- Overview
- Plot
Afro Samurai: Resurrection is an anime-film following directly after the original story-line of the Afro Samurai anime.
This story is about Afro refusing the Number One Headband and Sio and Kuma trying to get revenge on Afro.
The plot of the movie takes place several years after Afro defeats Justice and becomes the owner of the number one headband. However, due to the overwhelming burden of death the headband brings, Afro decides to abandon the lifestyle he has and instead spends his time chopping wood figures.
Unbeknownst to Afro he is in great danger now that an old enemy appears to seek revenge. Sio, a mysterious woman who apparently suffered because of the actions of Afro, seeks to torture Afro in an attempt to restore justice. Afro meets Jinno, who is now working for Sio, early in the film. Jinno attacks Afro unexpectedly, resulting in Afro being instantly defeated. Jinno takes Afro's unconscious body to Sio. Sio then takes the number one headband from Afro. She finds the grave of Afro's father, Rokutaro, and takes his jaw, hoping to genetically clone him and make him kill Afro.
After his defeat, Afro begins to seek out Sio. Due to samurai code, Afro knows that he may not immediately challenge Sio for the number one headband. Only the owner of the number two headband may challenge the owner of the number one. Thus, Afro begins seeking out the owner of the number two headband with the help of Ninja Ninja.
To track down the location of the current number two, Afro and Ninja Ninja decide to find the third brother of the empty seven clan, who also happens to be the only surviving member. Brother three offers Afro a deal: If Afro can beat him in a game of dice, then he will tell Afro the location of the number two headband. If Afro loses, however, then Afro must be killed. Afro agrees to play. Brother three wins the game of dice easily. Afro quickly discovers that Brother Three was cheating and threatens to kill him. Out of fear, Brother three then tells Afro the location of the number two headband. He tells Afro that a man known as Shichigoro is in the possession of the headband, and is possibly in a nearby town where a festival is being carried out.
On the way to the town Afro and Ninja Ninja witnesses a man kidnapping a small child. The father of the child chases the criminal, but cannot catch up. The kidnapper recognizes Afro while running away and freezes in place, staring at Afro. He then tries to shoot Afro out of fear. Afro, presumably to protect his anonymity, cuts down the kidnapper instantly. The father of the child, who happens to be Shichigoro, is very grateful towards Afro and offers him a drink in the nearby town that Afro was headed towards. Afro accepts the offer.
