   Samurai Champloo Vol. 5








I must say things are taking some unpleasant turns for our travelling trio. At the end of volume four they had taken off from each other. During the course of volume 5 they get back together. Jin's past becomes another surface topic. Fuu finally reveals more about the "Samurai who smells of Sunflowers" and why she wants to find him so much. (Geez it only took fricken 19 episodes, selfish little 16 year old.)

Fuu starts to realize that she has grown close in her own fashion to having Jin and Mugen around and begins to wonder if she really wants to reach her ultimate destination for fear that she may never see them after that.

If any of you remember I mentioned in a past post that they were going to meet a much stronger foe than ever before, well you still will not know who it is but the first hint is dropped about this individual in the course of volume five.

Also a new travelling companion throws a new set of bolts into the mix for your mind to wrench on. She questions Fuu on her life with these two would-be heros and asks her to make a very hard choice, which Fuu becomes very emotional over. Over course good ol Mugen is trying like hell to get into the newcomers clothes as he always does when a hottie appears on the scene.

The end of the last episode is a real hanger. Jin is in a fight with one who knows something of his past, and it makes me wonder if this is the fight that near mortally wounds him. This was another of the things that I mentioned in a past post.


Well I hope that I did not reveal to much info for those who are not as far into the series as I am. But I do hope it was enough to tantalize you to buy it and watch it too.
