(122) "Perhaps in Death" focuses on Okan as she obeys Retsudo Yagyu's orders and uses the Wolf Fire to call forth the grass to Edo to aid their master. Meanwhile, Abe-No-Kaii watches over Retsudo while trying to come up with a new poison plot and Ogami Itto learns that his foe may be delayed in returning to the place where their two swords are standing in the ground.
(123) "Tales of the Grass: Oyamada Shume" is the first of a trilogy of stories on how the grass, members of the Yagyu clan hidding in secret by living as ordinary folk throughout Japan, respond to the call, of the Wolf Fire. Not only must they pass along the signal, they are also required to fake their deaths.
(124) "Tales of the Grass: Nakodera Busho" finds the call of the Wolf Fire coming next to a priest while ringing his temple bell.
(125) "Tales of the Grass: A Day Like Any Other" is the final story of this trio about the grass being called to Edo, and one of the most upsetting tales in the Lone Wolf & Cub saga. I have been reading one episode an evening before going to sleep, and it was difficult to sleep after this one.
(126) "Breakfast, Lunch, Snack, and Brunch" finds Abe-No-Kaii deciding to use Retsudo Yagyu's pride against him since the old man refuses to eat or drink anything set before him by the servants of the master poisoner. But Kaii's spies also report that Retsudo is just sitting there, not even lying down to sleep. The story continues the developing effort to make Retsudo a nobler figure, both in contrast to Kaii and even in comparison to Ogami Itto.
(127) "By His Own Hand" finally returns us to Ogami Itto and Daigoro, who are being watched by the Shogun's bugyo. In a shack by the shore the young boy practices repeatedly with a long stick, suddenly rushing at his father and whacking him. Those watching have figured out the meaning of the two swords stuck in the ground and the hundred mounds each covered with a stone, but they cannot understand the lesson that is being taught by father to son.
I sure hope the final volume of Lone Wolf & Cub is published soon (it has already been delayed almost a month) so that I do not have a gap in my reading experience, but certainly I could appreciate the lesson if that turns out to be the case. I have not bothered to find out the original schedule these comics were published, but assuming a montly schedule this volume would mark ten years worth of stories and I would be hard pressed to name another comic book that maintained this high of a standard for so long a period of time. When you step back and look at the epic in its totality you can appreciate the way Koike and Kojima are putting the pieces into place, slowly but surely.
Having followed the saga of Ogami Itto and his son Diagoro since book #1, I must say the stories keep getting better and better. While there is less of the violent physical encounters that characterized Itto's earlier adventures, the tales depicted in the book are no less gripping. I particularly liked the focus on the other major character of the series, Itto's nemesis Yagyu Retsudo. One could almost admire the man for his tenacity, honour, and Bushido spirit, despite his ruthlessness.

"Perhaps in Death"
Retsudo ist noch im Schloss von Edo gefangen, und verweigert sich allen Versuchen Abes, ihn mit Essen und Trinken in Versuchung zu führen. Retsudo weiß, was Abe nicht weiß: Der Ruf nach Retsudos Shinobi ist bereits erklungen.
"Tales of the Grass: Oyamada Shume"
Die Shinobi sind gerufen, und müssen harte Mittel ergreifen, um unerkannt untertauchen zu können - dabei gibt es Opfer, die normale Menschen nicht bringen würden.
"Tales of the Grass: Nakodera Busho"
Sogar in einem Kloster sind die Shinobi untergetaucht. Doch wenn das Wolfsfeuer sie ruft, geben sie ihr altes Leben auf, und folgen dem Ruf ihrer Pflicht.
"Tales of the Grass: A Day Like Any Other"
Familienbande sind ein Problem für die Shinobi. Als Tarnung unerlässlich, doch wenn die Pflicht ruft, müssen sie mit diesem alten Leben abschließen. So grausam es sein mag, und unverständlich für den Leser: Es darf niemand übrigbleiben, der den Shinobi verraten oder kompromittieren könnte, sogar wenn es die eigenen Kinder sind.
"Breakfast, Lunch, Snack, and Brunch"
Ein interessanter Plan, den Abe verfolgt: den ausgehungerten Wolf mit unablässigem Lärm und verführerischen Speisen dazu zu bringen, seine Meditationshaltung aufzugeben und von den vergifteten Speisen zu kosten. Doch wiedereinmal erkennt Abe nicht, dass Retsudo aus anderem Holz geschnitzt ist als normale Menschen.
"By His Own Hand"
Das Halten eines Schwerts entspricht dem Halten von Macht und Verantwortung. Diese Lektion muss Daigoro lernen, und die Beobachter, die Itto und seinen Sohn heimlich bespähen, sind verblüfft, auf welche Weise der Vater dies seinen Sohn lehrt.
