Un tomo en el que destacan excelentes historias y dibujos. Especial mención a capítulos como "el puente de ikkoku" (con Daigoro cuidando a su padre); "la captura de maleantes" (como ronin lo quieren considerar como maleante"); "la noche de los colmillos" (en la que Daigoro es testigo del asesinato de una princesa" o "la 79 ley" (nos muestra un Daigoro con un carácter como el de su padre) o "el nudo de tonel de los Kurokawa" (lucha con los Yagyu y los ninja en la nieve que me recuerda a algunas de mis pelis de samurais preferidas como es "Goyokin").

The best volume so far, this volume 5 plays to all the strengths of the series: revenges, fights, silences and character development to offer a well rounded volume that all readers of the series will enjoy.
Even if it just continues with the stand alone 60-odd-pages-long chapters, the story has come to a place where Koike doesn't need much to introduce the plot of the chapter and the threat to our heroes to then offer lots of original situations to Itto and his son. Particularly the stories of revenge are great, but all of them offer a great level, as the last one, with the son and the thief.
The story of Itto Ogami (and son) is becoming more and more interesting.
8/10

Leyendo la maestría y el arte sobresaliente de Koike y Kojima, se siente y se respira un japón de western, donde la justicia no tiene lugar, y la venganza lo es todo
