San. Mugen (Samurai Champloo


An ideal samurai, as we all know, brave, has an x mark, or has a weird ponytail, quiet, calm, cunning, logical or clever, willing to die for his comrade or leader and most of all, has a reliable sword.

None of them represents this dude. Geesh. hehe Well for Jin of course, but for this funky samurai, nah. He is into a different brand of samurai.

I love Cowboy Bebop which I don't know if the movie adaptation with the same director plan will work, has another series, under the name of Samurai Champloo. If Cowboy has a jazz thing, this series is into hip hop. Damn weird, but it's cool. Especially for one character that stands out. Mugen!

That's why the hip hop music element is in the series, because of him. Lazy, with quite a afro hair, arrogrant prick, dumb but dependable, especially never say die attitude.

I like him than Jin. No offense to Jin, but Mugen is just damn good unpredictable samurai. Hehe I can say he is clever in the sense he cheats. hehe Or how about his style? Oh that where the funky part starts to kick in. Wow, a breakdancing, samurai. He has also a weird sword fighting technique and even he is thin, he is strong as well. Deceptive appearance.

Quite maniac as well to chicks. hehe But chicks like him, like one episode which he helped, and that chick ninja wants to be with him. Damn and Mugen well, forgot about her. Another damn. hehe

I don't like him for some, like lazy, dumb, and risky. Especially in the last episodes, he is quite lucky. hehe However, the best quality he has is being brave. How many strong enemies he defeated in the series? Almost all of them. The last enemy was quite hard, harder than Jin's.

That's the best part I saw, on how he defeated that one eye scythe guy. Or even how he defeated the blind assasin mom. Or even how he helped the ninja chick. hehe

This dude, is just not scared of anything, quite energetic as well. If he and Jin will fight (which it did not happen again up to the last part), definitely, Jin will lose badly.

Mugen is quite different from all the samurai that I saw, his style, aura lazy but deadly and of course, fighting skills, like Jin says, unpredictable. He quite mixed samurai, and caopeira style with a little of gulang. hehe

Oh yes, his sword, like a big sai, the only difference is his big sai cuts people.
