>>91775826
Jack taught him a lesson in humility and he took over taking care of the bar of the guy he embarrassed.

It's not the most glamorous ending, but it's nice in a subtle way.

>>91775903
>Jack just kicked his ass
Jack teached him being a samurai wasn't about being a showoff, him taking the bullet for jack was the start of his path, look here at 17:25

>You have taken your first path in the way of the samurai.

It's really fucking implied da samurai was gonna become the real one sooner or later

>>91775826

It's been 50 years, maybe he was a badass during that time but then old age hit and he retired to bar tending.

>>91775826
For all we know he might have become a samurai then retired to run the bar.

He'll show up with the rest of the army to battle Aku, dusting off his katana.

>>91776140
He says he hung his sword inmediately after fighting jack

>>91776196
"Shortly," actually.

>>91776196
That just means his bbsamoorye was bigger than tiny yellow kunai

>>91776077
'the way of the samurai' you speak of only exists in your head. don't be mad that your misinterpreted the scene

I'm actually way more bothered by demongo showing up, aku fucking killed him

>>91775826
He found a happiness doing simple job. I think it's great lesson for viewers.

>>91775826
Jack's practically like the only living samurai at the time, so Da Samurai actually becoming one may have been a bit of a stretch
I don't mind all that much that he settled down into the bar where they first met
come to think of it, considering how much he initially bullied the previous owner I wonder how that eventually turned out

He became a samurai to show off and look like a bad ass. Once he realised how different this lifestyle is, he decided to change his life to the one he preffered.

>>91780299
Thanks for the lame excuse.
It's still shit writing though.

Let's be honest. If Jack hadn't knocked his ego down a peg, Da Samoorai would probably have stepped on the wrong toes and gotten himself killed.

>>91776108
He literally says he gave up and started bartending after Jack humbled him and showed him the real way being a Samurai

>>91775826
Some can pull it off, others don't. Nigger-san's wake up call was to realize (sooner or later) he wasn't meant to follow the path of the samurai.

>>91775826
Judging by Scotsman's speech in episode 5 about how they were going to raise a bigger army, I think the characters we've seen today will be called for the final battle.

>>91781962
Dude, compared to a turd sandwich it'll also get good ratings. Modern cartoons are shit, doesn't mean SJ has to stoop to that level (as it sadly has)

>>91782023
Probably not but we'll see

>>91782057

It's been all but implied by those archers who said they'll be there if the samurai needs them.

>>91782028
Where did it got to that level for you? This last episode wasn't very good compared to the initial ones admittedly.

>>91781943
You mean the episode after the shitshow of R&M's "prank"?

Believe me, plenty of people were upset, and I mean, no offense to any AS fan, but they fucked up big time.

Also, the fact that the ratings dropped HARD even during that event show that AS really messed up.

>>91782028
Oi, dude, take it easy, the episode was pretty much a love letter to all the older seasons, it was more than ok.

Also, at least it finally made people understand that this is it, the end of the road for REAL to Jack's journey.

50 years have passed and these guys are still in the same bar moping/showing off they got beaten by Jack.

Losers.

>>91782137
It dropped slightly, but it's a sign of things to come. All the previous episodes were above 1.30, this one came in just below that for the first time. You can look it up on Wikipedia, anon.

>>91782544
I want to give komasan headpats

>>91782854
It's still bad writing out-of-universe. An in-universe explanation doesn't negate that.

>>91782231
This would actually be cool,Jack wakes up before Ashi and is able to get away, and theres a period of Ashi searching for Jack alone with the intent to kill him instead of immediately having them paired together. She learns how much good the Samurai has done by visting these places and then, when she fights all the different characters from the original episode, she gets her perfectly shaped ass kicked. She learns the hard way that people taught by Jack for what could be at most a week are better people and better fighters than someone taught in the ways of Aku for their entire life.

Like when she sees all the statues and monuments dedicated to Jack it creates a parallel with the statue of Aku that loomed over her as a child.

>>91782872
>Following the in-universe rules to their natural conclusion is bad writing
In what freak dimension?

>>91783246
>almost everyone Ashi meets has been saved by Jack
>she's pissed off every single one by threatening to kill him and get told to fuck off
>slowly realizes that Jack is not evil after all and she has been lied to her whole life
This would have been much better pacing

>>91783246
That would have been a much better way to handle the show. Probably could have been done in the same amount of episodes as well. Well fuck, the fact that this didn't happen is going to bother me forever

Bravo Genndy

I mean they said in the episode that samurai jack killed his soul. He murdered his inner nigga and he became white and full of shame realizing that he was living a foolish childish dream who just wanted to be the center of attention.

The way of the samurai is being serious, humble, not boasting, or a total tool. All the things he was and when he realized he couldn't be those things and a samurai without being a big fat fraud he died inside.

If you really expected him to become a samurai with no fucking training, and one lesson from samurai jack you are pretty fucking stupid.

There was no one to teach him the way of the samurai.
He could train alone all he wanted he would have never become a true samurai unless he had someone like Jack to help him out.
But yeah it made me really sad to know he was just a bartender ;_;

I think it's more that he got so much humility beaten into him that he realized that he could settle for a simple life instead of trying to gain fame and glory.

There's nothing boring about being a bartender. It's actually a risky job, especially when dealing with unruly customers. Since he lives in Aku's world, dude can get away with killing in self defense, battery and assault on a unruly patron without worried about being sued. He could even sleep with hot alien chicks.

Can't actually make a living being a samurai. Real life samurai just inherited money and were aristocrats who got $$$ for nothing.

So did none of the people question why 50 years after being saved, Jack is still alive and samurai-ing? Or is it just general knowledge that he's immortal (kinda like how the kid in Jack's Sandals knew about his quest for a time portal)?
