I love this bridge metaphor. it shows how violence always follows AFRO and that a simple action of walking across the bridge causes him to create a river of blood.
Possibly but it’s all in the subtext like these headbands have caused major problems for this anime world, like the people actually believe having a headband makes them a god. When in reality it’s just a piece of cloth with a number, it doesn’t give you god-like powers or anything.
@@peacemaker5030 Sums up real life to be honest, ppl killed over toilet paper or getting items on Black Friday. Ironically Afro never wanted power he only needed the headband to reach Number One and avenge his dad and then move on with his life. But unfortunately those who are savages will always obsess with gaining power and that will never leave Afro.
“The headband shall be ours.” Funny thing is that these two would totally turn on each other if they managed to kill Afro since only one can wear the headband.
When you wear the headband you are prime target number 1 to EVERYBODY, ranging from thugs, bandits, assassins, mercenaries, etc. And Afro just so happens to have the number 1 headband which makes him the most dangerous man on the whole planet. That's the reason he kept his head covered with that tall uh whatever that thing was.
They nailed a perfect niche that a lot of people wanna see: hip-hop and a fight anime. Idk why we don’t see more of this stuff. Guess not everyone has the juice to do it.
Hip hop isn’t particularly engrained in Japanese culture. Some have used it, Samurai champloo to name one. But that is more of an adventure/journey than a fight anime. If Nujabes was still around I’m sure it’d have been done by now!
This is a flashback to when he was No.2 wasn't it? That's why the nameless goons are challenging him, and it probably explains Afro's funny hat, he was probably trying to hide it to get a day off, lol
sounds like it, his initial growl when they first popped up and stuck their swords through his basket sounded more like "this shit again? cant i have ONE DAY?" than anything else.
My favorite scene in all of anime. I come back to this scene every time the details of it become hazy in my mind. In my opinion there will never be a scene more badass in anime.
I think the fact we see a beautiful blue sky in every shot is calculated to create that cool color ambiance I like so much. It's even the most colored part of any of the shots.
I Got to Admit Afro Samurai is Definitely one Hell of an Anime to get not only is the character design and background awsome as well as Samuel L Jackson's voice over, but the blood and Gore Fighting is Just so Fuckin Awsome and yet keeps in check with the insane hip hop beat in the back Love this Show
his skills definitely came from his afro thats why he's called afro samurai.! so its the afro that makes him stronger and makes him great Dont you agree people?
At the very least his afro makes people aim just a bit too high to hit his head throughout the entire continuum of the series. Daggers, spikes, gunshots, just pass through the afro instead of hitting his dome XD
What an action sequence!!! That damn earring click, (plus visual spark) & near nose slash with their swords against Afro, bloody hell, is truly awesome!!! Trust me, I love seeing bad guys get their butts handled & handled well, but a scene much like this one holds much stronger when the hero is up against worthy foes. 'You have the hand & speed of God?!' Show me.
You know what this scene needed? To have ninja-ninja. I already imagine him saying something like "CANT A BROTHER FISH ALONE? Damn Afro, these guys cant leave you at peace"
Esse sim é um anime de verdade, já assistir muitas vzs e sempre me surpreendo. Sem espaço pra amorzinho furado e ladainha afro Samurai é raiz e nunca será Nutela...
Just a classic among classics. I try and rewatch these at least once a year. This, Ninja Scroll, Gunslinger Girl, Samurai Champloo, Golgo 13, Cowboy Bebop, Elfen Lied, Corpse Princess and GitS SAC - these are my favorite classic anime. Nowadays I find the animation is weird and it’s all CGI/computer drawn and lacks the storytelling and emotion of the classic ones. Just my two sense
I love the concept of this anime so simple to headbands one has to fight everyone and the other can only fight the one with the other headband and the story is just a conflict around the headband really interesting they could bring back this anime at any time
They easily could it never wrapped up what happened to the kid he gave the number two headband to and told him when your ready...be exciting to see what would happen next time they meet.
+XxVoiceofSurvivalxX hmm.. Sounds like a good fight BUT remember zoro can hit gears 1,2, and 3 I don't think Afro has gears of any kind but it would be a fight I'd pay to see.
there are some cases with this 1. might get nagged by netflix and gets ruined 2. woke hollywood might pull some bullshit to make it appealing to "modern audience" 3. quentin tarantino picks it and its a hit (or miss, i know he can do it)
I'm still waiting on the live action version of this. Samuel Jackson was supposed to be behind the project, but I guess it didn't work out. Samuel and Tarantino would make this magic, with Wesley Snipes as Afro.
Sing along! So many times I've had to sneak up on dem niggas with my finger on the trigga like Like I'm pullin out my sword / this is combat, man, this is war

thats a waste of good fish..i know he was mad 😂😂😂😂
That and they cut his fro!
dre walker those fencing bastards
How could those fencers ruined his fish!! Why!!!!!😂😂😂

Nothing makes a black man madder than having a good day of fishing go to waste.

you ever watch Samurai Champloo? Highly recommend
I was speechless the first time I saw this, the visuals, the music, everything is so intense and my jaw was open until the end of the scene
we need this kind of animation these days.
It's never coming back it's too expensive
@@ShadowOfNexxus true
@@BloopSuperJuice hisashi mori, sadly i Think he's not coming anymore to animate something

I agree
This is a flashback to when he was No.2 wasn't it? That's why the nameless goons are challenging him, and it probably explains Afro's funny hat, he was probably trying to hide it to get a day off, lol
Now that he got his revenge he buried his dad with the number one on his tomb
sounds like it, his initial growl when they first popped up and stuck their swords through his basket sounded more like "this shit again? cant i have ONE DAY?" than anything else.
Yelkwood9 3 months late, but to me it sounded like "Not the afro, I'll kill you both"
There is no "break" when you have the number 2 headband, cause there's some guy always trying to kill you for it.
*afro's hair busts out* heeey heeey heeey
It gives me chills every time that part comes up
RZA always coming tru whit da beatz n rhymes
TOASTY KAT what’s the name of the song

LOL mass murder? nah, self defense
Technically it's both.
He DOES have hundreds of people hunting him down trying to kill him for his head band, it's more of mass defense
Sequoia Lee nah just mass murder :)

Mass defense
Self murder
Im pissed that this isn't on Netflix anymore -_-
what? why? They have it on hulu tho
I don't have hulu tho...
You can just go to hulu.com and watch it online
Watch online man it's not like Sam Jackson needs more money
JandAshow100 look at the way he kills the people -its too brutal
I think the fact we see a beautiful blue sky in every shot is calculated to create that cool color ambiance I like so much. It's even the most colored part of any of the shots.
Imagine Afro Samurai fighting
pilgrims and slave-masters in the 19th century.
sounds like Catcher Freeman

If that ever happened, his body count would he higher than Django's and that's REALLY saying something.
Syryu Smh...
I never noticed this until now but at 2:36 as the gun explodes, the rocket he's carrying on his back does too
afro samurai is just huey Freeman grown up
That makes perfect sense

アフロサムライはマジで神アニメ!!
綺麗でリアルでありながら、同時に芸術的な表現も多用し、そこにクールな音楽が加わるという、他にはないクオリティーの高さは、日本国内でももっと評価されていいと思う。
How the fuck did they animate this, especially with how fast the characters move? The animation is phenomenal.
Lots of crack and rap music 24/7.
Take a moment to appreciate the absolute master piece this is
This was an homage to Ninja Scroll's opening scene
2023 and this still slaps
Man this show is the best anime iv ever seen. i wish there was more though :(. i will always love this show!

entire slaughterhouse bro
I would like to see afro samurai v.s Mugen
that would be EPIC!
Kishou Arima afro WINS
I haven't watched Afro Samurai, but I have a feeling Afro might win..
SasorRyu episode two has sex at the end of so don't have kids in the room but i STRONGLY suggest you don't watch the last 10 minutes of it
SasorRyu i watched all afro samurai episodes and movies
and im a huge mugen fan - but afro samurai will cut mugen his head off
How the hell shows like this get one season then shit like inuyusha get multiple
This show is great, one of my favorite action anime series.
I'm seeing a parallel now...
When Majin Buu (Fat Buu) opens his eyes, he means business.
When we see Afro's eyes, bodies are sliced and diced.
This is so much better than air blasts and yelling
I see your not a fan of shounen jump
one of the top 10 anime sword fights
Dude the art in this show is amazing.
i get goosebumps when the music starts.
Huey Freeman fits perfectly with this
his skills definitely came from his afro thats why he's called afro samurai.! so its the afro that makes him stronger and makes him great
Dont you agree people?
According to One Piece thats how it works :P
At the very least his afro makes people aim just a bit too high to hit his head throughout the entire continuum of the series. Daggers, spikes, gunshots, just pass through the afro instead of hitting his dome XD
Afro makes Afro stronger 🧐
Yuzuru Otonashi exactly

ITS TIIIIME FOR A DEATH BAAAATLEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
paul toloumu this is how I want the new season of samurai jack to be
paul toloumu Afro would destroy Mugen he would have to fight someone like Zoro
Wallace Thompson true but Zoros fighting with Izra right??? In death battel?
paul toloumu Yeah. It was a dope fight
the thing I love about afro is that he`s smoking a blunt the whole time
Haah I love that to...I imagined it's to make his muscles more relaxed while fighting :S or just because he can.
It's a Japanese cigarette.
most beautiful clouds i've ever seen

Every stoners anime and old school rap fans must watch. It really shines if u watching this stoned
For the best viewing experience you have to smoke everytime Afro smokes

2. woke hollywood might pull some bullshit to make it appealing to "modern audience"
