History Funny / UsagiYojimbo

* In ''Senso'', when Usagi and Tomoe are trying to evacuate the town surrounding Lord Hikiji's castle during the Martian attack, who should show up but Jei-san and Keiko? Spotting his old enemy, Jei-san runs towards Usagi, spear raised...and promptly gets fried by a stray Martian death ray, leaving Keiko staring in stunned silence at his rather undignified corpse. The best part is that Usagi never noticed ANY of this happening.

* In one of the very first stories, Usagi runs across a group of bandits that attack him. Most of them run away, but he does take a horse from one of the dead in order to sell. He takes the horse to the nearest village and tries to sell the horse to the magistrate, lying that he's had the horse for a few years. Unfortunately, said magistrate recognizes the horse as one that was recently stolen from him, forcing Usagi to flee for his life on the horse. He seemingly escapes, though the magistrate and his levy are following him, and comes across what he believes to be a group of horse traders in a cabin. Unfortunately, they're the same group of bandits that accosted him earlier.

The bandits see the magistrate's troops following Usagi and believes that the ronin had sicced the authorities on them, while the magistrate believes that Usagi had led him and his troops into an ambush.

* In the collected edition of Senso Stan has a little bonus comic telling 'normal' Usagi about the story and showing him one of the [[spoiler: martians which Usagi remarks looks like an octopus and Stan clarifies that's how Wells described them in the original War of the Worlds.]] Usagi stated this would be an easy victory.
