What I do know is that there is a Samurai and he has a big afro and that is nearly enough to get me completely interested already. This video looks at a rather strange section of the game called Body Part Poker, which has the Samurai dismembering his opponents in order to complete an objective.

Afro Samurai FAQ
Q // What am I supposed to do when ninja poker begins?
A // The goal here is to defeat the enemies with focused attacks in a way that allows you to sever a hand, a leg and a head within the time limit. There are other combinations you can perform, but the hand/leg/head one is the one that will yield the largest reward. You can have some impact on what piece you sever by entering focus mode and pressing the button that corresponds to the attack you wish to use, then moving the left stick before releasing your attack button. This will cause white lines to appear over the body of your enemy. You can adjust where your strike will land depending on your opponent's position, making it easier to obtain the parts you need.

Q // Should I worry about how I take care of the enemies, or can I just button mash?
A // Defeating the enemies with focus attacks will allow you to level up more quickly. Or at least, it seems that way. Though the technique may seem difficult to master at first, you'll actually need to use it a lot to easily survive battles in the final stages of the game. Get used to doing it early and you'll quickly gain levels, which does make you a more powerful fighter (even if there are no obvious on-screen meters to prove it).
Q // How do I get rid of the snipers?
A // There are several points throughout the game where snipers will attack you. The game will let you know when they're on the scene, but they are often out of reach. They also have a tendency to pepper you with shots from a distance while you try to fight anyone else in the area. The trick here is to watch for the cutaway scene indicating that they're about to fire a bullet. As they do, quickly enter focus mode and then press and hold the button to perform a focused horizontal slash. Continue to hold the button until the controller rumbles?or until you see a white fleck enter your range of vision while in focus mode, if you don't have a rumbling controller?and then release it. You will perform a perfect slash that sends the bullet back toward the person who sent it. If this all seems a little too difficult, you can also just keep moving and work your way through the stage until you reach a point where you can finally move up close to hit the sniper with a melee attack. Deflecting bullets is simply more efficient.
