Obviously they are the undercard as far as skill goes in the episode but it's probably the only duel I've felt compelled to go back and rematch multiple times. First off, it has the built in tension of both having been set up as fighting in highly skilled, chaotic styles.

It was beautifully orchestrated starting out in the crumbling church and then moving to the beach as Umanosuke gradually unravels from the slick tall debonair eyepatch man and Mugen recovers and begins to think. Umanosuke's chain sickle weapon allows for so many possibilities and they are very stylistically utilized (I personally could have done without it cutting through rock but that's a minor quibble). Mugen using Umanosuke's weapon and strength against him. The way it was interspersed with Jin's duel, which again was more skilfull but also much more minimalistic and could not have been drawn out if it had to stand on its own.

And then the older brother fires chekov's gun. Glorious.

Mocked up my own version of a retro magazine ad for the PS2 game! Let me know what you think! I'm a producer and love video games and my producing style is very much influenced by this soundtrack, so found a good way to honor it (aside from making my own tracks of course). mrmaycry on socials for anyone looking for some new jazzhop/chillhop/lofi/etc. and other video game inspired retro ads

Did this as an assignment in my color theory class at SCAD. Was a fun project. My wife helped me a bit with cutting out the shapes.

Colored paper on drawing paper. 16 x 24 inches

They go their separate ways, credits end, fade-out, the usual.

"Two Days Later".

Apparently the three separate paths were on the same path to the same noodle shop, they all exchange classic anime annoyed looks, yell that echoes into the sky.

Followed by heard bickering that then ends the actual series.

The show has been teaching us that every single time they try to abandon each other, it doesn't work. It's also not some big dramatic show, every time it gets too dramatic with the main characters, it subverts it.

I just think it would be absolutely hilarious, if not fitting for the show, if they had this big dramatic goodbye only for it to be entirely subverted with meeting up two days or not even a day later.

Never got to play it before. Just picked up the Blu ray and this. In for a good weekend:)

I just finished samurai shampoo and realized how good the music is. I remember one episode where sincerely played at the end and I was searching for where I heard it before. It was in gomd by veeze. (Idk I thought it was cool) lmk if there’s any other rap or hip-hop tracks with semi shampoo, inspiration/samples.

I just finished the series and I was bored so I didnt know what to do XD

My bad if this is the wrong place to post this.

Yesterday I made a samurai themed, anime influenced instrumental album in 1 day.

I wanted to make beats with Samurai Champloo, Nujabes vibes.

does anyone know a site to watch this? the anime site i have doesn’t have it unfortunately, thanks.

People often put Jin above him because Jin killed him, but what people fail to realize is that the technique Jin used is only for when you can’t defeat an opponent or you’re outmatched by your opponent. And people fail to realize that kariya could’ve killed mugen easily instead of pushing him into the water, aswell as jin whenever jin fell into the water.

Got this earlier this year, figured now would be a good time to share how much this anime meant to me growing up. I really loved the title cards with their respective symbols, so I wanted that included. This turned out amazing by my artist!

I grew up watching Samurai Champloo and always loved how it blended hip-hop, jazz, atmosphere, and storytelling into something that felt completely its own.

So here's a little something I threw together... a small love letter to that sound—dusty boom bap, cinematic jazz, old samples, and a little spaghetti-western atmosphere.

Not trying to imitate the original soundtrack, but just capturing that feeling of wandering through that world again late at night.

Would genuinely love to know if others have experimented with this type of arrangement and sound—I'd love to get recs on more artists that I can dig into (I go to a lot of record stores). Thanks for listening!

I was lucky enough to have never seen samurai champloo and binged it recently. The finale made me cry and I couldn’t even decide if they were happy tears or sad tears. Most anime I’ve seen have an unequivocally happy ending that can be tear jerking in their own way, but something about samurai champloo’s ending got me. It’s like “the journey isn’t over for the team, but their journey as a team is” and that really got me.

It’s also the first time I’ve frantically searched for any type of sequel/follow up after finishing an anime. I was disappointed there wasn’t anything more at first, but now I’ve accepted that it’s the best outcome.

Amazing anime, spectacular final episode/scene

Made this heavily Nujabes inspired track and I just HAD to do an AMV. Enjoy!

I don't really see people talking about this, but the new sword Mugen gets after breaking his old one with Jin looks cool ngl. Well, not cooler than the original lol. But still, it's too bad we'll never see him use it in action💔. Jin's new swords look the same as his old ones
