Now an adult, Afro Samurai is the current Number Two and a master swordsman he travels the road seeking revenge on Justice, the current Number One. The gunman severed his father's head right in front of the young Afro. At the time the gunman challenged his father, Afro had only been a child. Afro Samurai's father was the old Number One, until he was challenged by a gunman, "Justice" (who was then Number Two), who fought him in a duel to become the new Number One. However, the only rule in this world is that only the "Number Two" (also designated by a sacred headband) is allowed to fight the "Number One." The downside of this is that anyone (and typically everyone) can challenge and try to kill the Number Two, to gain the right to move forward and challenge Number One. Someone becomes Number One by killing the previous Number One and taking his ceremonial headband. In the world of Afro Samurai, it is said that the one who becomes "Number One", will rule the world, wielding powers akin to a god. The story follows Afro as he tries to avenge his father's murder. Set in a "futuristic, yet feudal Japan," and stars a samurai named Afro for his hair.
