I kind of mixed the 7 samurai with the movie the Warriors or maybe more like "Original Gangstas". that pam greer, Jim brown, and Fred Williamson movie from the 90's

The samurai were a street gang back in the day that ran like a gang used to. They took care of their turf and were unified to keep everyone in their turf safe. As time moved on so did the gang. They disbanded and left their turf to fend for its self. Fast forward to the present and some kids start a new gang called the samurai and they are thugs and miscreants. They run drugs, murder and extort money. John Jacobson, one of the original 7 samurai, tries to stop some the new samurai from robbing someone and gets killed. The funeral that proceeds is attended by 6 of the original members of the samurai. John's son Jason convinces the samurai to take their neighborhood back and avenge the death of john.

These drawings are tremendously evocative. As soon as I saw them I thought of "Warriors," even though they are clearly not intended to be exact copies. I think it's the attitudes that you've given them. Nice work!
very nice as usual.

I love the concept of 'modern day' Samurai. Just because no one wields katana anymore doesn't mean the idea of the Samurai needs to be lost.

Great character designs too. So stylish and full of life.
