Just because Fuu was in the hallucination does not mean that she was having the hallucination. It was from Mugin & Jin's point of view.

I thought it was a pretty lame episode but I like that they managed to get undead into the show!!
Such junk...

Ah, yeah. This episode was a let down after the previous ones that were just pure awesomeness.

I know it had a deeper meaning, as I can see others have outlined it more clearly, but still. It was just an okay episode for me. Somehow it seemed sort of out of place. I dunno. Whatever, onto the last few episodes.

It was... strange. As soon we are hinted they are zombies I figured it would be hallucinations, but it's true we didn't see Fuu eating mushrooms. It's kinda disappointing watching it after the last great arc, but this was not the wors ep, there were 2 episodes I liked less, one being the recent graffiti duel one

This episode bored me and seemed like a fan-response to: What if Mugen, Jin, and Fuu were in a horror film?


Bad idea.

Maybe this was just me, but I was pretty sure that the entire episode was an allegory for Japan's involvement in World War 2.

A crazed ruler from a long-dead, long-obsolete generation battling for hopeless ideals? His oblivious supporters, who gladly KILL THEMSELVES for him? His empty promises? A goddamn MUSHROOM CLOUD, identified as such?


That seems coherent and plausible to me.


I agree ^^

It was all hallucinations caused by the shrooms, I mean mushrooms. For people that say Fuu didnt eat any, Jin explains that mushrooms spread spores (through air) which probably affected Fuu as well. This was a boring episode but it did have hidden meaning which is commendable.

Very trippy episode but I liked it.

I would have prefered an episode adapting on the previous one though...

If you notice, the adventure they had somehow doesn't connect but will lead to the same conclusion.. to begin with finding the person who smell like a sunflower doesn't have any connection at all instead they put in series of events just to make it stay connected

no that just means that if there is one mushroom, there are others nearby

obviously a hallucination, i mean, the freakin episode was called cosmic hallucinations. oh, and the whole WW2 allegory seems kind of far-fetched to me

I thought it was WW2 related and then the mushroom cloud at the end proved that. Pretty clever episode really.

Okaaaaaaaaaaaay.

That...was....erm....different!

A bit too much for late at night, and I fell asleep watching it and had to rewatch it again this afternoon. Hmmm....

Yeah, interesting an all, but a bit too wacky and supernatural for this series. Well, I know weve had a few borderline supernatural (Sara and the ki user in an earlier episode) but nothing so explicitly fantastical such as the walking dead!

Get on with it!

Are we all watching the same show?

Because, with an exception of a few episodes, Samurai Champloo has been pretty random throughout the whole series so far.

I was expecting zombies to show up at sometime during this series. (I don't why.) However, this was too weird for me. The way they animated Shige was awesome though. He was totally creeping me out and moving ultra-realistically, yet in a trippy way. I feel that this episode has more of a disconnect from the storyline than any other episode. As if the episode didn't happen in "real life." Like one of those bonus episodes they stick at the end of a DVD set.

lol nubs, this is similar to the episode in Cowboy Bebop where spike has to deal with the phantom mold from the fridge XD

Yes, it's essentially a filler, but whatever, the makers of the show decided to have fun with their writing. Non essential episode, but just appreciate the humor, don't get all serious up in here.

very interesting episode...i guess to reset the mood of samurai champloo from the previous 2 eps since they were pretty serious?

it seems like it happens a lot...filler-like eps following very serious amazing eps

Idk not really feeling this episode. That was one really messed up hallucination.

And the ending totally caught me off guard! Glad I wasn't watching this at night!

I think they were having a little bit of fun, and I do agree with the WWII allusions. I made the mistake of watching this late at night. How was I supposed to know it'd be about the undead?? And Shige coming out of the grave at the very end of the credits...thoroughly freaked out.

What a weird episode, zombies in this kind of story line? Hmm seemed more like an special or something not something you would put in the main story IMO it just didn't fit, still not a bad episode though! But nothing more than a special filler or some kind!

I found the episode alright. Thought it was unnecessary, but what the hell. Still a good episode, some of you guys need to lighten up.

Best thing about the episode was the ending though, with a guest appearance from Ogami Itto and Daigoro! That was epic :3

I admit this was a rather random approach for the series. But it makes sense to reference the bombings from Nagasaki with the ending. I think this episode is just a canon and they'll probably forget it in the next one.

3/5 at least, for doing something random (zombies lolwut) but bad timing based on what happened with the last episode.

What the fuck just happened? How did Mugen not realize there was something wrong when he gave the arm to the worker as a gift and he attached it just like that! There was no blood! How did the zombies suddenly vanished? How did Mugen & co. managed to escape from the explosion? What the hell Happened in the episode?
It would have been so much better if they had continued the last episode's conspiracy had the lady not died.How did she suddenly realize the son is dead is another mystery!

Well whatever, the episode was pathetic and i'm gonna rate the series a 7/10. I dropped it from 8 to 7 because of this episode.

What an odd episode.
