| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- lol, this is for the first time when i am seeing christian religion in the anime ))) a few episodes more to go.. |
| That guy was weird. Serves him right to suffer! |
| Such junk... |
| For a Japanese guy, he did a pretty job at faking a Westerner accent while speaking Japanese... I suppose no one suspected him when he spoke with perfect grammar and such since they thought he was some emissary sent by God and just naturally able to speak all languages perfectly? Enjoyable episode. Expected that the Sunflower Samurai was Fuu's dad, of course. XD Wouldn't have expected that he was mixed up in the Christian religion though! Interesting twist~ |
| Another pretty pointless episode. Funny and original in some sort of way. |
 |
| Awesome episode. Didn't expect to hear so much about the samurai who smells of sunflowers, considering they sort of manage to get off track ^_^' Not that, that's a bad thing of course. xD |
 |
| Finaly we got some more clues of the sunflower samurai. I would never have guessed there was a cross hidden in that skull. |
| I kinda guessed that the sunflower samurai was Fu's father, but I liked this episode anyway. |
 |
| Using God's name for money I knew it, the sunflower samurai was her father - well it's been 19th episode and just this time she told them who he was it's not something out of the blue but someone who's dear to her. But either way, I don't find the plot to be the real one, it's more on Mugen and Jin |
Live well - Laugh often - and Love much |
| God sent that priest to his domain instead...hahaha, *clears throat* Amen I knew from two episode ago Fuu's father was this Samurai who smells of sunflower. |
| I hate the way they use that stupid accent when they're pretending to be westerners speaking Japanese. Fairly pointless episode again, this anime hasn't really lived up to expectations so far. |

Zell182 said: I hate the way they use that stupid accent when they're pretending to be westerners speaking Japanese. Awww. I thought it was hilarious! Like when Jiraiya's seiyuu did the gay dutch guy a few episodes back! And if you've every seen Ika Musume, the three MIT scientists have the same accent going on, and it 's so funny! Well, nice episode, and they finally got round to confirming the connection between the sunflower samurai and Fuu. Well, this series is more about eating while traveling then it is about any one overriding plot. It's not Cowboy Beebop where the emphasis is the other way round! |
 |
| Great episode even though I knew the sunflower samurai was Fuu's father. Serves the fake priest right. Would have been ironic justice if he was crushed by the cross. |
Oh, My God! LOL, priceless when that cross was about to hit. |
 |
| Well, it didn't really come as a surprise that the samurai is Fuu's father. They could have revealed it earlier and quit beating around the bush when it was fairly clear. |
| I knew it that the samurai they're looking after was Fuu's dad! Just knew it! The episode it self was quite interesting that being with the influence of Christianity and weapon trades... Maybe they've got a lead now lets see where their path will lead next! |
 |
| Symbolic episode. Once again the trio's involvement was great, especially Fuu. Also the Sunflower Samurai is officially confirmed as Fuu's dad, really looking forward to the real plot episodes/climax (though I still absolutely love how it's been up to now). |
 |
| Very allegorical episode. Referenced religious persecution particularly against Christians and how religion can be manipulated to control people. |

| Religion is the most profitable venture.. |
| The first episode I didn't like. I don't care about all the religious crap and nothing interesting happened in this episode. |
| Average episode and get a bit of new info about the sunflower samurai and it turns out, it's Fuu's father of all people! And also, GOD!!!!! |
Veethorn said: Another pretty pointless episode. Funny and original in some sort of way. ???how. we learned the sunflower samurai's name and that he was Fuu's father |
| I feel like it was unsurprising to many of us that it turned out to be her father she is looking for, but at least we finally officially got a clue for the main plot. Well this wasn't as good as last episode, just another fellow thinking he has power and such but cowers when has lost it. . by the way, would you call that suicide? It wasn't intentional of him. . I don't know. |
 |
| Cool episode! How on earth did people take this as a pointless episode? |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| Pretty cool episode. I knew the sunflower samurai was Fuu's dad. |
| The fake priest got what he deserved. Amen |
 |
| I like the topic of this episode. And finally revealed: Samurai who smells of sunflower is Fuu's father. |
| I laughed so hard when he said that heaven is full and you need the weapon as a visa to travel to heaven. As a religious person who believes in heaven this completely cracked me up XD It seems obvious now that I know the samurai is Fuu's father, however I didn't guess it before. Good episode. |

| Very good episode about christian religion. I was expecting the sunflower samurai to be related to Fuu. |
 |
| As expected sunflower samurai is Fuu's father. Looking forward to their meeting. |
 |
| I love it when his nose fell off and THAT was the tell he was a fake priest. Can someone spell racism? |
| I don't understand why people thought this was pointless. We learned so much about the samurai that smells of sunflowers plus this entire episode was full of historical context, this all actually happened back in the Edo period. |
| It was pretty clear to me that the samurai was her father but i wonder why she want to find him so bad, what has he done |
| As a christian, this brought a big smile to my face watching the fake priest get his Just deserts. |
 |
| Even samurai champloo has some hidden critiic towards religion and christianity - despite this fact the episode was okay. |
 |
| After all this time, she finally tells them who the samurai is. 4/5 |
 |
| The fake priest was very funny, even his face was fake lol They gave some clues before so I suspected the sunflower samurai was her father. Also I like how they were building those tanegashima blunderbusses and selling them on the black market, considering that they were kind of antiquated at that time. |
| Heaven got overpopulated?:D Underneath the comedy, it was really a nice episode on how religion is manipulated. Also, glad they finally found someone who knew the samurai they're looking for. |

alpir said: The first episode I didn't like. I don't care about all the religious crap and nothing interesting happened in this episode. Yeah, this. But at least we know what that skull is now? |
| The fake priest with all of his accessories on reminds me a lot of Betelgeuse from Re:Zero |

| Amen This anime just made me believe in God xD |
"Signature removed"   |
| That was an interesting episode and we learned more about the sunflower samurai, if it is that guy. Makes sense it's her dad, I did wonder if it was, or some sort of relative like a brother. |
 |
| "A cross is a good luck charm for Christians." Huh, I've never heard it described that way before, but she's not wrong. |
