1. Caption: TheYuu Clan.

2. Caption: Ruled by the daimyoAshikaga Yuu, this was one of the greatest

clans of the Muromachi period.

3. Caption: Enjoying considerable support from the samurai class, Ashikaga was

well on his way to becoming shogun. Instead of ruling Japan, however, he

wasbrutally murderedand after his death, his entire clan simplyvanished.

Panel two

An armored ninja (a previous version of the Foot armor from TMNT #5) stands alone.

His stance is battle ready. Snow continues to fall all around him.

4. Caption: History suggests that Ashikagas downfall may have come at thehands of one of his own clan members, Takeshi Tatsuo, a man whose skill

with the sword was matched only by his own ambition.

Panel three

Close on the enraged face of Tatsuo.

5. Caption: Tatsuos reputation had grown so much in such a short time that

even his own masterAshikagahad come tofearhim.

6. Caption: And no man who would be shogun could affordthat kind offear

Panel four

Tatsuo faces off against a horde of samurai warriors, some of whom carry the Yuu flag.

7. Caption: So Ashikaga sent Tatsuo off on a mission into the mountains to

kill thieves.

Battle scenes. Mateus will keep the worst of it implied or obscured, no doubt!

Panel one

Tatsuo jumps towards the samurai, sword drawn, ready to fight.

1. Caption: For any ordinaryman, the story would end here.

Panel two

Tatsuo unleashes a violent strike that takes out several of the opposing warriors.

2. Caption: But Takeshi Tatsuo was not an ordinary man. He surprised his

attackers and flew into battle like a man possessed.

Panel three

Using two swords, Tatsuo cuts through several more men, but he is taking some hits as

well.

Panel four

Pull back to see the battlefield. Dead men litter the ground and Tatsuo is more on the

defensive here, caught in kind of a backward walk.

3. Caption: He showed the men sent to kill him just how deservedhis

reputation trulywas.

4. Caption: But though it was a battle worthy of the manystories written

about it
