Afro Samurai - 5 - Justice

[ClaytonLivsey]

So does Afro use absolute power for the cause of peace? And ultimately his dad just wanted to turn a blind eye to the fact that you have to kill everyone with a headband to get peace? And the place that they finally battle in is...a holy place? Some kind of trans-dimensional zone? I don't get it.

[OMGxxJEWS]

At 16:02 he looked like a black Kratos

[knowsnofear]

@OMGxxJEWS hahhaha lol i cn`t belive i missed that

[seyyerin]

ok help here dudes, how did he not die??? the spike was in his head wasn't it? or just his hair?

[wkkimmyyy]

@seyyerin thats when his afro comes in handy, its so big he thought he got his hed but just his afro hair XD

[MrSwaggsofresh]

Lol "Yo Daddy"

[megamind22]

My penis exploded all over my screen

[jteenking]

16:52 made me laugh hard for some reason

[starsky1012]

@TheLedSubmarine Afro and Ninja Ninja represents one person, one warrior. Afro Samurai is the evil and the cold-hearted killer with no feelings while Ninja Ninja is the good and mischievous kind that fears, laugh and whatever. For example, when Afro fought Jinno, he was reluctant to kill him because it's is his childhood friend. But when Ninja Ninja died, all the good he had was destroyed, and Jinno just became a random soldier blocking his path.

[Elektrikkiss]

never have i watched a revenge flick and wanted the lead to die so badly. he sacraficed all of his friends who were basicly like his family just for revenge! selfish bastard!

[DarkShadowTitan]

after finishing katekyo hitman reborn, finishing this show feels kinda awkward-_- just the comparison

[MellowPoet86]

Afro Samurai needs to be put in soul caliber anyone else agree?

[11Chimp]

@MellowPoet86 Too hard core for soul calibur. more like mortal kombat

[RVXDXRKLVN]

@MLMKing888 fury in my eyez/revenge RZA

[Aicirt8]

So in the end the headbands didn't really do anything I guess.

[AnimeGuy9210]

*deep black man voice* You will only die again... That's all I got from this episode O.o



[Kengion]

" You killed Sasuke! " Says the man who sounds like the Naruto one.

[hurricanesofhell]

Little boy: what does reconnect mean?

grandpa: check the dictionary.

*checks dictionary 20:21*

[MLMKing888]

whats the song called starts at 2300?

[Enemynarwhal]

I feel like some of the fights should have been a bit longer and more intense but this really was a great series. The animation may have been slightly on the cheap side but the art itself was incredible. Also thank you for actually uploading this series onto YouTube yourselves. If it wasn't uploaded on here I would have never bothered watching.

[EpicMrFailure]

i used to be a number 2 head band... then i took a big ass earth needle to the head.

[MiLLz830]

21:35 ima ah slicin n dicin

[MiLLz830]

short serious but one of the best !

[chucky493]

bullshit how justice died in like 4 fucking minutes. Fuck you funimation you turned something epic into something thats only great. Applause on the movie though good job.

[jiggz2011]

@chucky493 quit bitching...that was a good ending...this aint dragonball z where the big battle is like 3 episodes long...

[fortal1ty]

@chucky493 this show wasnt meant to have 10 episode long ass fights with bullshit monologing and cutscenes. you dont like it go watch naruto or dragonball z

[yokev100]

they should have more seasons :D

[Goldenboyfoxx]

Still recovering from epicness

[MrWalalaa]

5 episodes is 1 season? are there more episodes??!!

[theauditorefamily]

@MrWalalaa there is a movie

[Cnotzable]

fuck the IAMS dog

[KillerDeke728]

What the fuck is Justice anyway!?

[LeSWIFTY]

@KillerDeke728 a crazy mother fucker

[TheLedSubmarine]

lol

ninja ninja-Afro Samurai

white fro- black fro

ninja- samurai

idk, lol their opposites, even in attitude

[TheLedSubmarine]

ninja nija is imaginary, a metaphor for afros inability to come to terms with his guilt. no, i am not a therapist, i just looked this up on wikipedia. So, in a way, you don't have to be too sad at his death. The writers even said the only evidence of his existence is when hes seen by the brother with binoculars. He even appears without explanation at the end of episode 4. Ninja Ninja always fucks with afro, yet afro literally, does nothing but say shut up.

[artemderev]

this is my fav anime, why is there only 5 episodes :(

[Josephjoel3]

@artemderev Small amount of episodes = high production value

[DoubleUp250]

@artemderev Well, at least there's a movie.

[theauditorefamily]

@DoubleUp250 it's good

[xXR8NDOMXx]

pedobear vs afro samurai lolz

[jct200]

i like when jinno said "you killed sasuke" -.- ahahah naruto... :D

[ZeroTheRaptar]

@jct200

Its actually sasukes voice actor. Forget his name though.

[thatguy4717]

FATALITY

[Cartoonoldies]

Sad when Ninja Ninja died and I find it ironic how those that preach about peace and tranquility are some of the most violent people. When #1s head flopped back, I was mad. That wasn't a good fight, but ol boy is talking. Crazy. Then I got excited when he regenerated. I thought he stabbed his hair. Lol. Sushi anyone?! Really goood.

[wolfspride666]

whats the song at the very end when the teddybear guy

[GamerguideJ]

haha 4:43 an pear computer :)

[GamerguideJ]

Not going to lie but seeing Nija Ninja dies was sad...

[BlackIce131]

this is legendary

[FadingSoulRaiser]

Apple Laptop Rofl

[DiarrheaDELUXE]

I love it when antagonists aren't really evil. Justice just wanted peace, although he wanted to do a more forceful way to acquire it.

[worldends08]

@DiarrheaDELUXE He only wanted peace if it meant he got to rule as "God."; but just like you, I like series that portray a "Gray & Grey" over the usual "Black & White" atmosphere.

[ramprire]

You can't kill justice with a sword

-.-

blow him up or something, then lets see if he can mend himself from ashes

[ramprire]

What about number 1337 and 9001? What about them?!?!

[killaghostface1256]

@ramprire They are no match for.......NUMBA 1!!!!!

[MrJavonnthomas]

@whales FUUCK YOOOOU NINJA SCROLL IS SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITUH DUMB ASS BIYATCH!

[MrJavonnthomas]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOT NINJA NINJA NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[ThedeadMapleoak]

23:58 epic bear man.

[1killinginthenameof]

This show was epic one of my favorite animes out there

[ChillyGotBenched]

Of course the Number 1 had to be someone who uses a Gun in a world where everyone uses swords.

[BossWitHaFAMAS]

@ChillyGotBenched i know right not really fair unless you know how to bullet reflect :/

[whales]

the whole series was one giant rip off of ninja scroll

[Slashbash]

@whales Not really. Fighting bizarre opponents in secestion is a staple of most anime and manga.

[seto8384]

Justice says "I even chuckled when you shed your imaginary friend"

[Seymourian]

Anyone think that Ninja wasn't actually real? I don't think anyone ever interacts with him. Maybe it was Afro's way of coping with all the losses. Notice how Ninja showed up right after Afro lost everybody. Then like Chao said it symbolizes the last of his humanity he tried to hold onto.

[ThePageofCups]

@Seymourian It's a purposefully vague part of the story. It's pretty much accepted that Ninja Ninja is imaginary, though.

[sirshmooppy]

@Seymourian its ment to be the place where he dumps his emotions besides hate and rage at after he becomes the #2 ninja is basically there saying he could give it up all this time and just take back his emotions after ninja ninja dies afro has forsworn his emotions

[MrTrevion20]

I just felt i should say.

Might,Anger,Negativity

just spells M.A.N D:

[009sage]

justice got slashed to hell , highland ain't got shit on afro.....americans

[99Drema99]

How. The fuck. Did afro come back alive at the end... someone explain that shit for me. Please and thank you.

[ThePageofCups]

@99Drema99 Never died. Presumably Justice missed.

Sidenote: It's "Jinno," people, not "Gino." It's short for Jinnosuke.

[Moh5Itachi1]

@99Drema99 It pierced his fro not his head.

[sirshmooppy]

@99Drema99 its assumed that it gets his afro and the top of his scalp

[jonpasabbadon]

wtf is it okiku the ninja assasin or is it otsuru ? o.o

[clxfairy]

@jonpasabbadon Okiko is and older version of Otsuru

[shadowandsonic638]

And now to find and watch the movie



[bongybongsta]

dude im like wow, fuckin awesome

[bliinxta]

D OOOOOOOOOOO PE

[epps760]

It hurts to see people care so much about color. I have an afro and ill be a samurai if i want to.

[Wooz444]

I've loved the art value in this series.

Seriously. Great Great art.

[jwarren672]

@Wooz444 thats japan for ya

[hurricanesofhell]

@Wooz444 Yeah :p

[dannyg846]

what's up with gunslinging freddy couger??!! Really!?!

[ZinXlX]

kinda not too thrilled with the ending, I mean he had to go through all that killing to become number 1 and be god but the question is.... wth kind of a god is a number 1 ? seems like it makes ya not die from old age (big whooop...) and makes ya sit around on top of the mountain for the rest of your godly life (until someone chops ur head off) which is rather boring. Only thing I found that was a plus is the ability to see everything...

[99Drema99]

@ZinXlX Yo, he's like level 15th prestige in COD on his godly mountain, so watch ya mouth fool, ya dig?

[KingUniverso]

Where does he keep getting a new sheath from?

[nightwolf070770]

I dont get it Who does the afro samurai bone if the liddo girl died?

[brodyluvsthrash]

@nightwolf070770 The Empty Seven Clan brought back both the little girl and Gino. At about 5:38 you'll see Brother 6 carrying the little girl in one of Gino's flashbacks. And if you noticed in episode 4, she was killed by a cut down her back and you can see the scar from it on her in episode 2 I believe.

[99Drema99]

@nightwolf070770 you don't pay attention ya fuckin fool.

[kugashira101]

@devilledevil98 shut the fuck up. Keep your ignorance to yourself and your worthless household

[TheColdKidd]

Wack That MotherFucker. ! LOOL

[707zacbuster]

Wait so Afro's funny ass sidekick took the hit and died?

[99Drema99]

@707zacbuster DADADADADUMBASS. You stupid inbreed.

[707zacbuster]

@99Drema99 Actually im human, can't say the same about you.....

[kh123]

Why did he have to cut off his d!ck that fking sucks

[JoshJamesification]

Damn, they should all see their doctors for that high blood pressure

[St4ybLunTDD]

the dislike was from #1

[361983200]

There's a lot of symbolism going on in the series. Ninja Ninja serves as Afro's company after losing all his friends and gaining the number 2 headband although he is only Afro's imagination. It deals with a man's journey to number one, revenge, and loneliness.

[Anement]

Even though this Anime was only 5 episodes long, I did enjoy it and I found the artistry behind it beautiful. Well done.

[kbdalcour18]

Why does race matter? Why dont you talk about that teddy bear/life support helmet

[enbilulugugal]

real black swords man in Japan in the olden days : SAKANOUYE NO TAMURAMARO: SEI-I TAI-SHOGUN OF EARLY JAPAN

Of the Black people of early Japan, the most picturesque single figure was Sakanouye no Tamuramaro, a warrior symbolized in Japanese history as a "paragon of military virtues," and a man who has captured the attention of some of the most distinguished scholars of twentieth century America. :

[enbilulugugal]

@enbilulugugal Perhaps the first such scholar to make note of Tamuramaro was Alexander Francis Chamberlain (1865-1914).An anthropologist, Chamberlain was born in Kenninghall, Norfolk, England, and was brought to America as a child. In April 1911 the Journal of Race Development published an essay by Chamberlain entitled "The Contribution of the Negro to Human Civilization." While discussing the African presence in early Asia, Chamberlain stated in an exceptionally frank and matter of fact manne

[KamenRider583]

is it me or does Justice kinda look like Freddy Kurger

[TheKrock01]

dude thats fucked up wat they did to jino

[CaptainFicus]

@TheKrock01 i know right? :(

[samantha34ize]

plz for the love of god do not waste ur money on those non acrd school like keller devry and phoenix university ur d gre will be whorthless u b in debt ur life will b ruin

[ElongatedVowels]

@samantha34ize Um...What does that have to do with this anyways...?

[Dumshitcunts]

the 1Dislike is a KKK wood pecker

[onionknight777]

The one dislike was Justice.

[Chaoyigon]

When Gino killed Ninja Ninja, it was symbolic of him killing Afro's hesitation to fight back; there was a part of him that still thought of Gino as his brother. Ninja Ninja was the embodiment of Afro's somewhat "good side", I guess. But when Ninja Ninja "died", Afro had nothing holding him back, no one to rationalize with. He turned into a heartless killing machine. 

[SAwyerD14]

@Chaoyigon

Jinno

[TensaTotetsu]

@Chaoyigon Its spelled Jino not Gino.

[13eN90]

@Chaoyigon Jinno didnt kill Ninja Ninja, Afro did. "I even chuckled when you shed that imaginary friend of yours." - Justice -- but otherwise your right, Ninja Ninja was what was left of Afro's conscience. The only way he could move forward, was to dead the past.

[Slashbash]

@Chaoyigon He was much worse in the original manga; it just a few chapters, he used an innocent bystander as a meatshield and then used the bystander's wheelchair bound sister for the same purpose. I think the anime did right to tone down the "cold killer" aspect just a little bit.

[scooterboo4]

I am view 8000.

[mrxai658]

moral lesson of the story. the work never stops

[mrxai658]

someone has been getting... never mind -_-

[dratinifan13]

Darth Vader? More like Deadpool.

[iandanna]

Was the guy that had the white hair...Part of him?

[MasterRainwater1]

@iandanna hes the headbands

[iandanna]

Its much more then that.It makes you number 1...Someone or something important made it...So it wouldn't be cheap if EVERYONE was after it.

[WHOYODADA1]

if u were paying attention its wasnt just a cheap bandana to them it was power 2nd afro wanted revenge not just the power or the bandana revenge

[griffinmpable]

@WHOYODADA1 I think he knows dude.......he was being sarcastic.....

[WHOYODADA1]

@griffinmpable idc 

[Undweshild]

[nolungshoodlummir]

mass mudering pothead!

[XxXM4U5TrApXxX]

frotastic!



[dataspace999]

If you watch the box set edition of this short-lived series, the director and writers comment on how Ninja Ninja was two key elements of the Afro Samurai tale:

1. He was a part of Afro's subconcious - a means of pushing himself to keep going no matter how treacherous or filthy his life would become.

2. The writer also exposes the truth behind Ninja Ninja - that he is the embodiment of who Afro would be, had he NOT chosen to follow the path of vengeance and the number two headband. ;)

[ajackson2711]

ninja ninja is afros conscious silly

[1019129114]

[bloodcore94]

they said no one can challenge number 1 unless your number 2.............challenge accepted ﾟ∀ﾟ

[nevermoretree]

We can revive him

We have the techology

O.o

[samantha34ize]

good anime but it kinda stupid there were no black ppl bac k in fuedal jpan. only white most used gun this anime make no sense but it action is good

[eeg10]

@samantha34ize I'm pretty sure historical accuracy was not one of the main goals in this anime...

There were no cyborg teddy bears, afro androids, or rpgs during feudal japan either lol.

[Zentz29]

@samantha34ize It's an anime. You're allowed to break any rules you want...

[KingWithoutaCause]

@samantha34ize You don't care about the cyborg bear, the robot samurai, RPGs, or any of that other shit. But what concerns you is because there are black people? That's cool.

[lionzion22]

@samantha34ize

Actually, there are Chinese paintings of traders most likely from East Africa around those times. Would not be a shocking thing that there might have been African traders in Japan. You see, black people have always had the means to travel too. Shocking isn't it?

[ElongatedVowels]

@samantha34ize Its a fantasy TV show...I don't think it has to be historically accurate. And Japanese people aren't Caucasian...

[Mrhamburgerable]

@samantha34ize acctually there were a couple east african traders in japan so maybe one of then got stuck there. there are alot of situations like that in the world,

[Mariol7]

@samantha34ize There are mechanical machines, a guy with a teddy bear head as life support, RPGs, and other eletronical stuff....

Right its feudal Japan.

[hurricanesofhell]

@vcelerator that was a really fast decapitation 21:35

[SmexiAnimeBoy]

Cool anime, didn't really think the plot was too interesting though.

They just keep killing for headbands?

Not too complicated or anything, the fights were ok though.

[TheLibmaster5000]

NOOOOO! They can't let Ninja Ninja die! He's like the comic relief that has made part of this show epic and awesome AND funny!

[SilentPhenomed]

It's K that this show is short. The best animes, IMO, tend to be short. Elfen Lied, Samurai Champloo, Death note, AFRO SAMURAI....they are all short.....yet amazing...

and look at Naruto and Bleach...and one piece. They're so fucking long that now they turned to shit
