The US S Yumiken stands ready to take action at a moment’s notice.

Ship it! Ship it good! 😍

Would it be terribly boorish of me to say that, despite the sight of Ken getting his butt (apparently) handed to him, Yumiko looks rather sexy in a ruthlessly cold way on this page?

That is pretty much her MO. Looking sexy and ruthless, that is.

I get the feeling she is really hot under that mask. I still ask if we will see some good guy ninja eventually. Hanzu Hattori for example?
http://www.nn4b.com suburban_samurai
She’s hot pro or sans mask. We might get some good guy ninjas in the not too distant future!

Quite ironically Treevenge results in yet another dead tree. Poor trees.

The trees are the real victims here!

Won’t someone think of the saplings?!
Thiago Kurovski
OK, Yumiko, stop pretending. We all know you’re in love with his tree-destroying ways!

Sometime trees just need killin’. Yumiko is still grappling with this moral conundrum.

Ken’s body might just be sharper than his sword.
http://www.nn4b.com suburban_samurai
His mind, perhaps, is not as sharp as either.

You try sharpening a sword the size of a locomotive and see how long before you just let it get dull…

She’s as bad as Ken. She totally saw that Dragon right at the start but still wanted to kick some ass first.
She’ll claim later that she didn’t see it. Use that single eye as an excuse. But we all know she saw it… Yep, a true Daisuke

To be fair, her goal wasn’t really to see the dragon, it was to kick some ass. Dragon glimpsing was more of a bonus.

Isn’t being one eyed a problem for people who like to shoot things from a distance? You know like depth perception? Or am I being a nag here….
hates_disqus
Its entirely possible to compensate for a lack of depth perception by using the realative sizes of objects to gauge distance.
I didnt develop depth perception until i was in my 20s, but I was a competition archer for 8 years.
Its easier now that I can judge depth, but it wasn’t really a handicap.
Even though that ninja girl is sexy as hell, Ken is losing wood right on the first panel. (And already sleeps on the last.)
Quite an anticlimatic romance, if you ask me.
Sythirius
Hm. I bet that she’s actually a Daisuke of some kind. Those marks on her body look like burns I’ve had.
leavescat
It makes sense. She might even be someone related to Ken. Princess escapes from massacre, joins ninja clan for revenge, same old story. Would explain the injured eye and burns (she’s actually the most clothed of the leadership), as well as a possible obsession with killing Yorikiro. It would seem a bit odd that they were doing business with the Wataro clan, but considering how readily they wanted to screw them for a better offer, I’m willing to bet there’s more than one Daisuke (or sympathiser) in the clan who has a beef with Wataro.

This is very sound logic. Not completely accurate but perhaps not too far off the mark.

She’s probably thinking about the insane number of trees it took to take him down in the end.

*gasp* what is this? a chance for the Daisuke Clan to be reborn? *cues up sexy sax music*

Where’s Lionel when you need him?
Speedy Marsh
They really are meant for each other. They’ve just met, and already she’s got him falling on his own sword.
User Unknown
She is totally contemplating kissing him.

Is she just begging for him to grab her ankle and swing her around like he does that sword?
