Afro Samurai: Resurrection
Afro has found peace and no longer fights, but one stormy night Kuma and Sio find Afro and take the Number One headband from him. Sio then tells Afro her plans to resurrect his dead father so she can torture him. Upon hearing this Afro decides to find and reclaim the Number Two headband once more, as only the Number Two can defeat the Number One. Sio wants revenge on Afro for the people he has killed on his journey to become the Number One. She blames Afro for what has happened to Jinno (Kuma) who, during Sio's flashback, is revealed to be Sio's older brother. After getting his sword sharpened and cleaned, Afro first stops at a gambling house run by Brother 3 of the Empty Seven Clan which only Brother 1 (now paralyzed and bound to a stretcher, mostly gibbering nonsense) and he are the only survivors after the events of the first series (along with the mysterious Brother 7 who has yet to appear). He challenges Afro to a game of dice. If Afro wins he will get the information on the Number Two headband. If Afro loses, Brother 3 takes his head. 3 however tries to cheat using loaded dice but Afro quickly uncovers the ruse. Beaten at his own game, Brother 3 gives up the information that a man named Shichigoro has it and where to find him.
