Samurai 7	comment	Samurai 7 is an anime remake of Seven Samurai, down to the names of the samurai.Being an anime retelling, however, it also has Humongous Mecha that get cut in half with katanas.When the Nobuseri bandits prey upon the village of Kanna, the poor villagers — out of fear of starvation — send their water priestess to the nearest city to hire as many samurai as possible to protect them. The villagers will offer the samurai all of the rice they can eat in exchange for their services, but what samurai would hire out their swords and their skill for rice?In the aftermath of a devastating war, samurai strive to find meaning in their lives. It is through protecting the village of Kanna that the seven samurai who take up the villagers' offer find that meaning — and more.Now with a character page that needs some love. The series aired on American television on Toonami from August 18, 2012 to February 9, 2013.

Samurai 7 / int_12a22bd8	comment	Katanas Are Just Better: Ironically, this is the opposite of the film the show was loosely based on where no amount of skill with a katana helped anyone against guns at range. Here, the seven samurai can bring down mech samurai. In the climax The villain's ship has to stop using their massive laser cannons after realizing how easily and precisely the samurai katanas can DEFLECT THEM. Though this doesn't stop Kyuzo from being shot to death.

Samurai 7 / int_6439de78	comment	Heroic Sacrifice: Several, but most notably Kikuchiyo, who'd been able to survive all previous injuries due to his mechanical body. After the flying-battleship Imperial Capital is disabled and crashes to earth, Kiku prevents it from careening into Kanna Village by picking up one of the giant Nobuseri swords and standing in front of it to slow it down and instead entirely deflecting its path away from the village and cutting it in half His ultimate fate? Melted down into near-nothingness; only his feet remain still planted firmly where he stood without giving an inch to the fortress..

Even when human pilots are cut into pieces, the explosion of the mecha usually mask all the gore. (Intentionally) averted when Katsushiro takes his first life and is completely drenched in a shower of blood and oil from the victim and his mech suit, and later when he accidentally kills Kyuzo. It seems the amount of blood shown is directly proportionate to the emotional impact each death has on the killer.

Samurai 7 / int_f13a0451	type	Suicide Attack
Samurai 7 / int_f13a0451	comment	Could also count for the title 7. In the beginning of the series, guns were still a major threat and only Gorobei was fast enough to deflect or dodge bullets casually. In the final assault on the Capital, once the remaining Samurai have resolved themselves to a Suicide Attack... Kambei, Kyuzo and even Kikuchiyo are swatting away hails of projectiles straight up Jedi style. Katsushiro in particular both after his first kill and after Kambei punishes him for following him to the capital. at the beginning of the series he's a young ronin who had never killed and was unable to beat even a single mook. By the end he's become a greater warrior.

Samurai 7 / int_f2d8e3c2	comment	Evil Plan: The plot is started by the bandit's plan of 'regular rice extortion' from villagers but Ukyo's plan later drives the story. Ukyo claims that his plan involves pitting the various classes against each other to create a new, peaceful world order, but some of what he says during his Villainous Breakdown implies that his plan mostly involved making everybody kill everybody else because he could get away with it.

In order to create a distraction, Kambei accuses Kikuchiyo of being a samurai who killed his father, and Kambei claims to have trained for years and tracked him down before beheading Kikuchiyo (which had no real ill effect, because he's a cyborg).
