

Dear Jabba,

So this wouldn't qualify because I didn't include the story title and page number, correct? ;)

Gamblers demand Usagi dances. Usagi instead uses his sword to cut flies in half. The gamblers flee.

Non lethal, but still violent: The Treasure of the Mother of Mountains part 2 or 3 (Not sure, they aren't numbered in the TPB), p21 of the story, and p253 of Saga#5.
