Samurai Champloo
Season 01
E08 - The Art Of Altercation
The singing swordsman Nagamitsu and two accompanying thugs hunt for Jin, challenging any glasses-wearing samurai they find. While at a restaurant, Mugen and Jin are infatuated with the curvaceous Budokiba. Budokiba spikes Mugen and Jin’s drinks, knocking them out. Meanwhile, Fuu goes out to meet Nagamitsu, and learns he is hunting Jin. She tries to warn them but finds both Mugen and Jin unconscious. The trio manage to earn money by doing tricks, and Jin meets Nagamitsu. One of Nagamitsu’s followers, Ogura, challenges him to a duel. Jin is more skilled, but allows Oruga to win, sparing his life. Budokiba’s dog interrupts the conflict, revealing Nagamitsu to be her partner. The episode ends with Nagamitsu and Budokiba, their kids and their dog on a boat sailing away while Fuu, Mugen and Jin continue on their journey.
