Afro Samurai Season 1 quotes

Ninja Ninja

Afro, don't fight this fucker! [assassin cocks his crossbow] He got arrows and grenades 'n' shit! You ain't got no chance, dude!

I think he blew his load.

Become unpredictable, strike from your subconscious mind, let your moves flow out of your individual essence. Even the most masterful opponent will fall from a strike that has no history or reference. The moves created from your own individual unique essence may surprise even you.

What took you so long kid? I got tired of waiting, so I was just thinking of calling and leaving you a voice mail. I've watched ya. I saw you kill your childhood sword buddy. I even chuckled when you shed that imaginary friend of yours. You've grown into a fine killer. But you're still vulnerable. Like your daddy you're soft on the inside. He couldn't handle the constant blood on his hands from the Headband Wars. He actually wanted to just hide the number one headband and seal that legend from the world. But all he did was stir up a hornet's nest of lust for power. People just kept killing each other. Death raged on for them headbands. Them headbands make a man crazy. Not a single loser who put that dumbass piece of cloth on his head reached number one, they just kept dying over each other. With no one taking the world by the reigns, a tornado of chaos of killing spun out of control. Don't you know that absolute power leads to ultimate peace? Power ain't nothing if you don't use it. I call it a sin not to rule the world if you've been blessed with the strength. The world is lost. All this chaos and pain, it's time for someone to take control. It's time for a man to use absolute power for the cause of ultimate peace. It's time for a man to rid the world of conflict and allow all men and women, young and old to live in tranquility. It is time for man to become god where god has failed. First I took the head of the most powerful samurai in the world. A man feared and respected for his sublime skills; your daddy. Then when fate lead me here, to this sacred place, a great ancient secret was revealed to me; Obtaining the number one headband just ain't enough boy. You think it's mere coincidence you don't have a father? Friend? Or master? All of them were sacrificed. You stand before me now for the same reason; Destiny designed me to possess all the headbands. Now you get it. You don't just gotta have the one; you gotta have 'em all. Then and only then will ultimate power be bestowed by a power beyond the mystery of human understanding. I think your daddy knew. I think the only reason he accepted my challenge was to prevent me from learning this truth. Now, here, secluded in this holy place, I will defeat you and take both headbands into my possession. You're here to hand me the number two headband Afro Samurai, so I may rule the world. I will...be God!

[after supposedly being killed by Afro] Is that it? And I thought you loved your pappy. I thought all those souls you sent to Heaven behind you...mattered. But only now you see...your little anger is just a sea spray of blood in the endless ocean of this world's killing. It's got no end. And no beginning. Just the strong and the dead. Only cursed ones like you and I can stomach this truth.
