Samurai Champloo: Difference between revisions

* [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]]:

** How fans of Fuugen often justify the pairing; based primarily on their constant arguing/making fun of/insulting each other despite repeatedly rescuing (Mugen, moreso)/crying over (Fuu, obviously) each other. It also helps that there's this gem by [[Word of God]]:

** Entirely canonical example with Mugen and Yatsuha: Mugen spends the entire episode trying to have sex with her, she divides her time between manipulating him through this and [[Abuse Is Okay When It Is Female On Male|beating the crap out of him when he gets too forward]]. At the very end of the episode, however, she cheerfully tells her brother that she intends to marry him once they're both finished with their respective quests.

* [[Between My Legs]]: The shot when Mugen confronts Shoryuu.

* [[Broke Episode]]: One of the three major episode situations of ''Samurai Champloo''. Usually the responsibility for getting money/food/other necessary items fell on Jin; Mugen and Fuu forced him to pawn his swords at least twice, and his glasses once.

* [[But for Me It Was Tuesday]]: Mugen doesn't remember many of the people who come after him in the series in a rare heroic (sort of) example of this trope.

'''Mugen''': Sorry...''who are you?'' }}

* [[Carrying the Antidote]]: The deranged, revenge-driven Ryujiro in episode two.

* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: In his introductory episode, there are a couple of scenes where it looks/sounds like Manzo the Saw is masturbating, but it turns out to be something innocent (i.e. exercising with his unique weapon). This is probably because he's a parody of [[wikipedia:Hanzo the razor|Hanzo the Razor]], who engaged in some...unique sexual practices.

* [[Double Entendre]]: A conversation during Isaac Kitching's (aka, the guy from Holland's) last scenes goes a little something like this:

'''Mugen''': As if anyone's ass is safe with you around! }}

** Now, normally, it wouldn't sound so bad, but then you [[Straight Gay|remember why Isaac came to Japan in the first place]] and it takes on a whole new meaning.

** Also Surprisingly Good Dutch: Though red-haired foreigner Isaac is played by a Japanese voice actor, his lines in Dutch are grammatically correct. The other Dutchmen in the episode are played by native (southern) Dutchmen delivering lines in their own language. (Although the word "opperhoofd" does ''not'' means "boss". It means "tribal chief" and is completely wrong in the context of the episode.)

* [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]]: Fuu.

'''Fuu:''' Huh?! Of ''course'' I'm not jealous! What in the world would lead you to believe I'm jealous?! Nope! Lone wolf wannabes like Jin with that far-off look of theirs, the kind that doesn't let you know at all what they're thinking, are ''so'' not my type. (Mugen rolls over, asleep and snoring, and she grimaces and snaps:) ''[[Ship Tease|And]] [[OT 3|they]] [[Not So Different|snore!!]]'' }}

* [[Swipe Your Blade Off]]

* [[Toplessness From the Back]]: The artist who wants to draw Fuu asks her to lower her kimono collar, invoking this.

* [[True Art Is Incomprehensible]]: In-universe example: Fuu meets a struggling artist named Hishikawa Moronobu (an actual historical figure who helped make the Ukiyo-e art style famous), who can't seem to find a good inspiration for his works. He sees Fuu, and is inspired to create a famous painting called "Backwards Beauty". Fuu said she liked the painting because he gave her very large breasts.

* [[Unexplained Recovery]]: In the third part of the last episode, {{spoiler|Kariya apparently kills the Sunflower Samurai's old retainer...who is fine after Mugen and Jin finish off Kariya and the brothers murderous.}}

* [[Victoria's Secret Compartment]]: Fuu has a pet flying squirrel named Momo who lives in her kimono.
