After securing the Number One headband, which declares him the greatest warrior of all, Afro enjoys mostly peaceful days, although his nights remain unrestful due to nightmares. His existence descends into chaos once more when Jinno and Sio, his old friends from the past, steal the headband along with his father's remains. Sio challenges Afro to wear the Number Two headband again and seek vengeance for these acts, prompting Afro to begin another journey as the wearer of that headband—an object that would drive anyone to kill him. Afro Samurai: Resurrection tracks Afro as he engages in a second round of battles against various enemies, cutting through the sea of corpses he leaves behind to satisfy his insatiable hunger for revenge.
