Holy hand grenades! Edo is flooded, and by flooded, we mean crazy-flooded. Bridges are crumbling, rivers are washing past retaining walls, and everything in Edo is floating away, including our vengeful ronin, his foe, and his little boy. In an ironic show of samurai respect, little Cub Daigoro gets saved by the conniving Retsudo Yagyu. And proving he can lend a hand, too, Lone Wolf Ogami pulls someone to safety as well — but maybe he should have let him drown. Eventually, the two opposing master swordsmen dry off and go head to head in a sword fight of a thousand stances and couple of days length. This seems like it could be the deciding bout between the two, unless that nasty, Abeno Kaii gets in the way, and he seems to do that a lot lately.The true meaning of Bushido, the warrior code, oozes from every page of this volume. A little boy desperately attempts to drag his ronin father to safely, even if it costs him his own life; that same wandering samurai and his mortal enemy work together to save the frostbitten fingers of the same little boy, knowing they will eventually match swords again in a battle to the death; another samurai bites his own tongue, killing himself and locking a dark secret in his grave. The code of the samurai is complex and rich with irony, which is why so few carry this code through life. But as we draw closer to the conclusion of this epic struggle, the true bushi are stepping forth and showing their colors. It will truly be a fight to the finish. So, in these final days, a ronin and his young boy will visit the grave of their murdered wife and mother. It just might be the last Spring the two will share, like the many petals falling from branches.

This volume contains the following stories:
Child of the Fields
In These Samll Hands
Kaii Triumph
The Last Cherry Blossoms

5.0 out of 5 stars Ogami Itto and Retsudo Yagyu are unable to continue...
Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2003
The epic saga of Lone Wolf & Cub certainly changed once father and son finally entered Edo, the city of the Shogun. But the final confrontation between Ogami Itto and Retsudo Yagyu has been disrupted by the intrigues of Abe-No-Kaii, the master poisoner. As "In These Hands," Volume 24 of this manga saga by Kazuo Koike and Goseki Kojima opens, the two master swordsmen have collapsed in the snow, felled not by the wounds they have inflicted upon each other, but by the poison with which Kaii tainted their blades:
(117) "Child in the Fields" finds Daigoro struggling to save his father's life, even though the child has a severe case of frostbite. If Daigoro succeeds, then who will save him? Another touching example of a Daigoro story in the series.
(118) "In These Small Hands" finds Daigoro's life in the hands of the most unexpected person of all. Meanwhile, the Yagyu letter falls into the hands of another.
(119) "Kaii Triumphant" reminds us that every dog has his day as Abe-No-Kaii's latest plot seems to bring him as close as he has ever been to his quest for power.
(120) "The Last Cherry Blossoms" begins with Ogami Itto and Retsudo Yagyu appointing the time for the continuation of their duel. Each prepares for the resumption of the duel in his own way, Retsudo by spearing cherry blossoms from the air and Ogami Itto by visiting the house that once was his home.
(121) "Stone Upon Stone" finds Retsudo Yagyu called before the Shogun to answer for the Yagyu letters. This is a most unusual story because the sparring is all done with words rather than swords this time around.
The emergence of Abe-No-Kaii as a major player in the death struggle between Ogami Itto and Retsudo Yagyu brings to the forefront the way of the warrior, bushido, and what it means to be bushi, a member of the samurai class. Obviously Kaii is not bushi, a point that Retsudo reminds the poisoner of on several occasions. But it seems to me that in castigating Kaii for his failings in that regard and having been confronted with the example of Diagoro, that Retsudo adheres more to bushido in the last couple of volumes with regards to Ogami Itto than he has over the course of the entire epic. It is also interesting that so late in the game Koike and Kojima succeed in introducing another major villain, who not only functions to delay the climatic sword fight but to make Retsudo look good in comparison.
Only four volumes to go until the conclusion of one of the greatest comic books in the history of the known world.
