I remember watching this on Adult Swim way back in 2005. Hard to believe that was over a decade ago. I really enjoyed this series growing up and I had completely forgotten about it until a friend mentioned it to me last summer. I re-watched the whole 26 episode series and fell in love with it all over again. This anime was amazing. I highly recommend watching it all the way through at least once.

Please tell me why people claim this show to be so good cuz I don't see it

[@bear557]

My reason for why Samurai Champloo is in my all time favorites is because of the music and the style the show has: As for how it should've ended, I would hope they banded up together and proceeded on more adventures. I have a hard time finishing anime. I end up feeling that I've lost something... I try to instantly find another anime to fill that void.

Jin travels on his way to wait out those 7 years, Fuu retraces their journey (which can be interpreted as heading back with the old couple at the beginning who said they'd always be there for her), and Mugen kinda has a more ambiguous end but there's a lot of symbolism you can read into like him staring off at the sea

[@lulul0l039]

@@DingedDragon Kinda reminds me how Sony didn't want Ellie in the Cover of Last of us. Journey was about her and while she might seem like passive girl who needs rescueing, she was suprisingly active and brave for her lack of fighting ability. She weren't one time wonder for saving Mugen's and Jin's asses, knocking out patron in the brothel run by honorless Yakuza gang and proceeds to escape from it with another girl, drawing out her blade trying ward of attackers, getting tied and beat up and talks back to her capturers *despite knowing she had left companions for good*. She wasn't all-bark-no-bite, or simple teenaged fanservice character. She did great for 15 year old girl with only special abilities that of very basic swindling and great dice rolling - that she didn't use for her livelihood.

I think Fuu is technically part of the samurai class as her father was a samurai when she was born. Sure, he'd end up rebelling against the Shogunate and lose that status, but by the time he did so she was already a child, hence she might not actually have lost her title.

[@bobdole4916]

Champloo is also a genre of music in Japan. It's a branch of hip-hop noted for its more mellow and chill vibe - and yes, it emphasizes blending elements from other genres into hip-hop. The music of the show is a pretty good representation of the genre.

[@Rory695]

it felt too abruptly ended for me too

[@spian]

This is implied by Watanabe in the show itself he hints it out. In the episode "Bogus Booty" the shogunates right hand mans daughter said "Ill find him once our journeys come to an end" or something along those lines, and she does have the ability and power to track him down. So its implied that Mugens future will be with her as he was obsessed with her. There are other things implied for Jin for that woman he saved that he was in love with. Im not sure but I would have to check I believe he knows where she is going or says something to her as he pushes her boat away and she thanks him. Fuus I forgot I have to watch it again its been awhile. She may not even have anything implied it may be she just continues traveling in a sense. Im a little crusty on my Champloo

For me, when they separated at the end it was reminiscent of early in the series when they went down separate paths or tried to split fate always brought them back together. So they did it knowing they would see each other again. Or in the final ending separation they truly didn't meet back up and it was symbolic that they had achieved that part of their destiny. Either way I think the separation was the best and most poetic ending.

+lessoriginal Fuu is an interesting character sorry if you felt I was being neglectful towards her, I didn’t want to spoil too much about her story, as samploo does revolve around her. It wasn’t easy to find all this information but we do miss some here and there, the time of the video was also a factor. Wasn’t intending to be weird bro ;)

[@mrdiabetes2294]

though fuu herself isn't a samurai it is stated that her father is. even the assassin at the end of the show says she has the right to take her on life because shes the daughter of a samurai.. she does cary a tanto/wakisahi as well so wouldn't she be deemed as a samurai? decent video though it was enjoyable but that part tripped me up.

[@wackywoohoopizzaman0173]

@@mrdiabetes2294 fuu carries a tanto a the sizes of the swords go from zanboto, odachi/nodachi, katana/tachi, wakizashi, and then tanto miyamoto musashi used a single wakizashi as his actual sword aside from his extremely large paddle bokken and his dual bokken there are a lot more swords that fall under kendo and iaido then what people inherently think whenever they hear katana they think weeaboos and samurai not expert swordsman then there are the twat waffles who are just borderline racist to anything japanese in terms of weaponry

In retrospec, this was an awesome anime, and a very unique and memorable style

The prayer beads are something I didn't notice until now. No wonder he could identify the Buddhist amulet that Sara had. It gives Jin another layer of depth to his character.

[@BonzoDrummer]

This is an absolute classic, criminally unknown and underappreciated.

[@randomstuff5115]

It’s so cool to see how this channel has changed over time. Keep up the great work!

[@OYSTERPERPETUALS]

I just wish it could've been longer. I was SO UPSET when I finished it.

[@racheldesir6612]

Okuru the character resembling a Native American in episodes 16,17 gives us the ending without us even knowing. Although at the moment it seems like he is giving her advice to simply rejoin Jin and Mugen- he is honestly giving validity and substance to the reasoning as to why it is best for them ( after finding the "samurai that smells like sunflowers") to go their own ways. As stated by the Okuru when Fuu is lamenting that she doesn't want to continue the journey with Jin and Mugen Okuru states: "Once you have traveled with someone, they become like brothers so you never are alone in this world" So even if they separate at the end- they will never be alone. To add, Okuru himself states that even if his wife and child are dead- they will always be "with him" thus adding to the belief that once you have traveled or spent time with someone although they are longer physically there, their presence will always leave an impact on you - thus poetically - them never leaving you and you are never really alone. Man, I love this anime!

[@dannastarr2002]

Samurai Champloo is one of my favorites as is Cowboy Bebop. I can watch it over and over. I do wish the final scene had been that they walked off together. Thank you for the insight into this unique anime.

[@omoleakinyemi6231]

Anime Balls Deep!!! I like your very detailed and eloquent observation and compiling of the nitty gritty of both small and large details to cover your analysis. Samurai champloo and Naruto/boruto are my anime. Ur the best. Can't wait for more videos.

[@jetovpici]

Great job, thank you for providing further information so I could get more into it as I plan to watch the whole series again. Liked and subscribed for your efforts. Keep it up Sir!

[@jammose6208]

I remember watching this series as a kid about 12-13 years ago and how it made me feel. I had forgotten about it for a while and only just came back to it recently and those feelings and memories came flooding back. It really was and still is an awesome anime that I’ll always hold dear in my heart. Gotta say it makes me sad that it ended and that they didn’t make more seasons.

[@stephenwyatt88]

I think more people should discover this show. It's incredibly underrated. And that music (RIP Nujabes) is one of a kind.

[@professorknight8371]

This makes so much sense!! Two of my favorite animes were produced by a failing studio

[@daywalkerin]

Hey, I just wanted to say that I really liked this video because you were investigating the matter deeply and giving us a lot of facts and background information! Very different to other "facts videos"! Thank you very much :)

[@sanjidhossin591]

Music - great Story- great Art style- great Action- great Every thing about this anime is great

[@ThePS3monkey]

The music is what I love most about it, over all the show was one of the best I seen in a long time and it helped to keep my interest into Anime.

Seriously what is the #2 slide song. I need to know.

[@kenjibrown410]

Great Vid! I learned a few new facts about one of my favorite anime, thanks for the upload! On a side note there was a time in Feudal Japan where "Conscripted citizens" could prove themselves on the battlefield and join the Samurai class (as motivation). But they often lacked the training necessary to succeed, were commonly on the front lines and seldom survived their first battle, or in some cases, became the victim of their frustrated superior.

Didn't this anime inspire the boondocks?

[@louisroguish9602]

That's what I was thinking

[@nobodynobody8912]

I really hope this is a joke...The Boondocks used to be a comic strip in the news paper...Way before Samurai Champloo was created

[@animock3051]

Nobody Nobody I'm pretty sure he meant it inspired fight scenes. It inspired the kickball episode.

[@nobodynobody8912]

I wouldn't bet on it, there are a lot of ignorant people on the internet these days. Glad you still have faith though.
