How would you rate episode 2 ofThe Elusive Samurai (TV 2) ? This week, instead of getting an ensemble showcase like the season premiere, The Elusive Samurai sends its titular young hero into the fray with brave Ayako as his stalwart vassal. We get all of the expected exaggerations and visual metaphors, and while this isn't the greatest psychological showdown that we've seen from The Elusive Samurai , it's still pretty good. I've been expecting Ayako and Tokiyuki to become an item at some point, and here is where The Elusive Samurai makes its greatest case yet for the pair. Episode 2 Rating:The Elusive Samurai Season 2 is currently streaming on Crunchyroll.
