The Sleeping Samurai

Once Afro Samurai defeated Kotaro he realized that the cycle of the number 1 and the number 2 could never be released by the likes of him because of his deep rooted emotions for his father and his hatred for Justice. The best thing he believed he could do was to go into Heaven to release the other 5 head bands of power to hopefully prevent anyone from obtaining the number 2 again.

Sadly this backfired…

More bloodshed occurred in the attempt of gaining all 7 headbands. Especially since their power was returned to them giving the bearer of each of the headbands great power. Afro had seen his mistake and attempted to go into isolation. However he was then challenged consistently for the headband by multiple warriors. He fought on, until the taste of the atmosphere around him was metallic with the clouds of blood he caused.

Weeks passed and more bloodshed occurred continuously. Samurai still remained but with the new weapons evolving, bloodshed only came with much more burden. Afro Samurai traveled all over Nitton during this time to escape the hurricane of killing that traveled closely behind him.

He ended up in the desert during a horrible sandstorm, being challenged to fight by a masked samurai, bearing a Kanji mask and the number 2 headband. Afro accepted reluctantly as they dueled to what was seemingly the death. However in astonishment Afro Samurai was defeated and was left broken and battered in the sand dunes. While the samurai above him watched him closely and chuckled.

"The Power of the Afro Samurai... or anyone who bears the title of the number one for so long... can only be justified by the path they choose." He stated this as he began hacking at Afro's ligaments. Afro did not make a sound. "I am going to let you stay here in agony, but I will not kill you... I will show you what it truly means to walk the Demon Path." He turned a cold shoulder to the bloody pool of the semi conscious afro. Scarlet dripped down from the man's sword.

"You thought that this was pain...... You thought... this... was suffering.... No you have only taken your first true steps into the world I'm going to create... I will show you the true meaning of the Demon Path... I will show you the true meaning..... of Pain. "

Then he disappeared into the storm. Afro closed his eyes and envisioned his father speaking to him.

"Hello Son.."

"Father...."

"Walking the Demon Path.... I thought you understood this by now... It cannot be escaped. Once you put on the headband...."

"But Father...it was for you..."

"It was your choice to take such a burden... The responsibility is no longer yours Afro... you are free..."

As Afro lied down in the sand an old friend found him, and took him back to his shop. "I heard what you did to Kotaro... did you have to force him to walk the Demon Path?" Afro remained silent. “Doesn't matter now... you shouldn't speak anyway your wounds aren't fully healed and you need your strength."

A few months passed and Afro gained his strength back as he bowed to the old shop keeper. "Thank you."

"Hey listen Samurai.... Whoever did that to ya, you shouldn't fight them again. It's only luck that your okay now... I mean these last few months – " Afro samurai cut the male off as he passed his katana over to the old shop keeper Oden.

"I wasn't planning on it.... My burden... its all free now..." Then Afro Samurai walked off in order to find his own.

Many years later…

A group of warriors who have been nicknamed the "Sleeping Samurai" for their suspicious appearance in the world have acquired not only several of the headbands but has been killing off the bearers of the number 1 and the number 2 over the years.

Afro Samurai has settled down with a beautiful wife and two children on the outskirts of Nitton. Attempting to see how a different life was without the influence of the Demon Path. He went to go obtain water on a casual day for his family and when he returned they were gone. The only thing that remained was a fake number 2 headband. He went to where he believed his family was, the second hand of Mount Sumai.

And there they were. Hung by the throat with headbands that stated "Number Zero" Afro felt the harsh reality of the world around him. That he truly could never escape, the Demon Path. He quickly cut them down so they were able to be buried and rest in peace. The Demon Path is an isolated road and he revealed such by never shedding one tear. He obtained his blade from the shop at which he left it and gave a quick prayer.

It begins again
