Afro samurai is a anime series cartoon set in a "futuristic, yet feudal Japan," and stars a samurai named Afro for his hair. The story follows Afro as he tries to avenge his father's murder. In the world of Afro Samurai, it is said that the one who becomes "Number One", will rule the world, wielding powers akin to a god. Someone becomes Number One by killing the previous Number One and taking his ceremonial headband. However, the only rule in this world is that only the "Number Two" (also designated by a sacred headband) is allowed to fight the "Number One." The downside of this is that anyone (and typically everyone) can challenge and try to kill the Number Two, to gain the right to move forward and challenge Number One. Afro Samurai's father was the old Number One, until he was challenged by a gunman, "Justice" (who was then Number Two), who fought him in a duel to become the new Number One. At the time the gunman challenged his father, Afro had only been a child. The gunman severed his father's head right in front of the young Afro. Now an adult, Afro Samurai is the current Number Two and a master swordsman; he travels the road seeking revenge on Justice, the current Number One. Lengthy flashbacks interspersed throughout the story detail how Afro rose from frightened boy fleeing the death of his father, to master swordsman, and eventually to become the current "Number Two", while the story in the present deals with the adult Afro making his way to the mountain top keep of the "Number One" to duel Justice, while at the same time the mysterious cult known as the "Empty Seven Clan" sends various agents to kill Afro and take his Number Two headband.

Unlike naruto afro samurai is a african-american anime (naruto is still cool.) and you dont just get a headband when you become a ninja like naruto you have to kill for your headband #1 headband is the greatest headband you can earn.

afro has an enemy named justice who kiled his father when he was younger now afro has to avenge his father by taking

bak the #1 headband(shown above.)

After killing his friends father(kuma) for the #2 headband he wasnt frinds with him any more so he had an imaginary friend that goes by the name of
ninja ninja. He is always complementing afro when he wins a fight but yet he is no where in sight when afro is fighting.
( He is like a yes man or a kiss up.)


Kuma is afro's old friend.(He wears a bear head because he had sugery on his head because he fell off a cliff.


After watching is father die in a duel against an unbeatable
villian known only as 'Justice,' young Afro fixes his life on
the study of swords and revenge. Along his solitary path of
revenge for his murdered father, he sheds no tears and
knows no love. Forever chased by powerful enemies in a
lawless technology-speckled dystopia, he evades bullets
and blade to reach his final prey: a man who will not die.
But Afro will reach his quarry - even if it means painting a
road of blood and brains from here to the bitter inevitable
end.
