Samurai Champloo - Opening | Battlecry

Watch Samurai Champloo here! got.cr/cc-scop

This screams late night adult swim

All adult swim animes just hit different with that sleepy nostalgic vibe to it. Shout out to everyone who grew up in that early 2000s anime era.

'Naw bro, we don't skip this intro.'

We need more hip-hop inspired music in anime, or even just in anime openings like this

Mixing samurai and hip hop is absolute genius

I miss this style of anime the most.

Black Lagoon. Cowboy Bebop. Samurai Champloo. These are Some of my favourite anime, the stories and characters in those series just hit a different way. ❤️

This the hardest Anime intro song I’ve ever heard and it’s STILL untouchable in 2022

“Some days some nights, some live some die in the way of the samurai” lives in my head head rent free

One of the best opening ever. R.I.P Nujabes.

I love how the lyrics perfectly fit each of the characters. Mugen: "Sharp like an edge of a samurai sword The mental blade cut through flesh and bone Though my mind's at peace, the world out of order Missing the inner heat, life gets colder" Mugen's fighting style is unconventional, yet sharp like the blade he wields, and it is this unpredictabilty that allows him to easily cut through obstacles. Despite his traumatic childhood, he seems to be the most at peace with himself compared to his companions. This is likely due to his understanding that the world is out of order and life is difficult. As a result, he has become a realist who sees things as they are, without being overly optimistic or pessimistic. Jin: "Oh yes, I have to find my path No less, walk on earth, water, and fire The elements compose a magnum opus My modus operandi is amalgam" Jin is a person who is motivated by a deep sense of purpose and a quest for meaning. He has already overcome numerous challenges, symbolized by his journey through earth, water, and fire, which represent the hardships of his life. The phrase "magnum opus" is used to describe Jin's fighting style, which is comparable to the work of an artist or composer. This is fitting, as Jin's battles are characterized by grace and elegance. Overall, Jin's character is defined by his resilience and his pursuit of excellence in all aspects of his life. He is a true samurai. Fuu: "Steel packed tight in micro-chip On my armor a sign of all-pro The ultimate reward is honor, not awards At odds with the times in wards with no lords" Fuu is undoubtedly the smartest member of the trio, with a determined focus on finding the Samurai who smells of sunflowers. Her "steel packed" demeanor suggests that she is the team's innovator and the one who holds Mugen and Jin together. Fuu's motivation seems to stem from a sense of honor rather than material gain, as evidenced by the third line. Her personality strikes a perfect balance between Jin's Samurai side and Mugen's Champloo renegade side, blending both worlds seamlessly. Overall, Fuu's presence is essential to the success of the trio.

1:14 fuu’s smiling face always gets me.

Fun fact: The Boondocks intro was inspired by this! Love Samurai Champloo!

just finished this anime and it’s a fucking master piece

This intro just hits different then any anime intro I know. I do and will always love this anime. Such a classic and wish I could go back to the old days.

Happy 20th Anniversary Samurai Champloo. 🎆✨🎉🎂👏

This opening pretty much single-handedly started Lo-fi culture as we know today.

This anime was so surreal... I felt like I was in a dream every time I watched an episode. I had the same feeling when I watched cowboy bebop. Shiniichiro watanabe is so taletned

This show is an absolute masterpiece, from start to finish.
