Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're wearing out your welcome
E/S: No one here wants to see you, hear you
Think that you won from day one
But soon the devil will come
You know just why he wants you, don't you?
S: Your crooked desire left us in disarray
You started a fire, you're gonna watch it burn!
Try to save yourself like you always do
K/E/S: Every bridge we build
You think it's yours to burn it down, just burn it down!
When everything is gone
You'll wish you only heard us out, heard us out!
S: Screaming Mayday!
Mayday!
E: cct like you've only done good
Unfairly miss understood?
E/S: Play the victim it's so you, what's new?
Lie after lie after lie
We all stopped counting the crimes
You know why we can't trust you, don't you?
S: Your crooked desire left us in disarray
Misguided, divided at the point of no return
You started a fire, you're gonna watch it burn!

You think it's yours to burn it down, just burn it down!
When everything is gone
You'll wish you only heard us out, heard us out!
S: Why don't you choke on yourself
Swallow the hate or just fucking go!
You set yourself the world on fire
Rising higher and higher

The opening theme song for the anime series Captain Tsubasa contains lyrics that speak to a sense of betrayal and the consequences that follow. The song begins with a message addressed to someone who has overstayed their welcome and is no longer wanted by those around them. The lyrics suggest that this person believes they have won or achieved something, but soon they will face the repercussions of their actions. The mention of the devil indicates that their wrongdoing will catch up to them eventually.
The chorus emphasizes the destructive nature of this individual. They are described as someone who burns bridges, destroying the connections they have built with others. Despite the consequences, they continue to act in their own self-interest, trying to save themselves without regard for the damage they have caused. The repetition of "Every bridge we build, you think it's yours to burn it down" reinforces the idea of this person continuously sabotaging relationships and causing harm.
The lyrics also highlight the lack of trust in this person. They are depicted as someone who spreads lies, manipulates situations, and portrays themselves as a victim. The line "You know why we can't trust you, don't you?" suggests that their actions have eroded the trust of those around them. The song reaches its climax with the call for this person to choke on their own hate or simply leave, emphasizing the frustration and anger felt towards them.

I love how the lyrics perfectly fit each of the characters.
Mugen: "Sharp like an edge of a samurai sword
The mental blade cut through flesh and bone
Though my mind's at peace, the world out of order
Missing the inner heat, life gets colder"
Mugen's fighting style is unconventional, yet sharp like the blade he wields, and it is this unpredictabilty that allows him to easily cut through obstacles. Despite his traumatic childhood, he seems to be the most at peace with himself compared to his companions. This is likely due to his understanding that the world is out of order and life is difficult. As a result, he has become a realist who sees things as they are, without being overly optimistic or pessimistic.
Jin: "Oh yes, I have to find my path
No less, walk on earth, water, and fire
The elements compose a magnum opus
My modus operandi is amalgam"
Jin is a person who is motivated by a deep sense of purpose and a quest for meaning. He has already overcome numerous challenges, symbolized by his journey through earth, water, and fire, which represent the hardships of his life. The phrase "magnum opus" is used to describe Jin's fighting style, which is comparable to the work of an artist or composer. This is fitting, as Jin's battles are characterized by grace and elegance. Overall, Jin's character is defined by his resilience and his pursuit of excellence in all aspects of his life. He is a true samurai.
Fuu: "Steel packed tight in micro-chip
On my armor a sign of all-pro
The ultimate reward is honor, not awards
At odds with the times in wards with no lords"
Fuu is undoubtedly the smartest member of the trio, with a determined focus on finding the Samurai who smells of sunflowers. Her "steel packed" demeanor suggests that she is the team's innovator and the one who holds Mugen and Jin together. Fuu's motivation seems to stem from a sense of honor rather than material gain, as evidenced by the third line. Her personality strikes a perfect balance between Jin's Samurai side and Mugen's Champloo renegade side, blending both worlds seamlessly. Overall, Fuu's presence is essential to the success of the trio.
@cherelliee
I love the contrast between Mugen and Jin.
Both skilled fighters but you can see the difference in their fighting style in the intro.
Mugen has a wild unconventional way of using his sword but is still very precise. You can tell Mugen is self taught.
Jin is lethal as well but is more controlled in his movements due to being taught.
Such an amazing trio.
Then you add Fuu, the balance between Mugen and Jin.
She keeps them grounded with her intelligence and feminine touch.

@kingdoge69
We need more hip-hop inspired music in anime, or even just in anime openings like this
@adalmarcial3096
this is just the vibe that shinichiro brings to all the shit he directs
@Gandhi_Physique
Right. The heavy rock or high-pitched chicks singing is cool sometimes, but some chill hip-hop type stuff is what I really want.
@kingdoge69
@@Gandhi_Physique yeah, would be nice every now and then at least lol
