Inuyaka deliberatly lead Jin into the bamboo forest to gain an edge over him. By the end of the series though Jin could have beat this guy even in the bamboo forest. He was just inexperienced in real world fights in the beginning. All his fights before this had been fair fights in a dojo.
the music an epic fights in this series made it the most underrated anime ever. this beats all the other big shot ones, Cowboy Bebop shouldve kept on going, along with Trigun, an Samurai Champloo. All 3 of these should've kept going ):
@Alex2Times Thats what makes it all the better. Cowboy bebop and samurai champloo both made by the same person. i did crave for a little more tho it sucks that they just parted and seperated.
@killertim922 Not necisarily. He was probably just refering to using his suroundings as an advantage. A dojo is equivelant to an arena in samurai standards. In a bamboo forest you can be all like "Bamboo brush in yo face what now?" *Stab*
SOOOO FCKING BADASS when he first attacked at 0:15 the director used the samurai slash as a dj scratch for the background music, this anime is too cool.
Inuyaka knew enough about Jin to think that his ploy at least had a shot, but it's also possible that Inuyaka just wanted Jin to think that he had lured him to the hot tub for sex just to throw Jin off guard (remember that Inuyaka's whole deal was deceiving people into underestimating him depending on Edo-era attitudes, acting gay might be just be another part of his 'act old and cowardly' strategy. There's no way to tell whether Inuyaka thought Jin would go for it. :/
@evilmickey100 Well, Inuyaka was only better than Jin because he haven´t any problems fighting in the woods unlike Jin. Like he admitted, he would probably loose against Jin in a Dojo. Kariya is definatly stronger than Inuyaka but. otherwise Inuyaka is way more badass than Kariya (Inuyaka is most badass guy in the series if you ask me).
Sad that we couldn´t catch a sight of the second meeting that Inuyaka predicted.
@MegaSamurai13 Too bad, he was one of their most memorable enemies in the series. He was so confident and knew exactly what to do to get things done. Not to mention his awareness of everything around him. Would love to see him and Kariya go at it. That would be an epic battle. Preferably in a crowded setting like a forest or in close quarters since Kariya is a much more powerful "dojo" fighter.
Also, as an assassin and practical fighter his style is going to be far more opportunistic. This isn't just environment but also behavior in general. Whatever etiquette Jin's bound by, Inuyaka probably is aware of, ignores and takes advantage of Jin's adherence to it.
In a "Real" fight an enemy will kick at the groin, gouge someone's eyes and do anything else to win.
and the fact that he doesn't get angry or emotional during the fight makes a difference too. many of jin and mugen's enemies' got angry or frustrated during the fight, which is what usually led to their down-fall. this guy would rather put the sword down and have a drink with you than kill you.
this guy is AWESOME... i like his style. he harbors no hatred or ill will towards his enemies, and can just stop fighting and forget about them if it doesn't pay. very interesting...
this assasin is my fav char, hes way mysterious and he acts weak at first. I still wonder what he meant by taunting about it being different than in a dojo was he just trying to pysch him out?
@stirfryman1 using the enviornment to his advantage.Thats y he wanted to fight Jin in the forest, when he back jin against the bamboo,use of the enviornment.Like mugen's style would be useless if he gets put into a tight spot and he would probally get killed if he was put into a situation like that.You can see that in the last episode of the series when he fights against that one crazy guy on that lil boat.
Well who's the better fighter Jin or Kariya? I think Jin due to the fact he defeated him even though he was going for a draw, well I really don't get into it that much, but I always thought of that question.
Jin isn't. The guy he's fighting is. In some pond or whatever they were bathing in and Inuyaka starts talking about how the fireflies around them use the lights to attract females. Then he said "sometimes they try to attract...another male" and he looks at Jin. Who closes his eyes and says, "Time to go."
jin as the best!!!
