This week on Samurai 7...
The group travels to Metal City, the home of the mysterious Guardians.

Last time on Samurai 7...

Spoiler:

With Ukyo hot on their trail, Kambei and the others visited his old friend and battle companion, Shichiroji, at an inn in the city of Kougakyo, a lawless sanctuary outside the Magistrate's power. When Ukyo and the hunters tracked Kikuchiyo (who survived the train crash) there, Shichiroji told them of a secret passage they can use to escape. He left his girlfriend to once again fight at Kambei's side.

Samurai 7. Part of the Lucky 7's. Only Toonami.

Last time: Despite the worst animation in Gonzo's history, our heroes escape the inn with a new member in tow.

Previously on Samurai 7: The animation budget runs out, but at least they have a new samurai to show for it.

[Hypeathon]

Ooh! New intro! Also that might've been the only episode with that trippy aesthetic and animation.

[Bernkastel]

Well, I guess,the animation is better at least.

[animePWNS]

Animation's back to normal.

Spider people!

[Kitschensyngk]

Well, THAT was rude. Hey Ukyo, ever hear of TACT?

IS that rice? Looks like the place below the toxic jungle from Nausicaa.

[JShaggy]

Well, I guess,the animation is better at least.

A lot better than the quality that was Naruto-like in nature last week.

Way to take an arrow for the team.

What the heck are they harvesting from them trees?

[Bernkastel]

A bad time for this guy's rice fetish to show up.

[Nobodyman]

Rice, rice, rice. Is that all these people think about?

Uh-oh. Giant CGI gun detected!

[Gold Starz]

I see that robots have enslaved humanity.

[animePWNS]

Carrie Savage is working there. (Honoka)

Nice trick, Gorobei. Gross, but nice.

[Kitschensyngk]

Is that a LIZARD behind your ear?

[Nobodyman]

Oh please, we've all seen that trick. He just feeds the lizard down behind his head. People must've been easier to fool back then........or in the future. Come to think of it, I'm not sure when this is set.

[JShaggy]

Nice trick, Gorobei. Gross, but nice.

At least he didn't get himself drugged on toad in the process.

Oh wait. That was a lizard. My bad

[Kitschensyngk]

So it's a Nobuseri refugee camp.

I've seen this show a few times, and I still wonder how they can just hang up there all day with the blood rushing to their heads.

[Nobodyman]

Uh-oh. Katsushiro's got injured leg fever. The worst kind.

[Hypeathon]

IS that rice? Looks like the place below the toxic jungle from Nausicaa.

Why is it that every time there's either a lush valley or otherworldy setting with trees in any anime, people think of a Ghibli film? I can't help but find that fascinating. Even I'm a little guilty of that.

[animePWNS]

Oh that sucks.

Wait, that was a medical dart? Never mind.

Congrats, Katsu. Two to go...

[Nobodyman]

IS that rice? Looks like the place below the toxic jungle from Nausicaa.

Actually, it was those masked guys that reminded me of Nausicaa.

I am a Samurai! I am, I am! *sucks thumb* WAAAAAAAAA!!!!

Whoa! Um, did something happen?
