Romance in Samurai Champloo: The Mirror Reflection of Jin and Shino and Mugen and Fuu

Upon re-watching Episode 11, I was utterly shocked by how many parallels exist between Mugen and Jin as characters, in regards to their relationship with the most important women of their journey. The interactions and concepts are near identical. These specific themes and interactions were only exhibited with two specific women, and no other characters in the series.

In episode 11, Jin falls in love with Shino: a courtesan who was forced into prostitution due to her lousy, abusive husband’s gambling debt. Jin later saves Shino from this brothel, and helps her escape to a divorce temple.

Canonically, it was stated in the Samurai Champloo Roman Album by Shino’s character designer that Jin does indeed “fall for” her, so it was not simply chivalry that led him to help her. This echoes his actual dialogue in episode 11:

Fuu: I understand why you pity her but-

Jin: It’s not pity.

It is not pity, because it is love.

So, here is the INSANE number of ways Jin’s confirmed romantic dynamic with Shino is an uncanny mirror to Mugen’s subtle romantic dynamic with Fuu.

Warning: There is a LOT of comparisons. I was honestly so surprised and have a whole new level of respect for this anime now, and specifically Episode 11.

Enjoy the read!

Very hot of her

just like enamored by this interaction i had yesterday and again today with this old gay man…not to be like ‘oh what a feeling to see someone who has survived’ but literally that & today we actually ended up chatting and he asked me “are you family?” which i didn’t catch at all until he gave me an extremely knowing look (chin tilt, raised eyebrow. and he really just had such a shine about him, too) and i just got flooded with this big stupid feeling thinking about how much he has seen and known…about many things but esp lgbt community as it exists offline and historically & how if i were to ask, and were somehow able to know, there are 1000 different lifetimes in his, i’m sure. his name is leonardo

oh how sad that “family” meaning queer is dying out. that’s always been such a lovely code word.

Squidward clocking out of the Krusty Krab and heading to the nearest gay after hours event

Come on, now, op. We all know squidward doesn’t go to the club.

He’s one of those “I’m not like other gays” gays who goes home to a bottle of wine and his obscure 50s vaudeville records, and then mopes because he can never find a boyfriend.

Is there anything sadder than the little chunk of Kikis Delivery Service when Kiki says "I used to really like flying before it was my job" and then gets so burned out that her magic stops working and she cant talk to Jiji anymore and she tries so hard to FORCE the magic that she breaks her mothers broom and stays up all night, alone, trying to make a new one and crying?

And I know it is all ok in the end- Kiki has friends who look out for her and she takes care of herself and finds her place.

But fuck, those 20 minutes just hurt my heart so much.

cars are so strange in a historical context. like we discovered crude oil but didn't know what to do with it, then we invent the combustion engine and realise its an insanely energy dense fuel source and that it can move 1 ton of metal faster than almost any living thing has ever moved in the history of the entire planet, and now there are so many of these things around that there's like. almost 1 for every single person on the planet, and also there are far more people on the planet right now at a single time than there ever has been at any other point in history. also they spew a miasma into the atmosphere that destroys the air we breathe and we spend so much time in them that they are built with dedicated cupholders. its actually cataclysmically fucking insane to think about.

like we are living in the cosmic horror reality in comparison to the rest of human history but because we're born into it most of us don't realise the absolutely monstrous scale of the absurdity of it all. my means of transportation is itself a fever dream of engineers and sweatshop workers and children in mines and i just crawl into it every day to get from a to b. what the everliving fuck.

wiremxther-deactivated20230819

like show this shit to a medieval peasant. that the materials black smiths work with for dozens of hours to produce a few hundred nails and a hammer and some horse shoes has been mined in quantities that we can make large chariot sized cages with wheels and they burn oil to move at speeds that would turn your entire body into a paste if you hit anything more solid and firmly rooted into the ground than a street sign. and we just get into them every day and you might go through weeks of your life seeing more of these things than the actual living humans that drive the fucking things. hello???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
