What Season 1 of Afro Samurai

In a post-apocalyptic world, strength decides who survives. Two ribbons mark the rank of the greatest warriors, and the one numbered 1 belongs to the most powerful. Afro's father held it until Justice, a gunslinger ranked 2, defeated him. Now Afro wears that second ribbon and travels a hostile land with Ninja Ninja with one goal: revenge and taking the place that rightfully belongs to him. Along the way he finds clues about Justice and faces brutal fights, while the Empty Clan Seven prepares a robot based on Afro's memories that Okiku had recorded. Samuel L. Jackson leads the cast, and the series airs on Spike.
