Samurai Champloo 1.02

Redeye Reprisal

The judge's son from the previous episode, who lost an arm fighting with Mugen, returns. He brings with him a large, ogre-like man who has killed a lot of people. The judge's son sets traps for Mugen, Jin, and Fuu.

Fuu passes out and has to be carried. Jin and Mugen drop her off in an abandoned shack. 

Mugen gets lured away from the others by a woman who invites him to spend the night with her. She poison's him and then explains that only the judge's son has the antidote.

Jin goes to soak in a spring and meets an assassin whom the judge's son hired. The two men fight. The assassin is impressed by Jin's skill with a sword.

Fuu shares a brief moments with the ogre when she wakes up. It moves him and he later repays her kindness. Mugen finds the judge's son, fights with the ogre, and is almost killed. The fight between Jin and the assassin ends when the assassin sees that his client, the judge's son, is dead.

Thoughts

This was a decent episode. It is its own little story and it ties into the previous episode. I have a feeling that the assassin will be back but I'm not sure when.
