which one was a superior swordsman
Fuu.
She can really handle a sword.
>>157325788
Jin.
Did you even watch the show?
>>157325875
ayyyyyyyyy
>>157325875
She knows how to handle my sword senpaitachi
>>157325875
She can handle my sword if you know what I mean ;)
>>157325788
Jin is way better.
>>157326220
You forgot ^
>>157325788
both were beaten by a qt blind shamisen player
>>157326694
anime blind people don't count
>>157326770
This, and characters who have their eyes closed all the time are "crazy" tier too when they upen their eyes.
who win the Fuubowl?
anyone else disappointed mugen didn't get what he wanted despite that being the lesson?
>>157325875
This. Who knows how many times shes handled their swords

The franchise doesn't belong to Watanabe though. It's probably too complex legally and nobody would touch it.

>which one was a superior swordsman
Jin was better but Mugen was in the good graces of the Shinigami. He evaded death twice.
Mugen was top.
Wasn't the whole point that they were evenly matched? I guess Jin probably had more technical skills, but Mugen had better intuition and his unpredictability during fights made him just as dangerous.
A little off topic but it just occurred to me that Samurai Champloo is in the same category as NGE or even Zack Snyder's superman: It takes well known stereotypes and deconstructs them, resulting in a more grim outlook.
I mean in many shounen series you have the rad, loud mouthed, messy hair, disdain for convention protagonist (eg. Goku, Ichigo) in this case Mugen and the well behaved, formally raised friend / antagonist (eg. Vegeta, Ishida) in this case Jin. Only in SC both are broke scum without a complicated tear soaked background. They are just not very good people.
They're equals
>>157328076
Gennosuke, Seigen is a faget.
>>157331890
This. Jin had far more discipline but mugen's luck was off the fucking charts that it's hard to see him actually losing
If the question who is the better swordsman then it's Jin
Jin vs Himura Kenshin
Who wins?
>>157333104
how much time does Jin have for preparation
anyone wonder how that scythe guy at the end got the moves he did? he was slicing through buildings & stone like they were butter. did he have magic chi too?
>>157333180
100 days for both
>>157327178
Jin is in love with a whore and mugen is going to get married to some shogunate lapdog kunoichi, so no one.
>>157333269
Jin, easily
Kenshin relies on the surprise factor, also nigger has no reach
They were both fucking great, Jin was most likely better. Mugen's swordsmanship was just more interesting to look at.
>>157333284
Was she cucked?
Didn't she like Mugen?
>>157331963
but Jin was better
Hand of God explained why
>>157326220
Don't use emoticons on /a/.
>>157333870
He didn't do shit during that episode.
>>157333576
>cucked
??
>>157333576
>liked Mugen
did she?
also how cucked could she be if she wasn't with him in the first place
>>157332388
>deconstructs
>>157328076
The mangaka that did Shigurui also did Kakugo No Susume, one of the most WTF manga ever created, it is like a dark parody of Kamen Rider/Japanese nationalism/post-apocalypse future.
>>157333576
She seemed more interested in Jin.
I think it's implied that Jin would have lost their first encounter, but he could have beaten Mugen pretty handily by the end of the show. Jin loses the Firefly Samurai, who uses his surrounding and has a style like Mugen's, at the beginning. Kariya, whose style is like Jin's, adapts to and beats Mugen at the end.
>>157337619
I thought it was clear she liked Mugen as she tended to fuss over him more/get more upset when he disappeared. I think Jin just kind of rolled with it.
Mugen because all he needed was some formal training to fix some form mistakes and he would defeat Jin easy peazy
>>157330225
S2 would be redundant for a show like this.
>>157339590
Mugen depends entirely or his spastic flow. Formalism would fuck him up.
Who was a better swordsman?
>>157328076
Probably Gennosuke, but Irako could use his other "sword" and he had the best girl Iku so he wins.
>>157325788
Jin fought traditionally. He didn't know how to adapt.
>>157330225
I missNujabesso fucking much. ;_;7
>>157333576
She liked both of them equally as friends.
>>157326220
lol
>>157327178
Id say if someone had to, it would be Mugen.
But both boys got girls waiting for them (tho i guess Mugen doesnt know this)
>>157330225
It didnt really need a second season.
It would be cool for more shenanigans with them, but completely unnecessary

>>157340136
Is this worth watching?
>>157326001
The point was that their styles served as a foil for each other.
But the God Swordsman in the finale was flat out better than either of them.
>>157342431
Yes.
>>157345769
Coincidentally I just watched the trailer and that frame is what sold me. Thanks.
>>157325788
Jin is better in duels.
Mugen is better in large throwdowns.
>>157340964
You can replace him with Tsutchie.
>>157325788
Mugen considered him as the stronger fighter.
Is Mugen Spike Spiegel's great great great great great grandfather?
Mugens style made heavy use of surprise and I think Jin would have lost in the beginning but won at the end, since he had seen him fight so much, and his technical skills would have made the difference
>>157325788
Jin: Skilled in the forms he was taught and deadly in traditional fights. Cant adapt to chaotic situations.
Mugen: Extremely good reflexes, zero traditional skill. Excels in chaotic situations, but not very good in a traditonal fight.
They were supposed to be opposites. Jin = extreme technique. Mugen = extreme intuition. They cant be compared to the other. Hence why they decided to end their duel in one strike a la anime trope.
>>157349009
it's not impossible
>>157327178
I wanted to see her and Mugen get together at the end
>>157332388
What the fuck are you on about? Both Mugen AND Jin were good people. Even if you disqualify Mugen because of some morally ambiguous actions, Jin still hasnt done anything wrong.
>>157325788
Which one was superior at baseball?
>>157327178
Neither, and I'm kind of glad
>>157342431
Yeah but the anime only adapts half (less than half even) of the manga and shit gets fucking crazy in the second half of the manga. It's definitely worth a read and the artwork is incredible.
Still not the best samurai manga ever, that will always be LW&C, but it's really good.
>>157343459
>But the God Swordsman in the finale was flat out better than either of them.
He fought them both and flat out that stated that
in terms of strength Jin is closest to him.
Jin's the better swordsman. But that doesn't necessarily mean he's a more effective combatant than Mugen.
>>157325788
Is this the homo thread?
>>157328076
Seigen all day long.
He learnt all the Kogan style in a short amount of time while Gennosuke was living there since years.
Plus, once he went blind he learnt once again how to fight by himself, while Gennosuke developed most of his techniques with the help of other people.
Genius vs effort, Seigen is the best one.

>watch show expecting samurai duels
>get educated on japanese brothel houses instead
>>157330225
the studio is kill, who will go after you if you decide to do a second season?
>>157353392yes
Jin is superior, while Mugen compensates by being very unpredictable with his moves
>>157353392
>a board where ppl discuss anime? great, I was looking for somebody to talk with about some shows
>oh look, a thread about samurai champloo, I do wonder if they died or what at the end

>>157352311
Nah. Mugen was better off with Kunoichi girl.
>>157355707
Lurk more,
Jin
