King of Wolves (Ou Rou 王狼 literally, Wolf King) is a short historical/sci-fi manga drawn by Kentaro Miura and scripted by Buronson, of Fist of the North Star fame. The manga ran from March to May 1989 in the seinen magazine Animal House.1999, on the Silk Road, in China: historian and Kendo enthusiast Iba has vanished without a trace, while exploring the region. His girlfriend, Kyoko, tries to search the desert for a sign of his presence, but suddely, a funnel of black clouds appear above her, and she's sucked inside it, finding herself in Mongolia, 1212 A.D. There, Iba is forced to fight as a slave for the Mongol army, but Kyoko's arrival causes a series of events which end with the death of his superior and jailer. This death leads to the encounter with the leader of the Mongols, Genghis Khan... who's revealed to be none other than the historical samurai Minamoto-no-Yoshitsune, who, along with his trusted Benkei, plans to forge an empire of Japanese rule in Asia. Confronted with this events, Iba must find a way to return to his age while, at the same time, make sure that History follows its rightful course, but things are nebulous and less predictable than expected for our heroes, especially when Iba finds himself forced to assume the mantle of Genghis Khan...King of Wolves was the first main work by Miura upon receiving his doctorate degree, as well as his first cooperation with Buronson. A sequel manga, Ou Rou Den (Legend of the Wolf King) would follow suit in 1990, the following year.Most spoilers will be unmarked, read at your own risk! | |

Katanas Are Just Better: Played very straight, as Iba and his skills with Kendo paired with a massive katana allows him to defeat pretty much everyone he runs across. The same goes for Yoshitsune and later Kublai Khan. | |

Benkei fights with a large Naginata. Despite being a polearm, he can still use it in one hand without problems. An enemy commander fought by Iba is armed with a massive Dadao whose blade is as broad as Iba's body. Inverted with Wan: he's a huge man whose weapon of choice is a compararively small trident. | |

Cool Helmet | |
| King of Wolves (Manga) / int_affbcbb | comment |
Cool Helmet: All over the place: Commander Yan, for all his faults, has a cool helm with a crest shaped like a clutching claw. Yoshitsune as Genghis Khan wears an awesome-looking helmet ornated with the head of a dragon. Kublai Khan wears a samuraiesque helmet with a metal crest and a tuff of white hair. | |

Abusive Parents: Invoked trope by Iba, who decides to be harsh and train his artistically-inclined son so that he'll be ready to become Kublai Khan. | |

Double Weapon | |
| King of Wolves (Manga) / int_b8236bb2 | comment |
Double Weapon: Yan wields a rather creative one as his weapon: it's a large, hexagonal pole with a set of flail heads on one end and large bifurcated spearhead with a serrated blade on the other end. | |

I Have You Now, My Pretty: When Kyoko catches Yan's attention, he has her caught and taken to his apartments, where he goes as far as ripping her shirt. He relents when she threatens to bite her own tongue off if he touches her. | |

| King of Wolves (Manga) / int_c7f294da | comment |
Large and in Charge: If someone's in command of something, expect it to be at least a head taller than his subjects. Kublai Khan averts this, being Young and in Charge. | |

An Arm and a Leg: This version of Benkei got out of the siege at the cost of his left arm. This doesn't stop him from being a top threat in combat. | |
