Samurai Spirit was, for me at least, the best of the 'fish out water martial arts explorer' type shows. Human Weapon - meh; Fight Quest was a little better but I really like Nicolas Pettas (his book is a fantastic read BTW) and I always thought it a shame they didn't do more with this show and with him as the host/protagonist.

"The Samurai spirit?"
Is largely a fictional/anime/fantasy of a martial ethos that by and large.... never existed.

A not too well known saying:
"Hell, is being reborn... a samurai."
