And one more body to the body toll.

May God rest this poor bastard's soul.

Yo, Afro ! Ain't you gonna say nuthin' ?

I'm talking to you.

I said I'm talking to you !

Long time, no see, Afro.

Hey, correct me if I'm wrong,

But I don't think a teddy bear is supposed to be walking around a damn commons strapped with blades.

I got a bad feeling about this.

You don't want to be messing with this guy, Afro.

I'm telling you, man.

That shit ain't natural !

He might look cute and all, but I got a suspicion this one's a pro !

He for real !

Look, I know you got mad skills and all and I ain't trying to be passing mystic here,

But you're headed straight to the dirt nap.

Please !

This time you could really bite it, and I ain't going with you !

You sure about this ?

Because if you is...

Suit yourself.

Oh, man !

Hey hey hey...

Yo yo yo yo !

Yo wait up, hold up !

Damn, you one stubborn samurai.

Com'on man, chill, listen to what I gotta say for once, please.

Oh, watch it !

He about to bust a two sword move on you.

Oh, watch ya left, man.

No no no, watch ya right !

Why do you not draw out your sword ?

If you want the Number One, you must first defeat me.

You have come to defeat the Number One, haven't you ?

If you wear the Number Two band, then you must fight.

' The hell ?

Perhaps the rumors about the Afro Samurai are not true,

That he cuts all that stand in his path,

That his only movement is forward.

But you just look like an afro headed coward !

Come to think of it, I can't even take a warrior with such stupid hair seriously !

Afro !

What the deal yo B' ?

If you gonna run, run !

If you gonna fight, then damnit, fight !

Such a fleeting moment in time...

Nothing remains,

Everything ends !

Hey, Jino.

I have a question.

Why do you use two swords instead of one ?

With two I can be the best, Otsuru.

See, there're lots of reasons.

You see, with two smaller blades, I can swing faster than a guy with both hands on one big sword.

And I can attack and defend at the same time.

I could even fight if one of my arms got cut off, 'cause I'd still have one left.

It's really the ultimate fighting style.

Oops, sorry. Guess I got a little carried away.

I'm... done.

Jino.

You're really serious about the sword fighting, aren't you ?

Of course. I have to protect everyone.

You. Afro. All the students here.

When Sword Master is too old to fight,

I'm gonna have to be strong enough to look after this place.

I heard some pip-squeak's been running loose, killing assassins.

That pip-squeak wouldn't happen to be a kid like this one we've got here, would it ?

I think we got a match here, boys.

Eh, pip-squeak ?

Wanna know where I can find the Number Two.

Dunno nuthin' about it.

So what're you gonna do about that ?

'Cause you see, we're on the same path, kid.

Rumors of the Number Two led us to this dump.

And we can't have no kid chasing our prize.

Afro !

Jino !

What have you gotten yourself into ?

Okay, you and I are gonna talk about this later.

But first, I gotta save your dumbass.

You son of a-

Afro !

Tell me what you know !

Where is the Number Two ?

Number Two... is quite near...

Number Two... is quite near...

Oh, it's you again.

There you go, sonny.

You just can't get enough lemonade, can you ?

Afro.

Forget avenging your father.

Live your own life.

Otsuru cares about you, I care about you.

We're your family now.

Good day, sir.

Well, hello there.

Thank you always for your kind business with us.

Say, that Sword Master of yours...

Is he allright ?

Uh ?

On the festival evening, I heard that some rogue tried to start up a fight with him.

There are some odd talks around the town.

That some sword dojo master is the owner of the Number Two headband...

And they say that his students have been brainwashed to be watchdogs.

What ? Our Sword Master wouldn't !

Sorry ! Sorry. I didn't mean to...

I mean there are plenty of other Sword Masters everywhere,

So it must be some other man.

Jino.

Did I wake you ?

You should get some rest.

Master...

I smell blood.

I was attacked, but that fool lost his life instead.

Sasuke.

Jino.

Afro.

On this day, we commemorate your graduation.

You are now great warriors.

Use wisely the sword skills you have acquired.

Master.

Yes, Afro ?

There is something I would like to know.

Afro.

Are you really Number Two ?

Afro.

After the midnight, before the Boulè Tree, I will be waiting.

I meant to take the secret to the grave, but I see I have no choice.

Choose, Afro Samurai !

Forget revenge...

Or fight me to the death for the Number Two headband !

But know you well this truth.

If you win, you will know no friend.

No joy. No love.

Only the murderous violence the Number Two headband incites in the heart of every man who desires the power of the Number One.

Truly, can you handle that burden ?

Afro !

Master, what's going on ?

Master, please stop !

Afro, what are you doing ?

Master ?

There he is !

Quit your wasting your time with that kid !

Jino.

Fight us !

The Number Two headband is mine !

Master ?

Jino.

Take everyone and run.

Run and live.

Now you will see what it means to wear the Number Two headband.

Master !

Master !

No !

Fool ! Stay out of this !

Master !

Stay away from me !

Let's see what you've got.

Playtime's over, kiddies.

Sasuke ! No !

Chop him !

Jino ! Matasaburo !

Otsuru !

Jino !

Jino...

Afro.

You have chosen your path.

Afro...

No... Don't...

Why...

Why did you kill our master ?

What have you done ?

He's dead, and you... You chose revenge over our master.

Over everyone.

We're your family. Why ?

For my... true father.

What about us ?

What about us ?

I...

Treated you as my brother.

I will never forgive you.

Jino !

Hey Afro.

Who ?

What you're waiting for ?

You really sure that's the right decision ?

I mean, if you wanna wear it, it's okay man.

Don't do it man, seriously.

Don't do it.

Damn, there goes the neighborhood...

Good. I'm glad you've lasted this long.

I want you to die slowly.

I want you to burn, bleed, suffer as I have.

Come on ! What is taking so long ?

Just finish him off !

I take orders from no one !

How dare you ?

You will obey my orders and finish the Afro.

You must not fail as the Empty Seven have.

Don't compare me to them.

I don't care about the useless headband.

I just want Afro !

I want him hurt !

I want him crippled !

He'll bleed for all the pain he's caused.

Do what you want, then.

You don't know how long I've waited.

To avenge the deaths of those who loved and trusted you !

My tears have never stopped falling.

Since that day.

Jino.
