Sanjuro's arm

The only Kurosawa movie I've seen is The Seven Samurai, and there was nothing like Sanjuro's armor in that. But maybe I should go rent Yojimbo?

I remember seeing Yojimbo in FFX and he had that dog or something. I can't remember.. maybe its something like that.

that was an aeon any way i think that Yojimbo is just the name of a movie
(the dog is called diagoro...i think or it is just the attack with the dog or something like that)

Just so we're clear, the japanese word "yojimbo" translates into english as "bodyguard".

You're right about that, but there's really no connection to the movie or to Sanjuro. It's a fairly common word in japanese stories.

true very true but the only connection is the wor Yojimbo

ok i dont think he eddited his character. he has never once made coment about hacking in any way. and it doesnt seem to fit in to his personality. he is an active character in Dusk, when they are deleting hacked characters left and right and and none of the new knights grabed him for hacking his sprite. and he was out in the open.

Well..I just noticed this just now,but this one guy...he kinda looks like he is a samurai too,but I could be wrong on this.Its just his attire seems..somewhat like Sanjuro's.

Well, if you recall from the emails, Sanjuro is a huge samurai movie buff, so that definitely explains the character appearance. He really should've done something about the hair, though... -_-

Well, besides the deal with the hair, I think Sanjuro's one of the coolest characters. But, seriously, he looks like a mushroom or something...

Acctually I know what it is, they are sheets of metal strung together to form a type a scale mail (D&D players should know what that is). they were mostly used by the best japanese worriors to protect there main arm from damage because the were capable of protecting the rest of there body with a katana of other weapon. seeing as how he is tring to play the roll of a japanese worrior it is not surprising that he has one

Thats right...in fact there are several Samuri PCs throughout the games. I believe that its just an option that is allowed when a player first creates his avatar for the world. And no, Sanjuro's character isn't illegally edited.

I thought of scale mail, too, when I first saw it, since I recognized it from D&D. I never heard of samurai using it, though. Where did you find that out from? Unless it's in the Oriental Adventures handbook, which I don't have.

... Sanjuro is just a *little* tad over-obsessed with Ninja's and Samurai's because of their l337ness as I am with Balmung. ;D
