Samurai Rabbit: The Usagi Chronicles

The samurai faced off against the terrifying monster.

O-dokuro, legendary Yokai,

one of the many fearsome Yokai that stalked the world long ago.

-Yeep yeep. -Huh?

Yeah, Spot, it is awesome.

And that noble samurai, that Yokai-killing warrior,

was my ancestor, Miyamoto Usagi!

Miyamoto's sword, Willow Branch, was like lightning.

- - Yeep yeep!

Ikuzo!

- -

Again and again, he struck the dreaded Yokai with fierce blows.

Hah! Hyah!

- -Huh?

It's okay, Spot, don't worry.

It's just Auntie's farmbotto. It's not even turned on. See?

Oh no!

Whoops!

Ikuzo!

Someone get a picture!

-Oh no. No! - Eep!

Eep!

No, no, no! Spot, move!

Eep!

Oh no, no, no, not the house! No, no, no!

Whoa! Whoa!

Huh?

Not the watermelons!

-Yeep, yeep! -Okay. I'm okay.

- What? - I'm not okay.

Do I even want to know what's going on here?

- -

It was an accident, but I saved the watermelons.

- - Oh!

Unbelievable.

You could have been hurt.

Does this sign mean nothing to you?

It means "no fighting the farmbotto."

-But he started it! -You're turning 16 tomorrow.

Act your age.

Look at this thing.

It's going to take all day to get it working again.

I'm sorry, Auntie. I was just--

I know. You were dreaming of being a samurai.

And, of course you're sorry.

You're always sorry, and you always do it again.

You can't just do the first thing that comes into your head.

You need to start thinking before you act.

Look at all this! Weeks of work ruined.

That's half our broccoli crop.

And you could have killed somebody!

Fine! So obviously I can't do anything right!

I mean, why am I even here? I'm turning 16! I should go to--

No. You don't talk now.

Just please fix that farmbotto.

Mm…

I'll never be a samurai if I stay here.

This has happened too many times.

She'll be better off without me.

I won't be around to mess up the crops.

And in the city, I can become a samurai like my ancestor.

I'll show everyone.

I've got moves like they've never seen!

Oof!

Auntie!

Hi.

I've made up my mind.

I'm going to Neo Edo,

and you can't stop me.

Whoa!

Let's just relax. You're madder than I thought.

You're right. I can't stop you.

Edgewing!

But it's your sword.

Go on, take it.

You'll need it if you're going to find a sensei in Neo Edo.

Your great-grandfather and I made this sword ourselves

back when I was your age.

And that crystal--

It's called the Omurasaki. It belonged to Miyamoto Usagi.

That crystal has been handed down from generation to generation.

I set it in the sword's hilt myself.

It has always brought me luck.

Well, almost always.

I love you

and I promised your parents I would keep you safe.

But I have to admit that you and this farm are

not a good fit.

This place is killing your soul.

-Goodbye, Spot. -Mm.

Take good care of him.

Thank you, Auntie.

And when you get to Neo Edo,

find someone to teach you the way of the sword.

A sensei.

I don't need a sensei.

I'm already the best. You've been training me for years!

You need more.

You need to learn respect, patience, and wisdom.

Only then can you become what you are meant to be.

A samurai.

Promise me you will find yourself a true sensei.

And that you'll be responsible with that sword.

The greatest master needs their sword the least.

Of course, you're right, Auntie. I'll find a sensei.

And I promise I'll be so responsible with Edgewing.

Who needs a sensei?

I'm already an amazing swordsman.

I'm going to the city to be the greatest samurai ever.

Mm!

Whee.

Oh!

Neo Edo.

We made it, Spot.

Yeep, yeep, yeep!

Neo Edo!

I can't wait to show them what I can do.

- -Whoa!

Whoa!

I guess the Steamcycle is excited to be in Neo Edo too!

I think it's picking up power from the Ki-Stone!

Aw.

What is bothering my sweet little Ki-Stone today?

Are we all tuckered out from powering the whole city?

- Breaking news! -

I've heard of these things. It's a newsbotto.

The criminal Warimashi has escaped custody!

Reward for his capture is 100,000 joules.

Maybe I'll fight that Warimashi.

The criminal Warima--

Okay, Neo Edo, bring on the bad guys!

"Ha! You think yourself a great samurai?"

"We will cut you down like a farmbotto harvesting broccoli."

"Your farm metaphors mean nothing to me."

"It's time to fight."

"Ikuzo!"

Ya!

Usagi is victorious!

And just as it seems things can't get any better for the mighty samurai,

he receives the power of the Ki-Stone.

To fight Yokai!

O-Dokuro, the Skeleton Yokai!

Karasu-tengu, Crow Yokai, master of martial arts!

- - Tsuchi-gumo, the Spider Yokai!

"I am the ultimate Yokai fighter!"

Ya!

- -

- -Whoa!

Okay, maybe we'd be better off on foot, Spot.

I'll come back for ya!

Evening.

- -

Look at the airship, Spot!

- - You're gonna miss it!

Yeep!
