It is an absolutely funny, brilliant gem of an episode.


Agreed, that was great.
I can't believe people still say things like "filler" and "pointless" at this point.

-Freeze !
-Wow.
-Who are you?
-Who? Who, who, who, who, who!
-Who are YOU?!
-Uh, oh, America-jin, america-jin.
-Shut up!

That stuff was deadly!

I think that this episode is officially my favorite filler episode of anime ever. I didn't think anything was going to beat those Nanami episodes of Utena but I can't... th-that was too much... I have no words for what I have just witnessed....

This was the first Samurai Champloo episode I ever watched, years ago randomly deciding to watch adult swim. When I recently decided to check out Samurai Champloo, I remembered it as "that one with the baseball episode" and had been waiting for it to show up the entire dang time. Finally 24 episodes in and here it is. I guess in the large picture this episode doesn't add much, but it's what drew me in and as a stand alone episode it does pretty well.

Loved this episode, the Americans speaking english and stuff was hillarious. But something like this to happen on this time period would be impossible, because USA was just an British Colony at this period. But this episode is not to be taken seriously, they did it for the lols :D Good compared to last episode.

now this is how you do an episode completely unrelated to the main story arc and make it freaking AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(needs more exclamation marks)
Knew something big was gonna go down when I realized the "Saw" was narrating. Couldn't stop laughing throughout the whole episode. XD
Some selected howlarious moments-
Saw disguising himself as an American.
"Amen" and what came after that.
Jin's 'death'.
The village leader's death(?) in retrospect.
Mugen's canon(It looked liked Furuya's pitch upped to 100.)

Finally much better than the "Madara Ver-0" in the previous episode.

Its hard to find non-'filler' in the first place with Champloo. You should just accept every episode really, infact, in a weird way this is more 'canon' if you will, than other episodes, because the whole hook behind Champloo is the melding of modern and historic and you cant get more juxtoposition than Americans playing baseball against Japanese.

Champloo was never about a narrative we're meant to follow, and its almost not even like Bebop with characters driving the show. Champloo is just a random remix of Japan itself; past and present. Watanabe has the sense to end the show with character interactions and conflict but we as viewers shouldnt feel bored when they're not on their flimsy 'mission', we're just observers of a unique representation of Japan really.


Quoted for truth. While I will most certainly skip last episode in an eventual rerun of the series, I will not skip this one. Ridiculous and silly? Yes. Pointless? No way. Indeed one of the funniest episodes in Samurai Champloo, but far from the best.


You guys said it.

A baseball episode which ends in the most violent game in history.

The Americans were pricks when they played, and Mugen's too OP at pitching.

This episode almost made me stop watching the show....


So if people don't agree with your level of enjoyment of the episode, they're just fanboys who love anything Champloo-related? Grow up.


That person is just stating how they felt about the episode. No need to be rude by saying "Grow up".

So this is the episode where the infamous "Aruarian Dance" is featured, it's too short!! I was expecting it to be played in the finale.
