| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Awesum episode!!! Poor Jin, I dont know if I ever could fell in love with a prostitute; I guess never... |
 |
| Poor Jin :( Of all the people to fall in love with, someone who was about to become a prostitute :( Jin FTW... Women's rights also FTW. |
 |
| At the end, they didn't show how you can catch an eel :/ |
| one of the BEST recaps EVER. i love how they did it ~ as diary entries, with commentry from mugen and jin, which made it HILARIOUS!!!!! nothing like other boring recaps! this one was worth rewatching :D made me burst out laughing MANY times. |

| @sugarplumfairy: pretty sure u replied to the wrong topic i absolutely loved this episode. glad to see Jin get some real screen time. kinda wish the husband had died tho. |
| Jin = Win. Nice to see Jin get some screen time, it just concretes how awesome he is. Wicked good episode. |

| I love every second of this episode. |
     |
| Never saw Jin fight without his swords before or at least I don't remember it. I wished that he took her along with him on the journey or start there own. |
 |
| Wow...Jin rocks, even without swords..and I really enjoyed those bug fights hahahahaha so much from crazy Mugen |
| after this ep, i'm actually thinking about putting Jin in my favorite characters list.... he was so cool *_* |
     |
| wow jin has a soft site i like this episode |
 |
| Oh God, this episode ;_; I like it how it uses the historical context to bring theme like divorce or prostitution and to set the plot. Somehow it shows some problems of the period and with one character we can see how it's difficult to be married to an idiot and to not be able to divorce. Also how it's difficult to be forced to prostitution because of the husband retardness. I don't think Jin wanted to get involved with her at first, but he couldn't help compassionate for her. She wanted to commit suicide instead of living a pretty much like slavery life, which is quite understanble, and thanks to Jin she ended up by not giving up all of her hopes. Awesome episode, one of my favorites of all times ;_; |
| best episode so far |
smokes said: best episode so far I totally agree. It was wonderful. |
| What an incredible episode. I totally loved it ♥ ♥ ♥ |
 |
| Excellent episode... Really. It did have a lot of depth and it was just great to watch and everything. The ending was really moving, indeed. I liked the development in the characters' relationships as well... The bond between Jin, Mugen, and Fuu is deeper than one may have thought, and Jin must've really loved Shino enough to let her go off alone to "take back" her life, as she said... And there still was comedy in this episode somehow. XD Which is also great. Mugen and his fighting beetle that he trained. Awesome. |
| IMHO best episode so far. 10/10. We need to see more of jin... he's turning out to be pretty badass. |
 |
| I'm glad Jin helped Shino get away. Jin's awesome :D I also loved Mugen and his "kabuto sumo" LOL xD |
 |
| New Couples: Jin & Shino Mugen & the beetle Fu & ? Very touching episode and very well done. Had a little bit of everything, but at the core was the relationship between Jin and Shino and helping her come to her senses and stand up to that jackass of a husband, and also his decision to let her go and start to live her own life. Definitely worth watching again. |
 |
| This episode made me fall in love with the series. |
| Poor Jin, I feel so sorry for him. |
| @SunSir me too and I think everyone else but the situation here is different. Shino didn't want to be a prostitute to begin with. Just think of the life Shino is going through. Thank God, Mugen back them up, well it's too sad Shino and Jin won't be together in the end |
Live well - Laugh often - and Love much |

| Gotta love Jin for what he does!!! |
| I also loved every second of this episode... Jin rules! |
 |
| Poor jin =[ |
     |
| Easily the best episode of the series so far, Jin was great in this one. |
 |
| Wow, this episode was so good I forgot to update and almost wrote about ep12! Wonderful cathartic tale of unobtainable love between a down-trodden wife and a poor samurai who could never look after her with his lifestyle. Also, Mugen funny as hell with his beetle training regimen! Nice nice nice! |
 |
| Eh why are the best episodes always around the middle and the worst is the last? |
Tinky-Winky said: I didn't like it. Jin and Shino. It felt shallow and whatnot. It was a pain watching Jin losing his cool it's a tad difficult to brand something 'shallow' when you know next to nothing about Jin's motive, personality or past experiences; ultimately basing it on the surface (what you see) is like saying something tastes bad without actually eating it... but i'm sure you knew that on a side note, i'm actually surprised that Kohana survived; there has been almost no 'happy' endings since the show started, it usually ended in tragedy or stalemate... |
| Дзин?! И это произошло с ним?! Никогда бы не подумала, что он может так повести себя) |
| Jin is my favorite in the series :) |
 |
| Jin being the badass that he is |
 |
| definitely one of the best episodes so far. i've never seen an episodic love story that i liked until i watched this one - it was muted, lovely, sincere, and oh man i really felt for jin. |
| Wow! It was really amazing. I have to agree with all people who say that this is the best episode so far. I've been waiting for episode like that. Earlier episodes were great, but most of them were rather light in substance, even if some sad moments were present. This episode was sad, touching and if that was not enough - rainy. I love rainy episodes. Jin for the win. (Mugen with his new pet also amazing, but in other sense) Also: Fuu and Jin? It would be interesting |
| Good to see some episode concerning Jin, quite an interesting story as well though with a sad ending it was still great! |
 |
| I tried like 5 times but I couldn't form a worthy comment. This episode caught me off guard, I didn't really expect a lot from this series. I literally jumped up and cheered, sat down and clenched my fists, laughed out loud, witnessed a "BRO", cursed, grit my teeth, and finally, just felt a bittersweet smile at the end. I'll just agree with all of your comments and rate this a 5/5. Jin, Mugen and Fuu FTW! Samurai Champloo FTW! |
| The last part of this episode is one of the best scenes in Samurai Champloo. After all Jin went through to save Kohana, he decided to let her go at the end. In addition, the background music of the scene "Countless Stars" fits perfectly with the poignant last scene. |
