Who's your favorite samurai?

[Leemaster777]

So, with all the anime, video games, movies, etc. out there, there's quite a few samurai out there.

My question is, who's your favorite follower of Bushido?

For me, it's a close call between Auron:

and Samurai Jack:

What about you guys?

 

[Euryptus]

Gorōbei Katayama from Kurosawa's Seven Samurai.

Though any of the band qualify. If you haven't seen the film yet - do so.

That is all.

That is all.

While I agree, being the stereotypical *insert insult here* that I am, I prefer Kyuzo:

Spoiler: The Swordsman

Either him or this guy:

Spoiler: Nemo

 

[LoFr3Eq]

Samurai Jack > all...

 

[Tanakh]

Takemitsu Zamurai's Senou Souichirou, probably. I might be forgetting someone though.

 

[otakon17]

Zanger Zombolt. There is NOTHING he cannot cut.

 

[NotSoLoneWanderer]

Mugen from Samurai Champloo but Samurai Jack is pretty cool. Best show on cartoon network.

 

[Rawne1980]

Samurai, master of the blade.

Genuine hard, mental bastards.

Yet one film managed to make them look like gimps (and no i'm not talking about Last Samurai with Tom Cruise).

One film managed to make the Samurai look laughable and for that, and for making me think it was a comedy for some reason, Forest Whitaker in "Ghost Dog" is my favourite Samurai.

 

[shadow_Fox81]

I've always liked the nameless protagonist from sword of the stranger.

 

[DexterNorgam]

Nope, all previous to me are fail.

Saito Hajime FTW.

 

[Airsoftslayer93]

Is that robert downey jr?

 

[Blue Horn]

Zatoichi the Blind-swordsman (The original, not the 2003 reboot)

 

[teebeeohh]

my Shimazu katana hero from shogun 2, the guy wreak havoc through enemy yari formations on a daily basis

 

[are.you.the.god.its.me.vader]

The only samurai that matters.....Samurai Jack.

 

[Arctarus'sCookie]

It's definitely Samurai Jack. Going into different dimensions and 100% level headedness in all situations.


*Pony related sentence in spoiler. Read at your own risk*

Or if someone makes it "Samurai Applejack".

 

[Leemaster777]

Is that robert downey jr?

Uh... no? He doesn't even LOOK like Robert Downey Jr.

 

[DexterNorgam]

Is that robert downey jr?

Uh... no? He doesn't even LOOK like Robert Downey Jr.

Actually, he does... alot.

 

[grimgor42]

I'm going to have to go with Samurai Jack.

 

[Deus mortuus est]

Kenshin, of course. The only one here who could beat Saito Hajime, mentioned above, and Satio is a real badass.
