They may not be friends, but their paths continually cross. And when ditzy waitress Fuu gets them out of hot water with the local magistrate, they agree to join her search for the samurai who smells like sunflowers.

I Never skipped this ending.
Same here. It was too brilliant for me to not watch, put me in the feels
If anyone did I would be surprised
Right me neither it was beautiful and the song was good
Sameeee. It was so deep. Another song ive nevwr skipped was the ending to Black Lagoon
This is like the opening & ending to Evangelion. I couldn’t ever skip them.
The last episode to this show, makes me happy and sad at the same time. The way they all went their separate ways, that is basically how great friendships are sometimes in life. Reminds me back in my college days. When we graduated, we all went on with our lives. Shared some crazy memories but at end, everything comes to an end just like this great anime
I couldn't agree more
You’re completely right, it’s so bittersweet🥺
@Brandon Howard lmfao
That’s how I feel about the last episode of Yu Yu Hakusho - I saw it on the final day of my old lease - shit hit different
I want to meet people who thinks same as me , feeling emotional 😢 these lines touched my ❤
samurai champloo and Cowboy bebop are a masterpiece.
Space Dandy too!
Afro is a path to a good anime
@@theduder3017 the truth has been told
@@theduder3017 Outlaw Star. My all time fave. That needs to be up there with bebop
@@mutuallysustainedhateboner1426 no, it's no where close as good as bebop.
god, this ending just makes my heart hurt. It's basically just fuu reminiscing about her childhood, and when I finally finished the show and watched the ending for a first full time, I was literally bawling. It really puts emotion behind these seemingly meaningless photos.The innocence of Fuu's youth, her mother's fading impression because of her early death, her father's abandonment, and fuu's glorification of him. sun flowers don't smell like anything. please just do yourself a favor and go watch the show.
You have never smelled sunflowers, they smell good
really?
Isabella Romaine it’s such a soulful song
crabsp00k why are you even at the full outro song reading comments if you haven’t finished it
Her dad was the man Who Smelled Of Sunflowers, however sunflowers smell like nothing
RIP Nujabes.
What happened
+Joel domotey he's one of the artists. he died in a car crash.
+AlphaDog Don't know who Najubes is but rip Nujabes.
+DiabeticNecromancer Jun Seba better known as Nujabes is one of four dj/musicians for the anime ie; Battlecry and this song, "Song of Four Seasons". He passed away when he was involved in a car accident.
+DiabeticNecromancer he was the main composer for all of samurai champloo. he died by getting hit from a drunk driver.
i just melt every time over the first 10 seconds of visual and audio
Potatoslice the vibes man
Potatoslice it makes me feel like I should've watched this show with my boys back in high school, when it was on. I didn't get into it until I was a senior and graduating. Feel like I missed out a bit.
The first 10 seconds always remind of the beach in Avatar the Last Airbender
loll same especially in the sand
Same!
Something about Fuu standing in the ocean with the red sky gets to me :)
RageZer0 go to Japan and go to a beach at night, you’ll see where this comes from 😊
Definitely on my To Do List
I always saw it like this - in the beginning of the song she looks up like she's hopeful about something, her eyes are sparkling. After revisiting old memories of her family she realizes that it'll never be the same. Not only are they dead but she has also parted ways with Mugen and Jin and you can sense her pain and loss at the end when the hair covers her face and she's looking down. Now she's alone again.
Eddie Sam
Dang that’s a good interpretation, jeez such a bittersweet ending to a bittersweet show.
RageZer0 it’s nice n chill that’s why
Watanabe is a fucking genius, he's literally directed a golden trilogy of Space Dandy, Cowboy Bebop, and Samurai Champloo. I'm so thankful for these shows for how creative they are, it isn't afraid to try something new and I'm so glad for it.
He's the Quentin Tarantino of anime
Annoying Elitist Idk Man, Zankyou No Terror Was Good Though.. I’ve Never Seen Cowboy Bebop Though, Would You Recommend It?
@@jaysigma1ofnone i'd recommend bebop any day of the week man. that show is a favorite of mine. might be my fav anime tbh
Zankyou no terror was the shit... the music in that is so good too.
Kids on the Slope was nice.
"ya like Jazz?"
Fave anime ending right here. It's sad we won't ever get good music like this again. R.I.P Nujabes
Wait what about Tokyo ghoul
We still got Shing02 but rest in beats Najubes
@Agent J yes. Car accident I believe. Rip.
Actually minmi made this one..... Nujabes did do a remix tho
difpron fr !
It's just so good, appropriate for one of the best animes ever created.
Ikr it fits so perfectly
+TheNarutoboy12 Yep
Yeah though I don't really see people knowing this Anime show these days. It's shame since out of the Anime's I've watched this is in my top 10.
+Imperials Immortal what shows are in your top 10? If you don't mind sharing. I don't keep a top 10, I have a top 5 though
+Pedro Garcia
out of all the anime I've seen, I only have a top 3 personally. Cowboy Bebop, Michiko Y Hatchin, FLCL
Thumbs up if you never skipped the ending 😍
Hell naw. I'd watch the opening and closing all the way through everytime.
I wouldn't dream of it
@@noble20xx56 big faxxx
@@alexsanimeart5706 Big fax BOI
Never.
I remember watching this on Adult Swim and getting chills just from the ending theme. Especially after a dramatic conclusion of an episode. It felt very melancholic, yet nostalgic; very fitting of Fuu's story. Samurai Champloo was a classic!
I second this! The first episode I watched was episode 14, which had quite a dramatic and badass conclusion which was enhanced by this amazing ending!
Thanks for Toonami and Adult Swim for influencing my taste in music
This takes me back to Adult Swim 👍
Nothing but truth 😭
Nujabes and MINMI flowed so perfect together. I just wish I could've heard a song live from him, just one time.
Rip Nujabes ❤️
I was 14 when I first saw this and thought this was the best ending theme of any anime. I’m currently 29 and I still think this is the best ending theme of all time. Literally brings me to tears how beautiful this theme is. Rest in Beats Nujabes
I know I'm late but same 😭😭
Crazy, I’m 14 now and just hearing this song for the first time. I saw it in a Spotify playlist and instantly fell I love with it. When I finish my current anime I’m going straight to samurai champloo😌
Same. Im 30 now, and this is the best song I have ever heard. It's a beautiful, mournful cry for days that have passed. Minmi isn't just singing something depressing, but rather crying from the amount of emotion she feels. It's pure and human.
RIP my youth. Maybe I can relive the 2000's in my next life.
can't wait until that
Maybe we will appreciate it the 2nd time around.
I miss the 2000s
Man the fact that we even got to live through that one time is what makes it epic
@@Jurico_Noes you're right
This is the greatest thing FUNimation has done for all of us.
+J.R Paulino Cowboy Bebop, this is in second place though. :3
+blwhere no way this is first place :3
NH 11th Any comment that you make from now on is null and void. They do not matter, you will one day ask yourself why no one listens to you. This is why.
Tenshi no yōna Senpai Did you not read any of the comments on this thread? I suggest you do. Second of all, I don't care if you're black using a japanese name, don't call me no type of n-word. Some of us hate that shit. Third, I don't think you got the joke at all. You just shouldn't talk anymore dude/chick.
Nh 1 somethings wrong With you
Back when Adult Swim was good.
They brought it back now. Airing Saturday's @ 1:30am with less censors. (No record scratches covering up words like shit). And guess what else? It's on the revived Toonami block!
+NettechZelkova it's still good, though arguably not as good.
Toonami and Adult Swim. Best anime past time
+NettechZelkova it's OK still, Rick & Morty is actually one of the best shows they have had one the block since Harvey Birdman, and the new Toonami is on there as well showing stuff like Champloo and One Piece.
+NettechZelkova Adult Swim and Toonami are pretty damn good right now.
This anime taught me some important lessons, I know I have to walk my own path in life, and so do my friends. Even if we go out separate ways we’ll still have the memories we made.
Well said
Times flies and disappears but the memories will live on forever….
I really like the opening image of Fuu standing on the ocean shore. Really matches the feeling of nostalgia this song evokes.
Man, this song brings me back to 2007. Coming home from school and looking forward to saturday nights. Beautiful bumps, shows and atmosphere. Nostalgia's kicking in 💤
It's back on adult swim @1:30am. Part of the Toonami block.
+Daniel Yu yeah i saw that! So good that they're bringing the good stuff back 😎
hello
Alan Doran Hey you :)
Word the nostalgia is kicking in big time lol.
I think I'm going to watch Samurai Champloo now
It's really good :)
+shane miller Do it! The music is amazing, and the art is _gorgeous_ (oh and everything else is amazing too).
+shane miller toonami
It'll be the best decision in your anime life ever.
+shane miller DO IT! JUST DO IT! WATCH THE SHOW ON NETFLIX! SUCH A BEAUTIFUL ANIME!
The melody and the voice gives be so much nostalgia it makes me want to cry 😭
ThE_JDM_F8N BO1 for real, this anime needs more love.
This touches your soul
I need to rewatch again. 1 of my favorites anime of all time.
It's on Toonami
I've watched it like 4 times
+Seth Budrik thx
I wish it wasn't one season
+Kawaii Flavored. IKR apparently it didn't do so well in Japan. That's why season 2 was not made.
Still listen to this ending in 2023, RIP Nujabes he was the absolute goat.
This anime will always have a special place in my heart 😭
I wonder why they took the full version dowm
You're a black female that likes anime? Whaaat?
Christopher Collins ong wtf never seen that in my life
@@christophercollins986 you got a problem with it lol
@@workingsix43 I think he's just shocked since not a lot of black girls watch anime. I'm sure he didn't mean it in a negative way and thinks it's really cool!
I usually skip watching ending credits but this one especially is the one I watch till the end. Best part is 0:35, I always laugh at that face lol. She's eating a rice ball with "umeboshi" in it which is not typically what kids like to eat in Japan.
There will never be a show like Samurai Champloo. Let that sit in you heart for a while
*Forever
15 years since it was released.
Rest In Beats, Nujabes.
1:24 the only image of the samurai who smells of sunflowers in what looks to be his prime. If the shogunate wanted him dead he must've been an imperialist
When I made it to the ending, each one of them chose different parts to move on! That's were I didn't even know how tears started falling off my eyes! It took me a while before getting into anime again, cuz I needed more of samurai champloo!
Can we get the version with the vocals at the beginning too. :)
That's the best one and to me the greatest ending to a anime of all time
What are you talking about? Can you link me?
Nvm
When you realized the English dub voice of Mugen is the same as Spike from cowboy bebop lol
Japanese Mugen is Zoro.
Also Tom from Toonami lmao
Jiraiya is the dutch trader and the third hokage is the old Yakuza boss in the show.
On my first trip to Japan, I stayed in an older than old ryokan in Kyoto located in Ishibe-koji (a section of Gion). I quietly played this song while we set up for the night in our yukata on our tatami mats, the room'd paper windows carefully slid open for a bit of air as a few late-night folks hushingly walked by along the cobblestone streets. It was incredibly peaceful and lovely. If you have a chance to visit Japan, please do. As fun as Tokyo can be, Kyoto has so much ancient allure.

This ending is truly perfect. There are only two animated parts: the beginning and ending of the song, which are cemented as the present. The rest of the song are stills that dont quite paint a full picture but rather the emotions that Fuu felt. This serves a second purpose as a simple, beautiful backdrop that doesnt pull us away from the song. The song is the core of this ending, not the animation or story it's telling, and the creators recognized that by putting it on the front stage. The lyrics for this song are...poetic to say the very least. Look them up, they fit the song perfectly, they paint a story of a loved one leaving. Its descriptive and you might think it was written just for this ending.
More on the narrative: Fuu starts the ending by looking at the ocean, crying as she's overwhelmed by emotion, where we see her childhood memories, bits and pieces of her life that she clearly remembers but also blurry memories of her dad, where he's obscured. At the end of the ending, Fuu is looking downwards and we see her from behind; the light from the horizon is no longer on her. All her memories were vibrant and bright, but now she's alone in the dark. We've now seen everything she's seen, its a painful and a heavy burden that she has to carry. Notice that the song doesnt end, it continues as everything fades out. She doesn't move on.
I wouldn't hesitate to call this a masterpiece in every single way. Truly its a work of art that makes you feel. Thank you for reading.
Thank you for the Ted Talk man.
But seriously this is a really neat perspective, good job
@@atomicfireball2302 thank you lol. Id like to do a full video on it but im just not one of those youtubers
What makes it even better is that it's not used in the final episode. She's finally moved on.
RIP Nujabes
Samurai champloo literally did the lo fi hip hop beats to chill and study to before it was cool a decade and a half ago
Nujabes*
@@roni5326 yeah I mean there were some other contemporaries doing similar things but nujabes was just unbelievable. RIP. I'll listen to newer stuff from time to time but it just doesn't hit that same spot. OP, check out nujabes discography, plenty of bangers that weren't part of this show.
@@fergar0206 what are you even talking about, back then this was just called hip-hop, not lofi-hip hop
@@dffgffffffdddddddddd Yeah, just because something has a hip-hop beat and is from Japan and/or Japanese aesthetic dosen't mean it's "muh lofi."
Definitley one of the pioneers of the genre.
Seba Jun really did his things on this album and his other work.
This ending focuses primarily on Fuu and potentially her parents as well. If second and third seasons of this anime were ever planned, perhaps the endings for those two seasons would focus on Jin and Mugen in addition to their own parents also.
2000 was at there peak
Those days are gone forever.
Best Anime Ending of all time 🔥🔥🔥
probably is as well, cant think of many ohters tbf.
Hunter x Hunter ed was pretty lethal tho.
and naruto "wind"
Legendary for sure
*Laughs in lost in paradise and every fma:b ed* lmao but on a real note this is a legendary Ed for sure. Definitely top tier
I envy anyone who gets to experience this amazing show for the first time
Me but I was very sad when it finished
yes I
This ending makes me feel sad
Same
Yeah, melancholy and nostalgia are definitely present
this makes my heart hurt -- but in the good way
Ms. Ingno same 😢
Me to
Best anime tbh other than yu yu hasusho and bebop and hunter x hunter this one really made me fall in lov wit Japanese culture
This one of the few anime that actually feels "Japanese"
@@urmomisurdad5422 Crazy too considering it's an anime that distinctly borrows so much imagery from hip hop, a largely western based subculture. Just goes to show how lacking Japanese animation is in being truthful to itself. Satashi Kon was the only guy really doing anime that consistently looked Japanese and hes gone now.
Jon M actually it borrowed LoFi which was created by nujabes lol
You’re a man of culture
Watch Gintama lmao it's the most Japanese thing ever
Maaannn my teenage years🥹🥹🥹 I miss this so much
That background music is just too relaxing
Not only relaxing, but soporific!!😴
Funimation is the true MVP for putting this out. Samurai Champloo is so legendary in it's own way and we wouldn't get music like this if it wasn't for Nujabes. Major respect. Salute!
This was the smoothest anime I've ever seen
I love the dark mysterious melancholy red skies at the beginning with her staring out in the distance as the ocean crawls in the background. Such a powerful vibe.
Flowers in the Spring , Dance within the sunshine
Summer in Uji, Where all the fields are almost arabesque
Full moon of Autumn, At times like these we celebrate a while
As Winter time passes Again, we count the days ahead
I'll never forget all the summer days with you
I still can see when we gazed into the blue sky
At that time it felt so warm when holding you
While picking up a flower
It seemed like time flew away
And now I look to the past
Memories will come my way...
As I follow your path
I know it will show the way...
Flowers in the Spring , Dance within the sunshine
Summer in Uji, Where all the fields are almost arabesque
Full moon of Autumn, At times like these we celebrate a while
As Winter time passes Again, we count the days ahead
Each time the dawn arrives it means we'll leave again
Now our fantasy becomes a distant dream
Whenever it would seem as if the light you chased won't lead you back again
Just remember the time when you embraced me
and the warm summer breeze
Probably the best ending ever.
Not probably. THE best!
It's a 8pm, you just finished eating dinner. You then take a shower, after being cleaned in your comfortable clothes, you then turn on your tv. It switch the channel to Adult Swim, a Family Guy episode just ended, and now you're watching Samurai Champloo. After the episode, you get ready to go to bed with the tv still on, playing the outro song. You turn off your tv, and now you're sleeping. Goodnight
Every now and then I have to come back and rewatch this masterpiece...
Just finished this anime and man it was a breath of fresh air, Their journeys were really enjoyable and I love how they would stray from the plot and have episodes with like baseball or something else. It had comedy, some interesting episodes and when it had to get serious it definitely got serious, Great show.
The Mood and tone in the beginning of the beach scene is really strong
One of the best anime ever made right up there with berserk n yuyuhakusho
fax
🥲 this hits best at night travelling at 9: 00 or 10:00 pm yk what i mean
Legendary...
For anybody still breathing air in 2020... no cap 🧢... anime has some of the best music I have ever heard of my life.... REST iN PEACE NUJABES
This ending is very depressing, from the beginning scene to the end scene it's like fuu is on the beach by herself. It makes me think that jin and mugen died and fuu never made it to see the sunflower samurai.. of course this is all an anime series but if you think in a realistic perceptive that's how it really does end.
somehow i think that too back then...thinking that possibility and this depressing ending song...perhaps will become most depressed anime if that happen...kinda down coz it didn't happen,because i like tragic ending...
Man I cant lie this song has a very special place in my heart like "wind" by Akeboshi. Just the mood it sets made me feel like everything was going to be alright at a time in my childhood where it definitely was not. I remember recording it on my flip phone back in late 2006 and it has been my one of my first alarms in the morning ever since right along with "wind".
I used to smoke a blunt and watch this show back in the 2000s and never skipped this.
I remember falling asleep with my tv on sometimes and I would catch the ending outro of samurai champloo. Man hearing this was so heavenly that I thought I was dreaming, Ugh how ive miss those times.
The latter half with that part with sunflower image brought me absolute nostalgia of the time when I watched it in animax just to see the ecchi scene that must have been shown in its ad promo. That's why this is in very good anime outr playlist
Watching this late at night on Adult Swim in, like, 2006. Damn the nostalgia.
0:06 ❤️
This has been my absolute Favorite song for like 10 years now.
I just want to hug Fuu at the end, she looks so sad 😞😢😭
Yes... 🥺
The day I witness a sunset of that magnificence, life will be complete.
This songs composition, the gorgeous visuals and editing is a masterpiece. It makes me feel nostalgic about my own childhood watching this.
the first 8 seconds are out of this world
the feels
Every time this came on after the episode ended, it made me feel very relaxed and happy. It gave me another feeling too, but I can't explain it 😭
This song is beautiful. It's a cry of sadness and longing for days passed, moments of life that can never be held again. 1:10 literally sounds like Minmi is crying. That's raw, human emotion, and it fits the ending perfectly.
This Ending really shows how sensitive and wistful Fuu is inside.
Rare instance where the outro is better than the intro
Every inuyasha ending as well big fella
This outro resonates deeply with me...just provokes so many emotions and memories and just has that mystical vibe....
Just found this anime recently and finished it the other day. Only word I can find to describe it is classic .
This anime had some of the best sound tracks ever
This song makes me sad cause it reminds me when i used to stay up late and watch this on adult swim.
Same
Instantly transports me through fast-paced images of memories in my head of times long gone, the joy, the pain,the activities, everything that was going on in those moments when this outro was playing.
I'll never forget my time watching this show. I'd get to bed by 10 every night in February 2021 of my senior year in college and watch an episode each night. It was a depressing time having all remote classes but those 23 mins each night watching this show under the blankets in my dark room were magical
I remember back in January 2016, when I was listening to anime radio, this song came out and
I loved it soo much that I downloaded the song and watched the anime.
3 years later I still have this song on my phone, and when I listen to it I always repeat it, so I can remember 2016, and how it was the best year of my life
Wait what there's an anime radio?!??
Where have I been lol
Before finishing the anime I always felt nostalgic looking at the pictures in the ending. I loved the song and always found it beautiful, smooth, and calming, it made me feel a certain way so I would never skip it! After finishing the show the ending is even more somber and precious than ever. I've been looking at an album of Fuu's childhood and it's no wonder that sunflowers are so significant to her 💖🌻
Man I wish i went back to the early 2000’s vibe
Damn, why does my heart ache everytime I listen to Shiki No Uta?
daymn i grew up with this song
I never skipped the beginning or ending. This show is part of reason why I do Photography.
This song. The first time I heard it, I liked it, but after learning everything… I lost someone MOST important to me, to truly understand this song.
No cap: full version of this song is even wayyy better and yall better check it
Haven't heard this song in almost a year. Hearing it after a long time brings a tear to my eye. Never gets old.
Nujabes + Samurai Champloo = Best
Such gorgeous animation for its time
Low key would love to see a continuation but this series is soooooo good it doesnt need one
It's sad that we won't see this kind of anime anymore
.....it was soooo great ....vive is Soo original and awesome
The nostalgia! This was something I always love listening to even as a kid.
This song really takes me back
Like one of the three anime endings I actually stuck around for
That first 5 seconds is the reason that I never skipped this ending
So goood and emotional
2 years from now you'll see this
