And that's gentle folk is how you finish a series. Good lawd. 🙌

The end. It ended about the only way it could. The entire remnants of the Yagyu clan are pitted against the Lone Wolf to soften him up before the final battle with Restudo Yagyu. Also, the poisoner finally gets what he's had coming for a long time. The ending was a little abrupt but overall what a great series. Sorry to see it end, but there is a "New Lone Wolf and Cub" series I'll be checking out as well.
I can't recommend this series high enough. Any graphic novel fans and/or anyone who likes samurai stories or has any interest in feudal Japan. Entertaining and informative, there just aren't many (any?) graphic novels series out there like this one.

28 volumes and 12 omnibuses, what an incredible journey. Truly a masterpiece.
I bought all 12 omnibuses over 8 years ago. I began to read and I stopped at the 3rd omnibus.
I stopped because it was so good and I wanted to be in a place where I could savour each one and enjoy them thoroughly, and today 8 years later I finish the journey of the lone wolf. The journey for me and Itto.
Today is a leap year the 29th of February and 4 years ago today I took a good step to change my life in ways that most people could not comprehend and today in the name of the wolf I free myself from the shackles of compliance, they free myself from the war on nature, the war of man.
Aho!

Sublieme epiloog van de 'Lone Wolf & Cub'- saga uit de jaren 1970, nu verzameld in 12 omnibussen uitgegeven door Dark Horse. Na meer dan 8.500 pagina's meesterlijke stripkunst, na tientallen uren ongebreideld leesplezier, nagelbijtende spanning, actie en emoties zeg ik u met de hand op het hart: lees deze reeks, het is van het beste dat ik ooit gelezen heb!
Ōgami Ittō is mijn nieuw idool, Daigoro mijn nieuwe voorbeeld, bushidō mijn nieuwe religie.
Nu even afkicken...

The last volume. And I was happy to get to the end of this. I think the author lost the thread of the story and other than a large body count, it didn't seem to have a point in the end.
Great Reversals - Abe is clearly not a samurai. Really he's a bit of a worm. And Ogami Itto enters the city and says hello to Abe and Retsudo. A nice little vignette. This doesn't move the plot much, but is pretty good.
Scarlet Summers, Silver Fall - Finally the death of Abe. And it is kind of glorious. And Ogami Itto gets to do his old job.
To Protect and Defend - Daighoru protects the swords. And explains things without words. Kind of awesome.
For Whom to Die - Retsudo is such a manipulative asshole. This one shows him controlling the situation while locked up. Sure it helps to have ninjas being your eyes and ears and hands and feet. And a Shogun who should be making other choices.
Way of the Warrior, Way of Man - Retsudo and the remaining Grass. This would have been cool if the author hadn't lost the thread of the story. But none of this has any future. So it ends up being meaningless. And by comparison we have Daigoro and Ogami Ito and the villagers. Playing, clearing, repairing, living. And then ending with the swords. So a half good story for sure.
Battle's Eve - The Grass attacks. The Grass dies. The youngest Grass is buried by Lone Wolf and Cub. His sword gets "polished". Yeah whatever.
Grass That Never Flowers - Lots of Grass attack. Lots of Grass die. Whatever.
Corpse Tree - The rest of the Grass attack. The rest of the Grass die. Whatever.
Flute and Wave - Now that's it is just Retsudo and Ogami Itto is as week as he can make him. It is time for the final battle. But first some flute music.
The Lotus Throne - So what's going on in town during the final battle? The Shogun is being an idiot. And since the author lost he thread of the story, and there is no future, then this chapter has no point. But otherwise this would be pretty cool and would be a pay off for all the threads of story of the past.
Empty Stirrups - More of the Shogun doing the wrong thing. And then really it doesn't matter. And maybe the battle is over.
Arms - And the battle is over. And it is all done. And maybe the end should be obvious. And it kind of is. But in the way that still leaves just a little doubt to the actual ending.
And by the end I was annoyed. I mean this volume wasn't all bad. But it should have been better. 2.5 of 5

This morning I finished the 12th and final volume of the Lone Wolf and Cub saga. For the uninitiated, Lone Wolf and Cub follows the darkly heroic journey of the Shogun's Executioner as he walks the path of vengeance through feudal Japan. Framed for treason against the Shogun on the same morning his wife is murdered, Ogami Itto walks the path of Meifumado (Buddhist Hell) with his infant son Daigoro as they commit assassination after assassination each one bringing them a step closer to the ultimate confrontation with the hated Retsudo Yagyu.
No review can do justice to this thoroughly unique and brilliant masterpiece. It stands alone.

If you're wondering what a comic book is doing on a Daoist monk's reading list, live and learn. This is a gorgeous piece of work, an example of high Japanese literature. The storytelling is stunning, the graphics are powerful, and the message and compelling feel of this masterpiece of graphic fiction will keep you turning the pages and earn the whole omnibus an honored spot in your library, too.

Well, now I have a new favorite story ever.

A well-deserved, epic conclusion to an amazing series! Glad I discovered this. Well worth the four months I spent reading it. The art, story, characters... all top notch.

Six stars if I could.
I've struggled to explain to people in the past why I think Lone Wolf & Cub is such a masterpiece, and it is still hard to put in to words what is so great about it. There is the fascination with the period and historical details that the story shows us, especially with regard to the way of Samurai and the feudal society of Edo-period Japan, but also a big part of it comes down to characters. Koike can write characters that are so well portrayed that they make the sometimes bizarre things that happen in the stories believable. Furthermore, he is such a skilled writer that even when character's motivations aren't clear, we still feel that they have a reason behind their actions, even if we don't know for sure what it is. It is often the mystery this creates that makes the series so enduring and thought-provoking.
The last third of the series is incredibly carefully plotted, without feeling contrived or forcing the characters to behave differently to get from point A to point B. The writing is masterful, and although I've expressed dislike for the character of Abe-No-Kai (who thankfully isn't in this volume for long), the plot and the dialogue pretty much never put a foot wrong throughout the whole series (part of the credit for the latter must go to the excellent translation). The moments of profundity are very much earned in this final volume, and as always the treatment of Bushido and samurai codes of honour are handled in a nuanced and cliché-free way.
I can't think of a long-running series in any medium that has such a pitch-perfect ending as Lone Wolf and Cub.
I first read this about fifteen years ago, and re-read it as a lead up to finally getting on to New Lone Wolf and Cub. I wondered if I would feel the same way about it now as I did back then, but nothing has changed in that regard. I'm only now a little apprehensive about the sequel.

Je viens de refermer le douzième et ultime tome de cette somptueuse édition Prestige de Lone Wolf and Cub : quel chef-d'œuvre absolu !
Kazuo Koike et Goseki Kojima ont bâti une épopée historique très détaillée d'une profondeur vertigineuse qui aura marqué l'histoire de la bande dessinée.
Si la première moitié de l'œuvre excelle dans son format anthologique, permettant de picorer des récits fascinants sur la société de l'ère Edo, la montée en puissance vers la guerre totale contre les Yagyu devient rapidement suffocante.
Mais le véritable cœur du récit reste cette relation père-fils. Le silence de mort et le stoïcisme terrifiant du petit Daigoro prennent littéralement aux tripes. Ce pauvre "Cub" n'a pas le droit à l'enfance, forcé de grandir dans la boue et le sang aux côtés d'un père dont la classe martiale ne masque plus l'évidence : cette vengeance est une lente et tragique mission suicide.
Et quelle conclusion... Le combat final entre Ogami Itto et Retsudo est d'une beauté visuelle et d'une intensité inégalables. C'est un super final, à l'image de la série : épique, implacable et profondément doux-amer.
Itto accomplit sa mission au prix de sa vie, et c'est le petit Daigoro qui porte le coup de grâce. Itto a forgé une arme encore plus redoutable que son sabre : son propre fils !
Ce qui m'a le plus bouleversé, c'est ce geste final de Retsudo, qui se laisse frapper et appelle le Cub « mon petit-fils » (que j'interprète comme ''enfant de cœur'', le reconnaissant comme un véritable samouraï).
Dans la mort, la haine disparaît pour laisser place au respect absolu entre deux guerriers et à l'adoption spirituelle de cet enfant tragique.
Une lecture indispensable, une œuvre fondatrice dont la fin hante longtemps après la dernière page.
Un chef-d'œuvre intemporel et indispensable !

A year and a half ago, I start reading this amazing series called Lone Wolf and Cub. The original plan was to read one of its 12 volumes every quarter or so, as with each one being more than 700 pages,no matter how much I loved the previous volume, picking up the next one felt a bit overwhelming.
This year I decided to fasten my pace, cause I rarely found other in-between books to be as good as Lone Wolf. Earlier in December, I had to choose if its last volume would be my last read for the year, or the 500th book I mark as read on GoodReads. The choice was easy. Also, I just couldn't find myself halting reading time so close to the end.
Lone Wolf and Cub, at least its first half, consists of short stories in old Japan (1700s). Every volume has a couple of chapters that move along the plot, but its brilliance lays in those short stories, where 9/10 are a crystal clear 10 in my books. Toward the latest volumes the plot moves faster as the final confrontation comes closer, and the finale is just magical. Brutal, epic, uncovering many layers at once, but still magical.
I've never found myself motivated enough to write down thoughts in here for anything else, but Lone Wold and Cub, oh boy...
what.a.fucking.masterpiece.

4.9/5
This is it. Ground zero. Everything is brought to a satisfying close in this final volume! Retsudo proves his cunning makes him a formidable opponent even off the battlefield once again, and the final showdown is fantastically realized in the second half of this volume. After many twists, turns, deaths, and showdowns, this is what it all comes down to. There is so much emotional turmoil and strife that even the stoic Itto cries a few times.
I've been reading manga for the majority of my life, and I gotta say, this just may be the greatest manga I've ever read. Not even Miura's Berserk matches this, though admittedly the art in Berserk is superior to Kojima's scratchier, messier lines. Still, Kojima and Koike were a creative duo to be reckoned with; Koike wraps it all up to a riveting conclusion, and Kojima renders it in master strokes of ink. I'll be rereading this series again, and I'll also be putting greater effort into tracking down Koike's other work...

Well this was it--the epic conclusion to this body of work. I save my review for the final omnibus work, but this has been a 5-star work through out. I don't use the term "masterpiece" often, but this is that. The art, the narrative and historical background just provide rich experience for the reader. Moreover, the relationships between father and son, sworn enemies, the two protagonists and, well, all of Japanese society, touched me in a way I did not think possible. The ending left me in tears and that never happens.
Yagyu says in the final act that Daigoro is the "grandson of his heart" and truly Daigoro was the son and grandson of all of our hearts. This young man was the foil to his father's ambitions of disavowing his humanity, and kept him grounded to who he was as a man. Their relationship is one for the ages and Itto's final words to his son will echo with me forever. I totally gave my daughter a hug after putting this down.
This is a must read.

Long before Alan Moore, Frank Miller, and others broke ground this series was years ahead of them. Atmospheric environments with gorgeous illustrations, a fascinating historical background, insightful and intelligent thematic storytelling, and amazing characters that do both the greatest goods and worst of evils.
What makes it stand out even more is how Koike gives us many different perspectives. From the poorest farmer to the wealthiest ruler. Men, women, and children from all walks of life are affected one way or another in this extremely bloody fued.
Many artists over the years have borrowed abundantly from this series, most notably Frank Miller and Samurai Jack. This comic has had more impact on pop culture than it gets credit for, and with good reason.

This is now my new addiction!!!
A beautifully told story with hand drawn animation!
Where you learn about Japanese historical culture and lots of martial arts and political intrigue.
This is perfect for me and I am devouring them!
It's based on a samurai who is politically outplayed and loses his station and family. Just him and his boy are out to seek revenge!
I don't throw 5 stars around much. but this is totally a 10 stars!!! a 100 stars!!!!! a 1000 stars...... it's just great! Don't consider it, just read it!!!!
ENJOY!!!

After so much violence and murder across twelve volumes, the best move in the whole series was in this volume where he tosses the poisoner over his shoulder. I laughed out loud when I saw the page. Most satisfying move in the whole series.
I should also mention that I was surprised how emotional I got from the final few pages.

Ending, really, the only way this could, the story's blood soaked finally ends up creating a more complicated and nuanced pro- and antagonists than we started with 8000 pages ago. I seem to have a different interpretation of the end then other people seem too but I don't want to include a spoiler. Very glad I finally got around to reading this entire series.

I knew this was the end but I was not prepared for it. Its difficult for me to review this one without looking at the series as a whole. I mean its a hard knock life for some and none more that Lil Diagoro. But dont blame this lunacy on the stars because his Dad jacked him up before he could even talk. I mean lil homie was covered in blood most of the time or left lost or abandoned. Itto is alot things but father of the year aint one of them. that aside this is an excellent tale of honor revenge and perseverance.
