I changed the picture of Kirara, Komachi, and Rikichi for one with the Seven Samurai Maigokunshu 04:53, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
Does anyone know where to find the other renamed DVD titles? (i.e. "The Master", "The Pupil", etc.) I can only find the first 8 for listing on article.
I dont think they are out yet... i may be wrong but jus sayin
It's something I've been curious about, but are the episodes of Samurai 7 shorter than the average Anime episode? If they are I don't know if it bears article significance, but I wonder if anyone found the same thing. Prodigis ( talk) 15:09, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
I took out some info in the Kirara part, because it sounded a bit misleading and is a spoiler of sorts.
SPOILER FOLLOWS: Kirara is in love with Kambei, not Katsushiro. She feels pity for Katsushiro and has this "I want to save everyone" mentality, which first gives the viewer the impression she loves him. She just really likes him as a close friend and feels personal guilt for leading him down a difficult path. Now she MIGHT have had some romantic feelings towards Katsushiro in the beginning, but by the time she slaps Katsushiro and he steals that kiss, its really Kambei who she wants to bump boots (err... wooden shoes) with. In any case, Kambei doesn't return those feelings, and as such its an unrequited love. Sad really. Everyone loses in this reguard. Katsushiro can never have Kirara; Kirara can never have Kambei; and if Kambei really has feelings for Kirara, he will not let them surface due to personal reasons and I suppose his respect/friendship with Katsushiro.
None of this is based in fact, it's just your own opinions. The show hints more at her having feelings for Katsushiro then Kanbei. The main evidence is her promise to Katsushiro that she will "sink with him, and wash the blood of his hands". What you are saying is opinion and not factual. In fact using the same evidence as you I could suggest that there is romantic tension between Kanbei and Kyuzo. After all Kanbei telling Kyuzo "I am in love" did make it onto an episode recap. History documented relationships between older and younger samurai. There was a look on their faces has they rubbed their neck wounds that suggested this also, and Kanbei did say "I want him". Of course these statements will be attacked, but they've not been entered into the article, and neither should information about Kirara having feelings for Kanbei.
The result of the debate was move (no objections and simple move over redirect). -- tariqabjotu (joturner) 00:08, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
Akira Kurosawa's Samurai 7 → Samurai 7 … Rationale: The better and much more well-known titling of this anime series is Samurai 7, which is the title used for the series everywhere, including news and reference sources, and is the most used and well-known, including the one being used in the Animax, IFCTV and Animania English-language broadcasts of the series, whereas Akira Kurosawa's Samurai 7 is only the full formal name given by FUNimation's N.A. DVD licensing. The use of the title Samurai 7 for this series is so widespread that even FUNimation's official North American website lists the series as Samurai 7. As per Wikipedia:Naming conventions, Wikipedia gives more emphasis to the titling which more readers are familiar towards, in this case Samurai 7, instead of what is considered to be "official" titles. If we were to even do a Google search comparision, we would find that there are 17,600,000 references alone to Samurai 7, whereas there are only 465,000 for Akira Kurosawa's Samurai 7. I therefore humbly propose that the article be retitled/moved to Samurai 7, per Wikipedia naming guidelines, as it is the much better and widely-known titling.
Image:Samurai7.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 22:29, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
If you ask me Kirara was quite confused with her feelings for Kanbei and Katsushiro especially at the end. Even in between the series Kanbei just treated her as a kid so only one she was able to relate to was Katsushiro. She must of obviously went a little far with Katsushiro when she was nursing him for him to go as far as kissing her when he was naive, innocent and too kind to begin with. That it self indirectly hints she also had feelings for Katsushiro. She was leaning toward Kanbei just because he was kind and a strong samurai. In the end whe Kasushiro became just as strong she wanted to see him off especially but he laft before she was going to say anything. If you ask me some time in the future their love might spring open. Knowing how Kanbei is I am guessing Katsushiro might return to Kirara after he completes his journey because from the begining Kirara wanted a very strong samurai and Katsushiro know that and probably want to accomplish it. —Preceding
