It’s been tens of pages (and therefore many weeks) since we’ve had a proper fight scene, so I hope you’re ready for the last, climactic battle of this volume.
Six pages remain!
As you might expect, the full page contains blood and violence. Find it below:
Last Watch Before Dawn is also running on Patreon.

A six-panel, mostly black-and-white comic page.
Panel 1: Kazu returns the shamisen to his back, one hand on the strap and the other on the table in front of him (out of frame) as he gets to his feet. He smiles again, but he looks nervous.
Kazu: Lovely to meet you. Time to go.
Panel 2: Having recovered his wits, the Takazaki samurai stalks across the teahouse, his sword in one hand and the other rubbing at his face. In the background, Kazu takes the waitress by the hand and pulls her to her feet.
Panel 3: By the front door, Ichiro has drawn his sword and stepped in front of Resunotek. He looks grimly determined; she looks surprised and afraid.
Panel 4: A close-up of the Takazaki samurai’s face. He scowls.
Takazaki samurai 2: You wanna be first, kid?
Panel 5: From outside the teahouse, we see the shoji door lit from within. Ichiro’s silhouette stands on the other side, sword held aloft in one hand. Resunotek crouches beside him, arms over her head. A wet splatter stains the paper by the arc of Ichiro’s blade.
Panel 6: The Takazaki samurai reels, his arm severed above the elbow. Blood, rendered in red, spurts from the stump and splatters on his clothing. He looks at the injury with horror. The background is filled in black with a white outline around the man.
yeah Ichiro doesnt waste time with shit talk. If it’s going to come to blows he knows to just start throwing blows, and try to make them fight enders from jump.

Arguably, he should have turned around and left before anyone came between him and the door, but he is not the sort of person who would do that
