With the kidnapping of Yukichi the focus of the issue, we get the young boy Isamu getting a meal and payment from Miyamoto Usagi and then agreeing to lead Usagi, Gen, and Stray Dog to their missing friend.

Thanks to Yukichi’s warning, the former samurai survives now further in debt to Usagi’s family.

The third issue of Usagi Yojimbo: The Crow shows off the intellect and ruthlessness of Jimmu and his army who successfully take down a convoy outside of town. Only two members of the group, jumping off a cliff, manage to survive. As for Yukichi, his situation doesn’t change as he remains a prisoner of the bounty hunters (although his location is learned by the young boy who isn’t above trading that information for profit, especially given how the bounty hunters treated him).
