Hachimaru and his group find out that they have walked into a tap when Daruma's analysis AI points out that the key holder samurai that they had come searching for is only a con--man who traps samurai for their keys. As they lay into an offensive strategy, they are supported by the samurai from before, who reveals himself to be basically space police. Daruma also dips into the secret weapon held up his sleeve, and we get to see his past as well as his true form. Also, we dive into Kotsuga's past ...more

Hachimaru kann das Battle Royal für sich entscheiden. Doch als Sieger ist er noch nicht am Ziel, denn der finale Endgegner ist der Veranstalter selber, der nichts Gutes im Schilde führt. Dieser möchte nämlich den Planeten vernichten und sich die Schlüssel aneignen. Der Wettkampf gegen die Zeit beginnt.

Die Geschichte rund um Kotsuga finde ich sehr emotional. Er tut einem richtig leid. Vor allem hat er die volle Ladung Gehirnwäsche abbekommen. Zum Glück kann sich jeder Mensch ändern und kann auch ...more

The series is starting to pick up pace a little more now with this action packed volume. Daruma finally shows his true self and he is a bad ass!

After seeing his true form and learning more about his past, I'm excited to see what else this series has in store for Hachimaru.

I would highly recommend picking this up if you love Naruto. It has that same feel but it's Samurai Cyborgs in Space. What more could you possibly need?

Thanks to Net Galley for providing me with an arc in exchange for an hones ...more

It's time for the tournament to wrap up and it's Hachimaru vs. uh...this one dude who started the whole thing. But just fighting it out would be boring, so let's throw in some treachery, lies, backstabbing, actual stabbing, cool transformations, and a planet destroying super missile.

Who authorized the Death Star?! This series is intense and kinda all over the place.

This series has 5 volumes. ...more
