He embodies his ancestor’s legacy in a way the stoic samurai we know and love never could. A daring new heist for a legendary spear sets Kaitō down a perilous path, forever altering his destiny and placing the fate of Osaka, and perhaps the world, on his shoulders.

Get ready for a new legend to begin in Usagi Yojimbo: Kaitō ’84 #1 (of 5)when it arrives in comic shops on March 11, 2026, for $4.99.
