Hopefully, he can't sense what Bullseye is doing at any given time. Gross.

Every so often, we have to blog a comic, to keep me from buying a copy every time I randomly come across one! Like today's book: from 1983, Daredevil #199, "Daughter of a Dark Wind" Written by Denny O'Neil, pencils by William Johnson, inks by Danny Bulanadi.

The combination of an earthquake and a head injury is probably ruining Daredevil's visit to Japan, but he has other problems: the return of Bullseye, for one. Dark Wind has overseen Bullseye's surgery, repairing a spinal injury, replacing some of his bones with adamantium--I don't think it's referred to as such here, possibly because Bullseye dismissively interrupts him to ask what he wants. Dark Wind is an ultranationalist, who disapproves of Japan's current businesslike ways, and wants a trade minister iced as an example; which even Bullseye considers nuts. Bullseye has also picked up a psychic link with DD, with both of them aware the other is near.

Meanwhile, Daredevil is getting closer, accompanied by Yuriko, Dark Wind's daughter. Scarred and abused, she hates her father, but makes Matt promise not to hurt Kira, her lover. Even though she and Matt had slept together the night before! That was just a one-time thing. Kira believes in Dark Wind, even though he's treated like a particularly incompetent baby, and given the job of rowing Bullseye to the mainland. Bullseye tells Kira, since he's not getting paid for killing any trade minister, he's not going to be killing any trade minister: he's not a grateful sort. Kira unwisely tries to kill him, and gets bottled and thrown overboard, leaving a grumbling Bullseye to row himself.

DD would probably be able to walk all over Dark Wind's samurai-wannabe men; if not for another earthquake throwing him off. A collapsing roof pins him, as Dark Wind comes for his head, until Yuriko stabs him. She then arranges Daredevil's boat, correcting him when he suggests she needs to mourn her father. Kira lurches out of the ocean, crying over failing his master, as Yuriko tries to comfort him. But this wouldn't be the last we'd see of her, although she would have a bit of work done: she would next appear in Alpha Flight #33 as Lady Deathstrike! Then the X-books would grab her and never let her go. I wonder if she kept that idiot boyfriend, though: he seems like the type to throw himself on his sword the moment she wasn't there to stop him. And Matt wouldn't have to wait to catch up to Bullseye, they would face off in the regular-sized next issue.
