The bounty on the Ushi‑oni is spectacular, smiled Haiko, as she dodged another cargo container. I just need to turn off his power core. Too bad it's in the middle of his chest. The demon didn't look like he was in the business of giving out hugs without squeezing the life out of you. She leaps over his head, landing on his back, riding him like a cowboy. "Yee haw!" she yells. "This is fun! I can't believe I get paid for this!", she thinks as he tries to buck her off.

About this image

This dynamic YokaiPunk #19 artwork blends traditional Japanese yokai lore with gritty cyberpunk sci-fi aesthetics, depicting an anthropomorphic cat samurai wielding a steampunk energy weapon against a massive armored ox demon emerging from stormy harbor waters. The tense, action-packed scene is lit by glowing Japanese neon signage, with deep moody color accents of hot pink, electric blue, and bright orange from the demon's glowing power core. The hyper-detailed graphic art style leans into industrial dark fantasy vibes, perfect for audiences that enjoy anime sci-fi and reimagined folklore.

Thank you! I love this ronin! I appreciate your vote. I probably should have put up a wanted poster to make it clear she is trying to catch him and not vice versa.
