Sano hooked me into the show. He reminded me of a character I made up for a sci-fi story.

It was wierd!

Hey everyone,

I'm a long time fan of this particular anime. In fact, with the exception of the pokemon craze (98-99) this is the only anime I've really stayed interested in over time. I live in the city of Lima, Peru of South America. Fortunately Cartoon Network does broadcast here and I have the right kind of TV to see it in English. I got into it in 2003 when my younger brother told me about it and I began watching with him. During that year we went to the same school and my mom was also a teacher at that school. School got out at 3pm but my mom almost always had to stay later. Samurai X, as it's called here, came on weekdays at 3:30pm and I remember running home with my brothers every afternoon to get home on time to watch this anime. At the end of the year it went off the air and I saw every episode from when Kenshi, as he's called here, first met Kori, as she's called here, until the season where the gang meets up with these fung shauy tribes duking it out with magic rulers.

It mysteriously returned to Cartoon Network last year in September. I was overjoyed to find it showing five times a week only this time five episodes came on all in back to back package on Saturday nights from 10:30 to 1:00. I caught from the end of the Shishio season and watched through the Christian, Black Nights, and finally the Fung Shuay season again. Unfortunately due to health and family issues I didn't see past the episode where one ninja from either the water or wind tribe throws a deadly dart of some sort at Kori and she's mortally wounded. Kenshi in his retaliation uses his hidden mitsurugi technique and hacks through one of those magic barriers with those whacked out rulers. Are these episodes those "fillers" that so many fellow members have mentioned in past replies?

Pretty much everything after Shishio is what is referred to as "filler".

Which is seriously twisted since the manga continues on beyond the Shishio arc.

And what's this about magic rulers?

There were these feng shui masters and they were channeling energy and stuff through these things that looked like rulers. Maybe they actually were rulers, I don't know. As for the filler, people call the third season that because its basically a bunch of short story arcs without much overall plot or character development, but its not just a bunch of completely disassociated, random episodes. I think that the third season would have been better if it has some sort of overarching storyline, but I still enjoyed it even so. Though it seems like a lot of people felt cheated and dissapointed.

Alright, that makes things seem a bit more clear.

Come to think of it, the "filler" episodes despite having fresh new storylines were considerably shorter than the Shishio season. Back in 2003 they seemed just as long and interesting to me but after seeing them again towards the end of last year I noticed that most of them didn't last more than 10 episodes.

So what does happen at the end of those Fung Shuay episodes and how does the tv series really end?

Feng shui masters channelling energy through rulers??

Isn't feng shui the art of harmoniously aranging furniture and decorations in a room to promote health and wellbeing?
