  |
| I like this episode so much! |
 |
| Gino = Darth Vader. I loved this episode. I can't decide between the last episode and this one which is my favorite so far. Still one more left! |
| It seems to me that Gino was over-reacting. |
 |
| Dramaqueen much? o_o |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Epic. |
| Eh. Good episode actually. The master's(previous number 2) voice actor is voiced by the same guy who plays Kratos in the God of War series. That made me laugh. |

| Amazing how this series is able to setup a decent plot in the space of 1 episode :O |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Nice episode with quite a nice back story, up to the final episode! |
 |
| So the unraveling of the "lost everything because the past caught up" samurai, but still nicely delivered. Anyone else starting to think Ninja Ninja is some kind of mental projection? |
 |
| I love this show.. So much |
| Aw, 4 eyes died :( |

 |
| The guy didn't stop crying ever since, Talk about dehydration. Lol I'm starting to think that Ninja Ninja is his imaginary friend. |
| So ninja ninja isn't real, well that explains why he doesn't fight along with Afro |
 |
| Who the hell is that white afro guy anyway? |
 |
| I remember this being my favorite episode/fight in Afro Samurai. Especially like the track that plays when Gino and Afro's duel starts. Man, some of this gore is seriously too over the top for me now. When I first watched this, it was like "DAMN AWESOME!" but now it's just more sickening than anything. But I guess that goes to show how brutal the path of the headband owners is. I might drop my rewatch here, I can't really remember the final battle being anything better than this. |
 |
| Cool backstory. I'm amazed Gino managed to survive even for that long, I guess his "revenge" made that possible. Black_Jack said: It seems to me that Gino was over-reacting. Not sure why you had to spoiler tag that as that was clearly shown in the episode. But yeah Gino is being way to dramatic. |
 |
| That tragic backstory |
| "I just want Afro lol" |
 |
| This really is very much based on Kill Bill haha |
| ~ The world is not beautiful, therefore it is. |
| Best ep until now,i'm so hyped for the next. |
| Even when young, Afro still looked like an old man lol |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| I like how they transition to flashback then back tot he present. Sometimes it's too much but some other time, it's seamless. The backstory itself was better than expected. Afro's hatred is really affecting him though. Even when he's a teenager, he already looked like a middle-aged man. Seems like the nigga black ninja is nothing but Afro's imaginary friend... |
  |
| It seems that Ninja Ninja is his imaginary friend. The backstory was brutal. I think that it was much better than the second episode. Let's see what happens in the next episode. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| A really harsh and heartbreaking backstory again, great episode. |
 |
| my mind kept on telling me that this is a Darth Vader vs Mace Windu fanfic ahaha |
| The story of the protagonist's past, childhood and youth were very well done and had a lot of impact. I also think that that Ninja that accompanies him must be something imaginary that only he sees. |
asdasdsadad |
| This did make some things finaly make sense, but overall there was nothing too spectacular during the whole fight that didn't even end |
| It was a depressing episode. And it seems that Ninja Ninja is an imaginary friend, that's why he's so noisy. The glasses guy was kinda funny, it was quite sad to see him die. |
 |
| This episode was alright imo, I ended up getting kinda bored in some parts but it was alright. I have to bring up Jinno's voice though lol that voice does not match that dude at the end And it turns out Ninja Ninja was all in Afro's head this whole time? I guess that does explain a few things |
 |
| Eps have been pretty lack luster but this ep was extremely good. I think back story scenes are my favorite. |
| Wow, that backstory flashback was sad af No wonder why Afro never smiles, one hell of a trauma that is |
| Joe, Joe Forever.... |
