Has anyone ever asked Jack his actual name?

It's a rather unique charm and adds to the 'high action low dialogue' stuff. Since when people are talking they tend to call them by their name, refer to their name and such.

JOHN. Hey JOHN. Over here, JOHN. Etc.

I don't think they'll ever refer to his name but even if they do, it wouldn't really have much of an impact. Maybe it'll get revealed at the last part and Jack will point out how he used the name 'Jack' as simply a cover for his true identity. Plus, in the old times people believed you can be cursed using your own name, so there's also that.

>n the old times people believed you can be cursed using your own name

I'm open minded but skeptical

>>91638122
He killed a lot of people for Aku and he was going to kill Jack over a fucking dog. He's an evil machine anon, accept it.

Atta boy X9. Sure living the paladin life style.

>>91638451
X9 was more of a True Neutral by the time he died.

Does Aku even know the Emperor or Jack's real names?

>>91639599
Probably not

>>91638207
The use of names as a component of magical rituals can be found in pretty much every single culture.

>a huge plot point is that aku doesn't know jack has lost his sword, believing he still is a threat
>jack lost his sword before he grown the beard
>however aku notes that he "grown a stupid beard"

People are still inspired by Jack's actions. Word got around that he grew a beard and it eventually made its way to Aku

>>91635104
Jack never bothered about the names, except those who are important to him, like Aku. But I assume he finally ask her that.

Kek.

I kekd.

The show is called Samurai JACK not Samurai Ashi.

>>91640820
Shinobi Aishi spinoff when?

>>91640820
So because one episode is going to be focused on her (not completely, mind you), you think she's taking over?

>>91640820
>implying Ashi won't start introducing herself as Jack after he dies banishing Aku

>jack? Why does she call you this mako?

>>91640900
I'd rather Jack's name never be revealed. Or when it does, it's something like this.
>You know, I never got your name.
>Ashi... It's Ashi.
>Ah, I see. Well, thank you, Ashi.
>And what is yours? Don't tell me 'Samurai Jack' is your real name?
>Hahah, no. It is actually--
>WATCHA

>>91636737
I don't get it
Its been a looooooong long time since I watched the original show

>>91638207
There are many pacific island cultures where you can't use the name of someone who recently died, in some you can't even use words that sound like the name of the person who died.

Pretty much this >>91639835

Very popular in ancient Egypt, where people had a public name and a secret name, and where Isis took control of Ra by forcing him to tell her his real name

>>91641209
>thinks

>>91640869
4 episodes have been focused on her more than Jack.

Yoooooo, this sounds like the coolest shit not adapted into animation. Especially the Egyptian aspects.
