Samurai Champloo / Characters - TV Tropes. Mugen. Mugen's a crazymurderousbreak dancingpirate. Despite him picking fights with everybody, and generally being a dick, he sticks with Fuu on her quest. Amazon Chaser: Mugen usually prefers strong women to the more quiet ones that he meets. The women don't even necessarily need to be fighters—they just have to have a strong will and/or confidence to catch his eye. Animal Motifs: Is associated with Roosters in the opening, possibly because of his arrogant, cocky nature. Anti- Hero: Seems to be a Type V at first, but acquires some traces of a Type IV.

Fuu asked them to make a promise that they would make a journey with her in order to look for a. He's a foul- mouthed Blood Knight who will frequently abandon his companions for the sake of a good fight, and cares little for his promise to Fuu, instead trying to fulfil his promise to kill Jin. But he also teams up with the latter numerous times, rescues Fuu even if it inconveniences him, scorns at the idea of villainy, and in the end, honors his companions as true friends. Awesomeness by Analysis: He learned how to use energy to attack his opponent after having it used once against him, being told what his opponent had done and one month of (mostly irrelevant) training. Balloon Belly: Tends to happen when he seriously overeats. Berserk Button: Not that it takes much to piss him off, but Mugen really can't stand when Japanese people mistreat foreigners like the Dutchman (and the Russian from the manga). Obviously, it hits a little close to home for him. Blood Knight: In one episode, he tries to start a fight with Fuu's pet squirrel. In fact, the only time he ever turns away from a fight is when he goes to rescue Fuu from where she's being held on that island. And that said, he did so reluctantly (he was desperately out- classed and if he'd stayed Kariya would've killed him) and he knew he was running towards another fight anyway. Book Dumb: Semi- literate at best and terrible with numbers. Interestingly, he takes learning how to write rather enthusiastically. But for Me, It Was Tuesday: Cut off one guy's arm and didn't care enough to remember. When his victim tracked him down with a Giant Mook and an elaborate murder plot and promised to make him pay for his crimes, all he got in return was a blank look. Character Development: He slowly comes to care about someone other than himself, most notably Fuu. By the end of the anime, he's also learned to use his head a little bit more in fights.

He also finally makes peace with his desire to start fights with anyone and everyone just because. At the end of the series, he admits that he considers Jin to be a friend and has no desire to fight him anymore. Chick Magnet: Suprisingly, chicks seem drawn to him. Moreso than Jin, in fact, who's supposed to be better looking. Combat Pragmatist: Mugen doesn't know the meaning of fair play. Cruel Mercy: Kohza betrays him so that she will not be alone, something she's terrified of. He kills everyone in the old crew who betrayed him and then just ignores her, even when she begs him to kill her. Needless to say, it says a lot when Mugen—a guy who has few qualms about killing—deems someone Not Worth Killing. Dance Battler: Break dancing to be specific, he even has steel plates on the soles of his sandals. His style is also often compared to capoeira, a Brazilian martial art that combines elements of dance, acrobatics and music, and could plausibly have been learned from a passing Brazilian sailor. When he dies the third and final time (in the last episode, no less), this turns into the latter trope by demanding that he be sent back to the living world at once. Once again, it's Mugen 3, Death 0, as our hero reigns victorious. Hidden Weapons: He has a dagger hidden in the end of his sword's scabbard. He only considers using it as a last resort, and only does so twice over the course of the whole series. Implacable Man: He's extraordinarily resilient and has recovered from injuries that were all but explicitly lethal. Improbable Age: Although no one's quite sure of his age, Mugen is generally thought to be no older than twenty, which is pretty young for a man of his abilities and experiences. Informed Flaw: His ugliness. In some episodes his face is legitimately loathsome, but in others he's just ruggedly handsome. He pretty consistently looks as though he's made completely out of elbows, though. Informed Loner: For a guy who will insist, with sharp objects if pressed, that he works for and with no one but himself, he encounters old foes and friends nearly as frequently as Jin. And he is still getting dragged around behind Jin and Fuu. I Work Alone: Mugen: I don't believe in anyone, but me, and what I can do. Mugen: I don't work for no one, but me. Mugen: Now I lived my whole life without takin' help from nobody, and I'd be damned if I let you guys help me into my grave. Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Moreso later on - and Mugen may threaten murder against anyone who implies it. Made of Iron: He's been been in close proximity to massive explosions, had his belly slashed open, was shot in the back with a musket ball, tortured, mauled by a psycho with a scythe, and even died on more than one occasion. And each time he recovered completely within a short space of time with no apparent lasting effects. Only Mostly Dead: Another possible (albeit more mundane) explanation for how he seems to keep coming back. Tattooed Crook: The blue rings tattooed around his wrists are a historical Japanese method for identifying convicts. Technician vs. Performer: The performer to Jin's technician. Token Evil Teammate: Though he's far from evil, he is an asshole with little regard for human life, a hair- trigger temper and enough Berserk Buttons to give The Hulk a run for his money. The Unfettered: He gives his all to every single thing he does. Unskilled, but Strong: Being a self trained swordsman, Mugen uses eratic movements in fights with opponents instead of actual technique. Majority of the time it works to his favor. When facing opponents like Ukon and Sara, Mugen found himself outclassed and forced to actually use his head. Rodriguez is her name. Mukuro. Wanted criminal, pirate captain, former cohort of Mugen. Arguably the worst human being to ever appear on the show. Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: Betrays Mugen twice, and betrays his entire crew along with him the second time. It's not as extreme as some examples, but one still wonders how Mukuro ever manages to get a crew together. Curb- Stomp Battle: On the receiving end of one from Jin after the latter finds out about his betrayal of Mugen. Et Tu, Brute?: When he realizes Kozha has betrayed him. Evil Counterpart: To Mugen. He demonstrates how Mugen would have turned out if he'd embraced his hatred of the world, instead of letting it distill into mere apathy. Evil Former Friend: At some point in the past his and Mugen's relationship was, if not friendly, at least less contentious than it is now. That died when Mukuro left Mugen to die the first time, and after his actions in ? Could he have gotten the Wild West style six shooter he's carrying? No. Incest Subtext: Although never outright stated, it's shown that Mukuro has been abusive and controlling of Kohza in the past, and the way he strokes her face does leave quite the implication. Lack of Empathy: Displays no empathy or sympathy towards his crew, his sister, or his former friend Mugen. Pirate: Makes his living as one, operating around the coast. Kohza. Mukuro's perpetually gloomy younger sister. She has a fondness for Mugen that dates back to their days of piracy, though the feeling is not quite mutual. Kohza isn't so much in love with Mugen as she is attached to him. This stems from her chronic dependency. The Eeyore: Perpetually gloomy and depressive. Fate Worse Than Death: Having grown tired of Kohza's manipulation, Mugen leaves her to survive alone despite her desperate pleas for him to kill her. Note that she has a pathological fear of being left alone. Hates Being Alone: She simply can't bear to be alone. At the end, Mugen doesn't kill her because he knows that for her having to live alone is worse than death. Manipulative Bitch: Knowing Mugen would be betrayed again, she acted sympathetic to get Jin to kill Mukuro, leaving her and her boyfriend free to take the money and run. Yatsuha. A skilled ninja working as a prostitute in covert to break up a criminal operation counterfeiting coins. She is the daughter of Imano Jinpachi, a member of the Shogunate guard staff. She is purchased by Mugen after winning a rock- paper- scissor game with Jin to see who will stay with her. While Mugen is preparing himself for Yatsuha, she overhears a conversation about the counterfeiting through a wall. After failing multiple attempts to subdue Mugen, who thinks her actions are foreplay, Yatsuha resorts to tricking Mugen into helping her stop the counterfeiting operation by promising him a night of sex. Action Girl: Not quite Mugen's equal in straight- up fight, and nowhere near Sara's level. But she and Mugen single- handedly took out an entire counterfeit coin operation. All Amazons Want Hercules: She states she intends to marry Mugen when they meet again. Considering Mugen's taste in women, that may very well happen. Pantu/Grim Reapers/Ancestor spirits. Denkibou. The youngest of the brothers. His and his brothers' lives were ruined by Mukuro and Mugen during a pirate raid on a sugar shipment. He is the least stable of the three and prone to violent fits of uncontrollable urges to kill. He carries a bisento short enough for him to wield and whines or shrieks wildly whenever he opens his mouth. Ax- Crazy: Literally twitches while trying to contain his bloodlust. That should say it all. Combat Pragmatist: Ambushes Mugen on a small boat loaded with large barrels, knowing very well that Mugen will be unable to use his usual style in such a small area. Double Weapon: His other main weapon.. It may be due to some degree of damage. Unlike Umanosuke, both Denkibou and Toube don't have to use any protection.
