Additionally supporting his real-world presence is the scene in the video game in which he knocks the hand of one of the Empty Seven off of a ledge, killing him, as is the scene after Sword Master's death in which one of the many clones of Ninja Ninja grabs Sword Master's mouth and moves it up in down, pretending he is a puppet.
He wears black keikogi, hakama and toe strapping metal geta sandals and wields twin katanas.
Voiced by: Terrence C. Carson The Sword Master is a one-eyed samurai adopting to train orphans as graduated warriors.
At the cliff near the Bodhi Tree, the Sword Master wearing the Number Two headband, insists Afro to kill him.
After the rest of all assassins and students were killed, Afro executes the Sword Master dead and takes the headband.
The official site reveals that the Sword Master was Rokutaro's friend which helps explain the basis for his advice and world view.
On the night for the Japanese rap parade festival, Shichigoro battles Afro before killing Sio's ninjas for stopping the party.
Voiced by: Kevin Michael Richardson Takimoto is a mysterious person who greets Justice in Afro Samurai: Resurrection.
Although he explains himself as having the goal of observing the order of the world, seeing Afro about to reach the throne room made him ready to interfere.
Depending on the possible third film, it is unknown if his motives and goals will be carried to the anime since many of the characters have similar but slightly altered parts in the manga.
They employ robots and mercenaries to do their dirty work, since the monks themselves have greatly inferior fighting skills when compared to Afro and Justice possibly due to their age difference.
Years later, Otsuru saves Afro, who survives Soshun's poisonous crossbow infection and Brother 6's RPG explosion on the cliff.
Dharman is aroused by Sio's seductive beauty and sadistic nature as she toys with him although he scolds her for interrupting Rokutaro's resurrection process.
Otsuru created it from combat data siphoned from Afro's mind, and reproduces all of his learned techniques and abilities.
At the end of the miniseries, he stays at the throne room to live at Mount Shumi where Afro cut his pair of arms along with the third one behind holding a sword for execution.
After Justice regenerates himself and declare that all ranked headbands on corpses would remain there, Afro slices his body to smaller pieces.
However, their differing views on the headbands and how to end the violence plaguing the world eventually drove them apart, leading to the final confrontation between them.
But after the town where he lived was destroyed (Sio blames Afro for this event), he was almost killed and was reconstructed by the mad professor Dharman as a cybernetic fighter (similar to Jinno's situation).
Now no longer laughing, but a hateful shell of the man he once was, he wears the same humorous Hyottoko mask that he had in the past to conceal his robotic appearance.
He and the other henchmen despise Afro because they consider him responsible for their loss of humanity and desire to kill him in order to prevent Sio from becoming a murderer.
Similar to Bin, Michael was part of Sio's foster family and used to entertain people by dressing in a dragon costume.
Tomoe grabs Afro and begs Michael to shoot them with his machine gun, he at first refuses to do it, fearing that he might kill her, but at Bin's request he decides to fire at them.
NOTE: Michael does not have a voice actor as he can not speak, being able to communicate only through his glasses that serve as a digital display for words and images.
Voiced by: Grey DeLisle Part of her foster family, Tomoe was a woman who was seen holding a shamisen (guitar-like Japanese instrument) and was very kind to Sio (teaching her to dance among other things).
Her jet-propelled cybernetic feet allow her to fly, and her enhanced muscular tissue adds more power to her strikes, thus making her a worthy opponent.
