Ronin is a comic book limited series published by DC Comics. The series was written and drawn by Frank Miller with water colors by Lynn Varley. The series publication ran between 1983 and 1984 with a total of six volumes.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The story begins with a samurai who is charged with defending his master, Ozaki. However, Ozaki is assassinated in the night by a demon in revenge for stealing the sword of the demon's master, Agat. Ozaki's spirit grants the now-ronin the sword, the only tool capable of slaying the demon lord it had been stolen from. The ronin then goes on a journey to slay the demon, who on his dying breath curses him to the same eternal prison as itself, within the sword.The story then cuts to a near-future dystopic New York City, a lawless wasteland. What is left of civilized New York lives inside a massive complex called Aquarius, which is owned by the ominous Aquarius Corporation and run by three people: Peter McKenna, a scientist who invented biocircuitry; Casey McKenna, the head of security who is also Peter's wife; and Mr. Taggart, the corporate head of Aquarius. The city is powered by Virgo, a sentient computer who is gaining more and more control over Aquarius. Finally, we are introduced to young Billy Chalis, an autistic man with no limbs who seems to have telekinetic powers. Unlocking the key to his powers may provide a brighter future for Aquarius and civilization as a whole, according to Peter and Virgo.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Meanwhile, by unknown means, the ancient Japanese sword is discovered, releasing Agat and the ronin. They continue their blood feud throughout Aquarius and across the wastelands of New York. Casey looks into the matter, eventually discovering the truth behind it all.The series takes many influences from Manga, and is stated to have been inspired partly by Lone Wolf and Cub. Ronin also holds the distinction of having been printed on Baxter paper stock similarly to Camelot 3000, as well as having no advertisements.Not to be confused with Ronin (1998). | |

The Reveal | |
| Ronin (1983) (Comic Book) / int_6b2b3b59 | comment |
The Reveal: Ronin, Agat, Ozaki, and the sword don't actually exist. It was all a part of the TV show Billy watched in his free time. Virgo used Billy's powers and mental state to make him turn his fantasy into a reality, essentially turning himself into a hero and creating his own villain using his powers and Virgo's biotech. That way, she could easily manipulate him into doing her bidding. This would eventually lead to the destruction of mankind and the emergence of biotechnology as the dominant lifeform. | |

Gainax Ending | |
| Ronin (1983) (Comic Book) / int_82accf22 | comment |
Gainax Ending: Virgo is destroyed, possibly damning the entire human race. Casey certainly has little to no protection in the harsh New York environment and then Ronin comes marching through the flames. Not only is the Ronin identity supposed to be dead but Billy's fate certainly seemed sealed as well since he committed seppuku and was left in an exploding building. Not only that, with Virgo gone, who is controlling him? His blank stare at Casey doesn't make things seem any better. The end. | |

Show Within a Show: Or in this case, a show within a comic. Billy likes to watch TV a lot. | |

Fan Disservice | |
| Ronin (1983) (Comic Book) / int_c660bc15 | comment |
Fan Disservice: When Casey and her security team get blindsided in the sewers by the cannibals, they all get stripped naked. The sight of her being overpowered and manhandled by a bunch of warty flesh-eating troglodytes is in no way arousing. | |

Supporting Protagonist | |
| Ronin (1983) (Comic Book) / int_c960826 | comment |
Supporting Protagonist: One could easily argue that Casey fits this trope. Much of the action revolves around her. Billy too, considering he's little more than a background character until the revelation at the end that he was the main character the whole time. | |

No Name Given: Although the reader doesn't know he's actually Billy Challas until towards the end, the Ronin "character" is never given a name. | |

Decoy Protagonist: The story plays with it a bit as Billy seemingly dies towards the end and Casey is essentially the hero of the story anyway. | |

Translation Convention: Ronin and Ozaki speak English during the scenes in ancient Japan. Although since they are TV characters, the reader might just be reading the English-dubbed voices. | |
