People are calling Afro’s victory “cheap” don’t know that move was a reference to the Afro Samurai manga. A shogun with a machine gun shows up and Afro uses a woman as a human shield to decapitate him/them both. Really dark. Also really smart. There is rarely any honor in a fight to the death
It’s a shame that it seems the comments have missed the beauty of this scene and fight Shichigoro is an honoured man and warrior,the reason he was taunting and teasing Afro was a thinly veiled masquerade because he knew Afro was what he wasn’t……a cold blooded killer
And yet, in the end, it seems like Afro MADE him murder. Even if by accident/via a dirty trick. I have NO idea what this even is, stumbled upon this video at random but I am ENTHRALLED.
Using the dj as a meat shield was perfect because the dj tried killing afro with the record by giving the green light to the soldeirs with a track. dj voiced by the RZA.
Don't get me wrong, that was one of my favorite aspects of Afro Samurai, but it was literally done like that from start to finish. I just thought there might be room for variety. I know his first journey was essentially a path of bloodshed and revenge but I can't help but think Afro could've developed into a more merciful man after exacting his revenge at least to people who weren't evil like Shichigoro.
All these bandits and novices trying to take the headband. I think Afro and Shichigoro prove that you need more than just a blade. You need Samurai Swagger.
I understand your main point, my point is though it IS fair when you consider the weakness of a chainweapon like that or even projectile weapons. Sure you can attack long range but it's difficult to defend yourself short range and attack long range simultaneously. Besides, he stopped using the chain(and was what you wanted sword vs sword) far before Afro used that cheap means of victory.
personally i think shichigoro is the only dude other than afros dad that could possibly kill him.....if afro didnt use that dirty trick at the end. then again its the fact that afro fights slightly dirty that makes him the better samurai. im not saying hed lose if he fought honarably just fairly like all his other fights....1 on 1...no hideing ,no decieving,fight to the death. then shichigoro would win
brandon roman no he wouldn’t. Afro beat Justice an Android hisself, cyborg Jinno and a whole lot of other mother fuckers. Shichigoro wasn’t ever gonna win.
The reason Afro used those tactics is than He desperately wants to fight #1 and He can't stand the idea of #1 being worthy of wearing The #1 Headband and such scumbag needed to be erased from existence.
Lol @ comments over fairness of fight. Afro is against the odds in here, he is basically being hunted down by all them goons while fighting this Samurai guy and shit including that DJ and using him as a shield just proves how smart of a fighter he is.
Theres the real catch. Afro couldave done that and just beaten goro and taken the headband that way but he was too devoted to following the rule of the headband and his own bloodlust.
That chain is actually a known fighting style, I wouldn't call it cheap especially when compared to Afro using a casualty as a meat shield. But that's just my opinion, I won't say your opinion is wrong :P
Does anyone know the song in the beginning of this video? Not Nappy Afro, the one that plays later in the video, but the one that plays from 1:00 to before they enter the city.
I'd say theyre equal, since shichigoro's chain was not exactly fair either, and given the interferance and setting, there really is no way of knowing who is truly better in complete fairness.
I see what you are saying and perhaps that would be cool. Maybe when he is much older he will develop into that sort of man. Anyway, aren't they working on a season 3? Cause wasn't resurrection considered season 2?
Afro's cool and all but he did do a "punk" move by using the DJ to get to Shichigoro, I really wish that he didn't die, for his adopted son's sake. That's not cool Afro, Shichigoro's words were wise. R.I.P. Shichigoro
yeah wait till u find out that afro is actually killing for the fun of it woops spoiler alert... it was all in his fricking head man.. the anime is nice and all but the way human life is simply portrayed in this anime( no disregard for life) is sad.. play the game and you will understand
This is by far one of my favorite fight scenes in any movie, it’s so beautifully done.

???? Shichigoro was also a serial killer, lol
Reminds me of Musashi Miyamoto, the famous ronin who used tactics like arriving late to anger and offset his opponents to win.
i really wish they make a Afro samurai fighting game cause the parade would be one of perfect fighting levels in it
Ben T. Grimm well.. you have it
Yeah! There is a game.....
@@ronim1447 and there was a sequel game that sucked so hard it was pulled.
damn i hope you got to atleast try the game rest in peace man
I think they already made an Afro samurai game back in 2009
The voice actor of Shichigoro also plays Gaara in Naruto.
He's great
Liam o Brien is the best actor ever bro
I had a feeling I was like is that gaara voice actor
also plays vincent law in ergo proxy
Yasuo
The voice actor that did Shichigoro(Liam O'Brien) is also the guy that did Yasuo from League of Legends!
That's what i thought so, he sounded too similiar
Oromis I knew I had recognized him from somewhere haha
I hear it now lol
I know him as Illidan from World of Warcraft lol

This anime has long fights and good cutscenes

The DJ Pop’s in a Track Called
“Kill All Afro Samurai’s”
The society around Afro has no love for him
@@maat-erovermind5962 cant find it can you send a link
@@gasprices6056 / pause the video when the track is spinning. It has a title on the disk that says such
@@gasprices6056the song’s actually called “Nappy Afro” if this helps 2 months later.
I think that was what made the animation unique personally.
Really demonstrates his single-mindedness to win without honor like that. Like, "screw what you think, I'm here to WIN."
Boy the music is beautiful.
Liam O'Brien was perfect for Shichigoro. No doubt about it.
He played the game regardless of morals. PERIOD
Shichigoro's opening speech is so badass. "You hear me Afro? Dead buddies & orphans"
Sad considering Shichigoro is doing the same thing as Afro's Father. Hiding the Headband away, in order to end the cycle of violence.
I like this anime because of the beautiful art, good story, and lack of characters with forms and special moves
This is one of the best sword fight I have ever seen.
All these bandits and novices trying to take the headband. I think Afro and Shichigoro prove that you need more than just a blade. You need Samurai Swagger.
great show, great clip
Damn he ain’t have to kill RZA to☠️😂
RZA killing the beats
"Maybe it's time Someone Swatted You....Maybe I feel like i'm the guy to do it"
That's HARDCORE right there Kids
RZA music producer for this. The soundtracks sik.

@@juliandavidhoffer2022 "Barely"
@@screamordie1000 Afro still beat them, and they were all way stronger than Shichigoro.
@@juliandavidhoffer2022 well he was beating Afro here apparently
@@LilXancheX he wasn’t though
ポリコレとか世間が騒ぐ前にあった作品。日本人から見ても、見入ってしまう完成された傑作。
American here: I like AS because of The Punisher mindset, which is something heavily debated about in my side of the world

The voice actor for Shichigoro sounds like Liam O'Brien.
I respect your opinion, but to me, that was the point of Afro Samurai... brutal and realistic killing.
4:09 music plz
0:54 where can i get that song?
This scene made me so mad schichioru was the best character by far can't believe Afro killed him, he was a better person and fighter than Afro!
Super high quality, let me tell you 😂😂😂
Face the wind
I thought Afro was actually gonna let him live, maybe miss his vitals on purpose
Theres the real catch. Afro couldave done that and just beaten goro and taken the headband that way but he was too devoted to following the rule of the headband and his own bloodlust.
1:22 Lmfao xD Random chick getting effed hahahaha
Liam O'brian is so fkn boss
i agree!
no superpowers, byakugans, bankais, or any over complicated shit
Whiskey Fists it’s not complicated your just dumb
3:52 that riposte was such a sight.
One Word: Amazing :)
Shame afro had to kill Shichigoro he was a pretty nice guy.
I'm looking forward to find the song playing at the start of the fight..not Nappy Afro...but the little beat at the very begginning...:)
“You mess with the fro, you got to go.”
-Undercover Brother.
I envy his hair.
@VGAfanatic its because he did jin so well....and even looks like him too!
No clue, but I hope they continue this.
Interesting fight.
The original John Wick .. with the hardest soundtrack
0:56 name of the song please?
Kind of reminds me of the anime sequence in Kill Bill 1
like the BGM
That chain is actually a known fighting style, I wouldn't call it cheap especially when compared to Afro using a casualty as a meat shield. But that's just my opinion, I won't say your opinion is wrong :P
@PCiddy If you're referring to the Japanese-style music, I am still looking for it. Its not Nappy Afro.~
a very valid point
240p "HQ"
It's just like he said. Dead buddies, and Orphans.
Rest in peace
:)
Does anyone know the song in the beginning of this video? Not Nappy Afro, the one that plays later in the video, but the one that plays from 1:00 to before they enter the city.
Boy Jones - nappy afro
If u ask for it.
no the other one, the one before nappy afro
Shichigoro sounds like Garaa from Naruto
i luv liam o brien voice
Is the voice actor Garaa?
I'd say theyre equal, since shichigoro's chain was not exactly fair either, and given the interferance and setting, there really is no way of knowing who is truly better in complete fairness.
two samurais figthing while a girl it's getting fuck meaning that one of them it's gonna get fuck up at the end of the fight
shichigoro plays garra in naruto
I still get busy with my nappy Afro with nappy
GAARA WENT BRAZY AFTER HE LOST SHUKAKU
I'm the girl getting backshots
Shichigoro deserved a better death. Honestly, Afro and Shichi should've paired up after downing the assassins and went on the quest together.
I see what you are saying and perhaps that would be cool. Maybe when he is much older he will develop into that sort of man. Anyway, aren't they working on a season 3? Cause wasn't resurrection considered season 2?
1:20
4:05
YASUO! !!
IKR same voice actor and even looks like him
pixy pjace We need some one who makes a custom skin for him.
did they say what holiday was being celebrated in the episode?
@kingoflightsworn2 Yup. He's Archer.
what is the song playing in the first part of the fight scene?
1:14 reminds me of star wars :D
anyone know the song that plays during the first part of the fight?
@NinjaKasumi01 lol did you find it yet?
all i need is the name, I'm looking for a tab for it
I was wondering if thats Gaara voice lol thanks
Oh. Is that Liam o Brian?
Yes. His voice is fucking badass.
Shichigoro didn't deserve to die :'(
IMO Afro should've just had the sword at his neck and forced him to take off the no.2 headband
I know this is MASSIVELY late, but it's a shame that's not how it works. You can't just give up the headband.
was that fight over a headband?
Ibrahim A. Yes
yes. all of them are.
Afro's cool and all but he did do a "punk" move by using the DJ to get to Shichigoro, I really wish that he didn't die, for his adopted son's sake. That's not cool Afro, Shichigoro's words were wise. R.I.P. Shichigoro
@Dolphidood No I still have not managed to find it. Very disappointing.,
You got the headband. . but what's it all worth
I know this may be late but is that guy the voice of Gaara? Lol
Sayonara
yeah wait till u find out that afro is actually killing for the fun of it woops spoiler alert... it was all in his fricking head man.. the anime is nice and all but the way human life is simply portrayed in this anime( no disregard for life) is sad.. play the game and you will understand
Whats the song when they get to the party?
whats the beat at 4:08
Shichigoro SO CUTE! :DDDDDDDDDDDDD
what song plays from 4:35?? before nappy afro??
Is this battle song on the soundtrack?
Is the voice actor for Gaara playing shichigoro?
Hq...?
this was the sadest part
Am I the only one that thought this fight was kind of sad. Dude was koo.
