This is probably one of my favorite pages in this chapter, because it's satisfying. The swordsman has finally been able to strike back at someone who has wronged him. He's finally back on his path towards completing his master's dying order.
I think it would be safe to say that this is the first page where our swordsman has finally started to act like a samurai.
From the Hagakure:
"Master Ittei said, 'If one were to say what it is to do good, in a single word it would be to endure suffering. Not enduring is bad without exception.'"
Chapter 5.14Lord Malukai, the mortal enemy to the swordsman and murderer of his family. He was originally designed to resemble a shogun, but I wanted to make him a little more flashy (and put him in something a little more comic-friendly).
He will also have a prequel story told about him, but I haven't written down all of the details on it yet - so it's a little ways off yet.
