Line 15:
* Meta Knight in ''[[Kirby]]'s'' [[Kirby of the Stars|anime]] [[The Anime of the Game|of the game]] would talk about Musou ("peerlessness"). One time he stands to fight for Kirby, declaring [[I Am Your Opponent|I WILL BE YOUR OPPONENT]] as leaves blow by.
* Twilight Suzuka in ''[[Outlaw Star]]''. Slightly less out-of-nowhere, at least in that it's no stranger than the Chinese Magic-using [[Space Pirates]] they already introduced.
* Mr. Bushido in ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]]''
* Elites in ''[[Halo Legends (Anime)|Halo Legends]]'' have samurai-ified armor, clothes and hairstyle(s). And buildings. Do buildings count?
* Toudoh in ''[[Code Geass]]'' is another future samurai.
Line 44:
== Films -- Live-Action ==
* In ''[[Brazil (film)|Brazil]]'', Sam's later [[Dream Sequence
* ''[[Red Sun]]'' is a western with a samurai thrown in. Better than it sounds. Considering who plays the samurai ([[Toshiro Mifune]]), it should be.
* ''[[Six String Samurai]]'' is an epic [[After the End]] tale where the King, Elvis, has died, and samurai Buddy Holly travels to "Lost Vegas" to take his place. Standing in his way are Bowlers, Communists, and the [[Grim Reaper]] aka Slash from [[Guns N' Roses]].
Line 69:
== Music ==
* [[Barenaked Ladies]]. In their song "One Week", mention is made to this mentality. "Kay I don't make films, but if I did, they'd have a samurai."
* Gakupo from [[Vocaloid
* Hodgy Beats of [[OFWGKTA]] has a song titled "Samurai" on his Untitled EP
Line 97:
* The penultimate boss of ''[[Blaz Blue]]'' is Hakumen, a [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|Cyborg Zombie Samurai]].
* The ''[[Kirby]]'' games' "Quick Draw" minigame have the characters dressed as samurai. (Though earlier English translations replaced samurai with cowboys, turning a [[Single-Stroke Battle]] into a wild west shootout.)
* In ''[[Pokémon]]'', [[Pokémon Black and White|the starter Oshawott's]] entire evolutionary line is based around
* The old and mostly forgotten ''First Samurai'' bilogy of platform games. The title is also a pun on ''The Last Ninja'' series of games.
