Afro Samurai

Only he who carries The Number Two has the right to challenge The Number One, and to avenge his father, Afro has dedicated his life to becoming The Number Two and killing the man who wears The Number One.

Afro Samurai is a third-person action game based on the anime created by Takashi Okazaki and Gonzo and starring Samuel L.

Each stage chronicles an important event in Afro's quest for revenge, culminating in a boss fight at the end.

The defining feature of the combat is Afro's ability to enter "focus mode," where the screen goes black-and-white and the action slows down, allowing for a "perfect slice" attack which can slice enemies literally to pieces.

It must be charged after use, with the charge represented by a pendant hanging from Afro's sword.

As Afro kills enemies, he levels up earning new skills and increasing his power and stamina.

Collecting "mementos" strewn around each stage will also unlock special abilities called "father's legacy", which are often extra-devastating moves that can easily take down even stronger enemies.

Afro Samurai for PlayStation 3 is currently worth €42.11 loose, €39.05 complete in box, and €58.62 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Afro Samurai has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Afro Samurai, loose is €42.11 and CIB is €39.05 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of Afro Samurai is currently worth €42.11 loose, versus €48.55 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
