    The worst part about Afro killing Kotaro? HE DIDN'T MEAN TO. He was actually FULLY accepting of death and Kotaros vengeance..... *but his instincts were too on point and his body automatically weeved Kotaros attack and ended him in the blink of an eye. Afro was shocked and horrified at what he did.*

      Y'know how he did ALL of what he did just so he could get to Justice, finally? In the anime, it was a big climatic and cathartic fight. He didn't get that in the manga though, because when he finally got to him? *Justice was already long dead, he literally just turned to dust before Afros eyes* .So, Afro being denied his cathartic vengeance and seeing that everything was for nothing, he spent literal YEARS just.... on his knees, unable to process his pointless journey and the lives taken for nothing. No words said or big yell of sorrow, just utterly catatonic for years, long for enough for Kotaro had GROWN UP, got his OWN number 2 headband story.

    Just to give context to him killing Kotaro, the sad/fucked-up fact about it is that he didn't mean to kill him. At all. He was going let that boy cut his head off but he decapitated him instead out of pure reflex and didn't even realize it. And in the manga, Afro is not only a worse demon than in the anime, but he doesn't even get his revenge because Justice was already by the time he found him. So, he murdered and betrayed everyone he ever loved for nothing.

    There actually was an African man who traveled to Japan, and became one of the only foreigners to hold the title of samurai gifted from Nobunaga. His name was Yaskue. I also think it's hilarious because he was like 6'2" or so, and the average height of men in Japan at the time was about 5'3" so he was a monster compared to any of them.

    When Afro lost the number 1 head band his mission to get it back it was no longer about vengeance. The movie showed Afro's character as more of an antagonist than a hero.
    Its time that they make Afro the antagonist and put him against adult Kotaro in a movie or three part OVA. It been over 16 years.

    For those wondering, in the actual show, Brother 3 (with the headphones) was actually repeating "Hachimaki o kudasai," which is Japanese for "Headband, please." Instead of FIGHTING Afro for the Headband like everyone else, this dude politely asked for it.
    He was also notably the only one of the Empty Seven not only to be this peaceful in his attempt to get the Headband, but also the only one to still be alive. Afro decided to spare him and ignore his request simply because Brother 3 never wanted to take his life -- and despite his coldness, he didn't want to needlessly kill him either. (Hilariously, Ninja Ninja ate the tea and rice crackers that Brother 3 offered Afro 😂)

    You think anime Afro was cold, manga Afro was downright evil. In that fight against Shichiguro, the manga pivots to showing a guy and his disabled sister and their argument about the guy going off to the festival. The guy decides to go even though his sister really doesn't want him to cause she's worried about him, and is there in the middle of the fight between Afro and the discount foot clan, and Afro uses the guy as a human shield and the guy is promptly and violently sliced apart. The guy's DISABLED sister who crawls all the way there grabs Afro's leg crying about how could he do that to her brother, and Afro tosses her out in front of the foot clan's leader (who isn't in the anime) who's firing his minigun just to to draw the guy's fire away, and she's torn apart by minigun fire.
    There was a scene in the movie you didn't bring up where a disabled group of people who were being cared for by....I think it was Otsuru? They show up because they're angry with Afro and it looks like they want to pick a fight with him because they believe he's responsible for her death, but then get scared and decide not to, and Afro leaves them alone. In the manga, the woman he was with was a random woman who was part of a new cult that worshipped Justice. She was an ex-ninja who didn't want Afro to kill Justice because apparently....Justice had ushered in a new peace? She was caring for the elderly and the infirm in here village, and those guys absolutely adored her because she was so kind to them. Well, when Afro reveals that he's going to try to kill Justice, she decides to attack him and he kills her, then the old people show up, see her corpse and then rush him.....and he kills all the old people, when he really didn't have to since I'm fairly certain he could've just ran and left them.
