Three samurai?

“We need at least twice that many.”

They go out to confront the enemy

Enemy: “Six samurai? We can take them.”

a seventh samurai appears

Enemy: “Shit, we didn’t prepare for this.”

the books are called Three Musketeers... it is about four musketeers :(

Turns out they needed six. One of them wasn't actually a samurai.

Also the OG film that started the cliche of training the townspeople with pointy sticks and adding pointy stick to the towns perimeter in a remarkably short timespan.

So they need 7 samurai and a bunch or pointy things.

[off topic]

Preparing for the final battle, the least talented samurai comes up with a great trick. He makes a big pile of dirt in the middle of the town and puts all the captured swords in it. That way, if he loses his sword in the fight he's got a spare close by.

Looks around, what are we? some kind of seven samurai?

Reminds me of when i'm reading war and peace wondering how it's going to end
