If jack had his sword could he have defeated the girls without having to kill them?
He may have just killed her but still had to realize that she was human
>>90877834
I could've sworn he murked other people in the previous seasons. Like those bounty hunters with that warrior princess.
>>90877834
If Jack had his sword he probably wouldn't be a PTSD freak. But maybe he would still think they are nuts and bolts, thus killing them.
>>90877882
Genndy said he doesn't care if people believe it or not.
>>90877834
No, the whole theme of the episode was to mark a turning point in Jack's struggle against Aku. Now he has to spill blood.
>>90877834
Jack offed her hard,
He would still kill at least one, would be a lot more dismembering thoughYou would think that their mother would've told them to never attack him solo though
Dudes, what if the girls are like, Jack's great grandcousins or some shit?
>>90877990
>Genndy said he doesn't care if people believe it or not.
Link?
>>90877834
Eh, she's fine.
>>90878111
Their mother probably never fought Jack, and they thought that they could probably take him on one-on-one.
>>90878111
Maybe she thought she could stall long enough for her sisters to catch up
is doggo going to be ok?
This is basically a story of innocence lost.
>>90878111
Someone pointed out earlier (haven't bothered to check if it's true) that the same girl that died is the one that tried to take on EXTRA THICC herself in the first episode. If so, bravo Tartakovsky
>>90877834
Maybe he would have realized the daughters werent robots.
>>90878889
Who´s? Jack or the girl?
>>90878848
shit, forgot pic
they kept destroying his weapons. his magic sword is literally indestructible, so he would have destroyed their weapons instead. maybe not have prevented death but it would have made the fight a LOT more in his favor.
>>90879104
>jack loses his sword
>first episode of new season he picks up a different sword that can make things explode
A fair trade-off
>>90879093
wolf is kill
that was the point of the metaphor
>>90878921
I just checked, it's true.
>>90879237
but his other sword was a solid lightsaber basically, and it couldn't be used against good. although i suppose his new sword destroys everything it touches so it can't be broken either, unless you break the handle or crossguard.
>>90877834
as far as I remember, the sword can't be wielded by evil, like the sword of omens, but UNLIKE that sword it CAN be used against the innocent
which is good because aku's pretty good at fucking with people's heads
GUYS
Wouldn't they just steal the sword off him? Just like they did to his new explodo-knife.
>>90879351

No, dumbass. Their is evil in each of them.
>>90879307
Did the Cutie Honey theme start playing in anyone else's head when they saw this?
imagine if we had seen some nuts & bolts when she got slashed, only for the ep to pan out in the ending and show
>>90877834
that would've been so amazing
>>90879093
>have a white husker pupper
>get all like oh look! muh doggo in a cartoon
>then that happens
well shit, I was expecting it to find jack all hurt but damn it
Why is skin color pinker now? The light-yellow hue he originally had was iconic.
Is it a tan?
>>90877834
Can someone post that 3D model of her dead?
>>90879895
>>90879895
>>90880577
Perfection.
>>90878111
The entire point of the episode was to make Jack kill one of them but at the same time show that he is no match for their combined strenght. He could have kill one of them in mid fight but in 1v1 it was more impactful.
All these people screaming "self defense" need to watch the fight again
She was handily defeated before her throat was sliced. She got knocked in the head so hard that her mask cracked.
This is a girl that was abused mentally and physically from birth, and was only fighting Jack because of brainwashing and indoctrinated lies. She wasn't evil, she was a corrupted innocent.
Jack could have defeated her without killing her, and probably would have if he'd known more about the situation.
People shouldn't be defending this murder. It was unfortunate and tragic, and completely avoidable.
>Scaramouch's head survived the explosion
>Moments after a robot's death their eyes dim (eg beetle drone and x9)
Scatbot is still alive
>>90880832
Nice pasta.
I think it needs to be reheated.
>>90880832
Based on the season trailer, the final fight in the woods between 3 or 4 daughters and Jack. So at least 2 will die seperately. My bet one does a suicide attack and Jack is forced to off her and one will be garvely injured and kills herself to not drag her sisters down.
>>90880832
It's just a cartoon for kids, faggot
>>90880843
>Season 5 begins with Jack failing to save a village from Scaramouch
>Season 5 ends with Jack managing to save a village from Scaramouch 2.0
Perfect.
>>90880412
shiiit that would have been bretty gud
>>90880832
>She wasn't evil, she was a corrupted innocent.
I have some bad news for you...
>>90877966
Chiefly this. Jack's folly was a lack of concentration and being distracted by his overall situation.
He only noticed the trip wire at the last second and only started scanning for other threats and traps when he was in mid-air, by that point the sisters had already planned out how they were going to hide and run a train on him before he'd even landed.
When he touched ground he hadn't even drawn Scaramouche's vibroblade to defend himself and all his other weapons were scattered, so they got double initiative off a simple ambush. While two or three were attacking Jack directly to injure or occupy him the others either stole or broke his gear to make sure he remained at a disadvantage.
By the time he got to cover they'd already reduced his options for escape and retaliation to zero.
Anyway, once he takes one of them on solo he's shown to be capable of keeping up with her and even counters effectively, but he was still panicking since he basically had a fucking broom handle for defense and she had a sword, which she used to break said handle. He went for a risky disarm before bad got worse and she put a knife in him. Still, he managed to turn the tables despite all of that so it goes to show how capable he is sword or no.
With his sword I'm not sure if he would have had all that earlier gear but he would likely have at least been more focused from the very start to not let them get the drop on him before he draws.
>>90877834
To directly answer your question though, OP, his biggest issue would mostly be their range and numbers. The Kusarigama and spear specifically. In the preview for the next episode he seems to go for the one with the Kanabo first likely because it's the most nonlethal, relatively speaking. Plus it would help him defend against the other weapons if he gets it.
They'll be fighting on his terms either way so we'll see how slick they are without the advantage of preemptive strike.
>>90880577

>>90880556
When Jack's motorcycle hit the tripwire all I could think of was ALWAYS A PLEASURE, RUNT
>>90881702
Found it on a /tv/ thread, but thank you anyway.
>>90880577
>>90881653
And then he put his boots on so fast after grabbing the explosives we didn't even see it happen.
>>90877834
Yes. He could have dicked them. Just like losing your penis, Jack has lost will to be a man without his sword.
Why do people think the "just nuts and bolts" has anything to do with Jack's willingness to kill? It's a comment about how he survives and lives on due to his human spirit while mowing down Aku's machines. He fought the scottsman with intent to kill and his killed Aliens/non human creatures that were totally sapient. He also slaughtered all those bounty hunters.
Fucking newfags latching on to this idea that Jack only killed robots for anything besides censor reasons is so retarded.
>>90880407
I see people on /d/ now who don't even know who ranma is, isn't Cutie Honey even more dated?
>>90881873
Yeah I thought this was weird. I recall Jack not showing much remorse towards bad guys. I guess it's trying play with the meta narrative since they were robots for censorship reasons but it dont make no sense.
>>90877882
The sword is magic and can only truly harm pure evil
>>90881929
She's had more recent outings. The one in question is from 2004.
fucking hell RE Cutie Honey is from 2004 and Im still here
>>90879351
>Red eyes with blue skin
That's the only common point they have. They don't even have a suit.
>>90882036
Where the fuck are you retards getting this idea from? It only can't harm the innocent/pure of heart, good guys on Original Series Jack's level.

Could his sword even hurt the girls?
>>90880577
Somebody keep adding to this until they are all dead
>>90879269
is this loss?
>>90877834
He'd have disarmed and incapacitated them.
The sword is obviously a metaphor for his self-worth.

Side-effect of the time portal.

Not him, but heard the same thing from a few posts on here that also accurately told us about episode 2. You could maybe find them in the archive, but you'd have to open the three dozen SJ threads we've had and do a text search on all of them. If I were you, I'd save your time and just believe it, because the posters were already proven right.
Aku has Tom Cruise teeth
Does deluded count as innocent?
>>90881337
It's not for kids anymore actually
>>90882865
She was indoctrinated and brainwashed, literally a religious cultist.
The circumstances were tragic but Jack can't be faulted for killing one, they're beyond reason. Except Ashi perhaps.
So how long do you think it'll be before Samurai "If their age is on the clock they can get shot by my glock" Jack gets his sword back? My gut says he probably won't get it until the very end, or half-way.
Do you think he'll go back to his classic look after, or are we sticking with Punished Jack the whole way?
>>90883007
>Punished Jack
kys yourself
>>90879093
I didn't like the wolf scenes being inserted.
Or at least, the way they were done was disappointing, they could've replaced some real life scenes with wolf ones instead of just putting them next to each other.
Felt sloppy.
>>90879895
>tfw the cutest one died first
I'm looking forward to jack being haunted by ninja girl as she constantly yells at him blaming him, but then eventually showing her compassionate side, breaking down, and forgiving him
>>90880577
Fucking savage
fags only upset because it's a girl who died
>>90877834
If you listen closely you can actually here her spine crack from being cut.
>>90877834
What do you think a sword is for, anon? Cutting grass?
>>90877882
They weren't killed, apparently.
>>90878921
That's her alright.
>>90884584

You have the word so you don't have to use it
>>90877834
Possibly, he would probably divide and conquer them but he would be able to take them down. Jack regularly had his weapons break over the course of the encounter and that wouldn't have happened if he had his sword.
