Description
A doodle I did last night in my exhaustion that I liked enough to throw some colour on. 8D...yes I'm still drawing Usagi stuff XD;; ... please don't hurt me turtle fans 8D;; I still love the boys! Don't despair!
I feel kinda sorry for Kenichi. It's so easy to be a Usagi supporter if you don't know the other man in Jotaro's life. And the very.. VERY sad thing is, Kenichi is actually a wonderful father. There's a reason Jotaro turned into such a great kid.
Kenichi knows who Jotaro really is. Hell, he knew before Usagi did! Hell he knew before he Married Mariko, before the boy was even born! He just.. ..doesn't really care. He accepted the boy 100% as his own and loves him so very deeply.
So much so that he's become TERRIFIED of Usagi. It's never openly said in the comic (at least not where I've gotten up to or that I can remember) But it's obvious Kenichi's deep seething hatred for Usagi stems from fear. He doesn't want to lose his son, so when Usagi is around his automatic response is to treat him with a passive-aggressive coldness.
I'm sorry for being a Usagi rooter Kenichi! But be aware that despite that, you're a good father.

do me a favour, please don't comment on any spoilers
I have not read all the books yet, and even the ones I have I don't want people who might read the comments to have stories spoiled for them. I feel a little hypocritical asking that considering the context of this picture... I just figure it's ok talking about Jotaro's father because most of my watchers already know about the boy since I've talked about it often... and Stan Sakai doesn't treat it as a secret on his website (Heck, mariko's most memorable quote in her profile is where she reveals to Usagi who Jotaro is!)
Does any-one have any opinions on this? XD;;;

I can't beleive it! What is the story on that? It wont really matter even though I' still on the first book. Wait is that why Mariko seemed to want Usagi to stay?

XD;; sorry. I'm not really one for talking about spoilers. Especially where other people can read them

But the problem is that I can't read them my mom took away my library card and the state Washington is to far away! you could always send me a note then no one will know but us. But is that really why Mariko wanted Usagi to stay? you could atleast answer that question.

I'm not entirely sure. I haven't read book 1. if you're talking about book 2 I still don't know XD I'm not sure she knew she was pregnant at the time.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes I am talking about book two.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No I'm pretty sure she didn't know she was pregnant at that stage or she would've told him. She just wanted him to stay because she loves him.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Good point. But there is the possibility that she wanted to stay then she would tell him.

This is fantastic, but I actually like your comments more :3 I loved this whole dynamic in the books, it really touched me
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
XD Thank you very much! That's actually great to hear 
And I loved this little dynamic in the comics (or how deep it's been explored so far) I was deeply touched, and for that reason alone Book 6 is STILL my favourite book so far.

I haven't read all of them, I will need to re-read them soon after I've plugged in some holes in my collection :/ But I hope to do that very soon now

I wish Kenichi would realize that there's no way he could be replaced. He's a good guy, Jotaro's gotta love him even if he is something of a prick from time to time.

*nods* At the same time though, even if his fear is somewhat irrational I can kinda understand why Kenichi feels the way he does. He's always been trapped in Usagi's shadow. Usagi is the superior swordsman and the person Mariko loved the most. Not to mention almost everything Kenichi has is, in a way, rightfully Usagi's. He's married to Mariko who I'm pretty sure is still in love with Usagi and who I KNOW is still in love with her, He's raised Usagi's son, He became magistrate of Usagi's village after Usagi's father died... I think Kenichi feels a strange kind of guilt over all this. Sadly, his fear of losing those he loves transforms this guilt into fear and hate.
This is why I feel so sorry for him
...the strange thing is.. I'm not entirely sure I can say I 'like' Kenichi. Simply based on his personality. I sympathise with him, and I care about his well-being.. ..but I don't know if I actually LIKE him XD;;

This pic for me is bittersweet. Ok he is a good father it seems and Skippy has come out a good kid but the main fact of the matter is that is Usagis son. How could he marry Mariko knowing that? Sorry I have a strong set of maorals and this just feels wrong. It's like Kenichi, unable to best Usagi in a sword fight or other event, is using Skippy as a way to ensure his victory over Usagi and to give himself a feeling of ride over winning. But the fact that he is still afraid of Usagi means that he must fear losing Skippy and thus he loses his bargining chip. Skippy will find out one day. It's only right that Usagi has Jotaro after all the crap he's had to put up with, he deserves Jotaro more then anyone else. Now I Know that he's a good father and maybe not a bad person but he seems to have petty pride in holdoing Skippy over Usagi like a carot and watching him squirm. MAkes me so mad. I'm naturally a nice and gentle person but things like this just get me hot and bothered. Still I'm thinking more about Skippy then the others really.

He married Mariko knowing that because Kenichi has always been in love with her. She and Usagi were always closer than she was to Kenichi, but the three of them grew up together, and there's always been this rivalry between Usagi and Kenichi for her affections.
and I firmly disagree about the bargaining chip thing. I don't believe that at all. Kenichi loves Jotaro. He loves him honestly and fully. If anything Jotaro is Usagi's power over Kenichi, not the other way around. Kenichi knows that if Usagi speaks up Kenichi will have no choice but to hand the boy over to his rightful father. This is why he's afraid and hates Usagi. He truly loves the boy and would never use him as some sort of tie-breaker between him and Usagi.
XD *flails* the poor guy! If this story was written from his point of view we'd all probably hate Usagi too!

Still it doesn't sit well with me. Surely if she was faithful to him then she would've spurned her Kenshis advances.
If anything the boy will find out sooner or later as he looks nothing like Kenshi. SO in a ways Usagi has his son but he's being kept from him but stuid pride and honour. We can't all do whatsright and sometimes we need to make a stand and take what is ours by right. Skippy is Usagis own fleash and blood. And Kenshi has no right to the boy. I only hope that the kid realises that and finds Usagi. Cause if theres one thing that belongs to our rabbit it's his kid. if he needed to be selfish for one thing, it's skippy.
You might be right but if we learned all the same story from his point of view then we might still end up liking Usagi. I'm sure kenshis not a bad sort but jhe seems wromng somehow not sure what it is.

I don't think its a big deal. It's pretty much an open secret at this point. All the characters know but no one says anything about it. It's a sad situation, but it adds DRAMA. I love drama

Beautiful and sad. I just love the way Jotaro his griping Kenichi kimono.
You're right, I often forget Kenichi, event if he a really good guy. He could have refuse to take care of the son of someone else, but he have welcome Jotaro with all the love he could give him.
All this situation between all of them, feel like a love triangle. Both Usagi and Kenichi love Jotaro as their son when Jotaro is torn a bit between the two of them...That how I interpret this picture. The way Jotaro is griping Kenichi's kimono like he don't want to lose him, but he look in another direction, maybe think about his other father....Okay return to bed for me, I think too much
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
XD I agree, Kenichi needs more love. He really isn't a bad guy. Not at all 
And thank you very much X3 I'm glad you like
XD I was thinking more like Jotaro is looking at the person viewing the picture who probably know the situation of him and Usagi and Jotaro is asking "Why do you want to take me away from my father?" .. ..or something XD;; I don't really know.

Kind of reminds me of my own dad; he isn't my dad by blood, but he still loves and support me. Actually, he fell in love with my mom when I was around 6 months old; and he have never treated me different.
But unlike Jotaru, I never hesitate in voicing my dislike towards my biological father. So I'm not sure if my dad would be scared or angry if I ever met my biological father.
Um. Very good picture. :3

XDD thanks
Kenichi needs some sympathy I believe

X3
I don't blame him.
Besides, the "jerks" more often than not got a good reason.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
XDD His good reason is that Usagi is much better than him in so many ways.
*starts to cry* Kenichiiii~! Didn't you and Usagi use to be best friends? whyyyy?? D'X
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Kenichi and Usagi were friends when they were little boys. But when they went to a school for swordsmanship, they were suppose to go to the same school, but Usagi saw an old man beat up some people from the school they were going to join and decided he was going to ask that man to become his sensei instead. Kenichi thought he was nuts and went to the normal school.
When Lord Mifune held a contest of skill to accept new samurai directly into his court as his retainers Kenichi and Usagi ended up facing against each other and Usagi won. Because of this Kenichi was never able to become a samurai

O_O
Why couldn't he become a samurai? D:
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Because he lost to Usagi in Lord Mifune's duel, which means he's not good enough to serve Lord Mifune.

. . . Then why didn't he just go to another Lord and battle?
