Set in a Schizo Tech version of something that may or may not be feudal Japan, the story revolves around the titular character (played by Samuel L. Jackson) and his quest to avenge his father's death by defeating the strongest warrior in the world. The idea goes that whoever wears the "Number One Headband" is the unquestioned biggest badass on Earth, but he or she can only be challenged by the person with the Number Two band — which is, at the moment, Afro. Making Afro's life a lot more complicated is the fact that any regular schlub can challenge for the Number Two and with it, the right to try for the big prize.The five-episode series premiered in North America and aired between January 4, 2007 and February 1, 2007 on Paramount Network (then known as Spike TV). The sequel movie, titled "Afro Samurai: Resurrection", premiered on January 25, 2009. Tired of all the killing, Afro has retreated away from the world. Unfortunately, Kuma and his sister, Sio, find him and take the Number One Headband. Sio plans to resurrect Afro's father, and force Afro to fight him to atone for all the lives he's ended. Afro must once again find the Number Two Headband, to earn the right to challenge her before she's able to do so.There's also a ten-chapter manga version. It uses elements, characters, and events from both movies, while changing many things. According to the creator, it's the closest to the original doujinshi the series is based on. It was released in two volumes between 2008 and 2009 published by Tor Books and Seven Seas Entertainment. The manga went out of print for years until 2022 when Titan Comics picked up the license and has since rereleased them under a "director's cut".A video game adaptation of the first season was released in February of 2009. An Interquel starring Kuma tiled Afro Samurai 2: Revenge of Kuma was released late in 2015 as an episodic game, but was later cancelled by its publisher after a string of poor reviews.Not to be confused with flash game developer Afro Ninja.

Headphones Equal Isolation
 Afro Samurai / int_10a262e4
comment
Headphones Equal Isolation: Brother Three of the Empty Seven wears headphones throughout the entire series, and sits with his back to the rest of the group when they're all shown together. He serves Afro food and tea when he arrives at their lair, and is the only one to survive, possibly implying he knew they'd fail and wanted no part of it. In addition, while serving the tea, he simply says "Headband, please," in Japanese, rather than fight him. During the game, he appears in one scene, kisses his hand, thumps his chest, and gives Afro the peace sign while walking out.

comment
Parrying Bullets: Evident in the first 5 minutes, and endemic throughout. Bullets are cleaved; memorably, the title character cleaves a bullet, and the shrapnel kills several of his opponents, leaving him unharmed. Upon seeing this, the man who tried to shoot Afro quite rightly says "What the...that's impossible!"

Does This Remind You of Anything?
 Afro Samurai / int_14ed6ab7
comment
Does This Remind You of Anything?: One of the Afro Droid's weapons is a very... suggestively-shaped laser cannon. As it charges, Ninja Ninja states "we came all this way just to stare down the barrel of that thing?" After he fires it, he states ecstatically: "That felt good." And then it goes flaccid, and then Ninja Ninja states "I think he blew his load".

Adaptational Villainy: This game has Afro be directly responsible for the massacre at the dojo, as it's done in revenge by the Daimyo's men after Afro butchered him and several of his men (with no provocation). In the manga and anime it's more incidental (as men hunt the N.2 headband without Afro needing to do anything).

Victor Steals Insignia: The Number One Headband certifies you as the best fighter in the world, and the Number Two Headband certifies you as the only person allowed to challenge for the Number One Headband. Obtaining either, therefore, requires you to fight whoever's wearing it, kill them, and take the headband from their corpse. A flashback in the first episode shows Afro's father being killed for the Number One Headband, right in front of Afro; the series itself revolves around Afro trying to avenge him father and claim the Number One Headband while fending off the countless people trying to take the Number Two Headband from him.

Crapsack World: According to Tomoe, the world descended into chaos after Afro slew Justice and failed to use the headband to exert his authority and things became even worse than they already were. Before Afro's seclusion, men supposedly only killed to obtain the headbands as part of the competition and now they killed each other for the joy of killing.

Honor Before Reason: Zig-zagged. Everyone in the whole world totally adheres to these rules: whomever wears the Number 1 headband cannot be challenged by anyone, except by the one who possesses the Number 2 headband, and anyone can challenge the wearer of the Number 2 headband. All honor is thrown out the window in regards to attacking the Number 2, and every possible dirty trick is encouraged. Anyone who's wearing the Number 2 will be constantly outnumbered and outgunned as a result.

Adaptational Alternate Ending: Much like the Manga, Justice is already dead by time Afro meets him. Instead of going into despair though, Afro is instead forced to deal with his mental demons, facing Justice in his mind. After defeating him, Afro finally comes at peace with himself and his past, and decides to throw both the #1 and #2 headbands away.

Adaptation Distillation: The anime, manga and game are all slightly different, intentionally so. One noticeable example: In the anime and manga, the fight with Kuma takes place after defeating the Empty Seven. In the game, it's inverted. The manga is a mix between the first anime season with a few specific parts of Resurrection thrown in.

Gotta Catch 'Em All: Justice reveals that the reason the Headband Wars are never-ending is that to attain true divine power, the Number One must have ALL of the headbands in their possession and there are more than just the two that everyone thinks exist. Since the new Number One understandably chooses to dump their former rank immediately after attaining their new one, they're unfailingly without the missing piece they need to ascend to godhood when they make their way to the top of Mt. Shumi and uncover the secrets (and the other headbands) within. Jinno (and whoever rebuilt him) has apparently caught on to this condition by the time of the Distant Finale, wrapping his new cybernetic body in the other headbands in preparation for his rematch with Afro.

The Faceless: Tomoe - Her real, pre-cyborg face is never seen - In all the flashbacks and the Sio's photograph, it's always either hidden by her hat or a glare on the screen. Almost. We do get an unobstructed view of her face when Afro has his series of still-image flashbacks before taking her and the rest of Sio's Quirky Miniboss Squad on at the ruins of the swordsmen's school—she's the woman with the shamisen and green kimono. However, we never, ever see her open eyes at any point.

Gainax Ending: After Afro "kills" Justice he goes into an almost depressive catatonic state and only snaps back to his sense after killing a now grown up Kotaro. It turns out years have gone by in the meanwhile and the world has fallen to chaos due to Afro's failure to maintain balance the way Justice did before him. The series ends with Afro finally finding a new purpose to set order to the world once more.

Almost. We do get an unobstructed view of her face when Afro has his series of still-image flashbacks before taking her and the rest of Sio's Quirky Miniboss Squad on at the ruins of the swordsmen's school—she's the woman with the shamisen and green kimono. However, we never, ever see her open eyes at any point.

The Perils of Being the Best
 Afro Samurai / int_958ffe8c
comment
The Perils of Being the Best: Zig-Zagged. Whoever holds the #1 headband only needs to worry about #2 challenging them. Whoever carries the #2, however, has to worry about everyone challenging for ownership of it, and those attacks come constantly and ubiquitously. Carrying the #2 headband for any amount of time is virtually a death sentence, and requires one to be a paranoid uber-badass to simply stay alive. In effect, it plays out much like this trope.

Cyborg: Jinno, or at least when he is reintroduced in episodes 3-4. He has certain human parts, like his head, arms, and legs, but has to rely entirely on a mechanical body for his strength, breathing, and possibly his vision. Oh, and it completely erases any sense of morality he had as a human.

The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: It's actually the rule of the headbands: The only one allowed to fight the Number One is the Number Two. Anybody can fight the Number Two though, making them a Doom Magnet. In Resurrection, this rule was subverted when Sio could take the Number One headband from Afro at the start because he wasn't wearing it at the time, even though she didn't have the Number Two required to formally challenge him.

Foreshadowing: In a flashback in the first movie, Jinno explains to Osturu why he uses two swords rather than one. At one point, he says "...and even if I got one of my arms cut off, I'd still be able to fight..." At first, this seems like a Fauxshadow, as he makes it through all of the first movie with both arms. Late in Resurrection, however, he does get one arm cut off, and is in fact able to continue fighting. The fact that Afro is the only one to react to Ninja Ninja hints that he only exists in Afro's head. Except in the movie when a character shoots him with a dart.

We Can Rebuild Him: Jinno was nearly killed the night of the battle at the Bodhi tree. After he stumbled backwards and fell off the cliff, he was found by the Empty Seven, and brought to Dharman to be made into a cyborg. A bit worse in the manga - He still nearly got killed in the fight, but instead got caught in the burning dojo while trying to rescue Afro and the Swordmaster.

Harmful to Minors: The child who would grow up to be Afro Samurai saw his father, at the time the Number One, get decapitated by Justice. The head was then tossed to the ground at his feet and tried to speak. It didn't get much better for him afterward. In Resurrection, Afro cuts down Kotaro's adoptive father right in front of him, with scenes of Justice killing Afro's father flashing as he does so. In his defense, he didn't know the kid was there.

Cycle of Revenge
 Afro Samurai / int_b7042372
comment
Cycle of Revenge: In his quest to kill Justice, who killed his father, Afro kills The Swordmaster to get the #2 headband. This causes Jinno to attempt to kill Afro. Resurrection continues this theme. Not only are all of Sio's actions based on revenge, but in the second major battle, all Afro's opponents have lost a loved one due to Afro's actions. And then there's the hinted-at future of Kotaro, who saw his adoptive father killed by Afro. At the end of Resurrection, Afro, accepting how destiny is going for him, drops the #2 headband in Kotaro's hands and tells him, "Anytime you're ready." Kotaro's case goes further in the manga, near the end of the second volume Kotaro, now an adult, blasts at The Number One's (Afro) fortress and openly states that he is the little boy who saw his father getting killed in front of him, the enraged current Number Two takes on a seemly crazed Afro, it was to no avail as even in a depressive state Afro managed to kill Kotaro, apparently even if Afro didn't really want to fight anymore his skills were still sharp enough that he countered the offender with muscle memory alone.

Volatile Second Tier Position: One of the driving plot points is that owner of the Number Two Headband is the only one who can challenge the owner of the Number One Headband, since having the Number One Headband theoretically makes you the biggest badass in the world. However, anyone can challenge the owner of the Number Two Band, and in fact must do so to get the Number One. As such, the Number Two headband makes Afro a magnet for trouble as soon as he gets it.

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: The headbands that everyone's fighting over; it's never made clear if possessing the Number One actually makes the wearer divine, or if it's just an overhyped strip of cloth with a bloody history behind it.

Failure-to-Save Murder
 Afro Samurai / int_d39a5164
comment
Failure-to-Save Murder: When Kuma calls out Afro for what happened the night their True Companions were slaughtered, he says that Afro is the one who killed them. Though he does this in both the show and the books, Afro didn't actually kill anyone that night except the Sword master. In fact, he wasn't even so much as indirectly responsible for their deaths.

Grooming the Enemy
 Afro Samurai / int_d5a55c7c
comment
Grooming the Enemy: Justice is implied to have indirectly indulged in the trope. Justice challenges Afro to fight him again when he's ready to duel him for revenge. He acts unsurprised at their final meeting before stating he put Afro on the path to revenge and power lust so that he could be strong enough to bring him the Number 2 Headband so that he may obtain true Godhood.

Highly-Visible Ninja
 Afro Samurai / int_d635e82c
comment
Highly-Visible Ninja: Ninja Ninja is loud-mouthed and ridiculously visible (although he's somewhat stealthy in the second episode of Season One, hiding in the rafters of a house), especially considering that he's hanging out with a samurai who kills everyone he meets. But then, he's a hallucination anyway. The manga version hints that he may be something more, as there is a similar character who only Ninja Ninja can see or be seen by.

Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"
 Afro Samurai / int_d7b34c31
comment
Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": We never find out if "Afro" is his real name or simply what everyone calls him because of his hair. Ninja Ninja lampshades it by saying "Who names their kid Afro Samurai anyway?", but a boss in the first video game reacts to the name by stating that's "what they are calling him now", saying it's "uninspired, but accurate."

The Unfettered
 Afro Samurai / int_d839c530
comment
The Unfettered: Revenge is pretty much all that on Afro's mind. Especially evident in the manga version of the series in which a story features Afro using two innocent bystanders (a boy and his handicapped sister later on) as shields to avoid attacks, showing no remorse in causing their deaths. That he killed his master to reclaim the No. 2 further establishes him as one.

Good Smoking, Evil Smoking: Afro frequently smokes cigarettes while Justice loves his cigars. In between the ending of Resurrection and the Distant Finale of the anime's first season, Jinno is revealed to have taken up smoking, even ripping out a piece of his Kuma mask's snout to have a place to chomp down on his cigarettes.

Battle Theme Music
 Afro Samurai / int_e08fcc99
comment
Battle Theme Music: There's a gigantic original soundtrack of rap and hip-hop supervised by none other than the RZA, so there's a lot of variety to the battle music with bosses often getting unique vocal tunes to suit the mood. The boss battle The Daimyo, a Warrior Poet Death Seeker, gets the fitting "Soul of the Samurai" ("If you live by the sword / you must die by the sword...").

Walk It Off: Afro heals by killing people. In Number One Headband, though, he has to pick up Otsuru's bears in order to get his health back - making it much more difficult. It's still possible to heal by killing enemies, but only if you can pull off a perfect decapitation.

Anti-Climax: In volume two of the manga, Afro finally makes it to the top of the mountain, ready to confront Justice. When he finally makes it to him, he attacks and Justice turns to dust and falls apart - Apparently, he'd been dead for quite awhile. Ninja Ninja even remarks that "Afro finally got his revenge, even if it doesn't feel like it."

Sequel Reset: Afro is back to self-doubting his actions even though he made peace with them at the end of the first series, Jinno now has a previously unexplained sister plotting revenge against Afro Samurai, and Ninja Ninja returns even though his entire purpose in the first movie was to be Afro's repressed emotions and his death symbolized Afro finally making peace himself. Heavily lampshaded by Ninja Ninja, who has a hard time believing all of the above and repeatedly mocks Afro over it.
