Why are you guys butthurt about the kiss

>>92228919
Because it's following a trope nobody wanted or asked for. We just wanted to see jack fight off Aku and win.

>>92229030
They're alone together, and they saved each other's lives, in both a literal and emotional sense, when they were at their lowest points. That's pretty impactful.

Also, we're not expecting realism from a show like this.
I feel you'd need to argue that artistically/from a storytelling perspective it was dumb. Which, if you feel that, I get it. I liked it though.

Ashi's hate takes 3 episodes to abate, over a course of weeks of revelations.

First, we see her frantically trying to prop up her 'samurai is a demon' brainwashing while he keeps saving her and looking more like a kicked dog than a threat to the world.

Then he shows that even when he doesn't know she's watching, he's a gentle soul who loves the one secret thing she'd always treasured, the natural world.

Then he agrees to show her proof of Aku's evil, taking her all around the world to show her examples, and letting her conclude for herself.

Then she witnesses him literally unable to harm children who have been mind-controlled into violent animals, and who are trying to tear him apart. A minion of Aku even gloats about how Jack has always been like this. It's probably beginning to sound familiar to Ashi.

Then Ashi tries to track Jack down, and meets a lot of people who clearly consider Jack the good man she'd been beginning to suspect he was. She casts aside the trappings of the cult, even her weapon. When pressed, she admits Jack is a friend.

Then she finds Jack about to kill himself out of guilt and grief, and after she's stirred him from his funk and saved her from the Omen, the first thing he does is praise some of the first real choices she's made for herself ever.

It's a pretty long build up. Even after Ashi has been giving overwhelming proof again and again that her cult was wrong, she hesitates before acknowledging she's come to see Jack as a friend, not an enemy.

Do you think when this is all over they'll occasionally spice things up with a little 'wicked samurai/brave assassin' play, or is Jack too vanilla for that?

because it was poorly set up

>>92229729
Too vanilla. For now.

>>92229795
I'd die to see Jack try and pretend to be evil. And not 'cool, quiet evil' like he did with the gangsters.

>>92229991
He's got years of "FOOLISH SAMURAI" material to go from.

>>92228919
Serious question: Does anyone care that Jack hooked up with Ashi? Or do they just care that Jack hooked up?

>>92230266
I've seen the fag squad furious that either one isn't with a same sex person, but most annoyance seems to boil down to Ashi 'stealing' Jack.

>>92228919
No, I'm more upset by the abysmal pacing and the fact that Jack and Ashi were able to largely overcome their issues in the span of last week's episode. Also the fact that Jack and Ashi's romance was rushed, and that we had this filler romance episode happen BEFORE the Aku face-off. Or the fact that Ashi exists at all when her screentime could've been used for previously-established characters such as Aku or the Scotsman.

It's just shit writing all around.

>>92230266
Personally, I'm not mad that they hooked up so much as it just feels way too quick. In a 10 episode season, a new character and love interest is a lot of development to cram in for both characters in a very, very short amount of time.
I feel like it just wasn't the move Genndy shoulda made. Maybe if he had another 5 or more episodes this season, it could've worked out much, much better. But what do I know? I'm not at the helm of the show.
Ultimately I think Jack absolutely deserves a waifu and happiness.

>>92230266
It's pure cancerous tripe this show for 4 fucking seasons was about a lone samurai fighting evil traveling the world on a quest, the first 3 episodes of this season showed a new avenue to explore regarding the psychological devastation said lone samurai experiences in his quest then they throw this garbage romance drivel for 5 episodes now. Make them fuck for one episode sure fits right on with the whole genre of "traveling ronin" no problem, focus the majority of the closing season on this terrible romance story and it's a big deal. The reboot was a mistake and from what has been released so far, a blemish on a fantastic series.

>>92230955
Sounds like a personal problem you got there bub

>>92228919
Because I don't want Jack get soyed by some random chick. He isn't ready for relationship.

The tumblr elements of 4chan. You think tumblrites just popped out of the ground buddy? No, they immigrated there from existing sites like 4chan and Others-that-shall-not-be-namedchan. Doesn't mean they don't come back to shitpost.

It's not that big a stretch that they'll come to a place that promises anonymity by default to rant about shit they find annoying.

>>92231037
>hurr who cares if the thematic elements of a long running simplistic episodic series get turned on their head for generic romance that's both bland and so poorly placed there's a fucking jump cut to a wildly different kissing shot complete with a ridiculously cheesy love song to satiate the long gone teenage fantasies of the showrunners real life waifu

>>92231087
But the Jashi relationship changed Jack back to the status quo from the new direction that the season started with.

>>92231135
He has to kill Aku and return to his world first. Besides, there are other women that Jack can pick besides an assassin.

>>92231135
Jack has less interpersonal experience than some people here, and that's downright sad.

But he's a grown man, he's ready as he wants to be.

No, Iam butthurt about this season being more about developing a fucktoy for Jack instead the show being about Jack getting back to the past

>>92231208
Because deep down people still know that they'd just get weird looks if they started sperging out around actual people.
On the internet they don't have to deal with peoples immediate physical reactions so they go full retard at the drop of a hat.

>>92228919
I honestly don't get it. Am I just stupid or something? I'm totally confused by all of this backlash.
I thought Ashi and Jack's relationship was well done, especially within the context of the series. It's very sweet and cute without being overboard and with appropriate buildup. The scene where Jack and Ashi awkwardly fight the tiger people on the camel bus is one of my favorites in this season. It was a really good tipping point in confirming what direction this was heading.

Maybe I'm biased because I'm a sucker for romance, but hate really just seems unjustified to me.

And all of you faggots trying to justify this ridiculous scenario, I'm sure you're big fans of such literary titans as Harry Potter or Everybody Poops. it's not even about the shoehorned love plot, it's about the atrocious editing and presentation of that scene. Jesus Christ you retards, have some standards.

>It's a pretty long build up. Even after Ashi has been giving overwhelming proof again and again that her cult was wrong, she hesitates before acknowledging she's come to see Jack as a friend, not an enemy.
Well they're complaining about the romantic parts, not her being deradicalized.
Of course looking at it objectively shes a young girl who has no experience in love or life and funny enough this is what almost always happens when they spend enough time with a guy they find mildly attractive.

Its why so many women end up getting hurt overall. They come preprogrammed to desire a more experience partner because usually that meant being better taken care of.

Humanity has yet to truly evolve past its beginnings but usually after the first time experience wins out and they move to actually choosing someone to love.

Welp jacks never had a girl in the last 80 yrs, ashis been developing feelings for him at the end of episode 6 and started growing through 7 and 8. At the end of 8 they were literally in the heat of the moment so they were like fuck it lets do it

>>92231575
We've had hints these two are attracted to each other since not long after seeing each others' faces, so it didn't seem too abrupt to me.

Episode 8 is pretty much the first time things have slowed down enough that they really had time to dwell on their attraction. Finding Aku's castle takes a while.

As an aside, I'm amused that the series' second 'love arc' episode ever happened in a desert - again.

>>92231170
so pure 4chan users don't rant about shit they find annoying because the site promises anonymity

>>92230266
Perhaps I should reword the question given that no one has really answered it.

What aspect of the relationship do people care about?

The fact that it's Jack and Ashi who became a couple with one another? Or the fact that Jack finally has a woman to make him happy?

Nearly all of the people going "Haha, kissless virgins" or whatever never really seem to talk about Ashi herself, just the relationship. And that's what I'm curious about, because I have no problem with Jack being in a relationship. It's just that I don't find Ashi a compelling other half for him.

>>92231763
I dunno, I think it's cool to have a character that actually understands a lot of what Jack went through, and who still cleaves to similar ideals through a different path. And I like that Jack was saved more through empathy than killer sword moves.

EVERYBODY LOVES SOMEBODY SOMETIMES

>>92231692
No, they rant about other shit no one cares about, and when they do, it's often less rage and more a tired resignation of things that are. When it comes to ships however, that's like exclusively tumblr territory, and they'll come flying at you like an angry Korean.

Things have turned around for Jack: He got his sword back, his hope and will to fight has returned, and now, he's found love. I couldn't be happier for the guy, and I'm pretty satisfied with how things are going right now.

However, I'm now nervous that something bad is going to happen, that's going to turn things back around for Jack (like Ashi getting straight up murdered by Aku or something).

No matter what happens though, I can't wait to see what happens next! Saturday had better hurry the fuck up and get here!

Y'know, this reminds me of the ending of Episode 4 where people were mad about Ashi 'suddenly' doing a complete turn over a ladybug. And then when Episode 5 happened it turned out that she didn't, and that the ladybug was just a catalyst to get her to even consider listening to him.

I kind of expect that next episode will show them being really awkward around each other over it, with it having been a heat of the moment thing. Maybe they split up temporarily as a result, with Ashi going to get some new clothes and somehow getting captured while Jack is off doing something else.

>>92233658

>>92233741

>>92233774
I wonder if Genndy even wanted to do a season 5. That he shit on it so hard to an extent that it seems he wanted to piss off the fanbase as much as possible says no. Maybe he was forced to do one after years of joking about it and this is his bitterness. It's a good explanation for how someone could fuck up this bad. Even made the first three episodes genuinely good to lure people into a false sense of security. Those were the most amazing things that have ever been written and televised.

It was poorly paced, and poorly done. It sticks out like a sore thumb from the rest of the episodes. Mind you, that it being poorly done is not a symptom of its poor pacing. I can see a few mistakes happening when you've got 10 episodes to wrap up a series with 4 seasons of backstory.
They hook up? That wasn't the direction anyone was really expecting this to go in, but I'm down to clown.
They hook up over the course of one episode? Not great, but I can live with that.
The fucking obnoxious corniness? Kills it. I'm entirely sure half the people here would not give as much of a shit hadn't he stuck it in there face so much. Like pretending that going all-out cheese and then sliding up beside them in a turnt-back baseball cap and docked shades saying, "ooh, wow, that was preeeeetty corny, wasn't it?" made it entirely OK, since he's aware of it.
Yes, Tartersauce-ky, I get it, you moved along their relationship pretty fast, you sly devil you. But you know, I would have caught it just as well if you had thrown a ball instead of chucking a fucking 18-wheeler at me. Jesus christ.

I think this was the worst Samurai Jack episode so far. Stuff like Farting Dragon and Jack is Naked were more entertaining.

>>92231207
No it hasn't. He's defeated his demons, but how he's able to grow past the singular purpose that's driven his actions his entire life. He's able to become something beyond a weapon. That said, the tone is more similar to the original series.

>>92231311
You can't please everyone. Even if it were the most well-done romance arc ever, there'd still be almost as much nerd rage because people can't handle the fact that they're not getting a grimdark season and/or that they can't self-insert into Jack anymore.

>>92239342
So basically the hallucination of his father was right.

>>92239765
I wouldn't say that. He's remembered his purpose again, but now he can grow as an individual too. One could argue that his singular fixation on his purpose is what caused him to lose it to begin with, as he failed time and time again and had nothing else to live or fight for and no real identity.

>>92228919
I'm not remotely butthurt about the kiss, I thought it was a classic example of So Bad, It's Good.
I'm butthurt about this season's very existence. It is a severe insult to each and every fan of the original.

Okay two problems

1) She doesn't know that being nude is SHMAFUR but SOMEHOW she understanding what a kiss is? She was enclosed all her life. Even during her first episode she and her sisters didn't understand why "Horned deer" was nuzzling the hornless deer.
2) It came out of nowhere. You don't just go from an attraction to tongue spearing each others mouths

>She doesn't know that being nude is SHMAFUR
It wasn't the fact that she didn't know nudity was bad, it's the fact that they were in a dangerous situation and jack was worried about her being naked instead of the monster. You have to remember the approach to combat she was trained for.

Jack being 75 but also getting incredibly flustered at seeing Ashi naked and going out of his way to cover her up in combat for the sake of decency is pretty contrived. Dude's had PTSD for half the season + however long beforehand and presumably saw some incredibly fucked up shit during his 50 years in the future.

You mean 1080. He was born a long time ago.

>>92243367

He reacted to her in a similarly nervous manner as he did that one green-dressed harlot from the train episode. 50+ years of fighting robots and monsters does not suddenly mean he would know how to stay cool around attractive women.

>>92243888
Have you seen that episode recently? He's only slightly nervous when she comments on how hot it is in the cabin. When she grabs his arm and compliments his strength, Jack agrees and starts laughing with her. It's nothing like what happens in s5e8 and that stupidly spergy comment about them almost holding hands.

It's so fucking cliche that I was kind of disappointed at first. But then I remembered what show I was watching, and realized it was my fault for expecting anything else. Samurai Jack isn't bad, but it's not original or subversive.

Them hooking up does not add anything to the story and betrays the themes from the original series. Jack needed to see someone like Ashi transform and change to inspire him after 50 years of failure, I get it. But them actually falling in love is wholly unnecessary and makes the show feel very generic and "tropey".

Still a solid show even if my hopes were set too high by the first 3 episodes. I just hope the finale doesn't disappoint.

>>92249226
I think the entire point was just to do something they couldn't do while it was originally airing. Imagine if Ikra got something like the scene at the end.

>>92239765
The point of him getting a new sword showed how he's finally gotten past his demons and became a true person, not just a living weapon
His sword is of his own merit, what he's done for the world, not the sword of his father representing a mission statement and the actions of his father

>>92249315
That is possible if what the other anons in this thread said about Genndy planning something like this for the original series is true. I would love to see how this would have played out without being limited to 10 episodes.

>Imagine if Ikra got something like the scene at the end.
Come on man I just fapped.

but what about the fact that jacked killed her sisters right in front of her
Jack should at the least feel guilt

>>92249361
He didn't get a new sword.

>>92249447
He did, thats why he saved Ashi

>>92249447
I was hoping Jack would feel some guilt about killing people who were brainwashed and tortured from birth. Unfortunately it looks like that plot point is long gone.

Wasted potential. I guess they wanted Jack's guilt trip to only last 1 episode.

Ashi didn't really care about her sisters at all due to the nature of her training though. So I can see why it wouldn't come up.

>>92249447
>>92249545
Could have sworn he had an hallucination of birds calling him a murderer. Also, inside of the monster, he told his conscience that it was all his fault and Ashi was there because of him.

>>92249534
Jack killed the other sisters because he had to. Jack only saved Ashii because by herself she wasn't a real threat.

>>92249577
That's true, I forgot about the bird hallucination. But it still has yet to come up again.

>>92249625
>But it still has yet to come up again.
Ashi doesn't blame Jack for their deaths though. She blames her mother, because at the end of the day, it WAS her fault.

>>92249625
It's very awkward for Jack, and Ashi seems to be against bringing it up knowing that it would be a bad idea.

Also Jack was trying to weasel out of killing them in Episode 3.

>>92249730
>it WAS her fault.
She wasn't the one who rend their flesh with a blade.

>>92249790
No, but she was the one who trained them for the sole purpose of killing Jack knowing full well that Jack would retaliate. She's just as guilty as him.

>>92249730
I don't expect Ashi to be angry at Jack at all. I just thought Jack's guilt over murder would play a bigger role. Like that anon said, the bird hallucination shows that he still had guilt even after resolving himself. But I guess that plot point was supposed to be finished with him sparing Ashi.

Still 2 episodes left though. Who knows?

>>92249887
I kind of wanted a moment like this:
>Jack: Those six girls; what were their names?
>Ashi: What?
>Jack: Please, I'd like to know.
>Ashi lists their names
>Jack: Thank you. I will never forget them until the day I fall.

>>92249917
Also, I wanted either Jack or Ashi (mostly Jack) to find each of their bodies so he could give them a proper burial without leaving their bodies out to rot. I doubt the High Priestess did that even though she knows they're dead, as "death is failure."

It'd be nice to see Jack give a final prayer or something while Ashi stays behind confused as to why he would care so much about people who were after his life.

Because people have an image of Samurai Jack from when they watched the original show, and when this all started to happen in front of our eyes, they thought that it was ruining their image of Samurai Jack.
Inb4 now they hate Ashi and hate that she is with Jack now.

>>92245586
Because in the train Jack was merely finding her attractive. With Ashi it's different; they have known each other for a long time now and he's much more emotionally involved. He is probably afraid that his attraction towards her becomes too pronounced and that causes rejection from Ashi. That's the reason most guys and girls sperg out in front of the people they like.

>>92249226
We're at the end of the line. Jack has been alone most of his life; I do not see how him trying to achieve happiness with another human being is out of character for him or against the show's themes.

>>92250067
When I was a young kid and I got horny I understood and felt that my penis was supposed to go inside of something, but I didn't know what. Instinct is a very real thing.

>>92249507
Recall how the sword was made from the spirit of his father. This is made from Jack's own spirit.

This is such a bizarre cognitive dissonance.
Actual threads on this site appear and you imagine they're just tumblr-origin'd like some kind of rash or plague. It's such a weird way and fallacy to dismiss things, claiming the foreign in the familiar is actually from an imagined foreigner. Seriously, they "immigrated?" Even on the internet this primitive thinking still persists.

I think it deserves a zizek joke.

>>92231208
Hey cool Pixel!

I'd be less upset if Ashi didn't magically evolve into a perfect, mentally stable mary sue character that is a excellent match for Jack.

Seriously how is she not super fucked up after the way she was raised? Does this not bother anyone else?

Yes, I'm that guy that gets triggered by mary sues.

>>92229185
He still technically has long hair, his little bun thing is supposed to be really well kept. In old episodes though, whenever shit got rough, it'd fall down and show long hair.

>>92250204
Is she mentally stable?
She was pretty ruthless even after her transformation.

I don't think she's perfect. Also, her drastic change feels justified, given how much life-changing shit she went through.
I don't know where we should draw the line in terms of realism anyway.

It takes a morally questionable theme of SJ and examines it. We see the damage that being trained as a living weapon had on Jack(he had nothing to live for once the portals were fucked because he only ever had that singular goal) and we see a counterpoint of his life in the form of Ashi.

Notice how they're heads, when put together, are more or less the taiji symbol? It's all about Jack finding balance not only in his soul, but in his life.

I dunno, I think it works. I was wondering why Ashi's head was designed like it was until I made that realization.

I also realized that the first three episodes being one interconnected story arc may be a reference to SJ's premiere "movie", the first three episodes of the show.

>>92250436
>I was wondering why Ashi's head was designed like it was until I made that realization.
Or, maybe,
just hear me out

It's designed like that
WAIT
i was saying it's designed like that because it's designed like that.

>>92250373
Since this season was touted as having much more mature themes, I guess I expected Ashi to develop a more warped personality similar to Jack given her upbringing. I guess maybe that is asking too much though.

>>92250144
The Emperor's "righteous energy" was brought forward, infused with magic power from Ra, Odin, and Vishnu, and forged by monks into its the sword. Then he was zapped and given samurai armor.

For Samurai Jack, they zapped him to give him a gi and lowered the already existing sword down. They didn't make a new one. The whole point was that he was getting back the sword he lost.

Ashi should have been an enemy a few more episodes and the fucking scene of a human woman obviously inseminated by Jack literally prooves she is his daughter and Genndy is literally pushing the girlXfather fetish trope. I really looked forward to this season. I gave it a chance and unless he's still healing with the wolf, I probably just won't be impressed.

He could have still left her hanging there defenseless. But he took it upon himself to save Ashi from Aku's influence. It was his way of coping with having murdered his first humans; at least trying to make it right by saving one of them.

The Ashi romance is setting up for the finale, when Jack will have to stay in the future and become happy and build a life there. Giving him a romantic partner as an anchor is the best way to do that, given there are only ten episodes.

>>92255294
