This episode was um... well... yeah

Idk not really feeling this episode. That was one really messed up hallucination.

And the ending totally caught me off guard! Glad I wasn't watching this at night!

Let me go get high and rewatch this. It might make sense then.

I think they were having a little bit of fun, and I do agree with the WWII allusions. I made the mistake of watching this late at night. How was I supposed to know it'd be about the undead?? And Shige coming out of the grave at the very end of the credits...thoroughly freaked out.

Yeahh.....I think that would've made a lot more sense stoned lol. Reading what some of you guys are saying I've got a better grasp on it but it was still so weird. Definitley the worst episode so far in my eyes.

What a weird episode, zombies in this kind of story line? Hmm seemed more like an special or something not something you would put in the main story IMO it just didn't fit, still not a bad episode though! But nothing more than a special filler or some kind!

I found the episode alright. Thought it was unnecessary, but what the hell. Still a good episode, some of you guys need to lighten up.

Best thing about the episode was the ending though, with a guest appearance from Ogami Itto and Daigoro! That was epic :3

I admit this was a rather random approach for the series. But it makes sense to reference the bombings from Nagasaki with the ending. I think this episode is just a canon and they'll probably forget it in the next one.

3/5 at least, for doing something random (zombies lolwut) but bad timing based on what happened with the last episode.

What the fuck just happened? How did Mugen not realize there was something wrong when he gave the arm to the worker as a gift and he attached it just like that! There was no blood! How did the zombies suddenly vanished? How did Mugen & co. managed to escape from the explosion? What the hell Happened in the episode?
It would have been so much better if they had continued the last episode's conspiracy had the lady not died.How did she suddenly realize the son is dead is another mystery!

Well whatever, the episode was pathetic and i'm gonna rate the series a 7/10. I dropped it from 8 to 7 because of this episode.

Maybe this was just me, but I was pretty sure that the entire episode was an allegory for Japan's involvement in World War 2.

A crazed ruler from a long-dead, long-obsolete generation battling for hopeless ideals? His oblivious supporters, who gladly KILL THEMSELVES for him? His empty promises? A goddamn MUSHROOM CLOUD, identified as such?

Ogami Itto and Daigoro standing and watching it, shaking their heads?

It wasn't a great episode, but it had a deeper meaning than simply being a zombie parody.


well said!!

I didn't like this episode one bit. It just scared the living shit out of me and it didn't help that the ending got changed and made me shit bricks while I was typing this. Fuu's screams seriously will be embedded in my mind for lord knows how long.

Mediocre episode 2/5

This made me laugh a lot.
On the episode: At least they got their Halloween-theme episode out of the way. Had to pause the ending theme when it got stopped because I knew, I just knew what was coming next. Loved that it was allegorical (made you think), and I'm glad our trio didn't die in the midst of that hot mess.

Not that great in my opinion. It's a shame Samurai Champloo has some episodes that feel like filler? o - o I don't believe there is even a manga...so I don't understand why this kind of filler is needed. Oh well.

It's a little thing Television experts like to call "Stand Alone" episodes, might wanna look into that. As well as check on what filler actually means

DAFUQ!?...

I've no idea what just happened. The whole episode felt it was on drug with the slow realization of the characters regarding the place (I mean Mugen cut off a guy's arm and then came back to give it back to him and the man without any apparent pain or anger took it back, and it was only after the first half Fuu realized there was something wrong with the guy? the hell!!!). And the overall grey tint the episode had.
And the ending... what the hell man??? was that guy Madara's ancestor or something, calling a meteor with his guitar!? and he also caused a atomic explosion-esque cloud!
I'm pretty sure this was a gag episode, though it felt more like a mind screw to me...
Next episode govt vs trio (at least I hope it's something like that.)

There were random episodes before but this.. zombies.. seriously? Don't really care if it was a metaphor or reference as this particular episode doesn't add anything new to overall story. Random as hell.

Also that zombie at the ending sure was unexpected.

Randomness is the whole point of the damn show omg, y'all fucking lame complaining and crying about crap like "oh it doesn't relate to the story", IT'S THE WHOLE POINT OF THE FUCKING SHOW, and it works perfectly
