The Daughters weren't even his idea. It'd be kind of poetic if one of the ripple effects of his evil influence on the world ended up doing him in, but really any ending where Jack isn't the one who kills Aku is not going to go over well in any way.

Jack WAS able to defeat Aku, but now cannot because he has killed

Ashi however, has not killed anyone.

This, sadly. They're pushing Ashi real hard and all the samurai tropes are being fulfilled. Jack's old, he's not as good as he used to be, he even lost his damn sword. The Scotsman was killed off, too. Jack's going to die or retire and Ashi will take over. I can only hope Jack's character will be preserved and it will be a student/teacher relationship. If Jack and Ashi fall in love then Genndy's a fucking hack.

I think I know where it's going. It's going to be somewhat similar to how the official non-canon comic ended the story, at least in concept: Jack amasses an army to take out Aku once and for all. The twist is that Jack has lost all hope, and it's up to his allies, including Ashi, to help Jack get his groove back, as he's the only one that can lead them to victory.

Genndy probably said Episode 5-6 because Scotsman basically said they would regroup to find Jack, and Episode 6 looks like it'll be Ashi meeting up with a bunch of characters from previous seasons in her search for Jack, with the end being her convincing him to not kill himself.

By the end of Episode 8 Jack will be back to his former glory, and by the end of Episode 9 he'll have the sword back. Then Episode 10 is where it all goes down.

I think it's a pretty good way to go about it, now that it's become clear. Jack instilled hope in a dystopian world, and now that world must instill hope in him.

These cunts are literally never going to be happy. I doubt half of them even have an ideal ending in mind, and if they do, they'll get their panties in a bunch over some minute detail that didn't go EXACTLY their way and trash the whole season. And then there are the adult virgins who already wrote off the season because they can't handle the fact that Genndy introduced a female character because they hate women and/or want Jack to be as lonely and miserable as themselves. You can tell because they spew bullshit excuses about the focus not being 100% on Jack (happened very often in the earlier seasons), she's a Mary Sue (far less strong than Jack and probably not as strong as Scotsman, clearly has some personality flaws), she was shoehorned in (Scotsman was considered a major character after only a couple of episodes), why did it have to be a female (why does a major character have to be male? and SJ has had plenty of female characters), etc. The miserable denizens of this board are desperately searching for reasons to be mad.

>>91691919
Probably 8 or 9.

I'm thinking the second half of the season goes like this:
>Episode 6
Ashi travels through various locations, learning about Jack's adventures from a bunch of characters from the previous seasons, then finds him right before he kills himself and convinces him to not go through with it.
>Episode 7
Uncertain what happens here exactly, probably setup for the last 3 episodes, however they go about it. Jack & Ashi retracing steps to find The Sword, Scotsman's Daughters searching for Jack, Aku deciding to send some feelers out about what the Samurai is up to, whatever.
>Episode 8
Jack & Ashi meet up with the Scotsman's Ghost and his daughters and the army they've been building. They find a lead to get the Sword back, around the same time Aku learns Jack has lost it. Then it's a mad dash to get the sword before Aku reaches them.
>Episode 9
Rallying up the armies on either side, preparing for the final battle, with Jack finally returning to his former self by the end of the episode. Climax of this will probably be the end of Ghost Conscience Jack right before they charge into battle.
>Episode 10
Animation Budget runs wild and we get a definitive conclusion.

I'm pretty excited.

>>91687142
Are you an idiot, anon? It's already been more than an hour's worth of episode time. How is that not enough time to develop someone's character?

As much as /co/ is a place for idiots to spout their retarded opinions, it's also a place to insult and demean them as well. It's just that, it feels better when you use actual logic to do so.

Ashi: Glad you could make it, Jack!
Jack: Watch your tone with me, girl! You may be independent, but I’m still superior as a father.
Ashi: As if I could forget. Listen, Jack, there is something about Aku you should know... Oh no, it’s too late! This place may look fine now, but it’s just a matter of time before mercenaries come.
Jack: What?
Ashi: The sudoku must be commited.
Jack: How can you even consider that? There's got to be some other way.
Ashi: Damn it, Jack. As the your loving daughter, I order you to commit sudoku.
Jack: You are not the master yet, girl. Nor would I obey that command even if you were!
Ashi: Then I must consider this an act of ignorance.
Jack: Ignorance? Have you lost your mind, Ashi?
Ashi: Have I? Jack, by my right of succession and sovereignty of this empire, I hereby relieve you from your command and leave.
Scotsman: Ashi, you can't just...

If Jack's waifu sidekick is the one that kills Aku I'd be disappointed

This is (just in my opinion) a matter between Jack and and Aku and a 1v1 battle suits a silent protag like Jack, not to mention how rewarding that would feel after all these years of buildup

>>91692055
This sounds pretty accurate.

Predictions about what happens the rest of the season based on episode descriptions:
> Episode 6: Ashi searches for Jack and encounters places and people he's saved before. Seeing the hero he really is, she convinces him not to commit seppuku when she finds him (the Horseman is somehow involved; she helps Jack fight his inner demons). As Ashi misses Jack, she starts to develop feelings for Jack.
> Episode 7: With Jack's confidence back, Jack and Ashi do a bunch of spiritual and mental tests to recover Jack's sword. Jack and Ashi develop a relationship with each other (I believe Genndy could portray this in a good way).
> Episode 8: Jack and Ashi's growing relationship is temporally put to a halt when they are hunted by one of the strongest creatures in the galaxy; The Scotsman prepares his army.
> Episodes 9 & 10: The High Priestess teams up with Aku (she knows Ashi very well and Ashi having a relationship with Jack could be Jack's weakness). The Scotsman's new army attack Aku's lair, this distracts Aku allowing Jack and Ashi to enter. Sometime during the battle Ashi must trust her indoctrination from her mother or trust Jack; the ultimate test. Jack manages to kill Aku, but then dies due to his immortality being linked to Aku's time travel. Ashi inherits Jack's sword and white robe and Jack will be remembered as a king by Earth and Ashi and the Scotsman's army help rebuild a better future. Jack being dead lets him reunite with his ancestors in peace. The Guardian of the Time Portal makes a cameo, but his time portal was destroyed by Aku sometime ago. The prophecy that did come true is Jack becoming King.

He never gets back to the past, but he learns to live with the future that is no longer Aku.

>>91693620

I have a better one.

Jack will not use the last remaining time portal - the one that not even Aku could use - but he will be there to see off the person who will: Ashi. Rather than seeing her live out her days in a world still stained by Aku's omnipresent evil, Jack will send her into the past so she can kill Aku and end Jack's existence (by way of erasing Aku's presence in the future). Jack's misery, Aku's oppressive reign, and Ashi's life in a wretched hellscape will all come to an end.

>>91693426

I was hoping he'd just waste 1 episode and a half acting as the broken punished samurai.

Instead we overextend it to 6 episodes when we only have a total of 13.

Now if season 5 was 26-34 episodes long then yeah I wouldn't have cared. But they're eating good screen time for little results.

It's when you go blindly go in 1 direction and end up not realizing that you just ate 90% of the content and appeal of your original idea. When you open your eyes and say "Oops that came out wrong".
It's something I've constantly been pondering about and trying to dodge as a writer myself.

Gendy didn't take responsibility as a writer. Mostly because he's used to episodic stuff with zero storytelling and 100% show don't tell.

See, this anon gets it. And let me expand on the contextual point.

We expect Samurai Jack in his young prime with a sword (like the teaser shown us)
Instead we get punished Jack, depressed Jack, hopeless Jack... for 6 episodes instead of 1.

We hear like 2 words out of Baldwin when talking to the phone to the robot in episode 1. We don't judge the cover of the book and awaited to see Greg's real performance.
I expected Greg Baldwin to mimick Mako's voice just as decently as he did for Iroh in The Last Airbender. I genuinely didn't notice the voice changes between S1 S2 and S3 for Uncle Iroh.


Now I genuinely want to take Samurai Jack and still promote it around as "This is how you done a correct continuation of an old series/reboot. This is how you profit off nostalgia without ruining the original source material" like Star Wars, Tron Legacy, Legend of Korra, Thundercats, Teen Titans Go, The Powerpuff Girls kept disappointing us time and time again in the 2010's decade era of reboots.

What would be the point if it was only around for one episode?

I don't care how it ends so long as Jack get's with the Scottsman's thick ass daughters. The one with the long red hair, fur cape, and plaid dress preferably.

You're still advocating that Jack just go right back to his normal self in the span of 1 episode.
This is irrevocably stupid and poor story telling. Maybe you should reconsider being a writer if you want the series to open up with broken jack and then just revert him right back to the status quo .

I'm not falling for this, Satan.

Gendy gets to time skip 50 years.
15-18 years pass with no indication when the daughters of Aku are born.
Jack gets to heal together with the white wolf for 10 minutes.

But suddenly asking for more condensation and a dynamic storyline which doesn't linger on 1 idea is somehow bad?

>>91696765
It's supposed to be a major characterization change, that isn't something you just toss out after the span of one episode. The kind of thing you're asking for negatively effects the show, doing it for one episode is worse than doing it for all of them. It would just make the one episode feel like pointless filler, are you retarded?

>>91696734
I assume Jack might eventually shave off his beard. Might even be at the end of next episode after he finally comes face to face with the horseman. Maybe the sight of clean shaven Jack causes Ashi to make this face >>91696519.

Mr. Tartavosky I'm already a depressed suicidal failure.
You don't need to remind me in the year 2017 how bad things are through a depressed Jack who feels like all his efforts are in vain. Jack was suppose to be a source of hope in this darkness.

Jack and the Aku infested world only makes me look in the mirror at myself and my own world.

When that involves the main character suddenly getting over their suicidal, hopeless thoughts? Yeah? Getting over your flaws in such a small amount of time is, again, a bad decision . You're asking for Jack to have a series of hallucinations in the first episode that never get brought up again. Dumb.

>Jack gets to heal together with the white wolf for 10 minutes.
bruh, it was a dagger wound, not a psychological disorder.

You have Jack clearly worn out from the shit he's been dealing with in the first episode, sees the burning village, and ignores it. This relays that he's essentially given up. Now, with the introduction of this new band of assassins, he's left facing a challenge unlike ever before, one that accumulates in him feeling an immensity of guilt after having slaughtered them. With but only one of them remaining, he tries to at least make this one understand the plight that has befallen the land, and is somewhat successful in doing so, yet in the end, he is pushed into the abyss, as we now see in the last episode.
Christ. I get some people are bad with change, but this is sophistry.

I hope when Jack recovers we get this kind of emotional victory sequence up to 11 and twice as long than Jack's beard.

This kind of backstory episode is non existent in cartoons. It's absolute kinography.

Read up on 'want versus need' in literature and film writing.

The basic concept in any well written character arc is that the character grows and develops and ultimately their motivation transitions from pursuing what they want (the thing that drives the plot forward) to what they need (the thing that will help them complete their growth as a character). The catharsis we as the audience get out of a good character arc is that moment when they finally let go of their 'want' to embrace their 'need'. For example:

>Up
>Carl *wants* to bring his house to Paradise Falls. He *needs* to let the house (and Ellie's death) go.
>The catharsis comes from seeing Carl literally unburdening himself of all his stuff, and eventually choosing to let go of the house to save Russel, Kevin, and Dug.

Jack wants to return to the past and undo the future that is Aku and he travels a strange new world righting wrongs and battling injustice in the pursuit of that goal, slowly but surely embracing his role as a force for justice and positive change in the future. What Jack *wants* is to save the past. What Jack *needs* is to save the future.

>>91691897
>I think it's a pretty good way to go about it, now that it's become clear. Jack instilled hope in a dystopian world, and now that world must instill hope in him.
But anon, that's literally just Aku's Infection...

Jack is going to go back to the past, and pass the torch onto Ashi to protect the new future.

Pretty obvious desu.

>>91698121
This.

I guarantee you, if Jack survives the final fight with Aku, there will be a moment where Jack has a chance to go back to the past, and he will choose to stay.

UMM ANON THAT'S SO SEXIST!!! HOW DARE YOU POINT OUT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE TWO SEXES? OMFG....

>>91696740
I wasn't the one advocating for that, I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy of saying that going fast in one respect (eg having Jack go back to normal in 2 episodes) is seen as bad while something which should have had a larger build-up (eg Scotsman's death) was rushed and is seen as a-okay because "muh 10-episodes." Let me guess, it's fine because "at least it's not status quo" right? Well old Scotsman wouldn't have been status quo either. Would've been better to see how he's changed.

>>91699146
Jesus anon , cmon. Hard to even compare those two.

Jack's the titular character so overcoming his flaws *needs* to be a slow burn. Some people like (you) don't like that, sure, but it's a much better alternative to rushing through and going "lol he's over that now back to the same shit from the last 4 seasons". Rushing character development is fucking stupid and you should never do that.
I can guarantee you people would find it stupid if Jack went back to normal after 2 episodes. My advice: suck it up and just wait for the next episode since you loathe Forsaken Jack as this thread has shown. It'll all come to a climax soon enough

as for Scotsman , though we all love him, isn't exactly the main person in the spotlight. Hell, they could not even have brought him back at all were this the darkest timeline. If anything, the death allowed for him to return to his prime. Rather that then Jack see him as an old crippled geezer .

>Would've been better to see how he's changed.
Had AS allowed them more then 10 episodes I'm sure we could have seen him appear a bit more before getting killed. Alas, DeMarco will be Demarco.

>>91686840
Hell, GET IN

>>91699360
>Had AS allowed them more then 10 episodes I'm sure we could have seen him appear a bit more before getting killed. Alas, DeMarco will be Demarco.
Or they could maybe have less screen time for Ashi. People say that she's not shoehorned and all that, but she has had literally nearly full 5 episodes mostly focusing on her and the Scotsman didn't even have 3min before he died.

>>91699439
Oh I know man,
Jacks development is one thing, Ashi is an entirely different story.
I've got my own doubts but I'm willing to hold my tongue and see it through to the end and judge it as such.

The series feels like it needs to be watched all together like a movie at this point quite honestly. Especially with the cliffhanger endings which manage to blueball me every time.

>>91688802
Compared to you, though, they're like the world's most interesting guy.
