I thought that this episode was pretty good. I'm waiting to see what the next two have in store!

Back on track with a great episode - wewt! I'm glad Fuu is sentimental... We got to hear about them straight from their own mouths. We knew most of it aside from the fact that Mugen killed someone REALLY important, though we could've guessed that from his personality I suppose. XD

Anyway, thought it was great. Can't wait to watch the final eps!

Now I understand the choice for the last episodes. Some comic-relief and sillyness before the grand climax. This is going to be some serious shit.

I really love and admire the philosophical messages interwoven in what is Samurai Champloo...at the end when the master samurai approached Gin and Mugen..."Only hope can give rise to the emotion we call despair, but it is merely impossible for man to try to live without hope, so i guess that leaves man no choice but to walk around with despair as his companion" ---- If that's not deep then, what is? Gotta love it...Samurai Champloo 1 of the best series out there...so next time if some questions your maturity as a result of your decision in watching anime, just give 'em a Mugen kick to the face ;-)

Well said!! Like any other art form, some anime aren't worth watching while others-many others-have definite substance.
Finally after two not-so-great fillers, we're back on track! Can't wait to see the next (last?!) two episodes!

When Fuu left them it reminded me of Cowboy Bebop when everyone parts ways. Hopefully the ending won't be as sad as Cowboy Bebop's :o

Oh dear. Fuu tried to run off on her own again and ran straight into some bad guys!

And it looks like I got my wish of an opponent that both Mugen and Jin will have to fight together! Yey!

this anime only hold one episode has 8 score for me, Champloo's score back to 9 !

I am seriously thinking about what Jin wanted to say to Fuu at night. "If I..." and she replied something about Mugen...? Did he want to propose to keep travelling with her even after finding her father or what was it? Aagh. I want to know... !

One slight quench I have with this anime is that Fuu rarely had moments to shine (so far?). She got kidnapped/into trouble so many times and her brilliant moments were kind of rare and far between...

Nice we've started with a new arc I think this will be a 3 parter to get to the final episode, it really gets quite interesting now, she willingly have split the group now and went forward on her jerney! Now we've seen some new assassins and they're all started a fight, lets see what's next!

Shit's about to go down.

Also, I lol'd when Mugen said he randomly killed a high respected Tokugawa clan leader because he was showing a crest. I don't know why that cracked me up. xD

I really liked the camp fire scene, it's about time we get some backstory from the characters own mouths.

Fuu reaches her destination but it was a trap all along by the Shogunate. Also, Mugen/Jin are confronted by Kariya.

Let's see what happens in these last 2.

Also wonder what Jin was going to tell Fuu and why she was mentioning Mugen.

The thing with Jin and Fuu talking and then her mentioning Mugen just seemed like a testament to how comfortable they all became with each others' presence. Nothing more and nothing less (no matter how okay with coupling I'd be).

Anyways, finally a badass fight with Mugen and Jin going tag team! I really hope Fuu gets to meet her father and remain alive! I don't want this journey to end!!

Main plot has a comeback with a bang. Never seen them both getting all serious like that. The tense atmosphere and fighting adds up to this being a good episode.

I adore this anime. Back in the mid '90s, my mother used to join me in my room just to watch it. She's no longer of this world, but in my mind I can still hear her say:"Quit hogging up all the chips!"

I thought at first the guy who approached them on the docks who saw Fuu might have been her dad but obviously not.

Wow, he's crazy good.

Fuu went off by herself too! D:
