Is life a cycle

At the beginning:
Feng, is a person, working in a small shop;
Wuxuan, is a person, wandering in chaos;
Ren, is a person, traveling to find a target.
Even at the time of the initial encounter, it was a fragmented scene. They are three people.


Just like us before the university, we are separated by thousands of miles. Who knew that there would be people who are very important to us there?


After that, it was fate or coincidence that they were together. Go looking for a stranger who doesn't know his face or name. Just because he has the smell of sunflowers and a pendant of a skull. From then on, go hand in hand and start wandering.
They are all people with stories, but they have never communicated with each other, and they are always dependent on each other. In fact, what everyone needs is the time together in the future, not the past. Love these three free and easy people. Don't ask about the past, just ask for the future.


As we are now, we have always been together, known as the Iron Triangle. Learn, do things, play, live, and grow together. We were in college, and each other was the only emotion that made me nostalgic.


Along the way, I met a lot of people, and a lot of things happened, but I couldn't change my determination to find my goal. Despite the split, despite the quarrel, the three still depend on each other. They are three people, they no longer live alone.

There is joy and sorrow in it.

With dark humor, Shinichiro Watanabe uses the way he is best at narrating an unforgettable past.
The eating conference, the exaggerated rap, the bickering without illusion and the wind, and the sneering of Ren.
I also hope to forget the sadness like this. Because everyone is together.

But there are also...
the man with sad eyes with fireflies flying on his fingertips; the man who went far and far to cure his mother's illness; the father who chose suicide; the woman who moved Ren's heart ; There are also avengers with a benevolent or illusory past...

The time we spend together is getting longer and longer, the goal is getting closer and clearer, but I hope it is getting further and further away. They kept asking each other what they would do if they found the person who smelled like sunflowers. Parting is so sad, even if we have experienced countless partings, even if we are sad to numbness, it cannot change its original gray tone.

Farewell, although silent, but can not escape. The closer the target is, the more dangerous it becomes, and the more powerful the opponent becomes.
The wind chose to leave quietly, in order to escape the sadness of parting. Wuhuan and Ren also encountered powerful enemies and fell one by one.
Under Wuxiang's sacrifice, Feng stumbled to a wooden house... The
target was still illusory, and no one knew what was behind the door.

Wind is a person, no illusion, is a person, benevolence is a person. A reincarnation story has been told. It only took one day. Not sure how Watanabe Shinichiro finished the story in one day, but it did end.

It took us three years to complete a complete reincarnation. We are about to be separated from each other, we are about to be three people, three lonely people.
Our story has also been told, but, my own story is still very long...

Samurai Champloo quotes

  • Mugen: When you point a sword at someone either you kill them or they kill you, there ain't no inbetween. So quit talkin' like a fuckin' pussy. Anyone who can't handle that should just SHUT THE FUCK UP and GET OVER IT!

  • Sara: What I can't see I can sense.

    Mugen: [stumbling, bleeding] What?

    Sara: Inside of you looms a simmering storm of hatred and rage, but perhaps what I'm actually sensing is sadness. It's as if you've never once been loved by anyone; it's as if you're just like me.
