Probably more so the seeking part than the hiding part.

First Blood!
Looks like Ken’s not gonna LEAF her anywhere to hide. She better make like a tree, and get outta there. Also, if Ken truly plans to leave her NOWHERE to hide, then good game forests, it was a good run you had, but now the killing time begins. When Ken is found to have climbed the highest mountain to slay the last tree on Earth, he will be asked, “Ken, why did you climb the mountain?” Ken will reply, “Because I want to make love to the mountain.” Then he’ll die of asphyxiation because the sudden death of all trees caused a lack of proper oxygen. Only then will Ken defeat all of the Wataro Clan. It will turn out that Ken, the last surviving member (?) of his kind will in turn commit mass genocide. Ken was the enemy all along! Alex, he IS the thirteenth Angel.

Would’ve liked to see the “Knotch” sound effect from last time. Yumiko “Twangs” at him and Ken thinks so little of of her!!? NO! He needs to know that Yumiko IS the danger! She is the one who Knotch(es) …(Breaking Bushido 2013)

Is this a Breaking Bad reference of some sort?! I admit to having not watched that series. A heinous crime, I’m told.
Sunwu
no prob I’m on a marathon of the stuff XD sorry

Don’t worry, little tree. All ninjas coat their weapons in sleeping potion, so the mean, ugly man will be asleep before the big steel blade touches you. Phew, that was close!

This is most likely wishful thinking on the tree’s part.
Jake
it is more likely that the”Kadoosh” will kick in before any toxin or sleeping drug because of ken’s tolerance level to other intoxicating agents. the tree is then more likely to become, kindling, paper, and matchsticks

Hey, Ken’s not ugly!
Hfar
Hmmmm. I wonder if that arrow is laced with some sort of drug or poison?
Those are definite scars on her. Hopefully we’ll get some fleshing out of Yumiko’s character here. She would have to be one of the most awesome yet enigmatic of anyone in the comic so far, but I feel like there’s something deep to her. Hopefully we’ll find out soon.
http://www.nn4b.com suburban_samurai
T’is worthy of note that Yumiko has had scars on her since her first appearance. They do have an explanation, but they also look really cool. I think she’s mostly enigmatic because she hasn’t been in the comic much, maybe a total of five pages up to this point, nor said a single word. She also wears a mask. Mysterious!
Charvale
Does anyone else think that Ken and Yumiko would look like a cute couple?
=6.o=
Just me??
Oh and THANK GOD YOU’RE BACK!!!
=T.T=
I HAVE MISSED NO NEED FOR BUSHIDO!!!
http://www.nn4b.com suburban_samurai
WE MISSED YOU TOO! I dunno about Ken and Yumiko, their personalities might grate. But maybe that’s just from an abundant amount of sexual tension! (I say this having only shown Yumiko in half a dozen pages in the entire comic.)
KungFuKlobber
If their personalities grate, they might just be grate together!
http://www.nn4b.com suburban_samurai
Oh gods, the puns!!
Charvale
From what we’ve seen of Yumiko (which isn’t a whole lot) she’s obviously driven with an abundant amount of determination, meticulous, and incredibly skilled. In many ways, she would be a compliment to Ken’s rampages, his bull-headed stubbornness, and obvious skill with a 12 foot long sword.
=^_^=
Besides, I could imagine make-up sex between them would be similar to the scene from Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Either way, if they survive what they do to each other, they might just find they have a lot of fun together.
http://www.nn4b.com suburban_samurai
ha! Well, I suppose that’s not the worst mental image to pop into my head. I actually liked Mr and Mrs Smith quite a bit, I could totally picture that.
Gillsing
If Ken leaps up into the tree, and Yummyko stays put, they’ll both be sitting in a tree together. And we all know what that means.
MoveAlongCitizen
Just hire Yumiko to kill him, but specify “close quarters only.” Either they’ll kill each other or hook up. Either way, I call it a victory.

This is basically a retelling of the classic Pirate Vs. Ninja debate. And for the critics out there, Ken is a booze-loving brawler who steals gold from anyone unlucky enough to cross his path. Tell me that doesn’t fit!
http://www.nn4b.com suburban_samurai
Ah, but he does not have A BOAT. I hear that is an ESSENTIAL pirate element!
Thiago Kurovski
SHIP! It’s called a SHIP!
randompersonality
Captain Jack Sparrow had issues with that aspect of piracy and we still consider him a pirate…>->
Matthew Geletka
That’s what my rebuttal was going to be. At first I thought it was a bit of a stretch, but then I remembered what comic we’re reading
http://www.nn4b.com suburban_samurai
Ah, but Captain Sparrow had a ship, he was just not aboard it a majority of the time. Others may have claimed ownership of the Black Pearl, but let’s be fair, it was always Jack’s ship. Ken might be able to hold a pirate title even without a ship, though. But what he really needs is a HAT.
Matthew Geletka
What? No! There are different kinds of pirates! Style Pirates (who live by the Rule of Cool), Fearsome Pirates (the dark counterpart to Style Pirates who inspire fear instead of jealousy), Weapons Pirates (broken down into the categories of finesse weapons and shock-and-awe weapons), Cool Wise Pirates (which can be confused for style pirates, but their role is less of a rock star and more of a piratey Gandalf), and the Comic Relief. Jack needed his hat because he was a style pirate! But Ken would do just fine as a Shock-and-Awe Weapons pirate, so long as he keeps his sword.
http://www.nn4b.com suburban_samurai
I give! Your knowledge of pirate types and styles far exceeds my own! Ken is totally a weapons pirate.
Matthew Geletka
Well I was working on a webcomic with my buddy about a ninja on a pirate ship. I guess I should know something on the subject! And it’s refreshing to see somebody who has fun with his characters. I bet it’s (one of the reasons) why this comic is so great!
John Smith
If a tree falls in the forest, does it say “Oh, crap! Not again!?”
Neska
That’s bowls of petunias . . .
MoveAlongCitizen
Where’s Dent Arthurdent when you need him?
Neska
I agree with you, creator of comics, that Ken is so very cool!
I’ve been obsessed with him since his first appearance the first time I read this!
