Set in the bewildering planes of feudal japan during a time of astroscious hostility, Afro Samurai is a story about the struggle for vengance of a samurai called "Afro." His undying thirst to kill a man named "Justice" is unquenchable by nothing but this man's blood and death. Afro's anger was not without merit, when he was a child he saw his father's head severed right in front of his eyes, by a challenger named Justice. His father was the "number one" at that time, however, and it is said that who ever has the title "number one" and wears the legendary bandana gains amazing powers - powers, that would rival that of a god. "Justice" was the "number two" at that time, and according to the rule, only a "number two" could challenge the "number one." The bad thing is that there is no number three so everyone else is free to attack him in order to take the place of "number two." The story continues as "Afro," the child who saw his father murdered right in front of him, grows into an incredibly strong man and claims the throne as "number two." His drive is to kill "Justice" and avenge his father.
