Aku's followers

>>90739665
For you ;)

Aku was shown to have a soft spot for children on a few occasions. The cult does not seem to share that.

>>90739706
Is the idea here that he can relate to kids because they, too, are pure, indiscriminate evil?

Gotta remember that Aku killed hundreds or thousands or millions of children. Unless all those cities he destroyed were uninhabited by children...

Aku was trying to convince them he was a hero through propaganda

The cult was trying to train people from birth to kill Jack. They had different goals

Aku is evil incarnate. But he's so removed from moral obligation that he does what he wants. So he can go from being a goofy geezer overlord to a relentless malefic blight on all that is righteous.

Clips from the same episode.

>>90739665
There were dead children in the village Scaramouch destroyed.

Aku only gives a shit about children as potential future followers.

WAS NOT ANSWERING THEIR CALLS PART OF THEIR PLAN?

Aku is capricious. He just indulges in whatever evil he can think of on a whim.

>>90739665
I always thought tha Aku is a child
you know, children is cruel

I suppose you could consider him a child compared to the eldritch horror that birthed him. Also
>you now realize that Jack and Aku are chronologically the same age

Aku was spreading propaganda in that episode. Killing the children would have meant less potential loyal followers in the future, and likely would have sparked outrage that would lead more people to the Samurai's side.

>>90739665

you mean it's really farfetched that people who worship a supreme being could deliberately and without conscience bring harm to children?

...have you ever heard of religion?

He wasn't birthed right before he landed on earth. He's just the one piece that survived and was later set free by the emperor. Saying that he's only as old as Jack is a stretch.

>>90739706
Aku doesn't even know the cult exists
Either way Aku probably doesn't like doing his own dirty work and let's his minions torture and pillage but he's still power hungry

"Aku" didn't exist until the Emperor struck the pit with that enchanted arrow. Before that, it was simply a mindless amorphous blob leftover from an even greater cosmic abomination

Prove it.

I think he was more of a threat back then. Sentient Aku will dick around. Blob Aku will just eat everything at increasingly exponential rates.
