popular Anime starring Samuel L. Jackson (voice) as the title character.
In a futuristic yet feudal Japan, it is said that the one who wields the Number 1 headband is the fiercest fighter in the
world and shall possess godlike powers. The only way to obtain the Number 1 headband is to challenge and defeat him in combat. However, only the Number 2 can challenge the Number 1, while anyone can challenge the Number 2, which causes a constant struggle for the Number 2 headband.
