| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Not that bad of an episode, but still, the last episode was better. |
| I found this episode to be pretty interesting - it showed a new side to Mugen. |
 ジリティック♡BEGINNER |
| why didn't Jin want to fight this guy too? he has the same motivation as Mugen if the first episode is anything to go by. |
| Because Jin wielding chi would be way more boring than Mugen's lazy but characteristically devious use of it ;) |
 |
| What an epic episode. ^^ |
| Very cool episode. I like that Mugen has a more disciplined side. |
| Such junk... |
| I liked this episode more than the last one. XD I dunno, I just thought it was awesome. I also really liked seeing a Mugen that tries to do something with all his strength -- determined Mugen. |
| A more serious episode, with perfect pacing and set-up. Loved the feeling and the atmosphere, I think Samurai Champloo is finally growing on me. |
 |
| Nice fight :) I wonder how Unko got corrupted though... |
 |
| This episode was one of the best... |
| x3 best ep so far :)... but the lack of plot is kind of disturbing in such a cool anime oh well... |
TiagoCosta said: x3 best ep so far :)... but the lack of plot is kind of disturbing in such a cool anime oh well... I wish there were some more clues of the sunflower samurai. We still know nothing about him nor why Fuu is looking for him. |
| I expected the fight between those two to last short, but... not that short. Seriously, just a few swipes and a final thrust? Nah. |
     |
| Nice one :) It was touching when Jin reminded Mugen that he is the one who is going to kill him... - Lol, that sentence sounds so wrong :D So, Mugen can use chi now? Altrough I like Jin more, I am glad I got to see new side of Mugen. |
| Monk vs Samurai Training mode hehe Mugen counters Shoryuu's wind attack with what? I hope they get the bounty |
Live well - Laugh often - and Love much |
| That was a good episode. Still, Mugen would have lost that match if that hidden knife wasn't with him. |
| Awesome fighting in this episode. It was cool to see Mugen get serious for once. |
 |
| This anime has so many samurai cliches. Its awesome. |
| Woah! I thought that Shouryuu (whateverhisnameis) was an opponent that would need both Mugen and Jin together to take down. I figured that the scene a coupla eps ago when they cut the apples on Fuu's head was an indicator that those two have been sparing together and learning each others moves a bit so they can fight together more effectively. Well, anyways awesome fight, and I loved the monk when he caught the wood block 'Ooh, that's a lively piece of wood' Man, I love it in Kung Fu/Samurai/Ninja stuff when a random old guy just displays incredible speed and you're all like 'Oh ho, somebodies an ancient master ey?' Yesmate! |
 |
| Great episode! Mugen is so much like Spike. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| That fight at the end was so alpha. This show is alpha. Mugen is alpha. |
 |
| Woh great episode kept me in thrills the whole ride! Really nice fight scene I wonder what's next! |
 |
| It was awesome seeing Mugen training like that, he went Zoro mode there for a second lol. Great build up, fight, and conclusion. Jin and Fuu caring about Mugen's well being was the real highlight for me. Though now that Mugen has a range attack, Jin needs a power up too. |
 |
| Great fight. It featured a character development for Mugen. |

| Kinda reminded me of gintama.... anyway solid ep. Good to see some stronger opponents |

Yesmate! All of this. AND I would love for Fuu to put her own sword into action one day... but it's probably not going to happen. :/ |

| one of my favorite episodes. I don't know why some anime viewers need an overall plot to enjoy an anime. In my opinion this anime is about the characters and their crazy situations. Its life or death for mugen and jin every episode and thats what makes it great. Plus the great animation and soundtrack is a bonus. |
| Now I just need to meditate under the waterfall ... Nope not doing that |
 |
| Next seems like Jin's turn to learn new skills |
| wow, awesome episode |
| Finally an awesome episode, the fight are too good in this show ! |
| That's been a quite serious one. Not used to samurai champloo being not about comedy but about martial arts and fight that's been better animated and executed than 50% of every other martial art anime out there. Enjoyed this one. |
 |
| Pretty cool episode. 4/5 |
 |
| Really enjoyed this episode. The fight was cool (although it was decided with a gimmick). The music during the fight was especially awesome. |
| But seriously, what happened to that 10 ryo bounty!? |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| Mugen was so awesome when he defeated that guy and use his own technique against him, I thought it was a really great episode! |
 |
| What in the fuck? we doing some Shadow Warrior shit now! chi and shit |
 |
| Awesome he even used Ukon's technique against him Mugen sure is damn strong I can't to see his past. |
| Mugan's training montage was great. When he get's serious, he's actually p cool. Not as cool as Jin though :P |
 |
| i liked the scene where it wasn’t explicitly shown that he had used some sort of chi. it is up to the viewer to decide and figure it out. however, the sudden knowledge of him acquiring such skill doesn’t sit well with me. you’d think that mugen, who heard of this chi on the whim from the old man, suddenly pulled the technique off at the level of ukon. ah, it is but a fictional show :) |
