Samurai Champloo | comment |
Samurai Champloo is an anime series created by Shinichiro Watanabe (of Cowboy Bebop fame) and produced by Manglobe, their first series.The show is set in a Schizo Tech version of Edo period Japan (specifically the Bakumatsu era), featuring elements of action, adventure and comedy blended with a soundtrack predominantly rooted in hip-hop. The animation is often extremely dynamic, with a focus on highly choreographed action sequences.The story begins when three people happen to meet during a brawl at a teahouse: a brash vagabond called Mugen, a stoic Rōnin called Jin, and a young waitress named Fuu. Mugen and Jin are outstanding swordsmen who consider each other Worthy Opponents and just want to duel it out, but Fuu manages to rope them into her own personal quest to find a mysterious samurai who "smells of sunflowers". And so the unlikely trio begin a journey across Japan, encountering dangerous enemies, dark secrets and extreme oddities along the way.Since the three main characters don't care about each other's lives in any meaningful way, they tend to remain entirely oblivious to each other's plotlines over the course of episodes and arcs — often until it's too late. The episodes are typically self-contained, and the show has an extensive cast. Apart from the main trio, though, most characters only appear once or twice; rarely more than three times.The show matches traditional Japanese culture to hip-hop music with a stylized form of samurai swordplay known as chambara, much in the same way Cowboy Bebop married Science Fiction to blues and Jeet Kune Do. Champloo's soundtrack features hip-hop instrumentals by artists such as the late Nujabes, Force of Nature, Tsutchie, and Fat Jon among others. It also features many traditional Japanese songs, accompanied by shamisen music.The world of Samurai Champloo is deliberately anachronistic. Characters' costume design and attitudes, and the show's editing methods reflect heavily towards international hip-hop culture. Mugen fights in a style that resembles both Capoeira and breakdancing. Also, despite its alleged setting in the Edo period (though with a wild mixture of historical events), many of the expressions used by the characters are modern slang or English-influenced.Regarding its storytelling and underlying themes, many elements of the show stem from modern-day insights on the human condition as put through the unyielding taskmaster known as hierarchy, making for a juxtaposed drama comparing how life is not so much different as it was back in the old days. Be it from government corruption, class separation, discrimination, advantageous abuse, and the criminal life, Fuu, Jin, and Mugen come to face some of the more unwholesome aspects of the Tokugawa Era brought to light, all while surviving its strict rules on society.The show's name comes from the Okinawan word "chanpurÅ«" (e.g. goya champuru), which means to mix or blend. Thus, the title may be translated as "Samurai Remix" or "Samurai Mashup", keeping with the series' blended theme.Most likely due to the popularity of Cowboy Bebop, it was licensed for North American distribution by Geneon nearly a year before Fuji TV even aired the show in Japan. The show can now be viewed on Hulu, YouTube, and Netflix. It aired on [adult swim] back in 2004. Reruns aired on [adult swim]'s Toonami in 2016.A 2 volume tie-in manga debuted in ShÅ�nen Ace on August 2004. Tokyopop licensed the manga in an English release in North America and Madman Entertainment lit for an English release in Australia and New Zealand.A PlayStation 2 game, Samurai Champloo: Sidetracked was released after the show aired. It was developed by Suda51's Grasshopper Manufacture, written and directed by Suda himself, and had a plot mostly unrelated to the events of the show outside of characters and mood.For another, darker, take on this theme, see Afro Samurai. | |

Samurai Champloo / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: In his introductory episode, there are a couple of scenes where it looks/sounds like Manzo the Saw is masturbating, but it turns out to be something innocent (i.e. exercising with his unique weapon). This is probably because he's a parody of Hanzo the Razor, who engaged in some unique sexual practices. | |

The Cameo | |
Samurai Champloo / int_1b65dfad | comment |
The Cameo/Take That!: Mugen admits he killed some "weird old guy", who happens to be Mito Komon. Hilarious, if you know the context.note The man Mugen killed was Mito Komon, the star of the longest-running TV show in Japanese history. Though a fictional character, Komon is based on a real person, Tokugawa Ieyasu's grandson Tokugawa Mitsukuni (1628-1700). His fictional counterpart travels the country in the guise of a retired merchant, giving him regular reasons to right wrongs and aid the oppressed. The signature moment of every episode comes near the end, when in the middle of a violent struggle with the villain of the week, Komon's attendants interrupt to flash in the evil-doer's face their master's inro - a lacquered case bearing the Tokugawa crest (just as happens in the story Mugen recounts) - and proclaim that the man he's fighting is none other than the current Shogun's uncle, Lord Mitsukuni of Mito. ("Down! Can you not see this emblem?") - Normally, the villains realize they're in deep trouble and surrender at once. But not Mugen... | |

Back-to-Back Badasses: In Mugen and Jin's first fight, the former does a flip over the latter's back that temporarily puts them back-to-back. In "Elegy of Entrapment (Verse 1 and 2)", both Jin and Mugen fight Sara with their backs against each other at one point. Jin and Mokuro. | |

Ambiguous Situation | |
Samurai Champloo / int_1f6983f7 | comment |
Ambiguous Situation: Episode 22 is a weird episode involving mushrooms, zombies, spicy wasabi, and a meteor crashing down from space and killing everyone. Was everything really the results of a Mushroom Samba? Fuu expresses doubt about eating the mushrooms and ultimately isn't shown eating them, yet still experiences the same horrors that Mugen and Jin do. Was the episode unknowingly now the viewpoint of Mugen and/or Jin while they were tripping? It would explain Fuu's involvement if it was. Regardless of theories and speculation of what actually happened, there is no explanation for anything. | |

Fire-Forged Friends: Fuu managed to convince Jin and Mugen to be her bodyguards through persistence and getting in the middle of their Duel to the Death. The first handful of episodes show the group on really shaky ground, often with all of them splitting up or Mugen and Jin restarting the duel early, and definitely runs into With Friends Like These... from time to time. By the halfway point, they have come to respect each other, but pelt each other with numerous snide comments out of habit, and Mugen and Jin start taking the responsibility of protecting Fuu seriously. | |

Samurai Champloo / int_24e5adb9 | comment |
Beast and Beauty : In the second episode, Mugen is hired to kill an ogre that is terrifying the locals, but it is actually a trap set by the vengeful Ryujiro, who also kidnaps Fuu. She is guarded by the "ogre", who is actually Oniwakaru, a tall, handicapped man physically and mentally scarred by the abuse from those who feared his appearance. Although he tells her he killed a lot of people, Fuu pities him. A few hours later, Mugen comes to rescue Fuu, but his reflexes are slowed by the poison given to him by a prostitute bribed by Ryujiro, so he is easlily defeated by Oniwakaru. Ryujiro decides to kill Fuu, but Oniwakaru breaks his neck, before being stabbed by Mugen. Fuu asks the giant why he saved her life and he says "You weren't afraid of me. I'm not alone anymore," and dies watching the fireflies Fuu showed him. | |

When asked to play a song on it, he pulls his katana from the neck, and reveals that he is actually a samurai. He also happened to have smoke bombs hidden in the body of the instrument. | |

Genocide from the Inside: The samurai that Mugen interrogates about Okuru believes that Okuru killed his own clan before attacking other samurai from the Matsumae clan. It's not true. Okuru's clan was wiped out by disease, and he attacked the samurai in the middle of a Heroic BSoD when he saw them destroying and setting fire to his village to contain the epidemic rather than try to help survivors. | |

Samurai Champloo / int_329a19a0 | comment |
Hollywood Healing: Both Jin and Mugen (the latter more so than the former) get multiple deep cuts and heavy bruising, cough up copious amounts of blood, and lose teeth, but usually in one episodes' time are healed right up. Their numerous injuries are never mentioned or seen in the following episode. This is somewhat justifiable, given that they're making a long journey on foot, and some time may be presumed to pass between one episode and the next. | |

William Telling: Our three adventurers are (as usual) broke, so they try to raise money with a demonstration of their swordplay. Mugen and Jin are blindfolded and have to cut two fruits balanced one-on-top-of-the-other upon a nervous Fuu's head. It doesn't help that Mugen and Jin are visibly hung-over from last night's debauchery. | |

An early episode has an assassin dueling with Jin. After Mugen kills his employer, he tells Jin that there's now no need for him to kill, and gives a We Will Meet Again before calmly walking away. | |

Searching for the Lost Relative | |
Samurai Champloo / int_3855ceed | comment |
Searching for the Lost Relative: This is one of the big reveals from the serie. The "Samurai who smells of sunflowers" that Fuu hired Jin and Mugen to find is her father, a Japanese Christian who is a target of the government. He initially left Fuu and her mother to protect other believers, then stayed away after the government performed a harsh purge of the Christians, knowing that he and those around him would be targets for the wrath of the Shogunate. When Fuu finds him in the final episodes, he's on death's door due to tuberculosis, not even able to get up from his bed. | |

Damsel in Distress | |
Samurai Champloo / int_4160410d | comment |
Damsel in Distress: Fuu. Given how often she gets in trouble, often being Bound and Gagged, she comes off as rather sensible for hiring two capable bodyguards. This is Truth in Television. In Edo period Japan, it was not only incredibly dangerous, but actually illegal for a teenage girl to travel without some sort of legal guardian like Fuu does. She would be stopped and questioned by law enforcement on sight, unless brothel "recruiters" got her first (like one of the episodes shows). | |

Samurai Champloo / int_4af55b78 | comment |
Credits Gag: The zombie episode. The closing credit start as usual but then the music suddenly slows to a crawl and stops before being replaced by a very eerie tone as the pictures continue to roll. Until it suddenly reaches a grave stone and hand suddenly pops out of it before going full screen to show the lead zombie of the episode pulling himself out and roaring at the camera. A fitting way to end such a bizarre episode. | |

Break the Cutie: Koza in "Misguided Miscreants" is already broken before the episode begins, because she's been living on a destitute island all her life with no family or friends, only sticking around Mukuro because there was nobody else, and she knows she can't survive on her own. Then her situation only gets worse. | |

Mukokuseki: Almost completely averted. Everyone has dark eyes, and hair color is mostly black or dark brown. Several characters' eyebrows even look Japanese. When a Dutch character shows up, the characters note his unusual features with red hair and blue eyes. Subverted with the prefect's son in the first episode, who has bleach-blond anachronistic hair. | |

Fuu's final line of dialogue in the last episode also applies. | |

Mistaken for Gay: At one point, an old man (actually an assassin guising himself as a harmless weakling) comes across Jin in a hot spring. They have a (largely one sided) conversation about fireflies, until the stranger gives a suggestive smile and comments that sometimes the male fireflies can attract other male fireflies instead of females. Jin promptly excuses himself. Mugen shows surprise when Jin later pursues a prostitute, and explicitly states this was the reason. | |

Sword Fight: Inevitably, up to and including many of its subtropes: Flynning is notably averted. It's the speed of the action that adds excitement to the fight scenes, not the amount of movement. Jin and Mugen's rivalry even started because they were accustomed to a Single-Stroke Battle and were annoyed it took longer than that. The movements used were often very carefully choreographed into the script, making each fight scene distinct from all the others.

Instrument of Murder | |
Samurai Champloo / int_655d406a | comment |
Instrument of Murder: In the first part of "Hellhounds for Hire", Jin is disguised as a woman carrying a shamisen (a traditional Japanese instrument similar to a guitar). When asked to play a song on it, he pulls his katana from the neck, and reveals that he is actually a samurai. He also happened to have smoke bombs hidden in the body of the instrument. Sara's shamisen is a slightly more traditional example of this trope, with a spear serving as the neck and the tuning heads doubling as throwing darts. | |

Brush-Off Walk-Off | |
Samurai Champloo / int_71dfdccc | comment |
Brush-Off Walk-Off: The "Misguided Miscreants" arc sees Mugen return to his home island, only to get involved in a lot of trouble over finding pirate treasure with his childhood friend Koza, who has developed chronic dependency on others and Chronic Backstabbing Disorder just to survive. After she gets her revenge on Mukuro by having Jin kill him for her, she runs off with her new boyfriend after thinking that she can finally leave that criminal island and start a new life. When they both see a limping implacable Mugen marching along the same road, her boyfriend attacks and gets effortlessly cut down. Koza begs for Mugen to end her life as well, as death would be better than continuing her life of destitution at this point. Without saying a word, Mugen just keeps on walking and leaves her to her fate of being alone. | |

Progressive Era Montage | |
Samurai Champloo / int_72e71249 | comment |
Progressive Era Montage: The first one does it backwards as a gag, as the "three days earlier" scene first mistakenly shows a bustling modern city, then "rewinds" through 200-odd years of development and urbanization, until finally arriving at a sleepy post-town of the mid-to-late Edo Period. | |

Belligerent Sexual Tension | |
Samurai Champloo / int_75d6bf40 | comment |
Belligerent Sexual Tension: How fans of Fuugen often justify the pairing; based primarily on their constant arguing/making fun of/insulting each other despite repeatedly rescuing (Mugen, moreso)/crying over (Fuu, obviously) each other. It also helps that there's this gem by Word of God: Entirely canonical example with Mugen and Yatsuha: Mugen spends the entire episode trying to have sex with her, she divides her time between manipulating him through this and beating the crap out of him when he gets too forward. At the very end of the episode, however, she cheerfully tells her brother that she intends to marry Mugen once they're both finished with their respective quests. | |

Eagleland: The baseball episode. The Americans, which include the people who invented the sport, are portrayed as blatantly cheating, violent, murderous thugs who consider the Japanese team to be ignorant savages. When the game dissolves into a beaning match which ends with Mugen as the last man standing, he then yells "Go back to your own damn country!" The narrator then helpfully adds that the Americans went home in shame, with a profound fear of the Japanese people. It's a fond, borne-out-of-mutual-love-and-admiration Type Two variation, in case you were wondering. | |

Expository Hairstyle Change | |
Samurai Champloo / int_7efd2e30 | comment |
Expository Hairstyle Change: An example that requires knowledge of Edo-era fashion: Jin's very long bangs/sideburns plus long ponytail are a strange hairstyle for a samurai. Most other samurai in the series either have the short bangs plus ponytail style suitable for teenagers and apprentices or the tonsured style favored by older men, especially bureaucrats. When we start seeing Jin's backstory flashbacks, it becomes clear that he used to have the apprentice style, but stopped cutting it after he became a ronin. His bangs have gone from above his eyebrows to his jawline, suggesting that the time between the flashbacks and the main series timeline is about 3-6 months. | |

Red Oni, Blue Oni: Mugen and Jin are classic examples. Mugen is red, Jin is blue — this color-coding extends even to their character flashbacks, with Jin's tinted cool blue and Mugen's burning orange (Fuu's flashbacks are gold or green-tinted). Mugen is associated with fire, Jin is associated with water. In the opening sequence, Mugen is associated with the rooster, Jin is associated with fish. | |

At one point, an old man (actually an assassin guising himself as a harmless weakling) comes across Jin in a hot spring.

Jin promptly excuses himself. | |

Bodyguard Crush | |
Samurai Champloo / int_96f6335d | comment |
Bodyguard Crush: Fuu seems to idolize both Jin and Mugen at different points in the series. Jin is very protective of Fuu, but whether this is a romantic interest, a brotherly/fatherly interest or just yojimbo dutifulness is difficult to say. His emotional restraint makes this even more difficult to fathom, even though he seems to be more in tune with Fuu's emotions, as he's usually the one who notices when Fuu feels down or the one who runs after her when she leaves. On the other hand, brash Mugen is often argued to be in denial of a crush on Fuu; he rushes to her rescue very noticeably in numerous episodes while Jin engages a different enemy and the two tend to interact a lot more than Fuu and Jin. This tends to make him a more popular choice for Shipping with Fuu than Jin. | |

Samurai Champloo / int_9b178667 | comment |
Broke Episode: One of the three major episode situations of Samurai Champloo. Usually the responsibility for getting money/food/other necessary items falls on Jin; Mugen and Fuu force him to pawn his swords at least twice and his glasses once. However, in episode 11, Jin borrows at least one Ry� from Mugen (won it on beetle sumo wrestling) to "buy a woman," so it might be warranted in the rest of the series. | |

Foreshadowing: In Episode 5 "Artistic Anarchy", during the match of shogi against the old man, Jin mentions how his master used to say shogi is similar to swordfight in that the one who manages to read ahead wins and says how he was never able to beat his master in shogi. When the old man asks him if Jin was able to best him in swords, the audience doesn't learn the answer. We later learn that Jin did end up defeating his master, and it is the primary reason why he is Walking the Earth. | |

Samurai Champloo / int_9d4f79e2 | comment |
Animal Athlete Loophole: In a baseball game against the Eagleland Navy, ninja Kagemaru is a little shorthanded. Even after conscripting Mugen, Jin and Fuu, he needs five more players. So he gets a really old man (who dies in his first at-bat), Fuu's pet flying squirrel Momo, and a dog. When one of the American sailors objects, the umpire consults a rulebook, and rules that "I can't find anything about dogs in the rulebook. He's good."note The American team was led by Alexander Joy Cartwright and his translator, Abner Doubleday. The former is the likely inventor of baseball, while the latter is its inventor in a widespread myth. | |

Idiosyncratic Episode Naming | |
Samurai Champloo / int_ac4ac8e5 | comment |
Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: The original Japanese titles are all yojijukugo, four-kanji idioms that have to be translated as a single unit (ex: Episode 24 is Seishiryuten, which translates most closely as "The Circle of Transmigration"). The closest English literary device would be a cliche idiom like "the sound and the fury", but that really misses out on the classically poetic connotations of yojijukugo. The English episode titles try to get some of that poetic mojo back with full-on Beowulf-style alliteration, one of the oldest poetic forms in the English language (ex: Episode 24 becomes "Evanescent Encounter"). | |

Mirror Character | |
Samurai Champloo / int_ba5bbda5 | comment |
Mirror Character: Mugen and Jin. At first glance, they seem to be as different as night and day. Mugen's incredibly brash and always itching for a fight, while Jin's calm and composed and an honourable warrior. Their colour schemes and general attitude also reflect this. However, the two are a lot more like each other than they'd like to admit, right down to both being morally ambiguous drifters and excellent swordsmen. Mugen claims to be a loner and hates everyone, but he already shows some heroic tendencies and concern for Fuu by the second episode. Meanwhile, Jin is actually rather cold, irritable, and even arrogant, especially in regards to Mugen. Both Mugen and Jin also enjoy the company of prostitutes (though Mugen enjoys them more so), both love to fight, and both never back down from a challenge. At the end of Fuu's quest, they both grow to become better people. | |

Wrecked Weapon: A double instance is the result of Mugen and Jin finally having their to-the-death duel in Ep. 26. It's a somewhat unusual use of the trope, since instead of magnifying their rage, this gives both guys an honorable means of waiving a promise neither of them wants to fulfil. | |

Entirely canonical example with Mugen and Yatsuha: Mugen spends the entire episode trying to have sex with her, she divides her time between manipulating him through this and beating the crap out of him when he gets too forward. At the very end of the episode, however, she cheerfully tells her brother that she intends to marry Mugen once they're both finished with their respective quests. | |

The Dulcinea Effect: Zigzagged throughout the series: In the first episode, Mugen offers, unprompted, to help Fuu with her teahouse's thug problem... in exchange for food. When said thugs actually threaten to cut off her fingers, Mugen lounges on his table until Fuu promises him dumplings to save her. However, as early as the second episode, Mugen nearly verges into Always Save the Girl status, barely reacting to the woman who poisoned him until she mentions that Fuu is in danger and killing anyone who gets in between himself and Fuu (including Oniwakamaru, who would have surrendered). Played perfectly straight in the episode eleven with Shino, whom Jin immediately falls in love with. | |

Knight, Knave, and Squire: Jin is The Knight, a Ronin Samurai who was taught swordsmanship in a dojo; he is chivalrous and only battles worthy opponents, considering everyone else beneath his notice. Mugen is The Knave, completely self taught, with a battle style that is all over the place; he's a criminal and Combat Pragmatist and extremely rude and aggressive to the point he'll start a fight with someone who looks tough just because he's bored. Fuu is The Squire; young and inexperienced with no fighting abilities, she often ends up being a Damsel in Distress, but the main plot hinges upon her decision to team up with the two fighters. | |

High-Dive Escape | |
Samurai Champloo / int_c93ae7fc | comment |
High-Dive Escape: An early episode has an assassin dueling with Jin. After Mugen kills his employer, he tells Jin that there's now no need for him to kill, and gives a We Will Meet Again before calmly walking away. Mugen possibly qualifies for this as well, in a flashback scene where he escaped a justifiable execution by leaping backward off the cliff to fall into the ocean below, complete with manic wide-eyed grin all the way down. However, this might have been more of an attempted suicide than escape - it was a high cliff - given the speech just before when he claimed he didn't accept help from anyone, least of all into his grave. That he survived was apparently just a lucky coincidence. | |

Samurai Champloo / int_cb70651c | comment |
Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: The encounter with Heike Shige and his men. On one hand, the mushrooms were strongly implied to be hallucinogenic, and there is no explanation made of how the trio was able to eat nothing but wasabi for days while doing heavy labor and not collapse, or how they were able to survive a meteor strike. On the other hand, Fuu didn't eat any of the mushrooms, but she saw Shige and his men as well and was the first to notice something off about them, and walked right into the middle of the mass grave that a horde of zombies rose from while Mugen and Jin were off in the shack, and she appeared to have seen the same things that they saw. The whole thing is extremely ambiguous, and no mention was ever made of it after the episode. | |

How fans of Fuugen often justify the pairing; based primarily on their constant arguing/making fun of/insulting each other despite repeatedly rescuing (Mugen, moreso)/crying over (Fuu, obviously) each other. It also helps that there's this gem by Word of God: | |

Samurai Champloo / int_ce6555f0 | comment |
Lighter and Softer: Compared to Cowboy Bebop. Though Cowboy Bebop had goofy episodes, and Samurai Champloo had serious episodes, Champloo tended to have a lighter tone overall with a number of very outlandish visual gags. While Bebop has a Downer Ending, Champloo has an almost completely upbeat ending, with the three main characters parting ways as friends and the only entirely sorrowful aspect being the death of Fuu's ailing father. | |

Mundane Made Awesome: 'This is a story of men whose souls burned with a passion for baseball!' Learning to read. "Beetle Sumo". It's really just two bugs on a rock trying to push each other off. But you throw in mood lighting, dynamic camera angles, and sparks when they push against each other... Painting graffiti. The eating contest, complete with commentators and asking important existential questions. | |

However, as early as the second episode, Mugen nearly verges into Always Save the Girl status, barely reacting to the woman who poisoned him until she mentions that Fuu is in danger and killing anyone who gets in between himself and Fuu (including Oniwakamaru, who would have surrendered). | |

Expy: Mugen resembles Spike Spiegel in the hairstyle, and they're also both voiced by Steve Blum in the English dub. However, Mugen and Spike are quite different characters otherwise; Mugen is as aggressive as Spike is laid-back. Sara is an homage to the blind swordsman Zatoichi. Fuu is based on Ai Hayakawa from the character designer's previous work, Final Fantasy: Unlimited — right down to the hair bun/ponytail hybrid. | |

Determinator: Mugen, but only when enticed by hot ninja nookie. Jin as well in the very last episode. Okuru definitely counts in Episode 17. He is shot twice by flaming arrows, but instead of falling over and dying, he pulls one of the arrows out of his chest and stabs a soldier to death with it before jumping off a cliff into the waterfall basin. Mugen is convinced he's still alive. | |

Rikiei's acquiring of money is how he views success in this new era especially at the expense of others. | |

Snap Back: All three of the main characters die in an explosion at the end of Episode 22, complete with a resolute "The End." In the remaining four episodes of the series, this is never mentioned again. The general consensus is that they ate bad mushrooms and the whole episode was a hallucination, but considering Fuu at the least isn't shown eating any and still experienced all the same things just raises further questions. | |

Despite the fact both were already worn and weary from their previous battles only minutes ago, they will not be denied this time. Mugen and Jin charge at each other for a deathblow strike... only for their katanas break in two against each other as if all the wear and tear accumulated from the previous battles throughout the series had finally caught up to the blades. | |

Samurai Champloo / int_f06b07ff | comment |
Locked Out of the Loop: Well, "locked" implies more investment in the mystery than they actually have. Jin and Mugen spend 99% of the series without a clue what Fuu is really looking for. Jin just doesn't care, and Mugen can't bring himself to pay attention. They eventually steal Fuu's diary to get a better idea of what's going on, but that plan fails fairly quickly. Mugen doesn't even realize that Fuu has a pet squirrel until halfway through the series. | |

Mushroom Samba | |
Samurai Champloo / int_f7d4f121 | comment |
Mushroom Samba: An incident involving a burning field of pot, and maybe the episode where they ate mushrooms and were attacked by zombies, died, and got hit by a meteor. "Maybe" because so far no-one has a concrete explanation for what the hell happened. Most believe the mushrooms they ate were bad, but the fact that Fuu isn't shown eating any of the mushrooms puts that theory into question. The female assassin in Episode 2 passes a poisonous mushroom to Mugen via kiss - it's called "the single night mushroom" because that's how long you're expected to live if you combine it with sake. | |
