It wasn't a plot twist when from the first episode they called them " the daughters of Aku"

>>92386052
How is it even a damn plot twist? She was from a cult called DAUGHTERS OF AKU and her mom called her and her sisters THE DAUGHTERS OF AKU, almost everyone can saw it coming.

Yes. Yes it is. It was obvious and painful to see. Everyone knew the instant Jack kissed her that somehow someway the choice would come down to either Ashi dies or Aku dies. I had some degree of hope before that Genndy WOULD AVOID SUCH CLICHE GARBAGE THAT HE HIMSELF HAS CRITICIZED BEFORE.
But no. Apparently Genndy has some bills to pay, kids to put thru college, whores to snort cocaine off their pussy lips, whatever. I really did enjoy the season even if it was so ridiculously compressed that any story telling it offered was okay at best. But now? I'm kinda mad

>>92386310

He shape-shifted into a human and fucked a human, the child is therefore mostly human. This isn't hard to follow, it's pretty standard shape-shifter fare.

It was strongly hinted at. But the problem is that she is 50% evil. Literally evil essense. Yet she's just a normal person with super powers.

She should be half way between Human and Aku.

>>92386052
You could claim she was 1/7 evil of an equation of 1/2 human and 1/2 evil. After all, Aku's juice was enough to be split in 7 children, so how much would that be?

>>92386716
Idiots thought she was only metaphorically his daughter.

So 75% pure evil.

25% more evil than a normal human.

No he just dripped his evil cum into a goblet and she drank it.

Am i the only one who took the "daughters of Aku" line pretty much at face value in the show? Like right from the beginning i sorta figured Aku had something to do with the girls r if it wasn't direct; Aku being complacent with Jack still being alive was a bit of a downer on this, but i still figured he has something to do with the daughters of Aku.

>>92386886
The High Priestess even mentioned that Aku had visited them at least once in the past; it was pretty obvious he was somehow related to Ashi and the others.

When's the Scotsman?

>>92386582
She displayed quite a bit of super strength when she beat that army on her own. Like there were a weird amount of brute strength moments despite her very slender form.

>>92386052
Don't worry
She'll die

>>92386886
Lol same was this supposed to be a twist? I was assuming Aku fucked the leader of the cult.

>>92386262
I mean, Raven has grey skin and blue hair
That doesn't scream completely normal

>>92387054
And Ashi massacred an entire army on her own with strength no normal person should have.

Will Jack ever love someone who isn't Aku?

What is Aku's best reaction image?

>>92387109
She had the power of Gennedyphysics.

>>92387054
She shares a team with a human who has green skin and changes into animals at will.

>>92387243
...and that's not normal either.
What's your point?

>>92387152
True, Genndy does like to exaggerate. But I'm still open to the idea that that sequence with Ashi pushing down a hole army down the mountain was foreshadowing to her demonic roots.

>>92388085
There were certain disagreements over that. I was on the side that supported that Ashi, for all we knew at the time, shouldn't really have been able to do something like that but still wasn't very bothered by it.

You guys are forgetting something extremely important

Ashi dies, killing her Aku powers to create a time portal

Jack has to use the time portal, and Ashi can't come because she has Aku and Aku can't exist in Jack's future

Now Jack has to decide

-Does he go back to the past to destroy Aku
or
-Does he go back to the past to save Ashi before she gets Aku'd

Jack has a difficult choice next week, lads.

>>92388557
>before she gets Aku'd
Ashi was "Aku'd" since birth, if he does go back to the past before she was transformed (which is what I assume you mean) he would have to distance himself from Ashi so Aku doesn't smell her once scaramouche tells Aku Jack lost his sword, or kill Aku before he can control Ashi.
But this has to be a bittersweet ending, so I assume they stay in the future alive and together, or Ashi dies somehow and Jack goes back to the past or stays in the future.

Guys, get ready for an AMBIGUOUS AS FUCK ENDING where the series just goes to a white screen when Jack enters the time portal, and its completely left up to the viewer to decide what happens after that

People will ask if Jack went back to the past to destroy Aku, or if he just went far back enough to save Ashi before she gets transformed.

Genndy will never answer.

What OP is complaining about is not a big deal.

The worst parts of the episode were
1. Scaramoush just getting killed after all the set up that he would return

But more importantly

2. Pic related.
I mean really? He's just dead? It would have been better to just not bring him up. Because now that episode where he appeared has ZERO reason to exist. Why couldn't Jack use the time portal back then? Why?

>>92386262
Raven does not look like a normal human and cannot act like a normal human without shadow demon tentacles shooting out of her vagina and fucking shit up. Dumb comparison.

>>92389044
I agree that was a terrible reference to the guardian
"You can't use it yet Jack. Not yet"
WHAT WAS THE POINT?

Not gonna lie, Ashi begging Jack to kill her might be cliched, but by God it actually got me. Maybe it's just because I've really grown to like Jack and Ashi both as individual characters as well as a couple, but it still hurt. For a moment there I thought he would actually do it.

>>92389044
>>92389200

The fight taking place at that spot is significant.

Jack will kill Aku. Then as Aku lays dying, he'll remember. A flashback to him fighting the Guardian will remain. The guardian lays dying, and will explain how Jack is destined to use the time portal, and it doesn't matter if he dies or not. Aku will laugh.

End will be them using that Time portal of the Guardian's after it has been repaired.

>>92389329
>>92389361
Genndy mentioned that Mako's family came in to see Baldwin doing Aku's voice near the end of the series, and that there were some misty eyes. Frankly this ep's performance out of him might have done it.

>>92389253
Because Ashi meant 'a girl' in the sense of a girl like her, and the only thing he ever experienced romantically back home was a shy peck on the cheek as a kid of less than 10.

>>92389628

His original sword is still out there somewhere.

>>92389704

I hope not. Because there'd be no problem with Aku being wrong and him having missed 1 time portal. The Guardian seemed mystical, and you could say there's something keeping it hidden from Aku.

>>92389757
I dunno, but I strongly suspect Jack is gonna pull the blade out of himself at some point in the fight, assuming Aku does something like chuck it into space or the pit of hate.

Are you fucking retarded? Did you even WATCH the original series that Genndy keeps referencing in season 5?

First, here's the forging you saw in Episode 7
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hrX4_hkxmg&t=60s

Almost the entire sequence is skipped for time constraints. Episode 7 was rushed as fuck so they skip almost everything in this sequence. However, all you need to confirm Jack's sword is new is the very fact Jack got hit by laser beams.


Here's the ORIGINAL FORGING of Jack's ORIGINAL SWORD

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVYsbP4CB6M&t=110 [Embed]

As you can see, the ENTIRE POINT of the Gods using laser beams to attack Jack or his father is to get his "spirit" out of his body, so they can hammer it into the form of a sword

If the Gods were simply giving JAck his old sword, there is literally no reason for them to attack him with laser beams.

Jack's current sword is brand new, and you're fucking autistic retards that need to watch the old series.

This is NOT up for debate. Jack's sword is brand new. No questions asked.

For all those complaining about the Guardian retcon, it's pretty obvious the story Gendy went with for this final season is not the ending season he had initially planned when writing the show a decade ago. This could be for any number of reasons. Maybe the number of episodes they gave him (10) wouldn't work with the ending season he had planned which might have been based on having more episodes like the old season got. Maybe the venue switch to Adult Swim gave him the ability to have more freedom to the amount of violence and borderline nudity and it let him make an ending season he had originally wanted to make more but couldn't originally when the show was on main cartoon network. Maybe the script he wrote for the movie that had been teased was what he based this season off of instead of the original plan back a decade ago. Or maybe after a decade of hiatus, he just changed his mind and decided on something different.

Any one of these explanations could explain the change in plans. It might even be a few of them mixed together.
That being said, when marathoning the whole show now, it's probably best to just skip the guardian episode from here on out. It won't completely fix the issue, but it leaves it overall less co fusing if it's not there.

>>92390812
Thanks for not being petty and backpedaling. I genuinely appreciate that

>>92390033
If it were brand new, we wouldve seen them forge it.

>>92386886
Yeeeaaaah ... wtf, were people shocked? At first I thought they may just be a crazy cult that has kids, kills the boys and raises the girls to be "Daughters of AKU!" but then we see her give birth to like 7 of them at once.

7 babies ... all girls ... people don't normally do that so yeah, them being the legit daughters of Aku should be assumed.

>>92390929
>This could be for any number of reasons.

You need not speculate, Genndy talked about that openly. Mako dying led to several re-write ideas of how to handle the end, and there were several different formats pitched for the end that changed how events would happen and which would happen. Definitely being on [AS] gave him a freer hand, which he obviously wanted.

I'm guessing "give Jack a reason to stay" was part of plans very early, though.

>>92390986
>7 babies ... all girls ... people don't normally do that

Septuplets are incredibly rare, but do occur in nature. If they were identical septuplets they'd all be girls and all look identical.

>>92391087
The original ending was probably a 2 episode story at most. Keep in mind that samuri jack was always episodic. The last season would have likely been like that up until the very end. That's how most cartoon shows were. So the ending we are getting now is almost certainly BETTER than the original plan, it's just that a few older plot details like the guardian were not compatible then.

TL;DR If Gendy had originally planned to use this ending, Guardian would never have had a guardian episode in the first place.

>>92391118
Hmm, what are you saying? You think it might reactivate?!?!

>>92386446
>She should be half way between Human and Aku.
That's what she ended up becoming once Aku activated his essence inside her.

>>92386052

Daughters of Aku were essentially rehashed Ultra-Robots anyway. And Aku fueled those things with his black goo as well.

>>92391111
Yup. Aku notes with amusement that Ashi is a 'real' daughter of Aku.

Another day, another forced excuse to hate SJ.

I'm convinced there is an ulterior motive at this point.

You guys are idiots.

Guardian's portal is going to reactivate as soon as Jack kills Any. At which point Ashi will be freed and Jack will be forced to make a very difficult decision.

>>92391162
I think it might. At least, I don't see why they'd have Jack's final battle with Aku on this particular spot if they were throwing away the Guardian foreshadowing.

>>92391162
Or it might be that that portal was never going to be the one Jack was going to go through at all. The Guardian works for his portal, but it doesn't tell him everything. It might have omitted the fact that, when Jack is ready, it will be through a different route (probably Ashi, if they roll this way).

>>92391221
>Any

What are the odds Ashi's role is to take Aku's place and become a benevolent ruler instead, while Jack finally fucks off to create a happier separate timeline by killing Aku in the past?

Thats going to be ending isn't it?

The bittersweet ending is that Ashi lives, but Jack stops being attracted to her when Aku is destroyed.

If Jack kills Aku, would that kill Ashi? If the "Daughters of Aku" are literally part-Aku, how is it that Jack was able to kill them with ordinary weapons?

>>92390159

Aku is an unreliable narrator.

The portal in the comics denoted Jack as a grizzled warlord. It's possible that his future was to rule the earth post-aku as an immortal warrior of justice. It was a time portal, that has the capacity to speak to Mako in some way, so who the fuck knows

>If Jack kills Aku, would that kill Ashi?

This seems like a strong possibility, though Jack doesn't seem to believe it while he's fighting Ashi and urging her to resist Aku's presence in her. Plus, this season has been heavy on the idea of your choices defining you, if Ashi has no option but to die, that subverts that.

If it IS true and Jack finds out (like, say, slashing Aku and Ashi screams too), I don't think he'll be able to go through with killing Aku. At which point I would expect Ashi to solve the problem by killing herself.

Of course, all of that would be very dark for the conclusion of Samurai Jack, and I think it's more likely that he's gonna burn out the Aku in her with love. Or maybe SUCC it out.

Nah. The darkness that Aku originated from was killed, but he still survived. Seems like pieces of darkness can survive independently.

The piece of darkness within Ashi has not independently caused any problems for her whatsoever, there is no reason to believe that once the "trigon" to her "raven" is killed, that the darkness will overtake her.

This. Frankly, I'm surprised this was apparently meant to come as some sort of shock. Why else would the birth have been made such a big deal (all the candles, lying on an altar, turning these children in particular into assassins, etc) if she wasn't inseminated by Aku?

I mean, it's still lame as hell, since Ashi is the worst part of the show and the fact that she was overtaken and became Akushi wasn't really dramatic and felt more like "Oh thank god, we finally don't have to listen to her again, too bad it's the second to last episode".

It's not only the worst plot twist ever, but the worst plot ever. If Jack somehow finds a way to make Ashi completely fine again I will actually vomit.

>>92396720
That would completely defeat the purpose of her character arc.

Ashi is totally outmatched by Jack. This is another Batman VS Superman situation, where the former only stands a chance because the other isn't actually trying.

Jack swallowed a bit of Aku-corrupted disease. It took hold because diseases do that.

Ashi meanwhile is like one of those poor fuckers with a genetic deadman's switch that sets off a lethal disease as if on a timer early in life.

>>92396802
Jack has only killed people trying to kill him I thought, which is just Ashi's sister and a slight implication of killing bounty hunters in the princess and the bounty hunters episode. He's killed plenty of animals/monsters and robots

>>92386419
>down to either Ashi dies, or Aku dies.

I disagree. Jack didn't fall victim to the cliche, he dropped the sword. Plus, remember the goats? The goats were killed while tainted by Aku's magic, and the sword abandoned him for it. Wouldn't it be the same for Ashi? She is another innocent tainted and controlled by Aku's magic just he same. If Jack had killed her to get to Aku, Jack would have lost the sword. Its not happening, Jack isn't going to kill her. Still, she could end up dying some other way, but Jack won't kill her. I think by "bittersweet" of a ending, its that Jack is going to either get to be with Ashi, or go back to the past, either way its bittersweet then because he didn't get everything he wanted, and he lost things important to him either way.

>>92397141
At this point, the only way Jack is going to get back to the past (Watcha!) is if either Ashi or Aku opens a time portal for him to travel through. I can't see any reason Aku would but if Ashi did, he'd most likely have to abandon her. Alternatively, he slays Aku in the present and never travels back to the past.

>>92397198

I want them to kill Aku, and never go back to the past.

Future-world is just too damn interesting. And it's barely been explored. It is a WORLD OF ADVENTURE.

I want sequel series set in it so we can fully explore it post-Aku. Nations fight for control in the power vacuum Aku's death brought. Staring Jack and Ashi's child.

>>92397141
but ashi isn't just possessed or tainted

part of her -IS- aku

>>92389757
Yes, Jack's current sword is a new sword. A new sword, born out of his own soul, just as his father's was as well.
No, his old sword isn't "still out there". When the sword rejected him, it left. I don't mean left as in went somewhere else, I mean left as in returned to the gods and was unmade. Highlander rules, there can only be one chosen to defeat Aku, and if they have a god sword, any other copies no longer exist.

>>92397198
Both choices are the same as I had said. If Ashi opens a portal, he chooses his past over Ashi. And if Aku dies, Ashi's Aku side dies with him, and Jack choses Ashi over the past.
>>92397262
She is still half human, and half innocent is still innocent. The goats were half innocent, and half Aku magic as well. The instant Jack were to kill Ashi, her Aku side would have left her exposing her human form, and the sword would have fell from his hand and rolled under some trash or something, disappearing again. People seem to forget, Jack only has the sword because the sword agrees with his choices so far. If the sword ever feels he committed sin, the sword will leave him again.

>but why do mortal weapons hurt them if they're half aku
Probably because they're made of flesh (birthed by a human woman) and the mortal half of them is apparently dominant until Aku makes it otherwise.

Imagine if all 7 of aku's daughters actually go like that

>>92388085
THAT Ashi could defeat the army is justified by show-logic, and Jack could have defeated the army himself. It was HOW she did it that had implications. Jack would have used his superior skill and weapon to hack and slash his way through the ranks. Ashi bulldozed through with brute strength. Jack would have taken a spear and used it as a spear/staff to fight. Ashi grabbed a bunch of spears, chopped their ends off with her bare hand, and threw all of them them at once hard enough to penetrate armor. Jack has superhuman strength, but the degree of his strength is made less conspicuous by the style and common occurrence of even stronger characters. Ashi's strength is conspicuously superhuman. She is shown in episode 2 to be far stronger than Jack himself when she pinned him to a tomb while having a considerable mechanical disadvantage.

>>92389044
This >>92389198. Scaramouche served as nothing more than a plot device to relay to Aku that Jack lost his sword. His characterization was added to mask his 1 dimensional role.

>>92390033
Just realised, wouldn't it be cooler if Jack got Samurai armour like his dad instead of his old clothes?

wait, what if
Aku used his power to rise other dead sisters?

>>92398558
I was initially on the fence with Ashi's OP strength in ep7, but it made so much more sense in context in ep9. I just wished they did a better job signaling subtly that Ashi didn't know her own strength during that battle. It's far beyond something Ashi could had experienced in training.

>>92386369

I wonder how will they explain the fact that Aku can't be killed by anyone not even the sword according to the exposition we got from Jack's dad vs Aku fight, he was not killed but rather turned into a tree vowing to return one day, i don't know if that was a slip from Jack's dad or the only ones who can really eliminate all of Aku's essence are those 3 space gods, so far it seems that even if a small drop of Aku survives he comes back in full swing as time passes.

>>92386052
I think the point was that Aku has controlled people with 0% of him in them, so she was retarded easy.

>>92398717
Well, the Minions of Set were imprisoned before they got released, did evil, and Ra KILLED them this time. Since Aku has already had his chance at corrective justice, perhaps the gods will show up to take possession of the sword and fry Aku.

Or perhaps Jack will destroy the sword with Aku in it, or himself with Aku in HIM, or something like that, and death/destruction will 'carry over' to Jack.

Or maybe the sword doesn't kill Aku, but raw, unfiltered human goodness (expressed via love) does.

Or maybe Jack imprisons Aku in the sword, and uses a hypothetical last portal to chuck Aku into the future - specifically requesting, say, the end of all time.

No you idiots, the people who saw it as a twist aren't in denial, they see it as a twist because of how it was built up, until now it was executed as Aku not knowing about them, the cult just being weird as fuck and never had seen Aku or knew how to even find/talk to him, and that someone else impregnated the head leader or it happened through some ritual magic spell shit, they're fucking crazy who knew.

It wasn't retarded that based on how it played out that it was just the cultists saying they were the daughters in a honor/job-based way.

This is the same thing for the Jashi thing, not everybody who saw it as sudden/a big reveal were Daughterfags, or were just mad that it didn't take that direction, but the fact that the hints easily could've been seen as Jack and Ashi just getting acquainted with each other and starting to accept each other as equals. Jack being awkward saying "I like your hair, and your dress" could've been seen as both a tonal dissonance gag due to them just having a battle, and/or just Jack being socially awkward anyway as he is with others mate-wise or not.

Unlike here though, the "twist" thing didn't have much denialfags/scapegoat sides, here there were daughterfags prior to the event.

Looking at the daughters all together got me thinking. People complained at the start of the season that they all looked alike except for the hair. I'm wondering if it's on purpose.

When you look at the silhouette of the high priestess drinking the aku cum, she has the same ape face like Ashi has. Maybe Ashi is just a clone of her mother with Aku infusion, same with her sisters. And that's why they look alike except for the hair.

>>92403251

I like how Jack's reaction to finding out the woman he's come to trust and love is his arch-enemy's demonic get isn't disgust or fear or anything of the sort, but to attack AKU for it as if he could protect her from that fact.

>>92389044
Scaramouche contributed nothing to the story after he relayed the info to Aku. A rematch would have been boring, so at best he'd only contribute as a background character in a final army vs army situation, but that would also be boring and pointless and not really feature his character either.

>>92404202
He could've been a b-list fight for Ashi, but the whole demonspawn reveal makes that kinda unworkable, and frankly I don't think he'd be competitive with her.

Scaramouche is literally named for his role in the season. Dude's a clown. He did his role and bowed out when expected. He got more time than most amusing bit villains did on the show.

>female
I'm sure it's 100% evil

>>92386052
No. It was foreshadowed and explains a lot. But it's Ashi so it's awful no matter what.

And let's just be honest here, there is literally no scenario where people are gonna be even close to satisfied with the ending. No matter what happens, /co/ will hate it.

Well, he is asian after all.

Hack being destined to use the portal but never getting to use it is a retcon.

I mean, maybe Jack fucked up the prophecy by losing his sword and 'missed his appointment.'

Or maybe he'll grow 'old,' his future loved ones will pass, and only then will he return to the past.

It was clearly latent. And was always being hinted at, what with the super strength and the ability to survive a huge drop off a cliff.

They're literally called the DAUGHTERS of AKU

You're right, using that in response to someone being pissed off about anything is no better.

Well satan, even though I'm inclined to agree with you, the season has been very literal so far, especially involving Aku.
For example
>"fun fact, that was the last time portal in existence"
>oh shit maybe he forgot about the guardians portal!
>episode 9

>50% pure evil
did somebody call for purification
Is mission sacred enough to kill Aku

It's a twist because nowadays everything in media is metaphorical, and it seems like this whole season is making a point of subverting when you think something is just a metaphor or figure of speech.
