Common Sensei

**Common Sensei** is the fifth episode of the Samurai Rabbit: The Usagi Chronicles tv series.

## Summary

Usagi tries to convince Karasu-Tengu to become his Sensei; however, she believes he's unworthy due to his immaturity. Usagi faces off against her to prove himself, but fails to defeat or impress her. Elsewhere, Chizu gives Lady Fuwa the Scroll of Secrets, who then plans on infiltrating and destroying the Kaikishi Temple. She also assigns Chizu to ensure that the temple is empty when before the mission starts. As Chizu leaves, she spots a shady figure behind a shoji door, but it disappears when she approaches it.

Usagi continues his fight against Karasu-Tengu, who, after pinning him to a tree with some kunai, she notes her impression of Usagi's Yo-Yo Kaikishi. As a bargain for Usagi, Karasu-Tengu offers to become Usagi's Sensei if he proves himself to her by slaying the three Yokai: Sakuran, Hakai, and Giman. Three ecoterrorists must be sent back to the Ki-stone with their Kaikishi. She also informs him that his Yo-yo can track the presence of Yokai so that it can help him on his quest to find and seal the Yokai.

At Gen's home, Gen, Kitsune, and Chizu clean up the place until Usagi arrives and informs the group that Karasu-Tengu will become his Sensei if he slays three Yokai. Although Gen suggests his Sensei Bargain Buchi, Usagi is insistent on having Karasu-Tengu as his Sensei, so he and the rest of the group go out into the city to find them.

In their search, Usagi passes by a couple of Constructionbottos and is fascinated by them as they work in action. They then go by an arcade, and Kitsune suggests they go into there for a while. Although Usagi says they only should be there for five minutes, they waste seven hours there. It's then that the Yo-yo senses the presence of a Yokai and leads them to a vending machine. After the Yokai reveals itself, it briefly attacks the group with yogurt bottles and confirms it's not one of the Yokai Usagi is looking for. The Yokai's name is Jihanki and gives him a tip on how to track particular Yokai.

Soon, the group encounters a wild Constructionbotto that turns out to be possessed by the Yokai Hakai. Initially, Usagi wanted to fight Hakai independently, but due to the Yokai getting the upper hand on him, he decided to allow the others to help him. They manage to beat Hakai into submission and restrain him with Usagi's Yoyo through their combined effort. Although the group planned to reseal the Yokai back in the Ki-stone, Chizu recalled that Lady Fuwa planned on attacking the temple at midnight, which was close at hand.

Arriving at the temple, Usagi respectfully asks his Yoyo to help him seal Hakai back in the Ki-stone, and it does. The moment Usagi seals Hakai in the Ki-stone, he receives a flashback of his ancestor Miyamoto Usagi talking with a ninja cat and claiming that the Shogun must perish. After this, ninja cats surround the group, and Chizu joins them.
