UPDATE: I said there would not be an update on 3/6, and there was not! But because of several personal events occurring this month (family visiting, and now a vacation that I did not properly plan ahead for, general lack of free time), I’m in a position where I’ve run out of time to properly complete the next page and get it to Cole for coloring! So, re-evaluating my schedule, it’s going to take a lot of stress off my shoulders to push the comic into a three week hiatus. I know that kinda stinks because the story is about to go into wrap-up mode, but we will be back at the end of March, 3/30, and move into the conclusion of NN4B!

——————————————————————————————-

Looks like all the villains have been killed and/or redeemed! I think we’re fresh outta bad guys, everyone.

Just a heads up that there will not be an update next week!

“Lay down your arms! These are not our enemies!”
“Even the fat ninja guy?”
“Especially the fat ninja guy!”
- Minando
  
  ‘But he’s fat! And a ninja! He must be extremely dangerous!’
  ‘What? Why?’
  ‘Because he’s a fat ninja *who is still alive*!’

In the end, Nataku was right. Eijro found a problem in his way, eliminated it, and is now the daimyo. Winning!
- Killiak
  
  He thought he didn’t have a shot at it, but he got what he aimed for!
  - Nos Rin aka CTCO
    
    boooooooooooo, okay actually that was pretty good.
- themadpsychologist
  
  Heh. I wonder what happens to Nataku now. The poor sap has no idea.
  - Turul
    
    He’ll be reincarnated as an ant, then Yumiko steps on him.
    
    ETA: Hm. Actually, he can be reincarnated as a millipede instead, so Yumiko and Ken both have room to step on him.
    - themadpsychologist
      
      Nuts. I somehow forgot Nataku was already dead. But, as you point out, there’s no reason in this setting that he can’t die twice.

There will not be an update next week because the comic is over! Nothing left to see here!
Crestlinger

Heheh poor fool. You thought the wife was bad living?! Wait till you can’t ever escape Anywhere in the afterlife and she’s had This long to stew on matters.
- Hfar
  
  “You put our sons through WHAT?!!”
  - Minando
    
    You chose your avatar for this, admit it
    - Hfar
      
      Nope! Ask anyone here and they’ll attest I’ve had this avatar for years. Just got lucky this time.

talk about a hostile takeover

Gee, all out of bad guys? I guess that means a certain sub-plot involving a certain character named after a certain Keanu Reeves movie will go forever unanswered…

Oh, and we no longer have to worry about that prophecy re: The End Of The World. That’s a relief.

😀
- Major Tom
  
  In the last panel of the last comic, we see Cho entering a bar where there just happens to be the other two guys in the prophecy.
- Tim “Azur3flame” Eldred
  
  Perhaps only the end of the world, as they know it.
  
  Matrix led them to this, question is how things will be seen through.
  - themadpsychologist
    
    Yeah, my bet is on the webcomic ending.
Turul

Easy to promise for Yori. It’s hardly like he could find a way to bring his clan less honour than his dad.
clogboy

Sez the guy who shot the Daimyo…
Sunwu

Ejiro: Those guys over there are, especially Tanaka he knows what he did.
- themadpsychologist
  
  Tanaka is dead, and was in the Senshin clan. http://nn4b.com/comic/763 Do you mean Nataku?
  - Sunwu
    
    Nah, as I understand it Tanaka is the John smith of names in Japan
    - themadpsychologist
      
      Oh, I see. I thought you were referring to a specific character.
Minando

Sometimes I forget that in times past killing your old dad was a legit career move.
So, everyone is okay with that.
Fine.
…
clogboy

Little did we know: this was just the prologue.
Kinda hoped there was a painting for Hirotomo’s death, just like with the DoS. Not because he was evil, but because he was a significant character.

  Chapter one starts in two weeks.
Kid Chaos

Damn, talk about Famous Last Words… 🙄

- Minando
  
  Okay, that’s a little bit extreme
Major Tom

And now comes the revelation of a coup against Eijiro because of course nobody’s going to respect the title of Daimyo on someone who shoots their own Dad in the back like a coward.
Archangel

Let’s face it: Ei-kun will make a much better Daimyo than Yori-kun. No reason that big brother can’t be his Daimyo’s strong right hand, though.
Amafabee

“These are not our enemies, but the angry dude with the giant sword shouting obscenities and killing all of our vassals right outside probably is. Maybe 70/30 odds.”
- Tim “Azur3flame” Eldred
  
  Not killing, “distracting”. Ken can’t promise they’ll be uninjured – gotta make the threat believable – but killing is probably off the table.
  - IDPounder
    
    Kadoosh really knows no off-speed. It’s either ‘kadoosh’ and death, or nothing at all.
Brandenfascher

So!…. Who won the bet? Matrix or Lex?
- Kid Chaos
  
  Matrix was betting on Yori to survive, so I think she wins. 😎
SlugFiller

So Hirotomo got killed by his son, who then became the new Daimyo. Keikaku doori!
Dreadogastus

I have not read this story in YEARS!! And I come back to THIS page!! You know what this means don’t ya’? Deep archive dive.

  Welcome back! You’re just in time for the wrap up!
clogboy

Oh no, hi-8-us! Hi-haters gonna hate XD

…Let’s talk about Alita, I guess?
Seekis

This cannot be the end..!? what about the matrix guys? that plothole hasn’t been addressed
Kid Chaos

“And I am right, and you are right, and all is right as right can be… ”
