Don’t mess with her stuff, Ken! Geez, that’s like girlfriend etiquette 101.

Friends! Our Kickstarter for Volume 2 is LIVE. Fingers crossed it makes its (we think pretty reasonable) goal, and perhaps far beyond! I’ll not go over all the details of the campaign, since that’s laid out on our actual Kickstarter page. Check it out! Joe put a lot of time into the video, and I think he really sells it, and that’s coming from a totally unbiased point of view!

Disgraceful! What kind of total loser scumsucking pathetic toadied tool would work with a Wataro? Unbelievable. You’re even lamer than Yorikiro.

  Contrast ‘work for’ and ‘work with’

    Good point!
- KungFuKlobber
  
  Yori isn’t a Wataro bastard, you see. He’s the daimyo’s legitimate son.
  - Sunwu
    
    The Daimyo disowned Yori he’s our nn4b’s Zuko if Zuko was less angsty and more pretty
    - KungFuKlobber
      
      This does not make my previous comment untrue.
    - http://www.nn4b.com suburban_samurai
      
      Ha, I never thought of the Zuko/Yori comparison! They’re so different in personality, but their circumstance and end goals are pretty much identical. Yori came first! Just sayin’.
      - Sunwu
        
        First they use Yukizane’s personality and fatness for general Iroh now their Stealing Yori’s back story! Time for you to sue nick!!! out the butt!!!

  This made me smile, but Ken’s somewhat short sighted and I don’t believe it’s the first time he’s made an ironic accusation!

If Ken keeps abusing wood products like that, he’s going to ruin his chances of becoming a fan favorite.
- Sunwu
  
  I always wondered what would happen if ken met a big fan
  - http://www.nn4b.com suburban_samurai
    
    He would crush it/him/her, as he would all who confront him!
  - Xinef
    
    He’d be blown by it.
    
    Wood isn’t done with it’s revenge yet.
- http://www.nn4b.com suburban_samurai
  
  I am not 100% sure which wood products you’re referring to, sir…
  - IDPounder
    
    Wooden slats in fans all the way up to trees and partial forests, Ken doesn’t care and is a destructive force towards all. He’s like the honey badger of lumber.
KungFuKlobber

Ken is used to being on the delivering end of surprise uppercuts.
- Mike
  
  Doubtful that makes it any more pleasant. It’s like banging your knee into your low table, no matter how many times it happens, it still smarts.
  - KungFuKlobber
    
    You misunderstand. He’s on the receiving end here, not the delivering end.
    - Mike
      
      I meant it’s not something you can really get accustomed to. Just said it in my typical obscure, nonsensical way. Yay confusion!
Sunwu

So like real talk on a theory about why Yumiko isn’t talking and how she got all this stuff:
Yumiko was Captured by the Warato and had her tounge cut out ORRR during the attack in a kill bill like moment she was told to hide and keep quite as the attack was happening but she screamed and ran out and caused a loved one chasing after her to be killed so she vowed never to speak again.

The Wataro gave her to the ninja village thinking they had broken her spirit and controllable OR the ninja clan found her in the woods exhausted and took her in.

As her skills as a Ninja progressed Yumiko would occasionally either/ go back to the Daisuke ruins to gather what she could find from the wreckage/broke into japanese pawnshops to steal back the Daisuke stuff/ Or sneek into low level Wataro offical’s houses to steal back the Daisuke stuff that was being mounted on walls like a hunting trophy and kick the ass of every Wataro that got in her way
- Jake
  
  any of the above is a plausible occurrence
- http://www.nn4b.com suburban_samurai
  
  Oh man, you can write the comic from now on! Maybe we’ll steal some of your ideas and then not credit you, because we’re terrible people like that.
  - Sunwu
    
    as long as I see it in the comic it’s credit enough for me
- Xinef
  
  Why would she steal from low level Wataros? She’d steal from the ones like Hirotomo and Nataku if she needed to, right?
  - Sunwu
    
    She could, and there is nothing to say that she hasn’t from time to time, but doing so would risk attracting the attention of the Wataro Daimyo and if he founds out that there are Daisuke being sheltered by the ninja clan she might lose her home again. This and for unknown plot reasons I would assume she went for the low hanging fruit so to keep her whereabouts and Identity unknown until Ken appeared.
Mike

Allow her to explain how she objects to your line of reasoning.
- http://www.nn4b.com suburban_samurai
  
  Ken don’t have time to wait around for explanations!
- John Smith
  
  A ninja’s gotta do what a ninja’s gotta do!
Richard Cockman

Well, he has a point.
- http://www.nn4b.com suburban_samurai
  
  well let’s not go breaking fans over it, though.
- Xinef
  
  No, he left it behind.
  
  I mean… the pointy stick. Because that’s the point, Daisuke style.
Auctorian .

And thus begins the deadly dance of the Daisuke mating ritual.

  Only one comes out alive. Oh, that could be a double entendre, couldn’t it?
  - Auctorian .
    
    Depends on how it’s taken. ooooooooooooooh
Hfar

There appears to be a conflict of opinion here. Time to settle it the Daisuke way! They’re rather like klingons in this regard.

  Bat’leth at five paces…go!
  - Hfar
    
    Bat’leth? True warriors duel on the spot with D’k tahgs!
    
    ‘Course technichally that wasn’t a challenge to a duel to the death since Yumiko didn’t strike with the back of her hand. #nerdthirdclass

      Once again your knowledge of a particular franchise leaves me flabbergasted!

I’m out of witty comments at the moment.

Anyway, I ship these two so hard. Soooo hard… <3.<3

  I’ll forgive your lack of immediate wit in favor of your enthusiasm!
poo

I don’t want Yumiko to take her mask off because I don’t want to be sad.
- http://www.nn4b.com suburban_samurai
  
  Under what scenario would her mask removal make you happy?
  - Hfar
    
    If she had a second mask underneath the first.

    Well Alex I’m not entirely sure. But I do know this:

      Ha ha, that image on the right is pretty messed up. Why would she have a giant squid mouth?
      - greg zahn
        
        Yeah how could that make sense considering a super scarred body? Definitely ridiculous to think she was tortured and deformed and wanted to hide it. That’s never happened to anyone in history. Also, Microsoft paint. Please understand.
      - http://www.nn4b.com suburban_samurai
        
        I, for one, am impressed by your mastery of the MS Paint program, sir!
      - Sunwu
        
        I would think she’d have just three scars on her mouth
Jonathan B

His accusation was clearly painful, and doubtless undeserved. But not unreasonable, given all he knows is that her ninja clan helped a Wataro plot. This seems like a mysteriously fortuitous cho appearance moment. They need a diplomat.
- http://www.nn4b.com suburban_samurai
  
  And if no diplomat appears? What then, disaster??
  - Jonathan B
    
    The risk of disaster, certainly. But Ken does have his lucid moments on occasion; one of those could occur.
- Xinef
  
  The funny thing is, if a ninja (a single one, or a whole clan) wanted to fight against the Wataro, they would most certainly do it by first appearing to be Wataro’s allies, only to backstab them at the right moment.
  
  So even if we have no reason to believe that the ninja were plotting against the Wataro before Yukizane took over, we can’t really rule such a possibility completely out. I mean sure, typically ninja will work for whoever pays the most, but if they saw Wataro domination as a threat to their business, I suppose they’d break that rule.

Paul Shepanski

No Ken! you can’t mess with her collection! Those are all the things she collected for the “who’s the better killer” contest she wanted to have when she found you again? Imagine the wacky hijinks you’ll get up to, killing the Wataro clan with Daisuke clan paraphernalia! The fan through the esophagus is the easy one, but imagine the creativity and skill required to get that golden dragon through one of those screen doors and into the gonads of one of those stereotypically fat and ugly retainers! And that good luck cat is going to reach terminal velocity. She has a list, Ken, and you can’t break anything before she has a chance to try!

  Someone’s been playing too much Tenchu: Shadow Assassins! I approve.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYBODY!!!
Neska

How could she?
Well, she’s an orphan raised by ninjas and the Wataro have money!
Plus, working for them is a good way to get close so she can actually kill someone important: going around the countryside slaughtering every low-level Wataro grunt really isn’t the most efficient way to take them down (replacement grunts are easily found, after all. generals not so much).
