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!
Yori isn’t a Wataro bastard, you see. He’s the daimyo’s legitimate son.
The Daimyo disowned Yori he’s our nn4b’s Zuko if Zuko was less angsty and more pretty
This does not make my previous comment untrue.
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’.
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.
I always wondered what would happen if ken met a big fan
He would crush it/him/her, as he would all who confront him!
He’d be blown by it.
Wood isn’t done with it’s revenge yet.
I am not 100% sure which wood products you’re referring to, sir…
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.
Ken is used to being on the delivering end of surprise uppercuts.
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.
You misunderstand. He’s on the receiving end here, not the delivering end.
I meant it’s not something you can really get accustomed to. Just said it in my typical obscure, nonsensical way. Yay confusion!
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
any of the above is a plausible occurrence
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.
as long as I see it in the comic it’s credit enough for me
Why would she steal from low level Wataros? She’d steal from the ones like Hirotomo and Nataku if she needed to, right?
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.
Allow her to explain how she objects to your line of reasoning.
Ken don’t have time to wait around for explanations!
A ninja’s gotta do what a ninja’s gotta do!
Well, he has a point.
well let’s not go breaking fans over it, though.
No, he left it behind.
I mean… the pointy stick. Because that’s the point, Daisuke style.
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?
Depends on how it’s taken. ooooooooooooooh
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!
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!
Hey, you have to work hard to become a master of nerdaoism. Even for I there is still much ahead.
Love me a palm strike
best way to avoid breaking your thumb!
And your knuckles! 😜
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!
I don’t want Yumiko to take her mask off because I don’t want to be sad.
Under what scenario would her mask removal make you happy?
If she had a second mask underneath the first.
Well Alex I’m not entirely sure. But I do know this:

Changed my name from poo, couldn’t sign in as guest for some rizzin
OH GEEZ OH GOSH! Well, I don’ think you have to worry that much…
/sigh of relief
Ha ha, that image on the right is pretty messed up. Why would she have a giant squid mouth?
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.
I, for one, am impressed by your mastery of the MS Paint program, sir!
I would think she’d have just three scars on her mouth
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.
And if no diplomat appears? What then, disaster??
The risk of disaster, certainly. But Ken does have his lucid moments on occasion; one of those could occur.
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.
And THAT gentlemen is why you NEVER mess with a woman’s interior decorating.
It could’ve been worse, John. A lot worse…
As always, your sound effect are a thing of beauty. They leave me speechless.
They come from the edge of madness that is 3am.
Ah. A place I know only too well.
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!!!
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).
