Black market death matches wage across the rooftops of Manhattan—it is the only life young Jiro knows. A student of the KoZu Sword School, trained in the ancient military arts to be a Bushido warrior, Jiro fights the secret bloody battles sponsored by wealthy gambling Japanese businessmen and is content, until one night…until one battle. In an instant, Jiro’s life is turned upside down and what’s ahead of him is the only road left open—the road to rebellion.

This is a three-issue full color mini-series, but for all you collectors out there who strive to be neat and complete, you’ll also find a Bastard Samurai five-page back-up preview story in and exclusive to Powers #17.
