Nothing personal. It's just revenge.
Afro Samurai

Afro Samurai (real name unknown) is the main protagonist of the Afro Samurai series. He appeared in the 96th episode of Death Battle, Samurai Jack VS Afro Samurai, where he fought against Samurai Jack from the Samurai Jack series.

History

Afro was the son of Rokutaro, an infamous swordsman who bore the symbolic Number One Headband, which was said to give its owner god-like powers and immortality to anything but the owner of the Number Two Headband. When Afro was young, he witnessed his father be challenged and beheaded by the killer known as Justice, who then took the Number One Headband from his former friend. Now in desperate search for revenge, Afro needed two things: the Number Two Headband, and the necessary sword skills to do so. Afro was then taken in and trained by a man named Sword Master, who turned out to be the owner of the Number Two Headband. After killing his master, Afro would wander the world as a ronin, keeping his sword sharp and his wits sharper on his quest for vengeance, all while facing the many foes who posed a challenge for his headband.
