Why is the Scotsman a match for Jack? I understand that his sword

>>90775715
Decades of experience fighting off Akus men.

>>90775715
he's a big guy

>>90775715
He's not anymore. As of Season 4 Jack strictly outclasses him in every category except siren-resistance. That was basically the whole point of the last of of The Scotsman Saves Jack Part 2.

>>90775715
>jack:how did you get good at fighting?
>scottsman: by fightin, wee lad

Look at him
his wife is stronger than both

It's just an archetype that shows up from time to time

Off the top of my head, Scrooge McDuck and the Scotsman from Atomic Robo

He's not. But his personality is the perfect contrast to Jack's without making him an enemy.

This isn't Dragonball Z OP, there are no power levels and numbers telling people who they can and cannot beat. Aku himself has lost to beings besides Jack.

The entire ending of that arc was pointless filler. Should have ended after the Siren battle, but it just kept going with pointless stuff.

>the whole point of the last of of The Scotsman Saves Jack Part 2
unnecessary pointless filler because they ended the story too soon. ruined the episode.

It was the best part of that two-parter you plebs.

>>90775715
Some guy part of a warrior tribe with a crazy-ass strong wife who's had decades of combat experience. Not to mention he's likely older than Jack.

>seriously, unironically implying the JUMP GOOD callback wasn't the funniest goddamn thing in the episode

It was filler, absolutely, but this is a show that is 90% filler with virtually no continuity. It's 10 minutes worth of Jack and Scotsman ragging on each other, which are always some of the highest points of the show whenever they occur. I honestly don't understand how anyone could be mad about that.

>>90776175
No it wasn't you vapid little faggot. I bet you like slice-of-life anime.

>>90775715
Because he's a foil.

>>90775965
>>90776001

the entire franchise is pointless filler

>>90775715
Nothing precludes the Scotsman from being heavily trained

Then again, we don't know a lot about him. This guy is Jack's closest friend and he never even bothered to ask what his name is

>>90777442
Its not like we know the scotsman's name either.

WHAT D'YE THINK O' THAT, YOU...

>>90777301
It's finally happened. We can now say that every episode ever was filler.

>>90775715
He's just a good ass fighter, what's hard to get?

While he definitely made Jack break a sweat, Jack has been outmatched within the series, by those cat hunters and the Guardian.

>>90776357
I wasn't mad about this, but when I was first watching the latter half of that ep, I expected it to have some kind of a point, but then it just hit me than it really didn't.

Are you really that much of a worthless cockgobbler? Shit opinion, kill yourself.

I think you missed one.

>>90778635
Cat Hunters functioned as a group and alone were probably worse, and Blue Guardian had thousands of years of experience.

I'm in agreement with the anon, kill yourself you insipid cunt

>>90779047
I accept your surrender.

>>90777442
I actually wonder if he knows jack's name. He usually calls him "friend" or "laddie" rather than by name, the same way jack's parents always call him "my son"

>>90779991
Yeah but he's engineering, not security.

>>90778635
Because years of whacking something with a sword =/= actual training with a sword

The Scotsman is just used to overpowering things, that is it. He does not have the intense training Jack has.

The whole episode was meant to compare western brute force and senseless determination with eastern training and discipline.

You have to keep in mind they're fighting on a bridge. Jack's mobile as fuck, so fighting in a more open space would've probably resulted in a Jack victory
