Besides, Ashi is cute.

>>91589777
10 episodes. Main plot problem is Jack's sanity and sense of direction. Next ep is the turning point.
You want him to be brought back from the brink by some literally who? She needed more screentime, and we needed a break from being inside the head of a guy about to attempt suicide.

Also, that's not what focussing means. There's no Ashi subplot. There's only a Jack plot where he loses his grip temporarily.

>>91589777
>Wait 12 years for Samurai Jack's return.
That's the problem

>>91589826
This is the biggest issue I have.
She's a bad character so far honestly but everyone is just all "She's cute/thicc/etc."

>>91589926
Her character is perfectly fine.

>>91589777
it isn't though.

No I don't think it is. Everyone keeps telling me she's 'fine' as a character, but all I get for reasons are that they really wanna fuck her.

You need a character to identify yourself to. And since Jack is basically a 70 year old man at this point it's easier to identify to a teenage girl

>>91590040
I think I get the reason why you don't like her, anon.

>>91590040

From episode 1 they demonstrated that she wasn't like the other sisters of Aku, and that she was curious about the outside world. If you can't see they've been dropping those hints from Ep. 1 then I don't know what to tell you, friend.

can someone link the ep pls

>>91590075
yeah sure.

>>91590082
Still. a whole childhood worth of brainwashing... only for the person you're supposed to hate to kill all your sisters (inb4 she was taught not to care) and a fucking LADYBUG... is what made her decide to go against all that child abuse, and side up with the man who murdered her sisters 2 episodes before.

>>91589991
The episode showed that she had doubts all along. It was only when her sisters were dead and she'd been saved over and over by him that she took the time to reflect upon her doubts once more.

>>91590099

Oh, c'mon. It was a good episode.
Well, thats your choice but the offers still on the table.

I've found it on daily motion, and i'd rather sends pics of my ass anyway

>>91590184
Or how about the fact I just want Samurai Jack to be the main point of the show called "Samurai Jack"?

>>91590219
And it still is.
But you seem to be forgetting that Genndy was never afraid to shift focus away from Jack.

Your just mad that it's a girl getting that focus.

The only thing that bothers me about Ashi is she has the same hair cut as Ilana. Not bad, just something I can't help but notice

>>91590219
He is, though.

>>91590133
You're a moron, an absolute moron. So you fucking shrug off that she obviously was raised to not care about her siblings, which is important. And you know damn well that the more she becomes normal, she'll end up caring about their deaths, but she'll realize that her siblings were brainwashed and didn't know the truth.

and this whole "A FUCKING LADY BUG" crap you people spew is garbage. It wasn't the literal Ladybug that made her change her mind, it was the fact that it brought out inconsistencies in what her mother taught her. Big questions can develop from small things.

And she didn't completely flip on the dime in that episode. Even in this episode, she was still in a bit of denial.

>Even when we see scenes that explain clear as water the characters motivations and goals
>Even when the characters themselves say out loud their motivations and goals
>The only way to make it more simple it would be Genndy himself explains on camera very slowly why the characters act the way they do

Maybe the Comic side of /co/ was right, Cartoons do make people brain dead

I'll explain it for you, Ashi doesn't care about Aku and never did, nor she cared about her sisters, she cared about nature becouse it looked pretty, she was by all means at heart a good guy fighting for the bad guy's side, becouse she was always sheltered and constantly preached that Aku made nature, a thing she likes, she was very passionate to a zealous degree about killing Jack, a guy that they said was opposing Aku "creator of everything good and nature", Jack, once he gets a hold of the situation, shows her by saving her multiple times and by being an all around good guy that she was in fact wrong about everything, the ladybug scene is just something she could relate more closely and the final push that makes her stop and think if what was she was doing was the right thing to do, becouse her mother was a bitch that killed bugs and punched her daily and jack was a nice guy that save her multiple times and doesn't kill pretty bugs, you could even say that moment "Really make her think"

>>91589777
You're a dumbass op if you really think the focus has been on Ashi this whole time.

>>91590248
Nah. I was looking forward to the Daughters being a focus as villain, and Ashi turning slowly... but ffs she turned in a few episodes she's taking up so much time now with her pointless shit.

>>91590263
Doesn't feel like it.

>>91590216
link me

>>91590040
I see her as a way to remind Jack of what he's fighting for. The Scotsman kinda mentioned it, saying Jack is out inspiring people by the thousands. I don't expect them to bang, but if some cult of Aku ho convinces him that the world is beautiful and worth saving maybe he can get out of the rut he's in.

>>91590219
>I just want Samurai Jack to be the main point of the show called "Samurai Jack"?
Then you probably should have stopped watching seasons ago because there have been many episodes where Jack isn't the main focus of the episode.

You are a faggot op

>Doesn't feel like it.

>>91590313
>Doesn't feel like it.
If it doesn't feel like Jack is the main focus of the season to you, then that actually isn't the shows fault, it's your fault for being too autistic to realize it because he clearly is.

>>91590313
>Doesn't feel like it.
What the fuck is that even supposed to mean? Jack is literally still the main focus.

>>91590219
Then you must have hated every season leading up to this as the structure of a ton of episodes were
>Jack encounters a new group of people, usually the group is painfully analogous to a specific culture
>Culture is under threat from Aku's robots
>Jack learns something from the culture and uses it with his own skills to save them

This new season is actually the most focused on Jack with all his introspective insanity and watching him through Ashi's eyes.

>WAHHHH THERE'S A GIRL IN MY TOONS

They have to focus on Ashi so that it makes sense when Jack goes berserk and loses himself after she gets killed

If it makes you feel better OP I've waited 15 years for Shenmue III and I already know it's not gonna end with Ryo finally fighting Lan Di.

>>91590219
This argument is retarded because lack of jack or not has no bearing on quality of the show, plus it's blatantly wrong as everyone else has pointed out, but the best episodes of Samurai Jack pre-season 5 focused on other characters.
>Scotsman saves jack
>Tale of X-9
>Jack and the Bounty Hunters
And even in other episodes like Jump Good and Jack and the Monks, the best parts of those are jack interacting with the people he meets. Jack is great but what's great about jack is the way he influences people, or becomes an incredible barrier for them to overcome. He's a mythic legend that inspires hope in an Aku blasted world and Ashi personifies that to it's full extent. That's what the show as been about since the beginning.

Because it's funny.

Ashi's clothes are literally skin tight spandex anyway.

I think what people are upset about is that we had 10 episodes to finish the series. We're halfway through and the only thing that's happened is that Jack accepted he had to kill humans.
The first five episodes have been completely focused on the daughters of Aku.

You only retained one thing from these 5 episodes and that one thing isn't even right. You were either not paying attention or are simply retarded.

>>91590943
>funny
Wat? He goes through a bunch of brutal fight scenes where his clothes get ripped from his body every single time and you think that's supposed to be funny?

>>91590219
Jack is literally focus of every episode.

Even next episode will be about Ashi finding Jack.

>>91591029
Yeh, it is pretty funny how he's been stripped off his clothes practically every episode.

I also like that practically every episode Jack loses and gets new weapons, either signifying how he can't fill the whole left by the sword, or hinting that he can accomplish anything he wants without it.

>>91591091
The past few episodes have just featured some brutal fighting. He's not going to be able to keep weapons that keep getting destroyed.

I hate Ashi because tara strong is fucking awful. As a cahracter I couldnt care less, but Tara Strong deserves no work and for the balloons she hides in her shirt to pop

>>91591186
You sound like a mature and well rounded individual

>>91591158
You mean every episode.

He loses literally everything, bike, spear, armor in second episode.

>>91591244
He's lost everything one time really, it's just this season is a continuous series of events equivalent to a 5 hour movie.

Screencap this.

>>91591211
at least Im honest

>Ashi can hear a child-mind controlling frequency when Jack can't
so does this mean Ashi confirmed underaged?

>>91590133
The whole point of the second half of this episode was for her to see those mind controlled kids and realised she'd been brain washed too. I thought it was a little too in your face but with with all the empty headed retards like you about I guess why they did it that way

>>91589777
Ashi is a wonderful character, and if you dedicate too much time to Aku the finale would happen faster.

>>91591477
nah, it just means she's not 25.

>>91589847
>There's no Ashi subplot.

Well I wouldn't go that far. Ashi clearly has her own arc that parallels Jack's, and his is part of one of the B-plots regarding the cult - which has been hinted will be discovered by Aku, which is likely also leading to High Priestess being a secondary antagonist and Ashi confronting her mother while Jack faces Aku.

However it's clear Ashi's main purpose is to be a supporting character who serves as a lead-in to Jack resolving his conflicts. So far she's mostly been there to give someone to talk to rather than stay in his suicidal head space, and the next episode it seems like she'll be a lead in to answer the "Where are they now" questions surrounding the other characters Jack's helped in his travels as a reminder of the hero Jack used to be.

I do to an extent get the concerns that they've maybe dedicated a little too much screen time after seeing Jack's adventures were mostly solo, but I would say that doesn't outweigh her purpose in the story and I highly doubt the next episode will be mostly Ashi rather than an even split between her and Jack.

Ashi will replace Jack in the story. Jack will die, Ashi will continue his legacy.

>>91591737
Samurai Ashi spinoff CONFIRMED?

>>91589991
everything can sound retarded when you oversimplify it. fuck you.

>>91591477
No
it just means she's part monkey

>>91591987

Nope. Jack will either die, or just plain refuse to fight. Ashi will take up the sword and finish it for him. Then all the aging that hasn't happened, will happen at once (like the viking golem guy) and Jack will die, re-united with his ancestors and friends

Fuck off /co/mblr. If it was a poorly voice-acted cowboy named Hank, I'd be no less annoyed about some low quality literally who taking up all of the limited screen time, especially with pacing like ep 5's showing just how precious that time is. The only negative impact her being female could have is Genndy going for an unnecessary romance angle, which feels likely given that's what she was in SJ's kiddy dreams source material.

>>91591477
she has to be around 16-17 in my opinion.

And it's true, because all the episodes that give a different point of view to the story are absolute kino

Can't be the only one that's getting a bit dissapointed in how they're portraying Aku.
Jokes and lightheartedness is fine but i was hoping more Birth of Evil and instead we get this weird middle ground.

>Jack is also being haunted by the Japanese demon that drags people to Hell for failure
>the battle continues, and Jack kills one of the Daughters, shocked by the fact that she's human, as he's never killed a human before and assumed they were just robots
>Jack is gravely injured in the fight
>Jack recovers with a wolf in a cave and we are given a look back into his childhood where he learns from his father that killing should be avoided at all costs, but if the person is threatening you or your family, and there's no way out, you give them one final chance.
