In the Manga Afro used a crippled woman as a shield against an assassin with a gatling gun That alone cements him as one of the most dangerous members of the Roundtable

CJ is the pure definition of quality over quantity 😭straight comedic entertainment

What’s crazy is Afro’s dad with his last breath said don’t avenge me. He didn’t want Afro to go down that path

Just to give context to him killing Kotaro, the sad/fucked-up fact about it is that he didn't mean to kill him. At all. He was going let that boy cut his head off but he decapitated him instead out of pure reflex and didn't even realize it. And in the manga, Afro is not only a worse demon than in the anime, but he doesn't even get his revenge because Justice was already by the time he found him. So, he murdered and betrayed everyone he ever loved for nothing.

The worst part about Afro killing Kotaro? HE DIDN'T MEAN TO. He was actually FULLY accepting of death and Kotaros vengeance..... *but his instincts were too on point and his body automatically weeved Kotaros attack and ended him in the blink of an eye. Afro was shocked and horrified at what he did.*

For anyone wondering, the afro samurai game has the good ending. It ends with afro letting go of the #1 headband and ending the cycle of revenge having finally found inner peace. Well it's more of a bittersweet ending but still a lot better than the other endings.

Bro went from "I avenged my father" to "I'm gonna emulate my father's killer" real quick. Bro took his forces and dipped them hoes in vanta black paint!

Honestly, Afro Samurai, Black Dynamite and Bushido Brown are the coldest black guys in anime.

If you’re voiced by Samuel L Jackson, you’ve already got a platinum pass into the roundtable

We can all agree that Afro Samurai is indeed *HIM* he’s one of the coldest black anime characters to ever exist

Saddest part of Afro getting the number 2 when he killed his master... His master didn't try to actually fight back. He hoped Afro would choose to move on. But he couldn't.😢😢😢

Fun Fact: Afro is Huey Freeman's ancestor

I think Afro is one of the best examples of "Protagonist driven by revenge that causes them to become a villain"

I would like to point out that while Afro is voiced by Samuel L Jackson, Justice is voiced by Ron Perlman, aka Hellboy, aka The Lich, aka SLADE the Teen Titan's biggest opp. This dude's track record of voicing cold, badass characters is insane, bro 😫

The Cycle of Violence in Afro Samurai 1) Everyone wants to be #1 but you need to have the #2 headband (You need to kill that person) 2) They murder their way to the #2 and then challenge the #1 3) Either: 3a) They die and someone else gets the #2 3b) They win and someone else takes the mantle of #2 4) Wait until someone kills you 5) *the cycle continues*

Even as a total menace who smokes a pack a day, Afro still has the priority to stay hydrated with some refreshing ass lemonade.

If you read the Manga and played the game, he was making orphans left and right, and killing those same orphans. Innocent bystanders were not safe around him either. A meat shield is a meat shield.

“THESE ARE MY HANDS KZfaq, THESE ARE MY HANDS” 😂 Seeing Cj in real time was like revealing the Wizard of Oz

This is how an entertaining retelling should be. Going over the main points, important dialogue, etc… but give it some PERSONALITY. Love your vids.

Bro, this is one of my favorite anime of all time and one of my favorite characters of all time. I think this is my favorite episode from you. This just brings back endless memories of nostalgia. You really made my day, my G. God bless. 💯

You know Afro’s actions and journey is actually a lot worse and a lot more sad in the manga!

This movie becomes so much more funny when u realize Ninja-Ninja is Afro's inner thoughts and knowing he's just in Afro's mind and that it's basically just what Afro is a thinking makes this scene 100x funnier to me.

13:30 bro didn't do any cool trick or super speed or nothing, he slowly pushed that sword into them 🥶

As a lifelong black anime fan. Afro Samurai HIT DIFFERENT as a kid. I WAS AFRO SAMURAI ✊🏾😂

19:10 for those who don’t know, or haven’t figured it out, the reason for all of his childhood friends trying to kill him is the fact that his vengeance ruined their lives. Their home ransacked by thugs for the head band, Afro killing their father figure, and majority of their friends/siblings killed during the attack. As for the movie bad bitch, she’s also the biological sister of Kuma aka darth teddy bear. Kuma survived his injuries with Afro from the main series and became more machine than human.

Best thing about this series is how the game, anime and manga each had a different ending. Also real f-ing banger of a video.

15:21 that line kinda went hard

22:17 Is this a shredder trial teaser by chance⁉️⁉️

Afro samurai and The Boondocks are prime examples if you let brothas create an anime with no restrictions

As an attendant for the table, few things to point out: 1 - Afro was repeatedly invited by Alucard, Baki, and Tanya, but he chose to wait for his trial just so everyone knew what kind of footwear he’s packing. 2 - We now have an entire cart just for his lemonade. 3 - He offered Roberta the number 2 headband so that it would never be claimed again, but it was later decided that Anos should have it. 4 - Though he’s not a founding member, Buu says he was there to see the opening day.

Thank you for this I haven't seen this in so damn long I needed a refresher with some great commentary

Bro I watched this series. It was wild. These videos were all the motivation I needed lmfao.

Seeing Afro perpetuate this cycle of violence makes me so much more proud of Kratos. We really do have to be better and stop the cycle

Afro Samurai was one of my first introductions to what Grade A, insane quality full-length anime movies were supposed to be. Right up there with Akira, Ninja Scroll and Ghost in the Shell. But Afro? What an absolute BEAST of a character!

6:13 "You nappy headed, mawthafwacker" CJ was waiting for that part. XD

Man's vocals are nuts and so is his sound effects 20:18 😆😆😆🔥🔥🔥

"YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO DESTROY THE SITH NOT JOIN THEM!" "my bad cuz." HAD ME DYING 😭

Afro sitting by himself at the roundtable. Almost like everyone else are like, "stay away from that one. He is an absolute menace."

The two things that I love about Afro Samurai is: A) The headband doesn’t give the wearer any power or special ability it’s just a piece of cloth B) In the manga Afro just finds Justices corpse at the end meaning everything that he has done was for nothing

23:20... really shows its not anymore about his Dad bro legit became like the dude that killed hos Dad

Maaan I ain't never gonna get how they managed to make this whole show look consistently amazing. This is what adult animation should look close to

For those wondering, in the actual show, Brother 3 (with the headphones) was actually repeating "Hachimaki o kudasai," which is Japanese for "Headband, please." Instead of FIGHTING Afro for the Headband like everyone else, this dude politely asked for it. He was also notably the only one of the Empty Seven not only to be this peaceful in his attempt to get the Headband, but also the only one to still be alive. Afro decided to spare him and ignore his request simply because Brother 3 never wanted to take his life -- and despite his coldness, he didn't want to needlessly kill him either. (Hilariously, Ninja Ninja ate the tea and rice crackers that Brother 3 offered Afro 😂)

22:50 He pulled a captain bucaneer from fmab😭

6:15 Huh, so this is Huey and Riley's father

We need more coverage of classic tv shows like Afro samurai. Watching shows like Boondocks, Black Dynamite, Samurai Jack, etc. as a kid late at night on adult swim was playing and your parents were asleep was the best. Man I miss those days. Thanks for bringing us such phenomenal content Cj and thank you for giving me this nostalgia.

Finally, Afro Samurai is legendary.

I guess if this series is about some other characters, the Afro Samurai could become the main antagonist.

23:38 😭BRO BECAME WHAT HE HATED

Afro is vengeance incarnate. He isn't even a mean dude, he just gotta get his get back by any means necessary

Real yasuke

The Mike Wazowski yell had me gasping for air. 6:52

one of my favorite things with Afro Samurai is that when Justice and Afro become number one, they fully understand that with all the bloodshed, someone's kid is gonna come for them in the future

It makes sense why all of Afro's friends want to make him a pack. He caused everything that happened in the flashback, but no one was gonna get in the way of Afro. Also, the ending is exactly what Justice's monologue was about at the end of Exhibit A. "Your little anger is just a sea spray of blood in the endless ocean of this world's killing. It's got no end and no beginning. Just the strong and the dead. Only cursed ones like you and I can stomach this truth."

Lets be honest rn afro is a FU**ING MENACE

Afro earned a seat at the head of the table of the Black Air Force 1 Academy.

Afro Samurai is so underrated especially with the score done by RZA

I don't think there's a greater feat in anime than beating a trained kunoichi's cheeks so good that she no longer wants to assassinate you.

Afro turned from the coldest samurai to swag 1 MILLION SAMURAI

"These are my hands KZfaq"🤣🤣🤣🤣 fucking hilarious

Who’s hyped for his take on Baki season 2?

Not only does CJ produce yet another banger, BUT he elevates it with it being on AFRO SAMURAI!?!? We've Made It.

Missed opportunity to call them the “peanut gallery”

you know hes goated when its snowing, hes smoking and the cigarette is still burning

You know it’s a spectacular day when CJ uploads

Damn, this show is 16 years old and that animation STILL holds up goddamn. And again, the music use in these videos NEVER fucking misses I swear to god. Every time the fuckin Dilemma "~oh~" came in I lost my shit. The clapping though...that was the CROWN JEWEL my g o d. Shit getting so crazy that CJ has to show his face to not get this video nuked. I'm DECEASED.

"You can not tell me bro is not built like the black ass npcs from sonic unleashed " is devious

Bro’s so cold he HAD to say Gyatt

Him telling Kotaro to avenge his father in blood was some Kill Bill shit, holy hell

There actually was an African man who traveled to Japan, and became one of the only foreigners to hold the title of samurai gifted from Nobunaga. His name was Yaskue. I also think it's hilarious because he was like 6'2" or so, and the average height of men in Japan at the time was about 5'3" so he was a monster compared to any of them.

Afro samurai has some of the best storylines in ALL of anime: REVENGE.

12:48 I was not expecting that LMBO 😂😂

20:28 DJ Noodle Barnacles had me lit 🔥🔥🔥🔥😂

Afro Samurai is without a doubt one of thee most underrated gems that I feel like not a lot people know about or does not give the show any credit it deserves glad you made a video for our boy

That DJ noodle shi had me crying 😭

“letting the BBC hypnotize you and shi “ is wild 😂😂

What i love about Afro Samurai is the Animation still holds up till this day.

Ninja Ninja might be the only character where CJ's voiceover actually matches how the character sounds in the show lol.

For a new member of the round table I recommend Hajime Nagumo. He would be PERFECT for the table. I mean the guy will literally kill just about anyone and doesn't give a damn on whether or not his friends die or not!!!

18:41 wth

"Never in my life have I needed something so much and not known it until I received it." This is about to be an all-time WATCH LFG!!!

In the video game ending, like in the manga, Justice was already dead when Afro found him. However, Afro fought Justice in his mind showing how insane Afro was. During the fight, Justice tells him that Afro choose to get revenge and throwing away his only chance for a normal life. Justice said he fought his father in a one-on-one duel and Afro's anger, obsession, and revenge made Justice, ironically, Afro's God.

Afro Samurai has such clean animations and scenery shot like I’m watching moving art with hip hop tunes

3:04 & 20:26 are my favorite parts omg 😭😭

Fun sad fact: In the manga the kid actually goes to get revenge on Afro after years of looking for him and Afro kills him

The Afro Samurai anime was a creative collaboration between Samuel L. Jackson, Takashi Okazaki, and Gonzo, with the music scored by RZA of the Wu-Tang Clan.

4:08 the cheaks💀💀💀

3:14 I was NOT ready for that laugh. LOL

The dynamic of afro becoming the person who killed his dad is crazy

You think anime Afro was cold, manga Afro was downright evil. In that fight against Shichiguro, the manga pivots to showing a guy and his disabled sister and their argument about the guy going off to the festival. The guy decides to go even though his sister really doesn't want him to cause she's worried about him, and is there in the middle of the fight between Afro and the discount foot clan, and Afro uses the guy as a human shield and the guy is promptly and violently sliced apart. The guy's DISABLED sister who crawls all the way there grabs Afro's leg crying about how could he do that to her brother, and Afro tosses her out in front of the foot clan's leader (who isn't in the anime) who's firing his minigun just to to draw the guy's fire away, and she's torn apart by minigun fire. There was a scene in the movie you didn't bring up where a disabled group of people who were being cared for by....I think it was Otsuru? They show up because they're angry with Afro and it looks like they want to pick a fight with him because they believe he's responsible for her death, but then get scared and decide not to, and Afro leaves them alone. In the manga, the woman he was with was a random woman who was part of a new cult that worshipped Justice. She was an ex-ninja who didn't want Afro to kill Justice because apparently....Justice had ushered in a new peace? She was caring for the elderly and the infirm in here village, and those guys absolutely adored her because she was so kind to them. Well, when Afro reveals that he's going to try to kill Justice, she decides to attack him and he kills her, then the old people show up, see her corpse and then rush him.....and he kills all the old people, when he really didn't have to since I'm fairly certain he could've just ran and left them.

“These are my hands KZfaq!” Came out of left field 😂😂😂😂

15:10-15:22 and 16:32-16:47 funniest thing i've ever seen 😂😂

Afro really is the literal embodiment of both the coldest samurai and the coldest rizzler

Samurai Champloo and Afro Samurai were so unique, but Afro definitely deserved his spot for the best reasons

From 10:30-10:50 had me weak. Why nobody mentioned this part yo.

Hey, his Afro held up his whole body think about that for a moment

I love how Afro Samurai is HipHop, Freddy was Rock and Roll and his dad was Soul music.

I know the seasons only been out a few days but I speak for EVERYONE when I say we need that PICKLE EPISODE! 🤣🤣🤣

Samurai got that black air force energy fr fr main on 4 k tray 😂

“Come get it back in blood”😂😂😂

You know it's gonna be a good day when cj posts
