Evil always returns. We just need to have good men there to fight it.

So find some puss to pound, Jack.

>>90888436
That's why he had Jack trained to be the greatest warrior ever. So when he slew Aku, he would find a way to stop him forever.

Hopefully he dies a virgin.

>>90889334
the only explanation is at the start of the 2nd episode which is summed up as "travelling through time made time have no effect on him any more I guess"

>>90889290
He has so much combat experience under his belt that he's become practically impossible to kill unless if you dump a nuke in his vicinity or something.

Even then, who knows if agelessness is really a side effect of the time-travel displacement and not something more? I have a feeling there's something else at play here.

>>90888710
Man he's been over the world he's bound to have smashed

>>90889365
>>90888710
He almost certainly got laid when he was the chill waiter bro after being mindwiped by the sirens.

>>90889334

Jack not aging is the REASON Aku's depressed now. He thought he could just trap Jack in the future and wait for him to die of old age, instead now he's stuck with the one guy his goons can't kill, with the one weapon that can harm him, possibly living forever.

>>90889360
I dunno, the sisters very almost had him several times in the last episode. granted he won't be caught off guard now and he knows that they're human and will change how he fights them knowing that
and there's one less of them too

next episode will probably be some rambo style guerilla shit going down

>>90889382
Which is why Jack is so focused on not letting him know about his missing sword.
If Aku knew that he would just go in for the kill instantly.

>>90889268
na jack is going to become the guardian of aku sealed in the sword. Jack will then just reseal him whenever he escapes

>>90889021
Jack can't be impaled by his own sword. Even if it was by his own hands. The sword embodies all that is good and can't be used on the pure hearted. Aku tried to kill him with it before and it wouldn't penetrate his skin. But nice b8 anyhow fag.

>>90889634
>The sword embodies all that is good and can't be used on the pure hearted.
Could Jack be considered pure hearted now though? Especially since he's aware of killing a human as opposed to a machine.

>>90889376

Oh fuck you are right. Maybe Genndy set it up that way on purpose. Not a bad observation, anon.

Lava monster was breaking a curse that kept him alive without it he rapidly aged. Jack didn't kill him.
The bounty hunters were ambiguous at best and you can't really judge it on the way they act since machines apparently have the ability to feel. That and we don't actually know if they had died.
The Gargoyle was a Gargoyle. As in a stone golem animated by magic.

He can't and he wouldn't, for fairly moral and obviously logical reasons.

>he knows that getting into a relationship with a trustworthy and honest girl would just end up endangering his said lover in the long run, since Aku and bounty hunters would just kidnap her/torture her/kill her to bait or break Jack

>he's a man with morals, he'd never knock-up a bunch of women only to abandon them and become a deadbeat thereafter

>>90889951
>>Lava Monster
But that was Aku that killed him by cursing him in such a way that made immortal yet age if the curse was ever broken.
So say if Jack had broken the curse five days after he had cursed the warrior would have lived.

I mean he literally comes out without a scratch.

>>90890086
So whaat you're saying is that in narrative Jack never killed anyone (because of censors) and now they're gonna use it as a lazy "o noe im uh killeerrr" plot? Because that is shit writing.

>>90889360
I think the wolf sublplot in episode 2 goes against what you're postulating here. Despite how fierce a fighter the wolf was, and despite the fact that he killed numerous tigers, his luck eventually wore out and he was defeated. Now maybe my interpretation is off but that little side story was put into the episode for a reason.

>>90888436
I believe the difference between the two is that unlike like the gods, who kept attacking in order to burn the source with god power, jack's father sealed him into the earth.

Jack's approach was to strike aku while he was down, burning him away with the power of the sword. See how both Jack and his father captured aku into the sword. jack's father plunged it into the floor where as jack cast Aku back out of the sword to attack him again.

>>90889616

Shit writing would be if they blatantly made every enemy human then said they weren't. This is the opposite, they took the fact that just about every enemy Jack killed was a robot and incorporated it into the lore.

People on 4chan always treat "battle experience" as something that doesn't make sense is always added up, that is stupid.


You can have 20 years of combate experience and still be killed.by a suckered punch of some retarded fucker. There are a limit for the number of ways that you can deal with an enemy in a situation, people just don't get better and better "just because" infinitely.

I doubt that if you strip down this Jack from the new gear and put him against season 4 Jack, there would be a big difference.

No. It's impossible to use the sword for evil.

If Jack harming himself was good then the sword would be able to do it. For example, if Jack had to commit suicide for some reason in order to slay Aku or save someone's life he'd theoretically be able to do it.

>>90889365
You'd think so but if the flaming ghosts of your tormented family showed up every time you were about to bust a nut, just as your past self started asking you to kill yourself, you probably would have some erectile difficulties.

>>90889021
This. He'll sudoku with Aku in the sword like in OP's pic and kill them both.

>>90891618
>killing someone trying to kill you isn't the right thing to do
fuck off

>>90891600
I hope not. Jack doesn't need a love interest.

I'm predicting either a face turn for her or she winds up being the most vicious, relentless one of them all because she cares more about her sisters' deaths than the others do. She's more emotionally sensitive so that shit could hit her way harder.

>>90889545
>If Aku knew that he would just go in for the kill instantly
But Aku will eventually find out, and that's how we'll get our climactic battle. Ashi will probably find the sword.

>>90891687
>But Aku will eventually find out
Yeah, eventually.
But that'll probably be the moment Jack needs to get his hands on the sword knowing Aku.

>>90889634
>Aku tried to kill him with it before and it wouldn't penetrate his skin
That's why. EVIL cannot wield the sword against GOOD. Nobody said anything about Jack not being able to use the sword against himself.

See, what we're forgetting here is that the sword "can't be used for evil."
Yes, Jack specifies that it "cannot harm an innocent" as well, but what if, say, Aku falls over during their fight, and Jack gets Aku in a full nelson with him on top, and onlydaughterwithanamethatescapesmeatthemoment needs to stab Aku through Jack?

Technically the sword isn't being used for evil, but it needs to harm an innocent to perform its duty. Since the sword appears to decide, would it decide harming jack outweighs killing Aku and bounce off the samurai, or would it decide that one sacrifice to stop the ultimate evil is a greater good and pierce Jack too?

>>90891670

I didn't say it wasn't. But having no sword means Jack, for the first time, has room to doubt the goodness of his actions.

>She was almost a child
>Trained and taught from birth. Did she have a choice?
>Would I have done it if I knew she was human?

>>90891600

One had grenades thrown on him. At the end we see their bodies and his is still in tact. If it was a robot they would have shown the limbs scattered.

Jack needs to literally fuck the evil out of Aku.

They can't have been killed because if they were human they would have bled since it's been established that the humans Jack kills bleed blood and not oil/lubricant.

Therefore, by powers of retroactive continuity, the bounty hunters can't have died.

>>90890386
This. Basically Jack's father was a retarded fuck up who got his kingdom razed and his people enslaved because he decided to seal Aku, rather than kill him

>>90891726
>age difference
Jack doesn't age. So if she's in the 20s range then it's fair game because jack is in his 20 -30s.

I'm sure at the time he didn't know. It all happened in one day and for sure he wasn't counting on an eclipse to release aku. He just said we learn from this day so that we may always be at the ready.

>>90891670
He'll still doubt himself though, that if he hadn't lost the sword and been a fuckup he probably could've avoided killing her.

>>90891618
That... actually makes a lot of sense.

Context, motherfucker. He doesn't know anything about the Daughters yet. He'll just think he killed 6 girl assassins, but as is evidenced in the trailers where he's moping in some kind of colorful fever dream sequence it weighs heavily on his mind

>>90890339
Whose got the image of /co/ complaints where you just say "shit writing" because you really don't have anything insightful to say?

>>90891875
I mean how do you even "kill" Aku?
Jack's bisected him, shredded him up, beaten the shit out of him, but it seems like the Aku black goop is limitless.

What are the kill conditions? Does he need to be sucked up in the sword first? Why does that work? So many questions. The sword obviously hurts him, but he's been literally torn apart by it and re-emerged.

>>90889376
this.
it totally felt like that's what was implied to have happened

>>90891927
>I mean how do you even "kill" Aku?
Same way the gods killed the evil black space slime. Keep slashing until it's burnt to ash. But since Aku is a "living" thing, I think the process is a bit simpler. He just needs to cut him down until he can no longer survive or shape shift.

>>90891951
No, Jack's cut him top to bottom before. He's also thrown his sword straight through Aku when he was a bat.

I think the top-to-bottom cut was in the episode where Aku 'tricks' Jack as the old hermit into getting the titan relics. I watched the marathon before the live stream of s5e1 but everything's running together.

>>90891600
>not ending like Ken and Mamiya

his mistake was sending him into the earth after defeating him
he needs to keep him trapped in the blade and put the blade in the sheath, then lock it away

Ashi will fucking die with her sisters, she might die last since she will get developed and will stick to her devotion of her family where it will start to get emotional.

So shut the fuck up. Also aku is not the final villian, it's jack himself

>>90891927
It's literally just keep attacking. Aku isn't hurt because his form can't be cut. However it can be burned with divine property items. The sword cuts and burns him, albeit not reallly how it looked in the beginning, But it's established slicing off "small parts" and letting them burn away will eventually burn him away in to nothing.

>>90892002
aku is a magical being, and this why the gods made this magical sword just so jack's father could hurt him.

>>90891684
I think she'll join Jack, but she'll feel conflicted and eventually betray him by telling Aku about the sword

>>90892061
So how much does Jack need to cut before Aku is no more? Could he turn into a fly and buzz away and reconfigure someplace else? I mean, he's been cut down to the size of a frog or a mouse and came back full size, so he must be able to grow back somehow. I dunno, maybe he eats people to regain his mass.

Why did the gods only create one weapon to defeat Aku and not a whole armour and weapon set to go against him

>>90892155

>I mean how do you even "kill" Aku?

Go rewatch Birth of Evil, you have to strike him enough to 'burn away' the pieces. Every time it hits it reduces the amount of evil left and burns it to nothingness, the shard of Evil Aku was made from only survived because the disintegration stopped for it, but not any other piece the gods attacked.

Kill conditions are "Nothing left".

found it, it was the swamp monster episode.

>>90892002
>>90892061
>>90892220

It just seems like Jack cuts and cuts and cuts, but Aku can still re-form to what he was before he was cut up.

Swamp monster is a good episode for that; Jack burns a massive hole in him, burns his arm away, cuts him in half, and cuts chunks and chunks off of Aku, but those chunks turn into fish and then Aku reforms even larger with the Titan relics. That's what I mean by the goop seeming endless. It's like no matter how much Jack burns away, Aku can generate more.

I'm sure it's just a case of him dying when the plot calls for it, but it just seems kinda moot even with the sword when Aku can just continuously blob out more Aku goop.

>>90892252
The upper limit is probably spiritual rather than physical. You won't see the physical change to form that you would expect from an enemy, but eventually Jack will whittle away at the thing that is Aku and it will die as a result.

>>90892317
That would be fucking amazing.

>>90892824
It's less the beard and more the visible aging and graying, which present Jack lacks entirely.

Though it is an interesting thought that the Jack presented as returning to the portal does not necessarily proceed there immediately after killing Aku. He has a crown and robes, he might have become ruler of the world and spent a century restoring it to peace and prosperity before going back.

>>90892317
>Maybe the Dark figure he sees is his own tainted final form?
Maybe. He has a sword on his back, but I'm not sure if it's THE sword.

Anyway, a gritty as fuck magic samurai vs. embodiment of evil death match would be the perfect way to send this series off.

>>90892926
>Jack going full Shogun Mode with a horse and full powered magic sword

Damn I'm already cumming

>>90892907
Maybe. Or he might spend that long just looking for a time portal Aku didn't destroy.

Point is he's stuck there for a long, long time, if he ever gets back to the past

Of course, the present dilemma is whether he wants to risk getting memed on by Aku in the past but potentially see his family and prevent everything from happening, or be content with the fact he killed Aku in the future and stay there, slowly rebuilding the world that Aku destroyed.

>>90891618
Perhaps that explains why no one in the Princess & the Bounty Hunters episode died. Maybe they weren't evil enough to be killed.

That'd be a pretty good way to get around any complaints. The sword can only damage you proportionate to how evil you are. Unless you're a robot, or any kind of non-flesh organism. In which case fuck you, emotions or not.

>>90889926
He's a fucking samurai. Killing is in the job description. There's nothing wrong with killing an enemy in battle.

He's never definitely killed anything that wasn't in some way mechanical, though. This is the first time he's actually spilled blood.

>>90893111
Not really. It's just enough time to start enjoying life again before everything goes to shit.

>>90893048
It makes a certain amount of sense, too. The only 'good' things I can remember the sword killing were both robots (X-9 and the unnamed robot when Jack was infected with Aku). It might be the sword can't distinguish good and evil in a non-living being.

It was made from a soul, it can probably only determine whether something is good or evil by reading its soul - and robots don't have souls.

If Jack wanted to have sex he wouldn't be able to because all the hallucinations would keep screaming at him to stop wasting time porking some three-titted ayy lmao slag.

>>90890339
So you're going to say that Jack has actually killed thousands of humans because they obviously only used robots and smoke monsters for the censors right?

>>90889268
So basically samurai jack is literally legend of zelda minus the female and minus reincarnations.

>>90892359
Some fucking idiot asked what Jack's dad's name is. I have not a god damn clue why anyone would feel that's worth asking when they could ask if we'll find out what Jack's name is. But, Genndy's answer was he doesn't like attaching names to the characters, and so Jack's dad is just Emperor, so no, we probably won't find out Jack's real name.

>>90892252
Aku probably became more powerful between the first fight and the long time between this fight. I mean Aku KNEW for a fact that Samurai Jack would show up again one day, and that he was essentially no match for the FOOLISH SAMURAI WARRIOR, so it makes sense that he would level up in the time he was given.

>>90893361
So not Zelda at all.

>>90893300
No, I think it's fine that he was and still is mostly fighting robots and demons but when we literally saw him kill several people, it's ridiculous to say he just "knocked them out" by slicing them with his katana if we're now allowed to acknowledge kills. I also just really object to the idea that in 50 years he never ever had to kill a human being because in the first series we weren't allowed to have it directly happen on screen, and when Jack never gave a Batman type no kill speech either. It's dumb.

>>90890078
>where?

>Yeah, it is. The whole conceit of the first series is that we couldn’t kill a human. He fought some, but he never killed them. He always had to find a way around it. When you’re fighting a machine that’s programmed, that has one singular goal and has no emotion, like we say in the show, “It’s just nuts and bolts, it doesn’t matter.” But when he faces something real, with feelings, that has a choice, he can’t just easily kill it.

Literally the same thing, check your autism at the door. Just because there is no forced romantic trope between two characters doesn't mean it's not the same fucking plot.

Actually, several aren't reincarnations (Toon Link is the most immediate example) and most of them all have differing personalities.

>>90897327
>>90897526
Nope, it's a different Link every time. That's why Wind Waker had the whole legend about the boy in the green tunic defeating the great evil hundreds of years ago, Ganon and Link constantly reincarnate to fight each other, while Jack and Aku having been fighting for, well, technically, maybe a year or so, followed by a 50 year lull, but it's still the same guys.

>>90888436
(to answer your question OP, Jack just returns to before Aku was created)

Well, considering conventional modern notions of Time Travel....

We know Jack fails to ever return to the past because Jack is experiencing his own causality.

If Jack were to of been successful, one of the first things that would of happened right after he was sent to the future, would of been to run into himself then converge as the first time loop is completed (when he returns back into time)
SOOOOOOO, the point is, whats the point of samurai jack if we all know he is never returning to the past?

>>90901270

It depends on how it Is done. just keep cutting him down and do not give him a chance to escape.

I wonder if he'll think about all the people he saved and realize they'll cease to exist if he changes the past.

>>90895102
Black holes are a pretty good way to get rid of things though. Past the event horizon, "out" ceases to be a direction.

>>90902913
but it makes sense. That's why Jack hasn't aged. Think of time travel as making a clone of yourself in the future. There is the future you, and the current you that is trapped in the time stream until the future you closes the loop by returning to the past.

He seems to be interested in maximizing suffering rather than just killing people or destroying stuff. So he's built a populous, advanced dystopia-adjacent civilization where most people can go about their business most of the time, but their lives are hard and tinged with the fear of roaming perils that could mess things up with little warning. And that does happen all over all the time, at a variety of scales.

second episode bro, the talking dogs are enslaved in the mines. Can't remember much else from the earlier seasons but in season 4 the X9 robots gun down a meeting of dissenters, and Aku sentences the alien butterfly children to work in the mines.

That would be a bretty good ending

WW Link is a reincarnation, SS all but confirms that with Demise's curse. All the King was able to confirm in WW was that Link was not the Hero of Time. For some reason everyone expected him to be the exact same person and not a reincarnation, which is why they assumed Link could speak old Hylian. Nobody ever said he didn't have the Hero's Spirit, only that he wasn't the same person as the Hero of Time. And only Link is reincarnated in the cycle, each Zelda is separate and is just someone in the same bloodline with the same name, and the BBEG is just whoever is handy at the time.

>>90911291

Is the comic canon? Because if it is, it's not the Emperor's sword anymore, it's Jack's.

>>90911291
In the episode with the metal-eaters, them eating the sword was played up as a real possibility throughout. I don't think the sword is indestructible. But Jack might have lost the dagger with his plunge into the river. He doesn't have it in the preview for episode 3.

Yes

It's not wrong to, self preservation trumps killing. But you are right about the self doubt that comes from it.

Even in the real world with actual child soldiers, the correct course of action in a battle is to kill them. Though the ideal situation is to force them into a surrender without fighting, which is rarely the case. Typically they'll be killed by other child soldiers or their handlers when things look bad. But there are several cases of troops refusing to fire on children, and being captured or killed as a direct result. As well as whenever the death of child soldiers is reported by the media, it's always that the professional troops should have (by some miracle) not killed them.
Child soldiers are a terrible thing and have been present in fighting since the dawn of time. Even some developed nations come under fire for using them. Though more likely as 16/17 years old in professional forces rather than the conscript preteens with old AKs in developing nations.

>Ecstasy of Gold piano starts playing

Is this, dare I say, Kino?

>>90891939
this
all the way this

>>90911068
You are incorrect on two accounts.

According to SS, Link, Demise, AND Zelda are constantly reincarnated to fight. Zelda is the incarnation of the Goddess Hylia and chooses to be reborn to fight Demise, in SS and in all games that take place chronologically since then.

The second inaccuracy is that WW Link, while not the Hero of Time, true, also does not carry the same spirit. He is not a reincarnation of the same hero. This is because WW takes place in the Adult Link timeline, where said Link was effectively teleported out of that universe at the end of Oot. Meaning, the spirit of the hero left that plane of existence, and that was the reason why a reincarnation of him did not appear to step up and oppose Ganon upon his return in WW's prelude. WW's Link was just a random kid who decided to step up to the plate and become a hero through his own merit; this is exactly why he had to collect the pieces of the Triforce of Courage and make it his own. That's also the reason why the ToC was shattered to begin with, because the spirit of the hero and its last owner, Oot Link, had left that world, and it, behind.

>>90891214
What other anon said is right; typically, "battle experience" is used to make a character more badass.

But I don't think that's really the case here, unlike what he thinks? At the end of the day, Jack is still human. He has close calls and, though he manages to persevere in the end, he still has his limits. It's just that Aku has been completely intimidated by Jack that he doesn't dare face off against him directly without any trickery, and he's lost hope in other forces being able to do him in.

Jack's still "only human". It's just his reputation as a hero has transformed him into a force of nature in Aku's eyes.

>>90911556
>According to SS, Link, Demise, AND Zelda are constantly reincarnated to fight.

The game literally says spirit of the hero and bloodline of the goddess. Keyword is bloodline. How morons still get this wrong 6 years after the game came out is baffling. You even have 2 concurrent Zeldas in LoZ/AoL for fucks sake. Zelda is not reincarnated, end of story. And Demise is not reincarnated either, SS makes that clear. Demise is not Ganon.

As for the second point, the spirit of the hero could be divine, immortal and transcend timeline fuckery. Either way, the time line doesn't disqualify him from being a reincarnation because the games don't talk about the metaphysics of the timeline split. What we do know is that the spirit of the hero came back as per Demise's curse in WW and ST.

>this is exactly why he had to collect the pieces of the Triforce of Courage and make it his own.

What is Adventure of Link

>Meaning, the spirit of the hero left that plane of existence, and that was the reason why a reincarnation of him did not appear to step up and oppose Ganon upon his return in WW's prelude.

A Link also didn't show up during the Imprisoning War and no, that war does not take place immediately after OoT.

>That's also the reason why the ToC was shattered to begin with, because the spirit of the hero and its last owner, Oot Link, had left that world, and it, behind.

Again, Adventure of Link. Link doesn't always start with the Triforce or even have it at all. In BotW Zelda has the complete thing at the end and Link never got any piece of the Triforce.

The gods that were fighting Aku's primal form were chopping it up until nothing remained. Aku clinging to the blade is probably a desperate trick to avoid being cut further and Jack's father fell for it.
>If he'd held the blade aloft for much longer it would have burned Aku away until nothing was left
>when Jack shook Aku off the sword, that was his actual "oh shit" moment

More to the point, was that honestly the best job Greg Baldwin could do? A mish mash of accents that comes out sounding straight out of eastern europe? The voice was right but the horrid accent just keeps shattering my attention.
>that was the old Aku, I'm different now
Oh fuck you too.

>>90912094
That was the old Aku. This is the new Aku.

PUFFY

Name literally any culture and it has a story of some hero using a magic sword to defeat a previously immortal evil you stupid motherfucker.

Instead of finding way to continue the family, Jack should find someone to pass the mantle.
Some worthy young warrior ready to became his apprentice, to study way of the samurai and eventualy estabish the order of fighters against Evil.

Oh so you dropped half the terms you used in your previous post, good job.

>>90913376
I'm not the same person you retard

>The sheer autism it takes to argue the same stupid redundant things over and over
/v/ plz leave.

You have all forgotten the wisdom of Jack's father. It is better that Jack lost the sword so he could use his mind and find the path to his destiny. The slowest pottery burn of all will come in due time.

Who says they have to be young?
>Jack encounters a 50 year old warrior, his body hard like wrought iron, his entire life dedicated to the Samurai path of light

>>90913301
Da samoorai, of course.

>>90913892
He'd easily be 70 years old by now. It'd be awesome if he DID become a proper samurai master, and Jack encounters him tutoring a new generation in Jack's footsteps.

>>90891861
Do you think Jack not aging has affected his mental state besides the while depression and anxiety from not defeating Aku he really hasn't change much personality wise he should be a completely different person

Dear god please no. I cant handle something that awful happening to jack

How dare you answer to me.

It's pretty fucking close.

>>90913997
What is that even from

>>90889069
Well, he did.

>>90913997
Im sure babies are pure enough to not be killed by the sword

>Once in a while Aku comes out in human form and drains Jack's heavy samurai balls before being re sealed.

Fandub to replace Greg when?

You could do it with some practice. I hope to God this takes off and /co/ ends up removing Baldwin from the series entirely.

>>90916874
I dont think hes so bad

>>90916874
>I hope to God this takes off
It won't, these Aku impersonating anons are fun to hear from time to time (and ofen cringy) but still none of them can impersonate mako as good as Baldwin does.
