Justice

A lightning-quick gun-fighter and current #1 fighter of the world, little is known of this reclusive warrior. The only thing known for sure is that he killed the prior top fighter in the world in a one-on-one duel -- that top fighter was the father of Afro Samurai. It is rumored that his strange skin color is due to some kind of horrible accident. The holder of the Number One headband for most of season one, Justice is the man who killed Afro's father before his eyes many years ago and to some extent convince him to challenge him when he was old enough.

He is a remarkably skilled gunman, dressing in a cowboy garb with the Number One headband tied around his wide-brimmed hat. He has discolored, diseased-looking skin, which his bio on the official site implies is the result of a past accident (undecided, but assumed by the publishers to have been submerged in toxic waste) which would explain his abnormal abilities. Justice has the ability to regenerate himself after being exposed to blood, as seen just before his final fight with Afro when the injured hero's blood flows to Justice's feet and his withered body begins to reshape into the young version that fought Afro's father. He also has a third arm hidden on his back that holds a sword for catching opponents off guard (in an earlier version of the official website, Justice was described as "The Gunman with Three Arms"), which explains how he decapitated Afro's father.
