| This was a nice episode, especially because nobody was killed. Haha, nobody likes Fuu. |
 |
| Really loved this episode, didn't expect to since it didn't further the series all that much, but was super enjoyable to watch. The professor was great, really tapped into Mugen's spirit :D |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| This episode was funny to me personally. Since, I took Japanese class in grade 11. And the only symbol I remember by the end was no. Just like Mugen. What the hell XD |

| I wasnt aware every episode of this was meant to develop the plot further. Its a wonderful, rambling journey with many themes and some awesome style. |
| Mugen's imagination of nagging Fuu was right on |
 |
| lmao Mugen can read only の xD It seems he's a quick learner though. |
| Fun episode. Supporting greatly the art and style of the series. |
| i lold at Jin trying not to laugh when he found out they were fighting for the chipmunk |
AnimeCrusader said: Well, I agree it hardly has a decent plot but... I think that this is a clever social commentary on how eras are changing. In the Edo era, there were schools for training in the art of the sword, but the disciples of these sword masters are graffiti masters, symolizing the cnahge of people's interest in each passing era. For you guys, this is the exact point of the episode lol |
 |
| Such a nice homage to Tagging & Hip Hop |
| Didn't enjoy this episode since i don't like the hip hop culture |
| fun episode nice that they brought the plot point back that Mugen can't read. |

| Felt like a filler episode but I still don't dislike this side of this anime where rap graffiti etc is being used despite the fact that the plot's been set in an ancient era. It's sometimes amusing to see these two different times clashing with each other. |
 |
| Pretty filler episode but still good. 5/5 |
 |
| I liked the episode in general. Mugen learning how to read was great! However i couldn't help but feel bad for Niwa. Despite the fact that he sacrificed his life to leave the dojo to his sons they let it fall apart completely. Such a highly disrespectful thing kept bothering me. Couldn't really sympathize with them. jacobpaige said: didn't Jin say in the last episode that he wasn't familiar with the west? doesn't this whole episode conflict with that statement? This. |
| Loved the Fashion Designer guy, my dude was hilarious! |

| This was a pretty good episode but one thing I don't get is how did Mugen read Fuus diary in the recap episode if he couldn't read before? |
  |
| he didnt do it tho, it was established there that he can not read. jin read the diary. |
| Objectivity doesn't exist. Subjectivity is an excuse. Beautiful world of online discourse. |
| That was pretty random but fun! I liked it! The graffiti and Mugen learned to read and write and became the graffiti God! XD |
 |
| This episode is not pointless, Mugen finally can read. Pixel_Vapour said: This was a pretty good episode but one thing I don't get is how did Mugen read Fuus diary in the recap episode if he couldn't read before? Jin read it to him. |

| This episode made me smile so much. the best episode so far for me. even though the plot wasn't really that. XD |
| I like that Mugen gets so fired up from someone making fun of him he forces himself to learn how to read. |
 |
| Almost every episode is like a filler, why were some people complaining? That teacher was cool, not gonna lie. |
 |
| Decent episode... |
| I only liked the scenes with that teacher, funny guy. |
 |
| This is the sort of hip hop aesthetic I had expected, and hoped, this series would use more. |
 |
| is it just me who feels really happy for mugen because he learnt how to read? Like how he was trying to hide that he was embarrassed about it and him being really proud of learning how to read in the end was so cute lmao |
| Man, Champloo has been a real mixed bag for me so far. For every awesome episode, like the previous one, we get one that's absolutely retarded like this one. It's not just that it's "filler", as i came into this already expecting an extremely episodic show like Bebob, it's that episodes like this one are so dumb and uninteresting to me. |
| *holding Mugen in a headlock, funneling liquor down his throat* EVERY WORD HAS A SOOOOOOOOOOOOUL |
 |
| Mugen's free natured spirit managed to carry out the task that was beyond the abilities of the strict Jin. That single scene of realisation on his face was the crux of the episode and seemingly flew under the radar of people complaining about this episode being pointless and not progressing the plot. Jin follows most if not all rules in the book, and even though he achieves utmost mastery of the Way, he goes through life mostly unhappy. Yet, that uneducated ruffian that lives for the moment and abides by no rule, is not only content with his life, but continues to prove him wrong about many things, often achieving even the impossible. And to top it off, he's by no means a show-off in terms of sword mastery. I can't wait to see how much that will change Jin by the end of the series. |
  |
| Alright I'm gonna be honest I did not expect those two were into that squirrel lol or whatever that is. And look at Mugen and his infinite symbol. |
 |
| That was hilarious! This series is so ghetto. I love how they incorporated graffiti. Coincidentally, even I know only one letter from Japanese, 'no' XD.(Learnt it from Doraemon when I saw Nobita write his name multiple times throughout the series). That teacher thoXD.He really is a dedicated to teach grammar to anyone. I love how Jin was trying to hold in his laughter when the two men were actually fawning over Momo and not Fuu lmao. |
 |
| Pretty funny. Honorable mention to those two brothers that unlike Mugen (some episodes before) recognize Fuu's beauty (and also her pet's...) |
 |
| It was a funny episode. Poor Fuu always gets things wrong. |

| This is probably my favourite episode across the series. Not too serious, funny and the music was great as always! |
| "The best defence is a good offence" - Kiyoshi Fujino (Prison School EP 11) |
| That false fanservice of Fuu. first in episode 1 with those two bombs, now with momo :P Poor Fuu, a chipmunk chosen over her. |
| The line below is True. The line above is False. |
| It was really funny. The funniest thing was Mugen falling in the river. |
| More entertaining than the previous batch of episodes were, will keep watching. |
