        I still don’t understand why he never got his own spinoff show… It looks like a CG show was made in 2018, but it’s about one of his descendants in the future 😞

          IIRC, it’s because Stan Sakai is a treasure of a human being, and didn’t want to sign a terrible deal that would have any lasting, negative effects on Usagi or his awesome readers. Might be a little off on the details, as it was 20+ years ago that he said as much on a convention Q&A panel.

          Also, here’s the art that your post inspired!

            That looks awesome dude! I was actually thinking they could have given him a really good spinoff from the 2003 series. The character had a lot more depth and they clearly took it much more seriously in that one! I grew up on the original 80s series but the 2003 run has always been my favorite lol
