I’ve just seen the last two episodes of Samurai 7 and I even tried to hold back my tears when I saw how Kyuzo died.
Kyuzo is a great swordsman and he’s also a master of the twin-sword technique. The thing that makes me really sad is that his death was only an accident. It happened when the young samurai (I forgot his name) gunned down one of their enemies who was trying to kill Master Kambei, unbeknownst to the young samurai that Kyuzo was standing behind the enemy and the bullets also penetrated Kyuzo’s body.
Kyuzo does not deserve that kind of death since he is really the most skillful samurai I’ve ever seen. It would be easier for me to accept if he died on a swordfight against Master Kambei or some other samurai who is more skillful than him.
Kyuzo and Master Kambei are allies and at the same time, rivals. They still have an unfinished duel which they plan to continue after their mission is completed but since Kyuzo died, he will be waiting for Master Kambei in the afterlife to know who among the two of them will be the last one standing.
Master Kambei called Kyuzo his dear friend when Kyuzo was dying. The scene when Kyuzo was saying his last words was really dramatic.
‘Til we meet again, Kyuzo…
