Good for him but, that probably dosen't stop everyone else chasing after them, killing each other for the headbands, causing friends and relatives to seek revenge, and who ever they killed for revenge got friends and relatives who want revenge.

For those wondering, in the actual show, Brother 3 (with the headphones) was actually repeating "Hachimaki o kudasai," which is Japanese for "Headband, please." Instead of FIGHTING Afro for the Headband like everyone else, this dude politely asked for it. He was also notably the only one of the Empty Seven not only to be this peaceful in his attempt to get the Headband, but also the only one to still be alive. Afro decided to spare him and ignore his request simply because Brother 3 never wanted to take his life -- and despite his coldness, he didn't want to needlessly kill him either. (Hilariously, Ninja Ninja ate the tea and rice crackers that Brother 3 offered Afro 😂)

Just to give context to him killing Kotaro, the sad/fucked-up fact about it is that he didn't mean to kill him. At all.

And in the manga, Afro is not only a worse demon than in the anime, but he doesn't even get his revenge because Justice was already by the time he found him. So, he murdered and betrayed everyone he ever loved for nothing.

In that fight against Shichiguro, the manga pivots to showing a guy and his disabled sister and their argument about the guy going off to the festival. The guy decides to go even though his sister really doesn't want him to cause she's worried about him, and is there in the middle of the fight between Afro and the discount foot clan, and Afro uses the guy as a human shield and the guy is promptly and violently sliced apart. The guy's DISABLED sister who crawls all the way there grabs Afro's leg crying about how could he do that to her brother, and Afro tosses her out in front of the foot clan's leader (who isn't in the anime) who's firing his minigun just to to draw the guy's fire away, and she's torn apart by minigun fire. There was a scene in the movie you didn't bring up where a disabled group of people who were being cared for by....I think it was Otsuru? They show up because they're angry with Afro and it looks like they want to pick a fight with him because they believe he's responsible for her death, but then get scared and decide not to, and Afro leaves them alone. In the manga, the woman he was with was a random woman who was part of a new cult that worshipped Justice. She was an ex-ninja who didn't want Afro to kill Justice because apparently....Justice had ushered in a new peace? She was caring for the elderly and the infirm in here village, and those guys absolutely adored her because she was so kind to them. Well, when Afro reveals that he's going to try to kill Justice, she decides to attack him and he kills her, then the old people show up, see her corpse and then rush him.....and he kills all the old people, when he really didn't have to since I'm fairly certain he could've just ran and left them.

Wanted to mention that Justice is voiced by Ron Pearlman, you know the voice of a certain member of the black Air Force round table. (Slade, the guy who trolled a team of superpowered teens, repeatedly mindf*cked their leader, and even drugged said leader who was technically a minor on screen. In a kids show. And was the antagonist of a whole episode of arguably the darkest one in the series, all while being dead. The man made a teen play a dark game of ‘why are you hitting yourself’.😳👏😎👍)

In the video game ending, like in the manga, Justice was already dead when Afro found him. However, Afro fought Justice in his mind showing how insane Afro was. During the fight, Justice tells him that Afro choose to get revenge and throwing away his only chance for a normal life. Justice said he fought his father in a one-on-one duel and Afro's anger, obsession, and revenge made Justice, ironically, Afro's God.

[@williedee259]

The game is so underrated.

[@AH-is5yg]

@@williedee259 Wish they gave us the spin off story video game of Jinno. The manga, the anime, and the video game told us different versions of Afro and how he dealt with Justice. The video game had a better story since the real enemy at the end was Afro's obsession and revenge and consequences he caused.

[@williedee259]

I wish the second game was done with the love the first got. Kumas Revenge was aaaaassssss

[@AH-is5yg]

@@williedee259 It would give us a different character besides Afro. See how Kumas' recovering and also training to be Afro's level. I remember Afro's dad tried to tell Afro before he died was not to avenged him, but live his own life. Afro was a tragic character and sadly driven mad that he went through all of this for nothing. I would have like to see Kuma's story after surviving his fight with Afro.

[@Somegoy]

There actually was an African man who traveled to Japan, and became one of the only foreigners to hold the title of samurai gifted from Nobunaga. His name was Yaskue. I also think it's hilarious because he was like 6'2" or so, and the average height of men in Japan at the time was about 5'3" so he was a monster compared to any of them.

The two things that I love about Afro Samurai is: A) The headband doesn’t give the wearer any power or special ability it’s just a piece of cloth B) In the manga Afro just finds Justices corpse at the end meaning everything that he has done was for nothing

[@TeamOneDay]

It's nice that the anime gave Afro the revenge he deserved. If I recall correctly in the manga, Justice basically went off to become a God by having making his own religion with followers, rather than obtaining Godlike powers. When Afro finally confronted and stabbed him, we find out that he was long dead and turned to dust. RIP Kotaro too.

[@flashthompson1085]

When Afro lost the number 1 head band his mission to get it back it was no longer about vengeance. The movie showed Afro's character as more of an antagonist than a hero. Its time that they make Afro the antagonist and put him against adult Kotaro in a movie or three part OVA. It been over 16 years. I think this would be more anticipated than the Junji Ito's Uzumaki that's been delayed over and over.

[@portalplaz]

He killed kotaro in the manga

[@MrHinishiokami]

I don't see him being shown as more of a antagonist in the movie. He was literally chilling and got dragged back into battlefield by jumping him and dragging him down a mountain and stealing his dad.

[@TheGrandmasterfro]

@@MrHinishiokami Well the number 1 headband restored order or so the wearer of it was supposed to. Thats why justice was collecting ALL the headbands. And in the manga, justice created a somewhat stable society before they died and things reset
