This is... terrible.

As soon as I saw this, I just KNEW /co/ was gonna bitch about it.

yeah i mean at least when Jack rekts 100 of dudes, he had his sword for all those times. She just uses her HANDS

>>91981694
Have you watched the first 4 seasons, you retard?

>>91981846
Yes, and this is still bad. The first fight Jack had with an entire army took two full half-hour episodes, not two minutes. And he used a sword. And he barely made it out alive.

Also, the first four seasons were primarily episodic and occasionally comedic. The only time he took out an army in a second was the robots in sneakers from the duel episode, and that was used as a gag.

Season 5 is continuous and intended for mature audiences, I expect more than "literal handwaving takes out an entire army in seconds".

>>91981694

t.bh Jack wasn't that powerful in the first season. By the fourth one, he could take out armies with ease. I am also sure that Jack was much older when he started his training, compared to Ashi. His training wasn't as intense either.

Actually, it was like 8 minutes of third episode.

The entire point was that Jack is so badass he instilled fear in drones specifically designed for slaughter and was playing them like a goddamn fiddle.

Also, sword isn't really known for being anything special except for being durable and being able to harm Aku.

>people will defend this scene

Samurai jack dtopped on quality after episode 3

>>91981694
It was because she never used strategy.

Remember when Jack was outnumbered in episiode 2/3? How he had to use the terrain to his advantage and use stealth and sudden and fast bouts to gain the advantage? Remember how he had to use a variety of arsenal to beat a freaking mook army in episode 1? He didn't just rely on one weapon, he mixed it up to make it work?

I'm not going to say this was mary sue or waifu wank or anything like that, I'm saying it's bad because it's freaking BORING. Seriously? She just pushes them? What, did the ones in the side bounce off the wall like rubber balls? She just grabs their spears and breaks it? Come on, give us some strategy. Show some character development by showing how she LEARNED from Jack during the bout in the snow and later inside the monster. Show her really thinking and pulling off cool moves, not wanna-be bullshit. We don't need to know if she's strong physically, we need to see her be a character.

Be cool damn it.

Jack at least took battle damage but not this Mary-Sue

>>91982514
in samurai jack, power = strength

powerful characters can perform large feats of strenght. there is an episode where jack has to toss a large stone as far as he can to pass a test, but he can't throw it very far. then he throws an even larger, heavier man over his shoulder, sending him flying much further than the rock. the point is that strenght isn't how big your muscles are, it's how well trained and adept you are at combat (at least in samurai jack universe)

so it makes perfect sense ashi can steamroll an entire army, she is THAT strong.

You don't actually know what handwaving is.

Handwaving is when the authors go, "Ehhh a wizard did it, I dunno."

Ashi being able to defeat an entire army of mooks is, in no way, surprising, unexpected, or difficult to believe in-world. Ashi and Jack are epic-level player characters. Normies are nothing to them. This is not news. It is not handwaving when the writers show how powerful either of them are.

You still aren't getting it. Jack has done the exact same thing Ashi has, defeating an absolutely ridiculous number of enemies singlehandedly.

Jack has many, many episodes where he just "DBZs through" (your words) enemies because he's better than them. For some reason you don't like it when Ashi does the exact same thing.

I'm starting to enjoy the butt hurt fans are going through than the actual show.

>>91983674

Jack has never defeated an entire army of thousands by grabbing one of them and running through the rest of them. When he went up against the army of beetle robots he had to actually use his sword and also got horribly beat up and spent a very long time destroying them.

The people who defend this shit are gold-medal mental gymnasts.

The problem with that scene is that we never established Ashi to have demonic strenght or adamantium bones. Her skinny arms should have break when she just was trying to push 2 heavy orcs forward, not to mention entire horde. This scene just felt out of place, like suddenly Oolong defeating Vegeta.

I'm sorry that Ashi being an epic-level character like Jack bothers you so much. The fact is she was trained from childhood, like Jack, to be a warrior who can beat enormous odds in battle.

Jack can take on legions of enemies by himself. So can Ashi. If that makes you uncomfortable, you probably have some issues to work out.

Jack has better feats of strength. In this season alone he lifted a giant boulder and used it to shatter scaramouche's boulder. And his training for jumping good surpasses anything Ashi has done. Most importantly: Jack has beaten Ashi, rather easily. Anything she can do, he can do better.

That's not beating enormous odds. There are zero odds a small girl without superpowers can kill an entire army of orcs by running at them barehanded. Now if she had superpowers that'd be fine, but they had her sisters dying normal human deaths with just blood coming out of them and nothing demonic happening, so it seems like the show's actually saying she did all this as a literal powerless girl.

Venting isn't the problem. It's the disturbing lack of ability to deal with the fact that a character was able to handily defeat a legion of mook opponents just like Jack can.

>sh-she should've gotten hurt more!

I agree, but that doesn't make the scene terrible. Jack has had countless interactions with opponents who never even touched him.

>>91981923
Ashi has trained since infancy. Jack trained since he was like 10 years old. After 50 years, it's not really much to him. Also that fight was going on for several hours.

Do you think a guy with a sword could defeat this?

>>91984080
Pushing a fraction of the army off the ledge was pretty ingenious on her part. Afterwards, admittedly, it's sloppy, but that never bothered me. Weaponless Ashi is just a rabid dog without a leash. Just because her personality has changed doesn't mean what she's learned has

>>91984049

>They're not exactly the same

They're completely different. Here, read this anon's post again, I'm getting tired of trying to explain this to you myself:

>>91981923

>The first fight Jack had with an entire army took two full half-hour episodes, not two minutes. And he used a sword. And he barely made it out alive.

>>91984107
What do you expect? Naruto run?

>>91984153
With prep time, a shit load of traps and help?
Of course.

>>91983809
>Jack traveled the world learning from a variety of cultures. Ashi ran a single obstacle course repeatedly

The "Ashi only ran a single obstacle course" meme needs to stop. It's specious reasoning at best. If you think the cult who raises people from birth to fight Jack didn't think to switch up the obstacle course from time to time, I think you're actively trying to dislike the character.

>That's not beating enormous odds. There are zero odds a small girl without superpowers can kill an entire army of orcs by running at them barehanded.

You're retarded. You say "there are zero odds a small girl without superpowers...", but that's not what Ashi is. Ashi is an epic-level character, like Jack, who can handily face odds that few others can handle. She's not as good as Jack, but you could be 65% as good as Jack and still lay waste to an entire army the way she did. This isn't hard to understand.

>>91984153
Yeah with the help of giant traps and explosives.

>>91984183
Nothing that was described makes them "completely different".

Ashi ran through a bunch of mooks without getting hurt. Jack ran through a bunch of mooks and got hurt while doing it.

The "one took this many episodes but this one took only this many" argument is moot, because there are obvious time skips in both episodes to account for how long the battles last. Ashi's battle took hours, not minutes, as evidenced by the time of day changing as the scene went on.

>>91984045
The sword can't harm innocents only in the hands of evil

>>91984230
>b-b-but she's not SUPPOSED to take an entire army single handedly

>>91982512
>Could that be because it's objectively terrible?
No, it was fucking awesome and kicking ass.

There is zero valid reason to complain about it.

>>91982532
this was because they don't want to take her clothes off. but it still doesn't excuse how ridiculous the fight sequence was. After seeing the plowing part I literally had the Ikra episode flashbacks and thought she would turn into some demon or Aku or something.

>>91982096
>>91982166
>>91982978
Same, expected her to crush most of them with boulders or some shit but nope, she just kills them all with her bare hands. Oh well.

>>91984230

>an epic-level character

That isn't an actual description that means anything. What specifically are you talking about?

>65% as good

Except she did what would take Jack multiple episodes, lots of strategy and careful execution of traps and allocation of his limited energy and resources, and 99% of his body's ability to continue being alive, by running through thousands of them barehanded in a couple seconds.

>>91983538
>Yeah but I really hate the "one little girl vs tons of well armed, trained dudes and she wins" trope
NO, FUCK YOU NO

If you are going to complain about a trope in a show, at least make sure it apply and it deosn't. She isn't a little girl, she is a mother fucking assasin who trained her whole life to beat the greatest warrior.

If you don't like the "one-man army" trope, then You shouldn't be watching Samurai Jack in the first place.

>>91984464

That was a joke you retard.

>>91984369
>That isn't an actual description that means anything. What specifically are you talking about?

It's a term in tabletop RPGs for characters who have reached a level (in D&D 3.5, around level 10-12) such that they can handily and consistently dispatch normies without effort. Henchmen don't even appear on their radar. Ashi and Jack are epic-level characters in every sense of the word. They've trained extensively and gained a certain level of immunity when dealing with weaklings.

>Except she did what would take Jack multiple episodes, lots of strategy and careful execution of traps and allocation of his limited energy and resources, and 99% of his body's ability to continue being alive, by running through thousands of them barehanded in a couple seconds.

You don't know how Jack would've handled it in another episode. If the roles had been reversed (Jack needing to protect someone who is defenseless as an army approaches), he would have done exactly what Ashi did, and fought them head-on because there is no other option.

Ultimately you're just unhappy because Ashi and Jack handle fighting large volumes of enemies differently. It's very strange.

>>91982438
>>91982518
She actually used the narrowness of the climbing path and gravity. She wasn't climbing, but descending. Gravity helped her way out.

And it looked fucking cool.

Jack didn't always make traps for armies. You just love traps for feminine cocks, /co/.

I found the army fight a little disappointing. No, it didn't ruin the ep, and it served the story well enough (though the animation was ehhh at times). But one of the best parts of SJ to me was that they tried to incorporate better fight choreography for a lot of the big sequences, even bringing in martial arts consultants to use real-world techniques where appropriate.

No, not every fight needs to be like that. But when I saw a pile of human-ish soldiers advancing on Ashi up a narrow path I was thinking 'fuck yeah perfect opportunity for some detailed choreography and asymmetric tactics'.

Didn't happen - they took the different but equally valid path of demonstrating Ashi's overwhelming will to protect Jack against any odds. They focused more on character than on action. That's ok, just not what I personally wanted.

Ashi isn't a joke character. The Scotsman's wife is. If you want to make Ashi a joke character she should be big and fat and also have no relevance to the main plot.

I'm willing to suspend disbelief but it got too ridiculous with this scene. Only because I think it diminishes the quality of the action too. One man army scenes are cheap.

Two, you're trying too hard. People are arguing because it's easy and fun at this point, not because anyone's actually convinced you're an actual /pol/tard.

>>91982264
Yeah but if she could take out an army with her bare hands like that there is no way that Jack should have been able to beat her let alone seven of her.

Hence Why Ashi kept her hold of the orc.

>>91985515
>>91985562

that's the entire argument you gravitytards, she wasn't using gravity because that's not how pushing stuff on a curved road using gravity works. And she can't be strong enough to push them singlehandedly.

>people are actually defending this garbage

If Ashi didn't exist in the show, it would be much more better and these threads would be absolute harmony. Ashi was the worse thing to happen to samurai jack.

I can't really think of a show that was doing good until they hamfisted terrible characters and rined everything right now, but its a shame I got to add Samurai jack to it.

>>91983449
Those two scenes are very fifferent cases, Jack there has to dodge their attacks since they still pose a potential threat, Ashi just fucking tanks an entire army while constantly moving forward crushing like a freight train.

>>91985589
You can pick up more moment running down hill.

>>91985589
Oh I'm sorry, I forgot the fact Ashi was inhumanly durable and strong enough to fucking PIERCE HER MOTHER ALMOST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITH A SINGLE ARROW, THROWN AT MODERATE SPEEDS.

>>91982514
>It was ridiculous. A huge orc should be able to push back a skinny teen girl.

Are you forgetting that this is a world where kung fu training lets you toss boulders, leap dozens of meters into the air, punch someone hard enough to send them cartwheeling fifty feet, and shatter fucking stone with your bare hands? Ashi's done all that shit before, and Jack has done more. This was just a realistic depiction of what that absurd level of strength would actually look like if you pitted someone that strong against a bunch of (relative) normies: the super strong person could literally just run through the normies. In that regard it was actually a good scene.

>>91983485
They are both sues but in that one scene at least Ashi went to a level even beyond a sue or a sue 2.

>>91981923
>used as a gag

So was Ashi wiping out these mooks. It was the juxtaposition back between Jack's spiritual journey and Ashi slaughtering an army for a day or so. That's why she just pushed most of them off the cliff. These aren't murder bots or any of that shit, it's just some shitty orcs with shitty weapons.

>intended for mature audiences

It's meant to be good old jack but with a more mature focus, so, it still has the same sort of comedic moments, but it treats it's serious moments more dark. Pretty much the only difference besides the continuous story part.

>in a cartoon where Jack was NEVER able to do this
anon, you just were shown a scene where Jack is able to resist a punch of several tons of hot rock lava. You brain has just decided to go in full denial mode.

It's time you admit it. There is nothing wrong with what Ashi did and is in full respect of what was set in the Samurai Jack universe.

>>91985589

She defintely was. She wasn't going up, but down.

and we never said Gravity did the whole thing, we said it helped.

The problem for me at least with the scene in the newest episode isn't that Ashi won but that she ran over an entire army like a truck and beat them in seconds.
Jack fought armies but they fights took time and were interesting to watch unfold.
Ashi's fight in the newest episode was like watching somebody throwing a bowling ball at a bunch of pins.

Again, with her (and many others') displays of absurd super strength so far, there's literally no reason she shouldn't have been able to do this unless all of the Orcs could easily beat Captain America in arm-wrestling.

>>91985792
They look for any reason to hate on ashi even if it means making up lies.

This is a valid criticism of the fight. I personally liked the hand to hand, and the music was absurdly good, but I can see why someone with your interest might not have enjoyed it.

>>91984842
Women grow up believing they can be as competent and capable as men, be it in sports or combat, if they just train. That any gaps in brute strength can be overcome with agility or brains. That's what Western media has pushed for decades, but feminism has mutated into an easy idol to worship and garner cheap acclaim. Everything, even the news, endlessly encourages them to play at being men.

It's gotten actual people killed, and will only continue to devour more. Female soldiers and even officers aren't just an ungodly deep money pit, they're ineffective to the point of lethality. Yet there's no shortage of commercial and political propaganda encouraging them to defend others, not just themselves or their children.

This shit don't help. Especially not with grown women and mothers swallowing it hook, line, sinker.

That's because, in Ashi's case, it wasn't the main fight. The real fight was against her mother and the orc army was the apetizer.

They were literal jober so that Ashi's mother could sneak on Jack.

The main problem in this thrad is that people here are comparing Ashi's fight with the army as the main fight when in this case, it's just the opener.

It's why it's fair to compare this army fight to the one Jack had there>>91984917

>>91985925
>If she could do that how the fuck did seven of her job to Jack though?

Because Jack is in every way better than them.

>Jack never showed such an outrageous feat of strength.

Jack learned to "jump good" by carrying a 100-ton boulder on his back, and lifted and tossed a Sumo alien explicitly stated to weigh 700 tons. What the fuck are you talking about?

>>91985920
No, they really don't.

Or the time he tanked orbital reentry despite hitting the Earth hard enough to cause an enormous explosion.

>>91984917
Hey look! It's Ashi vs. the army. I love how Aku is bitching at the incompetence of these guys.

>>91985925

Jack's survived re-entry (the suit broke on impact, so he took some of it), had his face shoved into a jagged mountain wall at terminal velocity and was literally unaffected (same with his hands), had a 700 ton sumo wrestler jump hundreds of feet in the air and crush him (Jack was unharmed), jumped around with a 100 ton boulder on his back like it was nothing, casually jumps hundreds of feet vertically and horizontally (many episodes), and can chuck a dude weighing 20 stone with one hand about 100 feet.

Jack has shown greater strength feats, but generally REALLY holds back to just go for the KO/disarm when possible. Ashi on the other hands is straight-up willing to kill the army with extreme brutality.

>>91985879
>Women grow up believing they can be as competent and capable as men, be it in sports or combat, if they just train. That any gaps in brute strength can be overcome with agility or brains. That's what Western media has pushed for decades
No they haven't. And Media hasn't done that. Or Women and men competing separately in sport wouldn't be a thing.

>>91986123
Well, it's a fair comparisons. Those Orcs look incompetent and stupid too.

>>91984955
Oh now it's a joke scene? It's not even the main fight. It's the distraction fight so Ashi's mom could go in for the kill.

>>91985960
He shouldn't have even seen them coming.
>That's because, in Ashi's case, it wasn't the main fight. The real fight was against her mother and the orc army was the apetizer.
The fight with her mom was also pretty disapointing, I mean if her mom was that easy to beat how had she kept Ashi and her sisters under control this whole time?
>Because Jack is in every way better than them.
I'm not sure that's true, he's more resourceful definitely but not stronger, he's basically batman to her superman.
>Jack learned to "jump good" by carrying a 100-ton boulder on his back,
Yes but we saw how he can do that an entire episode was devoted to his training and it was pretty much never shown after that, Ashi can take out an army without breaking a sweat because....well I guess because she's Aku's daughter.

The High Priestess seemed clearly superior to Ashi in their fight, she only lost because she ignored Ashi to go after Jack allowing Ashi to get one lucky stab in.

Yeah, okay, OP. Jack has has annihilated whole armies all by himself on such a regular basis that it stopped being interesting. But sure, when another character does it, it's "terrible."

>>91981694
I don't remember Jack ever doing something like this. This is superhuman levels of strength.

>>91986192
>He shouldn't have even seen them coming.
Jack is that good.
>Yes but we saw how he can do that an entire episode was devoted to his training and it was pretty much never shown after that
It wasn't shown. directly referenced in an episode and we regularly saw him do impressive jump. Like against the Shonbi.
>Ashi can take out an army without breaking a sweat because
Man, she was fucking exhausted

I don't hate Ashi. I don't mind her defeating hordes of enemies. I do think this was a pretty weak moment.

>b-but in the other seasons, silly shit happened!
Sure. SJ always had both silly and serious moments, and did both well for the most part. Yes, Ashi pushing her way through the army is rather similar to the Scotsman's wife pushing through the robot demons, but do you love that episode? It's a humorous moment: the two hardened warriors accepting death in battle, and then a fat woman charging through the enemy because they call her fat. But is it a classic episode? No.

I believe where SJ really shines is in its pacing, and this episode was pretty weak on that front. Episodes that really take their time and let the viewer become fully immersed are generally the most memorable ones.

Even though SJ has always had silly moments, did you really enjoy Ashi pushing through the army? Was it a good, well choreographed fight? No. It could have been much more methodical and entertaining, watching her fight through this endless horde to protect Jack. I don't mind silliness, but the scene was just weak. It's not the end of the world, it doesn't mean the new season is irredeemable garbage, but you shouldn't defend a bad sequence just because 'hurr, it was always silly!' They just could've done better.
And while quality is always better than quantity, I'm thinking that making this season only 10 episodes was a mistake.

>>91985406
Oh look! Her mother's talking about how she's always questioning everything. Looks like there was not foreshadowing there. DURR HURR!-/co/ntrarians

I don't even mind that she defeated an army of orcs, that's completely believable assuming they're fairly incompetent and not that well trained

Yes, because for once the series didn't ignore the implications of all the absurd super strength feats its core characters keep displaying like e.g. Captain America's movies do.

It had good pacing. With Jack and his tea ceremony and how Ashi's fight with her mother was brought up.
