Lone Wolf and Cub (Kozure ÅŒkami) is an iconic manga created by Kazuo Koike and Goseki Kojima, describing the adventures of Ogami IttÅ�, former executioner for the Shogun, and his son DaigorÅ�. IttÅ�, after being framed for treason against the Shogunate by the YagyÅ« clan, faced a choice between death and dishonor. Instead, IttÅ� Took A Third Option: abandon bushidÅ� to follow "Meifumado" - roughly, either "the way of the demon" or "the road to hell". He would become a Rōnin assassin, Walking the Earth while planning his vengeance. And his son DaigorÅ�, due to a Secret Test of Character from his father, now follows the same bloody road.The original manga was published from 1970 to 1976. The series has been adapted into several movies and two live-action TV series in Japan. An English-dubbed Re-Cut comprising the first two movies was released in 1980 as Shogun Assassin. AnimEigo has released both subtitled and dubbed Vanilla Edition versions of the films and The Criterion Collection has put out a Limited Special Collector's Ultimate Edition subtitled box set of the films. A sequel called Shin Kozure ÅŒkami, written by Koike with Hideki Mori doing the art (since Goseki Kojima died in 2000), ran for eleven volumes in Japan; Dark Horse Comics began publishing the English localization in 2014, under the title of New Lone Wolf and Cub.There is also a spinoff series, Samurai Executioner, focusing on Yamada Asaemon, the Shogun's sword-tester. There is also a Video Game adaptation, Kozure ÅŒkami, an Arcade Game released by Nichibutsu in 1987.Lone Wolf is the Ur-Example and Trope Maker for the Badass and Child Duo and Badass and Baby tropes.Lone Wolf also inspired the American comic Road to Perdition, which changed the setting to 1930s Illinois and aged up the son to a pre-teen. Road to Perdition was later made into a movie starring Tom Hanks.Unrelated to the famous Lone Wolf Gamebook series by Joe Dever. | |

Retired Badass | |
| Lone Wolf and Cub (Manga) / int_112daba0 | comment |
Taken to its extreme towards the end of the series, when Retsudo running out of troops call in a group of out-of-service, veteran ninja to take on Itt�. After having studied their prey, the ninja deduce that they can kill Itt� but will need to use a strategy which includes killing Daigoro as well. Noting how Itt� and Daigoro are the appropriate age of the children and grandchildren they themselves could have had, they lament on their life of absolute servitude and decide to commit suicide rather than harm a child. | |

Secret Test | |
| Lone Wolf and Cub (Manga) / int_1606a707 | comment |
Secret Test: Before Itt� embarks on the path to "Meifumado" he offers an infant Daigoro the choice between a sword and a ball. Daigoro chooses the sword, which is why Itt� takes him along on the assassin's road. Had Daigoro chosen the ball, Itt� would have killed him. | |

Little Miss Badass | |
| Lone Wolf and Cub (Manga) / int_166e33f3 | comment |
Little Miss Badass: Daigoro border-lines between being a male example of this trope and a Tyke Bomb . At the age of four he is already resourceful enough to manage without his father or other adults for days on end, capable of one-punching a kid twice his size and handle weapons (meagerly, but still...). He WILL engage groups of adults in combat despite overwhelming odds, and has actually killed people in the confusion of combat when they tried going after him. | |

Sheath Strike | |
| Lone Wolf and Cub (Manga) / int_18336e5c | comment |
Sheath Strike: Itt� is fond of using his scabbard against certain opponents, as they don't expect it at all. Typically it's used as a distraction; there are several times when backstabbing officials (or people who want to test Itt� and see if he's as good as they say) are talking to Itt� in a room with soldiers hidden behind the paper wall panels, ready to strike. Itt� gets around it by chucking his scabbard through the wall to get a non-lethal first strike and take the official hostage to de-escalate the situation (or kill them if he's been hired to do so.) | |

You Are Already Dead | |
| Lone Wolf and Cub (Manga) / int_18cb78a2 | comment |
You Are Already Dead: Hired to kill a holy man, Itt� slashes him down the center. Said holy man compliments him for a good ten seconds before falling into two halves. Itt� killed him this way because he couldn't bring himself to kill the man in a way that would cause pain. The priest himself compliments Itt� on acheiving such perfection that he could kill a holy man. This perfection came about because the priest advised him to do so. In a way, the priest gave the assassin the way to kill him. Itt� was prepared to commit seppuku until the priest talked him out of it. | |

End of an Age | |
| Lone Wolf and Cub (Manga) / int_1bc2e445 | comment |
End of an Age: The story is set right as Japan's feudal era started breaking down. The rising merchant class and the ever-growing masses of unemployed samurai are minor recurring themes in the story. Frank Miller, who did some of the American cover art for Dark Horse, described the story as "a man, a boy, a country, and their journey into Hell." | |

Papa Wolf | |
| Lone Wolf and Cub (Manga) / int_1dfd19f9 | comment |
Papa Wolf: AND HOW! Interestingly, that's only on the rare occasion when Daigoro is in serious danger. Itt� has no problem with putting his infant son in jeopardy to gain an advantage or set up a trap, and actually views him more as a partner than a boy needing protection. However, when Daigoro is in danger unrelated to their adventure, Itt� tends to freak out and do crazy stunts to save him; culminating in rowing out to sea in the middle of a major storm because Daigoro was sick and wouldn't eat anything but oranges. | |

Ãœbermensch | |
| Lone Wolf and Cub (Manga) / int_1e6dfea1 | comment |
Übermensch: Itto, at the same time, demonstrates admirable levels of compassion and nobility as well as shocking levels of amorality and ruthlessness. As an assassin, he has completely abandoned the notions of bushido or honor and uses whatever underhanded trick or tactic he can think of (including using his own son in dangerous traps) plying his skills to anyone to raise money for his true goal––revenge on Retsudo and the Yagyu. However, he's also willing to do tasks and endure indignities that pretty much any other samurai would rather kill themselves over than be subjected to. He’s willing to do the work of peasants, and even accepts a prospective prostitute’s punishment in her place to win her the right to go free. He never once lords his status over the commoners and is quick to recognize and praise samurai-like qualities in people he meets, from all walks of life. Itto’s complete commitment to fulfilling his quest is such that it earns him a great deal of respect from many of the people around him, despite his dishonorable actions. | |

Inadequate Inheritor | |
| Lone Wolf and Cub (Manga) / int_2a6bf668 | comment |
Inadequate Inheritor: Daigaku, the lord of Yonezawa han in Wife of the Heart. His father is described as having been a good ruler who supported the Hayase family's project of building a bridge over the dangerous Omono River, thereby vastly decreasing accidents on the river as well as increasing the han's prosperity. By contrast, Lord Daigaku is nothing but a sadistic, cowardly thug who has no interest whatsoever in bridges and who beat and permanently crippled his capable subordinate Hayase simply because the latter stood up for Chiyo the ferrygirl, who had accidentally spilled water on Daigaku's robes. Daigaku's failings were arguably the reason why Itt� was eventually hired to assassinate him. | |

He Who Fights Monsters | |
| Lone Wolf and Cub (Manga) / int_2c1f1138 | comment |
He Who Fights Monsters: Itt�'s blind quest for vengeance makes him suitable for this trope. Considering that he's willingly endangering his only child and is more concerned with avenging his tainted name than his murdered wife, he may qualify as a Villain Protagonist. This is especially true whenever he takes on an assignment to kill morally neutral or even good and upstanding people as part of his quest, which happens fairly often and usually gets no more reaction from him than cutting down the cruel, or ambitious, or horribly criminal. Near the end of the series he seems to get increasingly tired of killing (sometimes going so far as to shed Manly Tears after cutting down a few dozen people), but by then he's too close to completing his revenge to stop. | |

My Master, Right or Wrong: A key part of the entire culture of this era; obedience and service to one's lord is expected even when the lord is undeserving or outright idiotic. Many of the situations Ogami Itt� encounters involve people caught between what's right and what's expected. | |

Real Men Can Cook: Both Itt� and Retsudo know their way around a kitchen, it turns out. When Abe-no-Kaii mocks them for it, they give quite a sensible retort: If you're in the middle of a war and, say, all your servants die in battle, it's either shift for yourself or starve. | |

Zerg Rush | |
| Lone Wolf and Cub (Manga) / int_41dd77d | comment |
Zerg Rush: A Yagyu speciality. Itto, at one point, even describes the style of the Ura Yagyu as “The sword of the many against the few.� In particular, Yagyu assassins often work in teams, using coordinated tactics and sacrificial ploys to neutralize opponents before killing them. However, Retsudo also makes use of the classic version of this trope on several occasions throughout the manga, straight up throwing entire armies’-worth of his subordinates at Itto and Daigoro in an effort to kill them. | |

Annoying Arrows | |
| Lone Wolf and Cub (Manga) / int_43f2f606 | comment |
Annoying Arrows: While arrows are sometimes shown as being effective (particularly when Itt� stabs people with them), they're more often shown as being minor inconveniences at worst. In the chapter where Itt� gets stuck in Kyushu for a while, he agrees to fight a duel with an archer, and after he mortally wounds the archer he allows the archer to shoot him once as a courtesy. The resultant wound causes him no trouble at all when he has to fight later. | |

| Lone Wolf and Cub (Manga) / int_454e6cf5 | comment |
Hypnotic Eyes: Downplayed and played for drama. When they talk shop, Itt� and O-Yuki come to the conclusion that her nemesis is not a swordsman at all but a skilled hypnotist, whose various tricks are all used to draw attention to his eyes, allowing him to dominate his opponents' will. When they next clash, and he attempts to use the same trick on her again, O-Yuki is able to draw his attention by disrobing and drawing his attention to her tattoos, which breaks his focus and causes him to look away, opening him up for her revenge. | |

Combat Pragmatist | |
| Lone Wolf and Cub (Manga) / int_49fb5ccb | comment |
Combat Pragmatist: Itt� works the holy hell out of this trope; he wins several fights, especially early on, just by doing things like throwing his sword; for a bushi that would normally be unthinkable, but Itt� threw away those ideals when he started down the assassin's road. Retsudo does pretty well with it, too. More to the point, Itt�'s abandonment of Bushido does not stop him from exploiting Bushido by preying upon his enemies' adherence to it. He won't hesitate to call out an opponent who is behaving dishonorably, usually because forcing the enemy to abide by honorable conduct puts Itt� in a more advantageous position in a given situation. | |

Honey Trap: Used by a samurai widow in The Frozen Crane. She lures her husband's killer into an empty farmhouse by faking an illness. Once inside, she proceeds to seduce him. As he's having his way with her, her brother-in-law strikes with his sword from the pile of hay he was hiding in and stabs him in the back. It fails to kill him instantly, however, and he manages to flee outside where he is chased down and finished off by both the widow and her brother-in-law, just as Itt� and Daigoro arrive at the scene. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness: A few examples. Itt� is much chattier and more sarcastic in the first book than in following ones, where he tends to be more taciturn and stoic. The kusa, or 'grass', ninja are identified as being of the Kurokuwa clan for the first eight books. They are later stated to be Yagyu ninja, not Kurokuwa. | |

Bare-Handed Blade Block | |
| Lone Wolf and Cub (Manga) / int_5c91635a | comment |
Barehanded Blade Block: Both subverted and played straight. The Yagyu Shirahadori revolves around not merely catching the blade with your hands, but also trapping it with your body, sacrificing your life to immobilize the opponent so that your comrade can finish him off. However, masters like Retsudo and Itt� can pull off the straight version of this trope. In fact, the final long stretch of Retsudo and Itt�'s last duel is a series of these as they block and then steal one sword back and forth from each other, only to block it in turn when the other one manages to snatch it. | |

Against the Setting Sun: Used in one case to try and blind Itt� during a duel, though Genre Savvy note More like battlefield savvy. Or duel savvy. Or pretty much anything warfare-related savvy. Itt� puts a reflective ornament on Daigor�'s head to blind the enemy (Retsud�'s second son) and wins. | |

Forgot About His Powers | |
| Lone Wolf and Cub (Manga) / int_650a309b | comment |
Forgot About His Powers: During a mission to kill a revered Buddhist priest, Itt� develops the ability to suppress his negative energy output. This prevents anyone who doesn't also have that skill (which is basically everyone) from being able to attack him. He uses this power in that chapter to scare off a bunch of peasants who try to kill him, but decides not to use it against actual warriors. However, even though Itt� has to deal with civilian mobs in later books (once the Yagyu put a gigantic bounty on his head), he seemingly forgets about this power and has to go to great lengths to avoid civilian attackers without getting into fights. | |

He Knows Too Much: Many of the people who hire Itt� subsequently try to kill him after the assassination is completed in order to either silence him (since Itt�'s policy is to get the entire story behind the assassination before carrying it out), or to avoid paying him. It often overlaps with You Have Outlived Your Usefulness. It never works. Some employers are smart enough to avert this, such as the man who employed Itt� in the very first chapter of the series. | |

Missing Mom | |
| Lone Wolf and Cub (Manga) / int_66dfe36a | comment |
Missing Mom: Daigoro's mother has been killed before the start of the events. He never had any chance to spend time with female role-models; he does seem surprisingly well-adjusted, for the most part, with the only scary bit being the fact that he's picked up his daddy's Death Glare, a specific type of bone-chilling gaze that several samurai recognize as belonging to someone who has witnessed a lot of killing. | |

Unconscious Objector: In the manga, Itt� dies standing up while in the middle of wrestling with Retsudo for a sword in the midst of their Duel to the Death. It gradually dawns on Retsudo that this has happened, so he lets go of the sword and steps out of sword range. After a number of beat panels, Itt� finally collapses. | |

Noble Demon | |
| Lone Wolf and Cub (Manga) / int_7360a6b6 | comment |
A running theme in the novels is the fact that Daigoro keeps Itt� from going too far over the edge when it comes to killing and becoming an outright Noble Demon; although with all the blood that's spilled, it makes one wonder what would happen if Daigoro wasn't there. To be fair, Itt� mostly kills the people he's paid to kill, or those who try to kill him first. Assuming Daigoro wasn't there, he would most likely go berserk and get killed rather quickly. | |

Quirky Miniboss Squad | |
| Lone Wolf and Cub (Manga) / int_889cff96 | comment |
Quirky Miniboss Squad: After crossing a narrow walkway over a mountain to get to a village where he was hired for a job, Itt� has to fight a series of women trained to kill, the only people left in the village. He wins handily, and leaves. Then the bridge collapses out from under him. Turns out the actual bad guy who had hired him let him kill the women as part of his Batman Gambit just so he could sabotage the bridge, which would cover his tracks by killing Itt�. Our heroes only narrowly survive. Another example occurs when several different bounty hunters meet each other and decide to attack Itt� as a group, knowing that any one of them trying it by themselves was a recipe for a horrible death. They're a motley group, even including an old woman who swallows and spits needles, but unfortunately the group tactic fails to avert the horrible death aspect of the operation. | |

Humiliation Conga | |
| Lone Wolf and Cub (Manga) / int_890d4ef2 | comment |
Humiliation Conga: Retsudo's schemes may have destroyed the Ogami clan, but Itt� manages to get some serious payback. Over the course of the series, he kills every single one of Retsudo's children, even Retsudo's illegitimate son and daughter, slaughters all of the Kurokuwa ninja clan and, for a time at least, completely destroys the Shogun's faith in Retsudo to the point that Retsudo is publicly snubbed and beaten with a wooden tray by the Shogun himself at a very important ceremony (so important, in fact, that had it been anyone but Retsudo, the result would have been instant seppuku). Even after that, Itt� kills all of the remaining Yagyu forces and finishes by slaughtering every last one of the Kusa ninja that the Yagyu had spent generations planting into domains throughout the country. By the end of the story though, Retsudo has managed to win back the Shogun's trust and respect and he technically wins his duel with Itt�. If he hadn't allowed Daigoro to run him through with his spear, it would have ended in a victory (albeit a very Pyrrhic one) for Retsudo. | |

| Lone Wolf and Cub (Manga) / int_9e943076 | comment |
One-Man Army: Itt�. Made quite obvious when opposing samurai consider it a fair fight to challenge him to a duel... using several units of mounted cavalry against Itt� on foot. Retsudo eventually gives up trying to kill Itt� sneakily, and sends orders to every Han and Daikan to arrest or kill him on sight. Itt� single-handedly crushes two Han and three Shogunate territories, including seventy armored warriors of Sanuki Han, whose Daimyo Masatsune (a one-time student of Suio-Ryu under Itt�) brings army units of spearmen and cavalry to prevent Itt� from entering his Han. Even more so in the final book where Retsudo actually needs to raise a whole army, complete with suicide bombers to soften up Itt� enough to kill him (despite Itt� already being critically wounded from a previous encounter). Itt� still wipes out all of Retsudo's elite mooks before falling. | |

Wouldn't Hurt a Child | |
| Lone Wolf and Cub (Manga) / int_a2b998a0 | comment |
Wouldn't Hurt a Child: Played straight and subverted. Most of the villains casually commit atrocious acts of torture, mass murder and rape. Either joyfully or by sworn duty. However, nearly all of them draw their line at harming children. For this reason, villains are severely shocked upon realizing that Itt� puts his own son in harms way to get a tactical advantage in a fight and commonly call him out on it. (Usually right before Itt� kills them.) Taken to its extreme towards the end of the series, when Retsudo running out of troops call in a group of out-of-service, veteran ninja to take on Itt�. After having studied their prey, the ninja deduce that they can kill Itt� but will need to use a strategy which includes killing Daigoro as well. Noting how Itt� and Daigoro are the appropriate age of the children and grandchildren they themselves could have had, they lament on their life of absolute servitude and decide to commit suicide rather than harm a child. From both Itt� and Retsudo's point of view, Daigoro walks the path of Meifumado together with Itt�, making him an equally valid target. In fact, one of the items Itt� purchases with all his assassin fees is a compliment of grenades so Daigoro can participate in battle. His reasoning is that Daigoro, being four, would stand no chance against trained Yagyu warriors otherwise. Retsudo agrees and allows them. | |

| Lone Wolf and Cub (Manga) / int_acf33d00 | comment |
Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: There's one story where 'Decapitator' Yamada Asaemon is commissioned to kill Itt� while also fending off the Yagyu. After several Yagyu soldiers try to kill Asaemon and get butchered, Retsudo decides that he wants to use Itt� to take down Asaemon. Then, when Asaemon and Itt� meet, the two duelists agree to first cut up three stone Buddha statues each before fighting each other. Asaemon's sword breaks on the third Buddha and Itt� kills him, at which point he discovers the Yagyu had predicted what would happen and put an iron collar on Asaemon's third Buddha statue (which was what broke Asaemon's sword). Itt� notes that if the Yagyu hadn't done that, Asaemon may well have won. Given what happens later in the series, that would probably have been a better outcome for the Yagyu. | |

Weaponized Car: Or at least as close as you could get for that time and age. Daigoro's babycart is a rolling armory of concealed knives, spears, spring-loaded blades, a multi-barreled rifle and steel plated bottom (which works quite well as a bulletproof shield). Oh, and it floats. The cart is profiled enough to nearly qualify as a third protagonist throughout the early series. | |

Frozen Face | |
| Lone Wolf and Cub (Manga) / int_bb2a84c2 | comment |
Frozen Face: one of the assassins sent after Itt� was a ninja trained to show no emotions at all. Because he shows no reaction to anything, he's incredibly stealthy, and uses it to menace Itt� more effectively than any assassin before him. | |

Seppuku | |
| Lone Wolf and Cub (Manga) / int_c78d3e08 | comment |
Seppuku: Itt�'s original job was technically to serve as a second (kaishakunin) for feudal lords ordered to commit seppuku by the Shogunate. The second's role is to provide relief from the agony of seppuku in the form of removing the subject's headnote almost: the cut was supposed to stop just short of severing the last shred of neck skin (Nearly Headless Nick would understand), thus saving the subject from the humiliation of being dismembered, a punishment reserved for commoner criminals in one stroke if the act of seppuku is performed properly, but in the case of a lord, most samurai would be forbidden from performing that act. Itt�'s role as an official designate of the Shogun meant that he took lives at the will of the Shogun. | |

Charles Atlas Superpower: Although LWAC does stay closer to reality than what you would casually expect, it still allows for some spectacular details. By default, studying martial arts will grant you a 6th sense (Battle Aura), make you fast enough to appear as a blur to Joe Normal, let you fight (and kill) in your sleep, and sturdy enough to flat out ignore the harsh elements of nature. Taken to even further levels in the case of ninja... or Itt�. | |

On the other hand, when someone who knows what they're talking about actually locks eyes with the kid, they note that he has the kind of gaze that is usually only seen on extremely experienced warriors who have seen a lifetime's worth of slaughter, and remark how creepy it is to see it in a child. | |

Torizo, a female yakuza boss, also shows herself to be capable in battle (though it doesn't save her). And then there's Retsud�'s poor daughter Sayaka. He teaches her a specific technique to defeat Itt�, and we see her use it to kill multiple ninja in training. It's implied she would have won her duel with Itt� had he not used his son as a human shield. | |

Contrived Coincidence | |
| Lone Wolf and Cub (Manga) / int_dc579c91 | comment |
Contrived Coincidence: Sort of a meta-example: According to The Other Wiki , the author came up with the name Suio-Ryu because it sounded romantic, not knowing that a sword fighting school of the same name really existed. This also results in a mild case of artistic license since the way Suio-Ryu is depicted in the manga is pretty far from what it really is like. | |

Historical Villain Upgrade | |
| Lone Wolf and Cub (Manga) / int_e16217f8 | comment |
Historical Villain Upgrade: The Yagyu clan are traditionally portrayed in both history and folklore as noble and brave and champions of the common people. On the other hand, they also had the reputation of founding one of the greatest swordfighting schools in Japan, were believed to have ties to ninja (if not ninja themselves), and were very close allies and servants of the ruling Tokugawa shoguns, so few other organizations in bakufu-era Japan would have been as big as a threat to Ogami Itt�. | |

| Lone Wolf and Cub (Manga) / int_e3b0cd87 | comment |
Morality Pet: A running theme in the novels is the fact that Daigoro keeps Itt� from going too far over the edge when it comes to killing and becoming an outright Noble Demon; although with all the blood that's spilled, it makes one wonder what would happen if Daigoro wasn't there. To be fair, Itt� mostly kills the people he's paid to kill, or those who try to kill him first. Assuming Daigoro wasn't there, he would most likely go berserk and get killed rather quickly. Also, subverted in the last chapter. Daigoro kills the big bad! | |

Would Hit a Girl | |
| Lone Wolf and Cub (Manga) / int_f42f96fa | comment |
Would Hit a Girl: Played straight. The manga doesn't try to hide the fact that women of the era were viewed as inherently inferior to men. However, many named female characters break the mold of their station and when they do, prove to be just as heroic, villanous and/or dangerous as most men. Itt� is savvy and pragmatic enough to recognize this and respond accordingly. Not that he has any qualms about killing a defenseless woman for that matter... or defenseless man. In one episode, our heroes meet the widow of a samurai Itt� killed. Since it's her duty to avenge her husband, Itt� respectfully agrees to a duel with her. And kills her. | |
