I have a theory to explain the massive blood loss Jack sustained

>>91078850
You know what you need

To fucking neck yourself

Jack didn't bleed out because the knife stayed in the wound.

He healed fast because a magic wolf healed him with Steven Universe spit.

If we had to take the massive amount of blood in the water as anything other than artistic choice, then yeah, I'd say he has a mild healing factor.

>>91078850
we actually do, no sarcasm you cunt

>>91078836
I thought it was more like a Kill Bill thing. Endless blood with no logic behind it.

something something time portal that was actually yet another aku trap. teams up with a sentai team that lasts all of three pages before they sacrifice themselves to destroy the hordes of robots around them.

>>91078975
Looks like Mazinger there in the middle.

>>91078836
He's not actually bleeding that much. Blood retains a rather vivid color even after dilution which creates the appearance of greater blood loss when it comes in contact with water. While you are right about Jack healing the knife wound unrealistically (given the angle of the wound he should have a perforated intestine), quit being so fucking nitpicky about a goddamn action show.

>>91078872
Would still be a deadly amount of bloodloss in that timeframe. Plus the part where he pulled the knife and just passed out with the wound open, should have killed him.

>>91078916
Same reason the guardian was.

It was grossly exaggerated to make a point.

He didn't lose a FUCKTON of blood, jsut a large amount.

My theory is that it's a cartoon and certain things don't work or reflect themselves as they would in real life.

Just wanted to say that tonight, all these threads inspired me to finally watch Samurai Jack for the first time.

I didn't really follow it back when it was originally airing (For whatever reason), but now I really regret that decision. The visuals are goddamn gorgeous, and the amount of storytelling not done through dialogue is very surprising and welcome.

I have a long way to go to get caught up, but I have a feeling it's going to be worth it.

>>91079588
>jack didn't put a pillow over the totoro thing's face while it slept offscreen until it died

>>91078836
I'd like clarity, but I don't think we need it.
I can understand why Genndy would avoid it too.
If he straight up said Jack can either heal at an accelerated rate or heals at a regular rate but cannot die from minor wounds then people might lose tension from any later fights.

Genndy says the whole Zub series is noncanon, but I find that unnecessary besides that last issue.
On the other hand, Quest for the Broken Blade was mentioned as something he wanted to adapt for the finale film, only for it to be extended for the new season.

>>91079753
It'd be nice if we get a character named Zub, just as a wink/nod.

Sounds like a noodle incident we missed.

>>91079884

Jack, how do you know what leprechauns are but NOT know that you never make deals with fairies?

I've got an explanation

Samurai jack is a show that puts narrative and it's impressionistic visual style before strict realism.

That's it, that's the theory. What do you guys think?

>>91079909
Jack is incredibly weak to tricks and lies. Like laughably so.

>>91079945
He's just so trusting

>>91079969
Scotsman, for god's sake.

>>91079804

That's a thing? I was actually bothered because I thought it was stupid that Jack healed with a tree branch and a bone, that shit would get infected.

>>91080134
Oh yeah. Wound licking is an instinct many mammals - including humans - have.

The mud-based poultice has real historical basis, too.

>>91078836
I have a better theory.
He is Jesus.

>you don't know jack's real name

The proofs are there
Jack=Jesus Christ.

>>91080181

>Worrying about bloodloss
>When you're just like a samurai

Up to finding the cave he was really bleeding. From then on the excessive blood was a visual effect, I guess to draw a connection with the white wolf? Notice how Jack was suddenly covered in scratches and bleeding from his head down.

>>91081778
The excessive blood was likely to show how low and desperate Jack had fallen, he was no longer a proud, skilled samurai, he was a bloody,scared, bearded loon, scraping out a living in a musty old cave, bleeding out on himself. As soon as the wolf appeared, it cleared Jack's head, and the very first t hing he does is make a makeshift needle and thread to sew his wound up.

>>91081564
Is that a crucifix sword?

>>91080134
I think even human saliva also has (really mild) antibacterial effects because of enzymes or some shit. Probably not a good idea to be spitting on your cuts anyway, though

Dogs have cleaner mouths than humans due to the spacing in their teeth, so it's actually not a bad idea to have a dog lick your wound if you don't have a better option

>>91081899
I think that's an old myth, considering the amount of bacteria in a dog's mouth compared to a human when dogs will lick anything like feces or their own genitals.

>>91081899
>>91081963
Yes and no. They don't have the cleanest mouths, true, but their mouths aren't a danger to humans either...unless of course they're biting you.

The comic book is generally pretty close to the original run of the series in tone, but that gender swap one really went off the rails.

When I first heard they were making more SJ I was kind of upset, I liked the ending of the comic, it honestly made me pretty happy, as it happens the new series is excellent, so that's not a problem, but it's was still a good ending. Jack making peace with his new lot in life and trying to save what could still be saved rather than trying to return to the past, it hit just the right more of ambiguity and bittersweetness to work for me.

>>91078836

Blood mixed with anything water based makes it look much worse than it is.
Realistically, he suffered blood loss, but not as severe as you would think, as te water would spread the blood out, making a thin layer

Alright all these threads only lead me to the conclusion that Samurai Jack is NOT the show for /co/. You morons have this bizarre need for everything to be literal, as if you don't understand stylistic choices and art.

It's a cartoon.

Or it's just a cartoon and you're overthinking it. Genndy doesn't do extra animation for MUH DEEPEST LORE or MUH PLOT CLUES, he does it because lots of blood looks badass gross and unsettling. He's a visual director--he honestly couldn't care two shits about the plot. That's why the plot hasn't advanced in three episodes.

Which is fine, because again. It's a cartoon, not fucking House of Leaves.
