I was actually thinking the exact same thing. ^^

And even if he didn't, Cho could always just wahjump and thus avoid his swing. (Or do something that sounds like "bodyblock'd" with an enemy soldier)

Then again, they have already agreed to fight, so wouldn't their own personal honor stop them from running away in the middle of the battle? I'd say any lone flee-er would lose his face (or at least the first guy to run anyways), and samurai or not, nobody wants to lose their face.

Maybe so, but it will most likely suck for the villagers first...

Yeaah... If someone burned my house, I would burn him. Then live in his house.

You're crazy for missing the mustache. There is also mustache below those two eyes. Also, its eying the group of people on the background more likely (We are talking about the tree on the right hand side, right? Two dots around the main body of the tree...)

Hmmm... did anyone else notice how the third battle plan from top looks like giant partial mushroom with face? Or have I just plaid too many Mario-games during my life? (x's make eyes and )) would be the mouth ect.)

Urmm... What do you mean "No explosives?" That black powder that goes "BOOM" when you lit it aint explovely enought for you? It was invented on 9th century, and we know that the comic is based on... well, as Kabuki's history starts in 1603, so the comic is based on some unspecified period after that...
All in all, there is black powder which makes pretty colory thingys on the sky, or gives a good speed for a small piece of metal that really wants out of the long pipe of metal it has been trapped in. Or if you are dull minded, just blows stuff up.

So wed have the PHP accept strip_id as well as strip_date? riiight. I really see no need for that. Whats the need for having update dates in the names anyways? I can see no benefit...

Funny, I prefer the number of the comic. Consider this: when you start reading a comic that has already been on for 2 years, you start reading from number one. Lets say, for some reason you think you've missed a page. Now if you have a number, its easy to check, if you have date, thats rather impossible. Besides, for those that do not like the buttons but rather give the server php commands (manipulate url) numbers are predictable whereas dates are not. All in all, yay for current system.

Am I really the only one laughing out loud at the part "we'll take those farmers from behind"? Maybe I am just too tired currently.
Or people here are too innocent to think that way right away. ^_^

Thinking about it, the stuff Ken is drinking is just the right color too... xD

Humm, interesting thing I noticed, not really too closely related to the comic itself, but the fans here seem to be waiting for the next page just to be able to give better guesses about the pages after that... Interesting, don't you think?

Btw, neither do I see anything wrong with the directions, villagers look from north, the little army is traveling east, looking from north east is on the left side, as it seems to be in the picture.

Indeed it had, but usually when... wait what, did you say "delay the battle"? Touché. Throw in few laser cannons and x-wings for all I care, as long as the battle comes in time. ^__^

Indeed history is full of generals like that (fools that should not have been generals in the first place). But won't armies of that size always have few scouts in front? Not just when entering a village, but also when marching in forest, swamps, ect. Knowing that there is a opponent who is expecting the attack, should not make anyone less cautious...
I bet you remember the characters page that says: "... Atsumori exercises a great deal of caution..."?

True, but it just bugs me that there is a possibility that would potentially be the best way to handle the situitation, but both sides ignore it, enemy not sending few troops before to check the security of the area, and the villagers just being happy with few arrows and minor killing, like they would not really want to win...

Re: No Need for Bushido! Webcomic updates Mondays!

Sanzennin — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 10:29:47 -0000

Exactly. But my point is, the story gets a bit... less great with the all that the villagers are supposed to outwit the opponents strategy genious general, but neither side takes a note for such a simple attack as rolling few big large hurtfull items on the attacking army's necks. I mean, the General sends no scouts, and on the villagers side, they just wont do it.

I wonder why the villagers ain't rolling no trees down that hill, would take out whole lot of the attacking force.

Umm, you mean the "Usually kanji with kana in one word even."? Well, I guess I should have given examples right from the beginning. Now, lets see... Ok, one word "see" in Japanese text would be 見る　In which the first symbol is Kanji and the second one is Hiragana, as in "kanji with kana" (as in Katakana or Hiragana, guess I should have written Hiragana since there really are no actual words that would be written as Kanji with Katakana.)
Or was it something else that was hard to understand? I wrote that explanation like 4 A.M, right before going to sleep, so...

Re: No Need for Bushido! Webcomic updates Mondays!

Sanzennin — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 20:52:38 -0000

Well, since its written with Katakana rather than Kanji, it doesn't neccesarily mean anything. At least I do not recognize the word as anything that would mean anything in modern Japanese. Oh, and just a side note if you're interested: Katakana has around ７０ symbols which are pronounced the same as Hiragana symbols. And then there is kanji with... erm, "a lot" symbols. (Guess you could read the "symbol" like "character" or "letter" but I just like calling em symbols.) Anyways, the differences between these 3 writing systems that are used together, at the same time that is, all three in one sentence. Usually kanji with kana in one word even. So the difference: Kanji, every symbol has a meaning and the way you read the symbol depends if its alone (with maybe Hiragana in the end) or together with another Kanji. Hiragana, each symbol/letter has no meaning alone, but you can write any Japanese word using Hiragana only... thus doing so might make the reader confused as Japanese words usually have lots of meanings depending on the Kanji you write it with. The difference with Hiragana and Katakana, which are basically the same letters, just different symbols, is that you write Japanese words and maybe Names (in case you dont know the Kanji or if the name doesnt have Kanji) with Hiragana. You write foreing words and foreign name's with Katakana. I think I forgot to tell something of great significance, well, guess it doesn't matter anyways.

Its not exactly _Japanese names. Its names in general. Actually I find Japanese names easier since they always mean something, or well, in most of the cases anyways.
Thus this one fellow club member, whose name is 若畑 (WakaHata) "Young field", I keep calling "WataHaka" which is just a mistake on my part and means nothing. Or well, you could translate it into "Cotton Grave".

Convoluted... urm... I dont even mean what that... I mean, I dont even know what that means.
Anyways, the plot is just fine, actually, I believe it becomes better when build with time. Like history.

The names are what's hard to keep track of. I reaally suck at remembering names. I called the guy sitting next to me during classes just "that guy" or "the guy sitting next to me during classes" for several months because I couldn't remember hes name. Then the guy changed. And I still dont remember their names.

Or what about turning a one no-name characters death into something as big as if the main character had died. Now thats something un-usual. ^__^
