| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Isn't this episode just perfect? I can't express my feelings, but it's sad and beautiful and philosophic... |
| I just saw the Name Myamoto Musashi isn't it great !!!!! I'm a fan of Musashi!!! Well this serie is great for its referces, although I never represented myself a Musashi like this one ! But Greatest episode ... |
     |
| I have nothing negative to say about this episode. its soooo lovely, and jin's reaction to the old man is priceless! |
| I love every bit of this episode. Musashi reference was pure win! |

| I cant believe Mugen didn't thank Fuu for saving his life. what in A**hole. |
Zepwich said: I cant believe Mugen didn't thank Fuu for saving his life. what in A**hole. My thoughts exactly. I was thinking " Oh here we go he's going to start to appreciate her now and all their bonds will develop". But no, it's just not that sort of story now is it. |
| damn awesome episode and ending... mugen ftw) |
| I think elegy of entrapment 1 & 2 will go down as top favorites for me. Probably top 5 of the series, just really enjoyed them. Weird I thought Jin needed his glasses to see too, lol. |
| Such junk... |
| Ah, another freaking a-m-a-z-i-n-g episode. These two are definitely in my top favourites for this series... But what the? They're against the Imperial Government? Ehh? It can't be for the petty things Mugen listed, right? Hmmm I wonder what the real reason could be~? The music also still astounds me. It's spectacular. Truly awesome anime really are awesome in all aspects - character, plot, animation, music... |
| Wow... this was mindblowing... the best episode so far, this arc raised my score of Samurai Champloo to a 9 |
 |
| I really liked this episode but I'm just a tad bit confused. Who was the child Sara was talking about? Was it Fuu? Also, does Mugen know the person Sara was talking about that used her??? |
 |
| Gov. official using most of the great characters in the story Mugen and Sara fight scene, simply awesome |
Live well - Laugh often - and Love much |
| Best episode of the series so far! (I know I'm getting way ahead of myself, but I would hate to think that Fu's father is somehow behind this) |
 |
| Simply excellent. Now I undestand why this series is so popular, it is completely deserved. |
| Great episode. I can't say anything about it. |
| really impressed with the animation for this ep. Also, a blind assassin? so cliche in Japanese media, but I love it. |
| Simply stunning. It's episodes like this that remind me why I watch anime. |
 |
| Wow! Stunning conclusion to Sara! For a moment I thought we were gonna end up with a bad ending but Jin and Mugen make it through the day, but it was close. Sara was more skilled than either one. I hope we get to see them double team a super-skilled guy before the end! Speaking of which, Sara's last words were that Jin and Mugen are being hunted by the Shogunate itself? Oh man, how'd they piss off him? |
 |
| hmm... i wonder what compelled them to alter the animation style? the transition from episode 20 to 21 was blatantly flayed out to the point where it felt a little hard to grasp. having watched the first half of the Jin-Sara bout in 20 and how fluid their movements were... all i got instead was this awkwardness throughout the entirety of 21. not to say that i didn't enjoy it, but i t could have been THAT much smoother had it not been fiddled with. just pointing out what i gathered -_-" i'm sure Manglobe had their reasons... either that or my vision is entirely to blame OR i'm missing the point completely xP |
| For some reason, the animation was really bad in this otherwise absolutely wonderful episode. |
| Wow... best two episode's ever <3 |
 |
| I'm glad I wasn't the only one that wasn't feeling the animation in this episode but it was still a fantastic episode. Looks like the trio are wanted men. |
| Mugen being badass and aww Fuu, protecting him. |
 |
| Wow. Best two episodes so far! I'm suddenly understanding why people love this anime!! Sara was a great character to add in, even for a short time. |
| The age where pirates dream is over? Eh?! People's dreams…never end!!! - Marshall D. Teach "Blackbeard" (One Piece) |
| jin is beautiful with his glasses off and hair down. more of that goin' on, please. sara was another great side character. i appreciate that in the end she bested both of them and died a tragic but noble and undefeated death. |
| This anime is getting better and better. Sara was a great character. A pity that she discovered the (possible) truth just at the last second (like many manga/anime bosses). And that Musashi... reminded me of Gintama's Musashi. :-D |
| Damn this was an amazing episode she was so strong and that all being used, than finding out her son has already been killed... Damn she was really an amazing character to the story! Great episode! |
 |
| just holy crap man, this episode was just fucking amazing |
 |

| Ok it's the second episode I didn't like. There is no way you can convince me that a blind warrior can win against a skillful samurai. I hated this in Shigurui as well. Also the animation looked much worse. |
| Sara was a great character and probably had some of my most favorite fight scenes in the series (if not having my most favorite fight in the series). A shame about the revelation with her son already being dead. It's almost ironic in the sense that she's always been portrayed as being perceptive, yet because of her unrelenting conviction as an assassin (which makes more sense why she seems so cautious and reserved all the time) she was only able to realize the truth at the point when she found herself becoming more attached to Mugen and the rest of the group. |
| Gorgeous conclusion to the arc. However, facial animation quality is lacking this episode. |
| Powerful eyebrows. |

All the sights, sounds, and... feels of this episode were simply perfection. There's not much else to say. |
 |
| oh my god, this was beautiful, especially the ED song coming in to top it all off |
| Mugen.. thank the girl for saving ur life FFS!!! |
| best episode yet |
| episode 20 and 21 are amazing. I did notice the animation being a little off but didn't pay to much attention to it. It was tough watching both Jin and Mugen being utterly defeated like that. Especially Mugen since Fuu saved his life in the first fight and then Sara held back in the second duel. Mugen didn't thank Fuu because he is a warrior and was ready to die. If that didn't hurt enough he gets his life spared by Sara twice. Yea that was really tough to watch. |

| My favorite arc (?) so far, the animation in the combat especially was amazing. |
 |
| Last two eps were brilliant! Best of the series I think so far |
