Samurai Rabbit The Usagi Chronicles Release Date: Netflix’s Premiere & First Look

By Jivika On Apr 4, 2022

You can watch an anime called “Samurai Rabbit: The Usagi Chronicles.” It’s about the Usagi Yojimbo comic. Starting in 1984, the comic book was made into a series. It’s still going strong today. Because of the Usagi Yojimbo comics, people remember them for a long time.

Stan Sakai came up with the comic book series Usagi Yojimbo, and he made it. When it comes to Japanese history, mostly takes place at the start of the Edo period. Instead of people, it shows humanoid creatures. It’s been 37 years since Sakai has been writing, drawing, and lettering Usagi Yojimbo. The character has been in a lot of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated shows.

Samurai Rabbit: the Usagi Chronicles Plot

So far, there isn’t a lot we can say about the movie’s plot. When Stan Sakai wrote Miyamoto Usagi, one thing we know is that many of his stories aren’t written in a way that makes them easy to follow. In his job as a bounty hunter, Usagi spends a lot of time taking on small jobs and simple favors, like protecting families or killing corrupt leaders. If Samurai Rabbit: The Usagi Chronicles does the same thing, it won’t be a surprise.

There is a part of the show called “Usagi Chronicles” that is interesting, though. It suggests that Yuichi might look back at his ancestor’s quests for help. On paper, Yuichi could be inspired by any Usagi story, but the most likely one is Grasscutter because Saki won an Eisner Award for it in 1999. This is the name of the powerful sword that Usagi gets.

The sword has the power of the gods and is sought after by a group of people called the Conspiracy of Eight. They want to use the sword to overthrow the Shogunate and restore the power of the Emperor, so they want to get the sword.

This story is very much like the rest of Usagi Yojimbo. It is full of Japanese history and mythology, like a lot of the rest. There’s no reason to be surprised if Samurai Rabbit used the Kusanagi in its storyline.
