I like this episode a lot. It's like they finally understood they're not together just "by chance". They realised they're friends. ^_~

So I see Jin doesn't have as much interest as Mugen does in taking the others life since he hadn't remembered his promise when leaving the group. Hm, this last episode only seems more and more interesting as we approach it. Oh and special ED again, nice!

What a fantastic ending to an already great episode. :) The music really works well in this series, seriously... Brings a lot of feeling to scenes and really enhances the watching experience? And such.

Jin's respect for life is actually pretty cool, and Mugen's desire to just fight strong opponents is kind of interesting too.

Thats right, silence at the end was so meaningful... And that song was pretty athmospheric, too.

Quite nice episode that man was really something, really great ending though a sad one it's still great! It's good that they reunited and that they're back on route to their destination! But yea I'm beginning to think that the samurai is Fuu's dad!

New ED or just for this episode?

Umeko Ando (安東 ウメ子 Andō Umeko?, November 20, 1932 – July 15, 2004) was an Ainu singer and mukkuri player. In addition to recording several albums, often with Oki Kano, she is featured posthumously on the Samurai Champloo soundtrack with her song "Pekambe Uk" (ペカンベ ウㇰ?, "Wheat Harvesting Song").
The episode that featured this song was dedicated in her memory (around minute 6:25-8:21)

Okuru - badass. Taking out the arrow from his body and piercing it through opponent. He even didn't make a sound while he was burning.
Way to make up lol.

This.
Everyone is stupid in their own way, that's why they are great together :D
I wonder how will Fuu find that Samurai man without knowing his name or face, who says the smell last forever XD?

Fuu should really stop meeting people they always end up dead.

Good episode though the soundtrack is great.

Had to look her up after the ending, than ended up looking up Ainu people. It gave me a pretty good idea of what race Okuru and Mugen are.

That arc right now is way too slow for my personal choice but either way it's conclude now and we can move on. The fighting on the other hand was to the point. No objections in this regard.

Not surprised that the three amigos got back together.

On a side note: Okuru was awesome. Especially at the fact he was shot with flame arrows and STILL moving.

Okuru on fire and jumping off the cliff in to the water! D: OMG! and how was he not starting to look charred? o_O lol.

That was scary!

I'm glad they made up and friends again! <3 :3
