I really enjoyed Afro's backstory!

Of course he is coldblooded or almost emotionless, I mean, the guy has seen blood and death since he was a little kid (including loved ones) as well as being part of it. His human side is almost non-existent.

That sex scene was laughable. This show sucks so far. Maybe it was because I was expecting something along the lines of Samurai Champloo. Not even close.

And as much as I like Samuel L. Jackson, he's just annoying here.

Very predictable and nonsensical episode.
The only thing that keeps me from hitting ALT+F4 are the somewhat bearable flashbacks.

I think Samuel had way too much fun recording his voice.
Then again, I'd be even more annoyed if he only voiced Afro, who has said what? Five words so far?

And it seems this show is actually trying to emulate some of the Champloo's elements, but yeah - it sucks.

Number two headband, number one lady slayer in bed. Afro looks like he literally does not give a fuck anymore. And after what he's done as a kid, I couldn't even blame him. Looking forward to the next big battle, it completely escaped my mind until now. LOL @ the afro ninja, he's like a Boondocks character.

Poor Afro, now losing his lady friend from back when he was a kid.
RIP Otsuru.

Anyway, was good seeing a bit of Afro's memories and how he was "trained" and ultimately deciding to go down a bloody path.

Also Ninja Ninja saying to Afro: "Cmon now CONFESS, you wanna hit that booty" that made me laugh :D

So ninja-ninja and Afro are the same person? Either that or he's a REALLY good ninja who no one can see xD The banter is good. Want to see more action still, first episode was more violent.

I just realized that she's Otsuru from Afro's flashback... This fact just made that sex scene really awkward... She didn't die a virgin though!

This episode was a bit weak. I think that this flashback is too long. It needs to be cut in half and to be shown in episode 1 and 2. Ninja Ninja is a very talkative lmao.

I think he did care by the fact that he called out to her before she got killed. He may have planned on escaping with her. As far as his reaction to her death afterwards, I think he was just trying to be strong. As he learned in his childhood, he has to keep his emotions under control to defeat someone as ruthless as Number One.
