Samurai Rabbit: The Usagi Chronicles

Whoa!

Man, this was my good face.

Hyah!

How did you find me?

You're a nature Yokai. This is the most naturey place in Neo Edo.

What do you want?

I want to be the greatest samurai alive.

Karasu-Tengu, I need you to be my sensei.

Anyone I train would develop supernatural fighting abilities.

It would be dangerous to teach these to one such as you!

Hyah!

You are too impulsive!

You act without considering the consequences.

How can I trust you?

Wait, wait, what did you say? I can't fight and listen at the same time!

Hmm.

I'm already pretty good. You wouldn't even have to train me that much!

Hyah!

Whoa!

Do you have any final words?

Three.

Sic her, Spot!

-Oh, Spot. I am very disappointed in you. -Mm. Mm.

Well?

I've brought the scroll, as you commanded.

And gum?

Uh, what?

Didn't I command you to bring gum?

Who did I command to bring gum?

Hmm. Excellent.

We will not let the sudden appearance of Yokai in the city

interfere with our plans.

With this information, we are ready to attack the temple

and seize the Ki-Stone.

Hmm.

Neo Edo will be mine!

Hmm.

Does the gum undercut my whole… image?

You can be honest.

Um… uh… a little.

Ugh. I knew it.

Thank you, Chizu.

You have always been my favorite.

We attack at midnight!

Chizu, you must make sure no one is in the temple at that time.

If anyone remains…

…eliminate them.

Eliminate them?

Of course.

No one must stand in our way.

Not even your new friends.

They tell me you have been spending a lot of time with Usagi, Kitsune and Gen.

You must distance yourself.

Feel nothing for them.

The Ninja Crew is your only family.

To put anyone before us would be dishonorable.

Understood.

Tonight, precisely at midnight,

Neo Edo is ours!

Hmm?

Hyah!

Hyah!

Hyah!

Hmm.

I missed on purpose.

Ha!

Whoa!

Ah!

I missed on purpose too.

Interesting.

Usually when someone picks a Kaikishi weapon, it's a sword.

Or some other flashy, dramatic weapon,

and yet you chose this simple yo-yo.

It was an accident.

There are no accidents.

One time, I got a grape stuck in my nose for a whole year.

There are some accidents.

Whoa!

This yo-yo is the one thing about you that impresses me.

I may, possibly,

consider becoming your sensei.

If you can prove yourself.

I'll do anything!

Almost anything.

Uh, okay, I just thought of six things I won't do.

Uh, eight. Uh, no-no-no, 11.

You must defeat three urban Yokai who are the enemies of nature.

Some call them The Three Enemies of Nature!

Descriptive.

Long ago, before all Yokai were imprisoned in the Ki-Stone,

these three were feared across the land.

Sakuran, Hakai, and Giman,

also known as Distraction, Destruction, and Deception.

All three despise nature.

They prefer cold, lifeless stone buildings.

Sakuran and Hakai are powerful Yokai.

They can possess any object and create mayhem.

Giman is a shape-shifter. It deceives the unwary.

That doesn't sound so bad.

It then eats them!

Ah!

You must defeat these three Yokai and return them to the Ki-Stone.

Done.

Wait. How do I do that?

Some Kaikishi weapons can transfer the spirit energy of Yokai

into the Ki-Stone.

Yours is one of them.

Did you not know that?

Hmm, this thing didn't come with instructions.

It can also help you find Yokai.

It is sensitive to our presence.

Whoa.

I can feel it!

It will lead you to the Yokai you seek.

But you must treat it with respect.

Of course, I-I'm, like, super respectful.

Everyone knows.

I will prove myself to you.

Yeep?

This I swear!

Yeep-yeep! Yeep.

You may be tough, but I'm tougher.

And there's no way I'm gonna let you beat me!

Ha!

There we go.

Hi, girlfriend!

I think the term you're looking for is "work acquaintance."

I said I would help with this, so I am helping.

Thanks, Kasa-Obake.

Hello.

I am pleased to be your new Takahashi Freezematic Encoldinator.

Please select a nickname for me.

Ugh!

Noted.

You may now call me: "Ugh!"

Chizu! I can't reset that.

Guys, guys!

Karasu-Tengu kicked my butt and then agreed to be my sensei!

-How awesome is that? -Really?

Yes!

Well, no.

W-w-well, maybe. I just have to defeat three Yokai.

You don't have to fight monsters to get trained.

Just go see my guy, Bargain Bunji.

Well-- Who? No!

Karasu-Tengu will turn me into the ultimate samurai!

Yeah, if you survive.

But Bargain Bunji gives you a cookie after every session.

His mind's made up, Gen.

Come on, let's do this thing.

-Hyah! -Yeep.

I'll do it alone. A true samurai needs no one.

Uh-uh. No way are you going after these Yokai without us.

-We're all coming with you. -Yeep.

Yeah, we're a team.

We're friends!

We're not friends.

We're barely a team.

I want no part of this.

Okay, then you can stay here and clean up.

Make sure you get under the refrigerator.

I am your new best friend:

"Ugh!"

Fine. I'll go.

All right, you guys can come and watch me fight Yokai.

But do not get in my way!

"Ugh!"

Worst nickname ever, guys.

That's nothing.

My nickname is, "Nickname."

Huh? Whoa!

Ha-ha.

-Usagi! -Whoa!

This is why you need us!

You don't have city reflexes.

You keep stopping and looking at things.

Yeah, what a weird thing to do when I'm looking for something.

Huh?

Huh?

Whoa.

That is amazing.

I've never seen constructionbottos in action.

Huh. Those bottos are actually really cool.

I never stop to look at this stuff.

Look at the crane with the magnet.

It's huge!

It's just a construction site.

How about we hit the arcade?
