From Baby Cart to New Lone Wolf and CubBy R. P. GlassEven though I had not expected it to happen, I have been waiting for New Lone Wolf and Cub a long time. I had already been a huge fan of author Kazuo Koike and artist Goseki Kojima’s “Baby Cart” samurai saga for decades. I had enjoyed the samurai cinema of Akira Kurosawa and others since college in the ‘60’s, but the screenwriter Koike’s Baby Cart series during the ‘70’s were something different. They featured Ogami Itto, a ronin assassin, pushing his son Daigoro through feudal Japan in baby cart with both his blade and his son for hire as death stalks them every second. Ogami Itto is framed man (marked for death by the shogun) who wants to clear his name and save his son. Besides learning about life and death through Daigoro’s eyes as Ogami Itto cuts a swath through the Yagyu ninja clan which had framed him, the six Baby Cart films introduced me to slasher samurai cinema. Limbs flew, blood splashed, and skulls were bisected with gusto [tastefully] while young Daigoro stoically learned the disciple of Bushido. Ogami Itto battles through overwhelming odds many times in each film. I tried to see as much of the series as I could. It wasn’t until AnimEigo brought out a DVD boxed set of the series in 2003 that I could be sure that I’d seen all of the Baby Cart films in their proper order. Even so I felt I did not know the whole story. While back in downtown LA for jury duty in the early ‘80’s I discovered the entire Action Comics 14 volume collection of Lone Wolf and Cub in a Japanese book store. I still cannot read Japanese, but I could follow the story like watching the films without subtitles and I had the complete story arc. Between 2000 and 2002, Dark Horse finally published an English translation of the entire Lone Wolf and Cub saga in 28 volumes. Since artist Goseki Kojima had passed and the series had a “happy Japanese ending” [almost everyone dies], I thought that was the end. Imagine my pleasant surprise to discover this year that there has been a new series of Lone Wolf and Cub in translation since last year on . There are 5 volumes out already out with volume 6 due in September, volume 7 due in December, and volume 8 coming out March 2016. The size of this new series is between the larger Action Comics run in Japanese and the Dark Horse “Big Little Book” run in translation. Kazuo Koike, like the previous manga and the movies , is still the creative mind expanding the life of Daigoro beyond his father’s death. Hideki Mori is the new artist who continues the saga drawing on the spiritual guidance of Goseki Kojima’s art on the original series. In fact, Koike shares creative credit equally with both Mori and Kojima on this new series. This time the translation does not flip the artwork so it is read right-to-left, back-to-front like its publication in Japan. Does the story live up to the original? Daigoro’s new guardian is Togo Shigekata, a master of Jigen-ryu style from the Satsuma clan, who carries a dotanuki sword as did Ogami Itto until his death. He meets Daigoro standing over the bodies of his father and Retsudo Yagyu, aids the boy in cremating the bodies which both the pro-shogun and anti-shogun factions do not dare do without starting a civil war, and takes him under his wing. The Shogun’s forces wants to dissolve the Satsuma clan and take over its wealth. Keeping Daigoro and himself alive while wanting to save the Satsuma clan keeps Togo Shigekata busy as the reader finds the tale a compulsive page turner. The twists, the turns, and the precipitated blood baths add up as Togo earns Daigoro’s trust and begins to intensively train the child in swordsmanship. One of the things I learned when reading the Dark Horse translation of the original series over two years is that one volume is not enough. I’ve started the new series by getting the first four volumes – about a third of the series. Below is the last volume of the original Dark Horse edition and the first Dark Horse edition of the new series. Under the covers are the last two bw pages of the first saga and the first two bw pages of the new series [reading right to left] so that you can see that, for Daigoro, no time has passed. YES! Koike’s narrative powers remain as strong as ever. Mori’s detailed art compliment’s the detailed research of the Edo period in Koike’s scripts. Some of Togo’s Satsuma dialect may be hard to follow at first so make good use of the footnotes and glossary at the back of the books to ease into it. You won’t believe the suffering both good guys and bad put themselves through to satisfy the needs of honor or greed.Shin Kozure Ookami’s run of 11 volumes is complete from Shogakukan in Japan which means New Lone Wolf and Cub should be complete from Dark Horse in America by the end of 2016. I’m in it for the long haul. Won’t you join me?0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

  • Manga and the Graphic Novel, According to a List of Key Discursive Characteristics
    The Influence of Manga on the Graphic Novel Simon Grennan There is a noticeable, though imperfect, historic parallel between the increase in the readership of Anglophone manga since the early 1990s and the maturation of concepts of the graphic novel, as an “Anglophone” comics genre, since the 1980s. According to a number of approaches, this historic parallel offers opportunities to scrutinize relationships between the development of the two genres (Couch 2010, Hatfield 2005).In particular, this parallel offers the opportunity to historicize descriptions of the complex ways in which these emerging relationships revised diverse practices of visioning, producing and reading comics, in order either to entrench or transform specific markets and cultures, precipitating new types of product and creating new types of reading experience. This chapter will summarize distinctions between the traditions of manga and the graphic novel, according to a list of key discursive characteristics. It will focus on a number of case studies that exemplify some foundational activities for the genre of the graphic novel beween1980 and 2000. According to Laurence Venuti’s descriptions of “foreignization” and “domestication,” it will discuss ways in which manga practices have been adopted and transformed by Anglophone markets and readers, relative to the maturation of the graphic novel. Specifically, the chapter will consider foreignization strategies in Miller’s Ronin, Anglophone translations of Koike and Kojima’s Kozure Ōkami (Lone Wolf and Cub), Nakazawa’s Hadoshi no Gen (Barefoot Gen) and in Spiegelman’s Maus, touching upon the significance of experiences of Anglophone anime for the adoption of manga practices by the graphic novel in the same period.

  • 1 Lone Wolf and Cub Baby Cart to Hades
    LONE WOLF AND CUB BABY CART TO HADES See the Lone Wolf & Cub: Sword of Vengeance Liner Notes (also available online at http://www.animeigo.com/samliner/lwc.t) for general details on Tokugawa-era Japan. Trivia: The Lone Wolf & Cub movies are based on the original manga (Story by Koike Kazuo, Illustrations by Kojima Goseki), a 142-episode epic, which ran in “Manga Action” between September 10, 1970, and April 1st, 1976. Repackaged and re-issued in 28 volumes (over 8400 pages), it is still among the most popular of its kind. Igamono, Shinobi, and Ninja: These words are often used almost interchangeably. Iga (far southwest of Edo, now a part of Mie prefecture), one of many provinces that was not a part of the scattered Shogunate domains, and thus not under the Shogunate control, also was home to many spies, Ninja and gangs that regularly infiltrated the Shogunate domains on behalf of various causes. So many of these spies, etc., were from Iga that the words “Igamono” (Iga- person) and “Igashuu” (Iga-people) eventually became synonymous with such infiltrators regardless of their true origins. The kanji character used in the verb “shinobu” (to snake, stealth about, or hide) is the source for “shinobi” or “shinobi no mono” which literally means someone who engages in stealthy acts. The two kanji used in “shinobi no mono,” when joined together as one word, is read “ninja,” which is an equivalent term that's more commonly known throughout the world. Unless it is clear that a reference to “Igamono” is actually a reference to someone from Iga, we translate this term as “Ninja.” For the other two terms, we typically use the term that is spoken unless it would be confusing.

These images of the Samurai are most often based on popular (mediated) productions like the Japanese period film (Jidai Geki) and, most recently, Samurai videogames. It is this last and newest of these mediated productions, the videogame, which will be the main subject of this Thesis. I will start by describing videogames that incorporate these warriors, then I will try to determine if film has had any influence on this representation. From the influence of film I will move on to other contemporary media: the novel, Animé films and Manga comics. It is my goal to determine in what manner all these forms of contemporary media have influenced the representation of the Samurai in videogames. I will use a theory by Desser, which he calls —Mythification of history“. Desser claims in his book, —The Samurai films of Akira Kurosawa“, that the Japanese film has a tendency to elevate certain historical periods, figures, facts and legends into mythic proportions.
