Because they seem more badass that way. Like they are a loner that wears minimal armor because they never get hit, and they move at super speed.

If I'm imagining correctly what you're describing, that's basically what a rnin was, a samurai without a lord or master.

The no armour thing, it's probably just because it looks cooler as SH_expert44 said.

Samurai armor was worn in wartime on the battlefield, but it's not like they always wore it.

I always picture samurai fully armored, personally. I don't picture them like Samurai Champloo or Yojimbo.

Because it would be a pain in the ass to carry armor around everywhere you went

Are there any animes that prominantely show samurai in actual warfare? Seems like all of them are portrayed as loners in peacetime like what that other user described

It has been so long since I have seen it but didn't the Last Samurai staring Tom Cruise have samurai fighting in armor. How could you guys all forget that movie.
