Slicing a bullet in half.
- Blocking/Dodging multiple arrows fired from a cross bow.
-Bullet dodging.
-Blocking a laser beam.
-Cutting a missile fired from an RPG in half.
Durability/Endurance: Afro's endurance is amazing. This guy can take a hit and he always has stamina to spare. It's even suggested that he has a healing factor.
Afro battled the Afro Droid then proceeded to kill the entire Empty Seven Clan. Then he had to fight the droid again only this time it pulled out all the stops. (Cannons, lasers, guns.) He sustained internal damage signaled by him coughing up blood. After permanently defeating the Afro Droid he fought his child hood friend Jinno / Kuma who had was now an android with cybernetic up grades. After getting kicked and slashed around by him and sustaining heavy blood loss, Afro went on to fight number one. During his fight with number one Afro was shot repeatedly and speared in the head. He broke the spear out and finished off Justice by slashing him to ribbons.
Afro was launched above the clouds by the Afro and even landing on top of it from that height would or should have killed a normal human being.
Intellect: Afro's no genius but he's no idiot either. Academically he knows atleast the basics like multiplication. Street smarts however is not something he lacks.
Fighting Skill: Afro is highly skilled having trained since he was a small boy at Dojo until he was a Teenager. Even as a boy Afro could take on 4 thugs with little assistance. As he grew having trouble with four guys became easily beating 20 of them. He surpassed his father, the previous number one and succeeded in defeated Justice and becoming the new Number 1.
Afro has shown that he doesn't need to be grounded to defend himself. Falling out of the sky from over a mile up he successfully defended himself against a flying opponent that was not only sending sword slashes his way, but also shooting.
Techniques/Powers: Afro's Technique is unnamed though most likely Kendo or Kenjutsu. He has demonstrated the ability to make his moves unreadable by not thinking and acting only on subconscious moves. In this way he defeated the Afro droid that knew all his moves. Striking from his subconscious it becomes impossible to read Afro's attacks.
It has been hinted that Afro has a healing factor. After sustaining heavy damage he seems to be perfectly fine moments later and no longer bleeds or anything.
Gear:
Afro's notable Gear consists of his fathers sword and the Number 1 head band. I won't use this in a vs match yet but the Number 1 head band is supposed to grant the wearer God like status.
History: Afro Samurai's father was the old Number One, until he was challenged by a gunman, "Justice" (then Number Two), who fought him in a duel to become the new Number One. The gunman killed Afro's father right in front of him when he was just a boy, thus becoming the new Number One. Not long after he obtained the Number Two headband as a small boy Afro was beaten and robbed for the head band and left to die. He was found by young Otsuru and Jinno along with their master and raised at a Dojo. Since he was little Afro trained at the Dojo to become a strong warrior for the purpose of reveng on the man that killed his father. Afro and Jinno became like brothers and often did pretty much everything together along with Otsuru who also cared for Afro. Even as a small boy Afro fought his way to being closer to finding the Number Two Head band. As a Teenager, his skills where sharper than ever. Afro succeeded in finding the identity of the Number Two. It was none other than his own Master. After being named a mighty warrior along with his friends Afro challanged his Master for the Head band. Before their battle could take place Afro, His master and his friends where attacked by a group of men who wanted the Number Two headband. All of Afro's friends save for Otsuro and Jinno where killed. He proceeded to kill his Master and take the #2 for himself. That's when he met up with the Ninja Ninja an imaginary friend for Afro to walk the bloody and murderous path of the #2. Betraying Jinno and all of his friends all Afro had was to defeat #1 Now an adult, Afro Samurai is the current Number Two and a master swordsman; he travels the road looking for revenge on the current Number One who killed his father. Currently Afro has defeated Justice and claimed the Number 1 head band for himself.
