Afro Samurai facts
While investigating facts about Afro Samurai, I found out little known, but curios details like:
There was a black african samurai called Yasuke that served warlord Oda Nobunaga. He was the first foreign samurai and the inspiration for the main character in Afro Samurai.
Marvin from Pulp Fiction (Vincent kills him in the famous car accident scene) is the voice actor of Samurai Jack and appeared in many other animated television series or video games (Futurama, Family Guy, Afro Samurai, Diablo 3, Dota 2 and many others).
In my opinion, it is useful to put together a list of the most interesting details from trusted sources that I've come across. Here are 4 of the best facts about Afro Samurai I managed to collect.
-
The game "Afro Samurai: Revenge of Kuma Volume One" was so bad that publisher Versus Evil voluntarily refunded everyone who had bought it.
-
The production of the Afro Samurai anime resulted from coincidences; the creator's friend released an action figure in very small amounts which a producer from the Japanese studio, Gonzo, stumbled across. The studio created a trailer, which happened to fall into the hands of Samuel L. Jackson.
