Anyone expecting either of them to die doesn't understand the formula of this show at all. Even with the new TV-14 rating, this is still a children's show at heart. It will play out exactly how you think it will.

When I think about it, that's probably where a lot of this hate comes from. The first three episodes were darker and more 'mature', which is what many people wanted. And when the show stayed true to the original series by having a variety of tones they got mad and started screaming about pacing.

Well that and Ashi.

God I hope this ends well. I dearly wish it was an hour long ending, but I'll take what I can get. Looking forward to the simultaneous /co/ and /tv/ meltdowns as a result of the finale as well.

It doesn't need to be, Ashi is possibly immortal, so they can live as immortal benevolent rulers.
They will always be fucking.
When the seas heat up and the world falls into global catastrophe they will still be fucking.
When the race of man is no more and the ruins of man's cities have crumbled into dust, they will still be fucking
Ancient alien civilizations will find the smoldering, volcanic corpse of planet Earth and and they will find Ashi and Jack fucking so their eternal nut will be brought forth into the far-flung reaches of outer space.
When the last tiny flash of heat in the universe dies and all descends into entropy, Ashi and Jack will still be fucking.

There was definitely a rapid shift in direction after the first few episodes. Even the animation style changed dramatically. It seems like the first few episodes were created awhile before the rest of the season, and somewhere between them Genndy changed his mind about where he wanted the show to go.

>>92448720
It was different before though because most of the episodes were anthologies that worked independently from the overarching story line. Season 5 is like one continuous episode, so drastic tonal shifts don't work as well.
>>
I forgot, did they explain why Jack isn't arging?
>>
>>92449025
plot convenience
>>
>>92448979
But the tonal shifts are still mostly relegated to episode-by-episode. Tonal shifts work best if they are eased into instead of happening suddenly, and I don't think the latter has really been an issue.

>>92449025
It's a side effect of how Aku threw him into the future.

If Genndy wants to ease the hate of the fanbase at least a little he'll kill her off. She's been proven to be by far the most hated character in the series and nothing less of than her death will satisfy people. Well, satisfy them as much as they can be satisfied at this point.

He'd also have to bring the Guardian back.

I feel the like the huge shift was the point, and it works from a narrative standpoint when you consider Jack's mental journey.
>first few episodes are grim and dark, reflecting Jack's hopeless existence and mental instability
>4-6 he and Ashi get closer, the show gets more vibrant, and the pacing picks up because Jack is actively working towards something again instead of wandering around "like a mad fool"
>Jack defeating the Omen and his inner frustration returns him to his original self, gets him back the sword
>by episode 8, Jack is basically just like who he was in the old show, only now he has an attractive companion he's starting to notice now that he isn't plagued by visions
>at the start of episode 9, he's starting to feel like he can be hopeful again, but his conscience warns him against relaxing too much
>Ashi gets possessed, Jack is lost again
I'm really curious to see where the final episode starts off, as everyone expected 9 to be post-coitus but instead we got a direct continuation of the end of 8. But I digress...
My point is that the tonal shifts throughout the season are meant to reflect Jack's mental state, and it's slow recovery, with Ashi's help. Her importance to the progression of the story is I think the biggest evidence of her survival. I sure hope I'm right, but we'll just have to wait and see I suppose.
>>
>>92441602

She'll be fine. The real questions are if Jack will ever go back and if he and Ashi will end up together.
>>
>>92449201
Literally nobody hates her except permavirgins on here and tumblr.
>>
Aku's going to kill Jack and Ashi will take his sword then kill Aku.
>>
>>92449201

Honestly she's the only thing that piqued my interest. The original show was so long ago that I forgot most of it.
>>
>>92441602
nope and if jack does go back to the past and kill aku she will not exist.
>>
>>92449463
Then Ashi will go back to the past with her Aku powers, save her past self and Jack, kill Aku, and have a sexy three way with herself and Jack
>>
dunno op, how do you remove the nature of a bird and still call it a bird?
she is from aku, to remove that from her is to remove...her...
>>
>>92449359
They will, Ashi already asked Jack if he ever had a girl in his life before, and Jack said he was afraid of losing people he loved because they would become a memory because of Aku. Without Aku in the way, they can take their relationship to the next step.
>>
I honestly can't say I care.
>>
>>92441602
She'll die, but not before using her Aku powers to open a time portal to get jack back, back to the past.
>>
>>92441602
I-I gotta fart soo bad, /co/!

>>92441602

She'll open a portal to send Jack back in time, he'll kill Aku, and she will never exist.

>>92449859
It really wouldn't make sense for Jack to go back.
He loses Ashi, he loses his other friends, he's back at a time where technology is so much less advanced, he's a grown man while his family last saw him when he was much younger, and he still has to fight Aku again.

How would S5 Episode 1-4 Ashi react to the events in S5 Episode 9 if Jack never made her change?
>>
>>92450089
It's not that Jack not going back would be bad on it's own merits, but the way the whole show and this season specifically has been delivered, it would be terrible writing to have him not go back.

Having him stay in the future so he could be with Ashi would be a complete cop out since Ashi didn't exist until this last season.
>>
>>92450080
I was trying to think about this. Yes, she's bad originally, but she didn't kill anyone.
Aku's henchmen enslaved and killed tons of people, but the sisters were raised to kill Jack. Even when Ashi did kill people it was to defend herself and Jack.

Perhaps the "sword can't hurt those who are pure" thing may apply to her. Though I think ultimately it will be Ashi who frees herself by winning a mental struggle like Jack did when he was being taken over by Aku.

I don't understand why writers do this. They craft amazing experiences and then try to be all fancy at the end, as if they're being smart, when all they're really doing is pissing people off.

I realize the final hasn't aired yet and anything can happen, but if Jack doesn t get back, Gendy deserves the negative criticism he will receive.
>>
>>92450172
Actually having him go back would probably be worse writing, considering how much emphasis has been placed on how much good he's done for the world and how many lives he's touched.

>Ashi is literally wearing the "hands of evil"
>Ashi is an innocent

>>92450211
My personal hopes is we get a look into Ashi's mind. Seeing her two sides, good and bad, fighting each other and getting encouragement from the few friends she has made or maybe even her sisters.
Like Jack got from his family when he was being consumed.
>>
Jack won't go back to the past. Doing so would fuck over his waifu, and subsequently his sword of moralfaggotry would get mad and peace out again. Based on what Jack has had to sacrifice, the sword seems to hate the idea of "the ends justify the means"
>>
>>92450390
Most people still do.

I get the argument for why he shouldn't get back, but it doesn't really work considering Ashi wasn't in the whole series and if thatsbthe justification for not getting back, it will literally just be a made up plot device at the last second.

It's bad writing. Period.
>>
>>92450426
It also makes the whole series a ruse.
Getting back is still the best option.
>>
>>92450390
How's he supposed to get back with no time portals left?

I think people are trying to say that Jack not getting to the past wouldn't be the worst outcome.
>>
>>92450305
>>92450324
It's true though. If he goes back then he essentially undoes everything good that he's done and undermines all of the people he's saved.

>>92450329
>>92450367
Problem is that we'll never see that future. It is essentially a big reset button that makes every experience pointless. Again, we had half an episode about how much of an impact Jack has had on the world and how many people are grateful to him.

What do we have if he goes back to the past? His parents that we barely know and a bunch of stuff about how he saved created a new future where none of what he did matters.

And no, it's not just about Ashi. It's about the world we see versus the world we don't. It's like if a character saves someone we actually know versus a bunch of nameless, faceless people.
>>
>>92450380
Honestly i could see this happening. Especially if Jack reminds her about THE KISS
>>
>>92450456
Time portals are not the only way back to the past.

Plus, time portals can be created.
>>
>>92450380
You're not that insane since I've seen numerous people suggesting this.
If it happens it will probably accidental and only discovered when Ashi tries to kill herself since she knows Jack can't do it himself. She says what she thinks is good by, stabs into herself, and is wounded by it deals a lot more damage to Aku.
>>
He won't go back you retards.

>he would have to kill young weak Aku that doesn't even know what Jack went through, zero tension

It's pretty obvious he will stay, the throwback episode already made it very clear that Jack doesn't need to go back to heal the world.

This.

Gennedy just said it is a metaphor for Jack trying to be the person he was (recovering from trauma by becoming the Old You).

But, as anyone who has ever suffered anything, you can't go back.
>>
There are three likely options.

>1. Jack loses. Ashi goes back to the past.

>2. Jack wins. He stays in the future with Ashi.

>3. Jack wins. Ashi dies. Jack goes back to the past.

All three have sacrifice but give the show somewhat of a proper ending. 2 is probably the worst since it's more of a conclusion to just season 5 and not the show as a whole, but it's plausible.
>>
what if jack goes back in time, kills aku, but is still immortal, and so he lives to see the future again

Bro hes not going back. There are no time portals and Aku is the only person in the show to have portal creation power. Whats he gonna do give Jack a portal when hes dead?

Not even him but if you've watched the show you know that over half the methods of time traveling shown don't even utilize time portals.

If the show was presented dofferently, that would make sense, but it would be pretty bad writing to throw in that at this point.

It's going to be exactly like Bolvar and the Lich King.

The sword is based on the legendary story of murasame/masamune. Basically two fags had a contest to make the best sword, they're both equally sharp, but one is considered evil/inferior because it cuts everything without prejudice while the other sword is superior because it allows innocent things that don't need to be cut to pass by the blade unharmed. The moral is that collateral damage is bad or whatever, to try to discourage jackass samurai from killing peasants. IRL samurai didn't give a fuck

>>
>>92450491
I actually think past-Aku would be a tougher opponent. If Jack is thrown into the past by Ashi or even Aku then he's gone back when he's probably already exhausted. Aku would be more in the mindset of he must win because he's still working on securing his control over the world. Past-Aku was never in any...

Btw, that "gotten get back" thing is an echo of the original opening. I am honestly thinking you people just want him to go back because you've just got it set in your minds that he has to.
>>
>>92441602
Lol no.
>>
>>92450583
3 is the best option.
If Jack stays in the future, it SHOULD NOT be to stay with Ashi because then that means Ashi was literally an OC plot device crafted at the end of the show's run to give him an excuse to stay when for 90% of the show she wasn't even there.

People keep misunderstanding. It's not that he has to go back, it's the reasons for why he should stay or go back that matter. If they use Ashi as a made up scapegoat for staying, that's a terrible move.

Ashi has been more important than Jack himself this season, no matter what happens you can be sure that she will be the reason.

4. Jack and Ashi both lose. Aku wins.
>>
Okay I have a question. Let's say Ashi is killed and Jack gets his sword back and comes face to face with Aku and once again Aku has no where to turn.
What's to stop Aku from just opening yet another time portal and flinging him even farther into the future.
Also, why hasn't he already done this?

There's Sheen tha Bitchy Queen!

>>92450886
Problem is that if the former happens people will be mad as fuck because they'll say he only stayed because of Ashi. See >>92450851

There's really no scenario where Ashi lives that will satisfy /co/. The only way for that to happen at all is if.

1. She dies
2. He goes back to the past
3. The Guardian shows up alive for no reason

The point of that episode was
1. A nostalgia episode for longtime fans
2. To demonstrate to Ashi the good Jack has done

I'm not one of these "OMG HE HAS TO GO BACK OR ITS RUINED" fags, but the point of that episode was in no way to support Jack staying.
>>
>>92450786

Idk, the shit has been inconsistent

My guess is that the sword can cut whatever, but it just so happened that the goats caught him in a moment of extreme anger and frustration, thus Jack lost control and quickly became unworthy
>>
>>92450972
who said i was surprised? of course im not, please fix your reading comprehension otherwise dont quote me...regardless it was to be expected that everything would fall downhill once tumblr migrated with their jashi shipping nonsense that ruined the series in the first place.
>>
>>92450978
but at the time jack wasnt expecting it, he'd have far more experience with Aku the moment he returned to the past than he did when he was flung into the future
>>
>>92450928
It seems that Jack not aging is somehow tied to Aku. If that's the case then as long as Aku lives then Jack will not age.
Putting Jack in another time changes nothing except maybe the setting for their battle. Once Aku is defeated then maybe Jack will continue aging (Or suddenly gain 50+ years of age - I hope not)

>Jack and ashi both attack Aku together with the sword in a flurry of blows

Now we can have 2 endings you guys decide which is better

Ending 1: Before the final blow is struck, Aku Twos open a portal in time, and flings them into the future. Where his evil is law Now the fool seeks to return to the past, to undo the future that is Aku

Ending 2: Right as Jack swings the final blow, Aku turns into a bat and flies away while proclaiming, ILL BE BACK AGAIN SAMURAIIII YOULL SEEEEEE, HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HA HA HA HAH AHH AH AHAAAAAA

Which is better
>>
>>92451063
>How much is Ashi's survival tied to effecting whether Jack goes back or not?
Extremely.

If Ashi dies, Jack's odds of going back to the past fucking skyrocket.
If she lives, the inverse is more likely.
>>
>>92451048
>gendy not knowing how to end the series properly.
this is sadly true bc unfortunately episode 8 was wasted on ashi...could have been actual progression for the plot but no, blame ashi or rather genndy. also the jashi shippers who like that kind of garbage,
>>92451063
ashi isnt going to stop jack from going back to the past you dimwit. hes not going to drop his life time goal for a girl hes met for maybe not even a week....,, oh who am i kidding? of course he will because genndy is a fucking hack at this point.
>>
>>92451004
As far as narrative goes it could, because it shows us the world. It shows us people and places that were impacted by him. If he goes back to the past, what happens to all of that? It just ceases to exist?

It's like the equivalent of someone saving a world that the audience has grown up with versus a world we saw for a few minutes.
>>
The main theme is literally "Gotta get back, back to the past"

Of course he's going to go back in time.
>>
Jack will die.
Ashi will kill Aku and become the eternal Mary Sue, saviour of worlds.
>>
>>92451063
Ashi lives, Jack stays with her.
Ashi dies and Jack is presented with a portal, he goes back and saves her.
>>
>>92451074
everything here is awful
>>
>>92450928
The time portal thing was portrayed as a last ditch longshot that Aku did out of desperation, like a hail mary in the final 5 seconds of the 4th quarter. Yeah he could try it again, but it probably won't work
>>
>>92451023
Or maybe because of Time Travel he's now out of sync and just cannot age while in the Future. Aku is defeated and yet he still does not age.

So if Ashi lives then eventually he'll have to see her die while he cannot.

If she lives, Jack will probably stay. If she dies he'll probably go back
>>

Pretty much this. He'll go back far enough to save her and that's it.

Jack is greeted by Time Squad who send him back to the past. Episode ends with adult swim announcing an AS reboot of Time Squad. yfw

>>92450089
He won't. He'll have to move on, learn to cope, and rebuild. I'm almost certain he won't get back to the past.
>>
>>92451091
Episode 8 wasn't really about Ashi though. I get that Ashi is to blame for everything bad but all it really did was give some development to their relationship in order to add more weight to what happened in the next episode.

It's not that we don't want to. He probably won't. As long as he gets a happy ending, It's the same for me if he gets back to the past or becomes king Jack and rebuilds what Aku destroyed.
>>
>>92451067
Have you even looked at this thread or hell, anywhere on the internet? Ashi is probably one of the most hated characters in history. Nearly everyone not only wants her to die but they want her entire existence undone, which is what happens if he goes back to the past, aka the ending everyone wants. She's already destroyed the series enough you fucking piece of shit.
>>
>>92451114
If he finds a portal then he could also take Ashi with him to the past where they can age together.
The whole not aging thing still hasn't been addressed in its entirety so it could go numerous ways both good and bad.

What happens if Jack does go back into the past? Does he encounter himself or is his past self not there since he was thrown into the future?
Goddam plots involving time travel are complicated.

The opposite problem is also true now though. Now he HAS to go back to the past, or else everyone will say he didn't because of Ashi and ONLY Ashi, even if there is no way for him to even go back.

I'm kinda thinking that the only reason everyone keeps saying the ending will be ruined if he doesn't go back to the past is because you don't think he will, and that gives you the perfect excuse to bitch.

That's a hilariously huge leap. Given the positive reception of the season, the opposite seems more likely. Also it is pretty much impossible to statistically determine something in an anonymous board, since samefagging is so common and the number of people on threads is so inconsistent.

then you are living in denial, thats the truth. ashi is very hated amongst the samurai jack fandom and liked by few. those who DO like her are only it in for the sex appeal and shipping. this is a matter of fact.
>>
>>92451287
I mean, nothing really stopped him in the past though, he did destroy one portal to free those archer dudes, but later he very quickly dove into the portal at the top of the mountain, after the sheep lead him to it, so it's not like the friends he made along the way are keeping him there

He won't go back, not because of Ashi but because there's really no way to go back.

The point of Ashi is to give him a reason to continue living after defeating Aku and that's what the whole season has been building up to.

Love some sources for that.
Yeah I ship her and Jack but that was only watching them together, before that I realized Ashi had more to her and thought she would be a good ally to Jack and nothing more.
>>
I think you guys need to watch Samurai Jack a but more.
I've watched the series probably four times all the way through. I keep trying out this theory that he doesnt need to go back. I keep tossing it around in my head. I understand the argument behind it, how its all metophorical. But if you really watch the show from beginning to the end of season 4, it doesn't hold up. There's no ruby slippers bullshit theme present here.
Jack's father is enslaved. His people are dead and dying. Jack comes SO close to winning and oops, Any sent him into the future. Every single episode reminds us of this in one way or another. Sometimes very subliminaly.
This is repeated further in season 5: "Aku's grasp chokes the PAST, PRESENT, and FUTURE". All injustices that need to be undone.

I get it, I really do. Getting back is the cliche thing to do, but it's much more proper for Ashi, a character introduced at the end of the show, to be the collateral damage for Jack going back, rather than the entire purpose of the show being the damage and the the last minute character just throwing the whole thing through a loop. Maybe if Ashi had shows up earlier it would have made sense. But here it really doesnt.

We also have no idea how the final episode will play out. We know the Scottsman will play a roll, but where does it even take place? I have a feeling we are all in for a surprise.

Maybe he never even gets the option to go to the past? Did you ever think that maybe there won't be some portal that opens up in the finale? Or maybe it's a similar situation to with the Archers, where he can use the portal but it'll somehow fuck things up for everyone else there? It could be that he could go back but that would doom the current timeline. He's given up going to the past before for the sake of others after all.

But since Ashi exists, there is no scenario where he doesn't go back to the past that would work for you.

Just a casual reminder that Jack's purpose in life is to rid the world of the evil that is Aku, not to go back to the past.

If you think about it, it's really weird. Why make Jack ageless? Why make it 50 years ahead? The story up to now could be exactly the same if it was 10 years ahead.

>>92451439
I understand all that but I also think Ashi plays the role of giving Jack a little bit of dilemma.
If he does find a way back, will he take it? His family is long gone and he has changed since they have last seen each other. Will he go back to the past and learn to re-accustom to that world, abandoning the world that he has lived in longer and made friendships in?
Jack himself says all he has are happy memories and maybe that's what he will decide he needs. He knows his family is gone but he also knows how much people he has helped and that his ancestors will look proudly upon him for conquering the demons in the world and inside of him.

Ashi was like Jack was at the very beginning, confused by the world and amazed by everyday things. Jack relied on kind strangers and exotic civilizations to learn the future world's customs and workings. Comparatively, Jack served as Ashi's guide to helping her understand the world. She's already helped bring Jack back to the past, by improving his whole mindset and allowing him to discuss the memories he has.
>>
>>92451339

>>92451529
>why
Because it allows for a change of tone without feeling too out of place, everything else like the daughters and the fact that Aku can't just wait him to die of old age is secondary.

Enough talk.
>>
>>92451529
It looks like it seems to be tied to his sword. He's the one chosen to wield it so if he ages and dies then who will be the champion to defeat Aku?
Jack regained his sword and the favor of the Gods so he may have resumed aging already.
>>
>>92451597
>those surveymonkeys?
thats very, very irrelevant and the fact you bring that up almost makes me want to discard your opinion but im giving you hope.
ashi is very disliked, this is one of the many threads that prove it. those who like her are usually the same 1-3 people, and some trolling. ashi is not a great character. you only like her for sex appeal and shipping purposes as i said before. people also dont like her outside of 4chan. as im sure you're aware, a majority tumblr hates her. youtube comments dislike her, only using her for memes. and everywhere else.
>>
>>92451597
Its just Faggy Shaggy and Sheen tha Bitchy Queen shitposting
>>
>>92451638
The Gods probably paused Jack's aging so he could find his sword, no matter how long it took. He lost it for 50 years after all.
>>
>>92451439
THIS SO FUCKING MUCH.

Jack HAS to go back. IF he doesn't go back it will literally be the worst ending to anything ever, and you know it'll be solely because of Ashi. Ashi should die and be erased from existence. Jack going back is the only thing that has ever or will ever matter, and for a bonus it will have prevented the worst character ever written from existing. If this doesn't happen it'll be the worst ending to anything ever no matter what.

It's not even about Ashi or the scotsman or anything. He literally, physically has no means of going back to the past at this point. Him staying seems like the most likely option. Although we'll probably get some closure with Jack meeting the ghosts of his parents or something. You're setting yourselves up to another guardian disappointment.

Episode 6 already showed that Jack's actions changed the world for the better.
Now you just have to kill Aku and let the world heal, going back would just be a cheap cop out at this point and there's too much personal involvement from Jack and the audience to just undo everything.

Genndy said he was going to give us "an ending you didn't know you wanted". It that doesn't mean Jack says fuck it to the past I dunno what does
>>
they will defeat Aku, she will realize she has the power to make portals being part aku, they will both go back to the past together and defeat Aku again there. The Gods appear to congratulate him and address that the future timeline still existing separately then Jack is reunited with his family then cut to years later where he is the new Emperor of Japan, married to Ashi and explaining the story of Aku to their children with the sword on some stand behind them. THE END!
>>
>>92452046
>whole purpose of the show
What is the purpose of the show? Most of the episodes never had anything to do with actually trying to go back to the past, it's just a setup for cool adventures of a samurai dude in the future and Genndy already implied a hundred fucking times that he won't go back.
>>

>>92452160

>>92452109
The poll was not to determine why people like/dislike Ashi. I made it directly as a response to an anons claim that she is "arguably one of the most hated character in history".
For accuracy's sake I posted it In almost every other samurai Jack thread before I posted it here.

You know, during this season Jack hasn't even mentioned once the idea of going back to the past (not counting the intro). In the first and second episodes, both Jack and Aku seem convinced that there is no way home and he's stuck there forever. And even after recovering his will and his sword, he still won't try to get back , he only wants to destroy Aku. The past is only a memory now. If his depression was caused by being unable to go back, and he has managed to overcome that, wouldn't getting back to the past defeat the purpose of his arc?. It would be like trying to rise above the death of someone close to you only for them to resurrect some time later.

Samurai Jack was never about complex narratives, just straight forward ones being told well through visual cues. Ideally I would like for future Aku to follow them through the portal to merge with his past self, become that full God mode again and Maybe the gods give her a magic Naginata like Jack's sword then they have an epic battle because that would eliminate the need for two Aku fights and be epic but with only one episode left I don't know if there's time

>>92450470

Why suicide, Jack's arc was about not killing himself and giving up. At best he might sacrifice himself to destroy Aku since there are no time portals left.

I can totally see everyone he saves gather around the location of his last battle and bury him as the ultimate hero.
>>
>>92451091
>hes not going to drop his life time goal for a girl hes met for maybe not even a week
But that's exactly what he did you moron. He put down the sword, instead of killing her and Aku. He did put her above his "lifetime goal", and he was right to do so.

That's not just about Ashi. I think the whole point about the three goats episode was that. Jack cannot allow himself to kill innocents for the sake of reaching Aku. It's always been a higher priority than defeating evil, and the sword left him when he fucked that up.
>>
>>92454824
I'll give you that. But it was 90% about not killing the Ashi poon.

>>92454849
I just don't think it's about "love". Jack knows Ashi is good, killing her would be like Luke killing Darth Vader. It would play exactly in Aku's hands. Heck I can imagine the sword shattering if that happened or something.

People seem to forget the mountain rams, and how killing them when corrupted by Aku got his sword taken away.

It's the same situation but this time with Ashi. She's an innocent corrupted by Aku. Killing her would remove his sword again and he'd powerless in the presence of Aku.
>>
>>92454716
That's because they don't seem to understand what character development is and that Jack went through an emotional hell for 50 years.
This whole season was to set up closure for Jack, who finally seems to made peace with not going back to the past but fighting Aku, which was his purpose from the start. The portals were always a side mission which he prioritized until he actually had to fight Aku or help the innocents, which he always did at the expense of a portal.

Honestly, is it so hard to understand a motive of a story and narrative? Does Genndy need to spell it out with big tiger letters that Jack isn't an automaton and that things have moved on?
>>
>>92455024
yep, see >>92454824

>>92455024
Killing them wasn't the problem. The problem was giving in to rage and anger. If he calmly analysed the situation and still concluded that killing them was the right thing, the sword would have no problem with that.

Of course. He gave in to rage and did the wrong thing. Killing wasn't the problem, not when done as a last resort, or the gods wouldn't have given the sword back after killing 6 of the 7 Daughters of Aku (which were innocents after all).

The sword would probably allow it, but Jack's conscience would not. The goat incident crushed him with guilt, and even with the Daughters of Aku he felt so ashamed he started violently hallucinating.

I just said a very long prayer to both moot and Hiro. This post is blessed.
The last two digits of this post will determine the ending.

>01 - 05
Jack saves Ashi and defeats Aku. They both go back to the past together and live happily ever after

>06 - 10
Jack defeats Aku, but Ashi is killed because of this. Ashi uses her Aku power to create a time portal. Jack goes back to the past.

>11 - 15
Both Jack and Aku are slain. Ashi goes back to the past.

>16 - 20
Jack saves Ashi and defeats Aku. The two live together in the future.

>21 - 25
The Scottsman's ghost goes back to the past, permanently seals Aku, and rules Japan. Jack and Ashi live together in the future.

>26 - 30
Jack, Ashi, and Aku all perish.

>31 - 35
Jack defeats Aku and saves Ashi, but goes too far back into the past to the Jurassic period. Gotta get forward. WACHA!

>36 - 40
Jack saves Ashi and defeats Aku before going back to the past. History is altered and Ashi seems monuments in service to the samurai.

>41 - 45
Jack and Aku form a truce.

>46 - 50
Jack goes back to the past but Aku follows. The two Akus merge into a super Aku that fights Jack inbetween time. Jack wins but is stranded back in the future.

>51 - 55
Cliffhanger ending. Show is renewed for season 6.

>56 - 60
>cliffhanger ending. Show is never renewed

>61 - 65
Jack slays Aku and takes his place.

>66 - 70
Scaramouch is still alive. Delivers the final blow on Aku. Sends Jack and Ashi back to the past.

>71 - 75
Jack wins, Ashi dies, Jack chooses to stay and rule as a king.

>76 - 80
Jack wins, Ashi lives, Jack chooses to stay and rule as a king. When Ashi dies, Jack goes back.

>81 - 85
Aku send Jack further into the future. The cycle starts over.

>86 - 90
Ashi's death corrupts Jack. He rules in Aku's place.

>91 - 95
Jack goes back to the past but ages quickly and dies soon after.

>96 - 00
Aku wins.

That's actually pretty likely

>>
>>92441602
It depends.

Do you want Jack to get back to the past? Then no, she won't be ok.

Of course, it's very possible she lives, but that makes it highly likely that Jack will stay in the future, which isn't necessarily a bad thing as long as Aku is defeated.

>Jack, Ashi, Scotsman and friends go to the annual Burton World Headquarters annual end of season sale over on Shelburne Road

>Spend the whole episode protecting one another and preparing for war innawoods
>it turns out just to be a couple of stoners from Battery Park or something silly like an annoying hipster making an independent film or something silly like that

>Jack and Ashi get into an argument and dare one another to take part in the annual Penguin Plunge (charity event where you jump into the icy depths of Lake Champlain to raise money)

>>92459060
In her defense, Jack took off without even telling her. And i can say from experience that you DON'T DO THAT SHIT. Especially if she's very protective over you.

>>92459060
>>92459264

I don't think Jack could bring himself to just outright say 'I'm leaving, don't follow me,' since it would mean articulating his feelings, something both of them seem a bit intimidated by.

I'm not sure how he expected it to work, though. Ashi had shown herself to be imminently capable of tracking Jack down. Perhaps, subconsciously, he hoped she would follow.

>>92460040
Not gonna lie, pregnant Ashi gives me a massive rager.
>>92460040
The issue with the kids was he was in complete shock and genuinely thought he had killed them. That was what pushed him over the edge and why he willingly went with Death.
>>
>>92460040
As for leaving Ashi behind, he genuinely loves her and doesn't want to risk losing her.
>>
>>92460123
This, he absolutely would have no issue committing to her as soon as he kills Aku.
>>
>>92446527
In my case he definitely succeeded. I am in love with Samurai Jack, specially after the fifth season. It's going to be really harsh bidding it goodbye; at least I'll be able to do it surrounded by other anons.

I've been considering writing down some fan episodes myself just for fun. I had this idea about Jack meeting a Heracles rip off who is a very famous hero with a huge temper problem who ends up doing more harm that good and Jack tries to put him in the right path to being a real hero rather than a guy with anger problems who half the time punches the right people and the other half doesn't.

Well she is obviously going to die but i'm not sure when of course. Either she dies in the next ep (not likely) or they will give Jack this warning that if he kills Aku, Ashi will have never existed.

>Well she is obviously going to die
lol no
The whole point of Ashi is to give Jack some reason to live in the future world now that he will never go back to the past.
It's much more likely that Jack will die after killing Aku and Ashi will continue his "legacy" so to speak, fixing the world and getting rid of the rest of the bad guys.

Jack going back to the past is completely out of the picture.
>>
>>92461096
How does the Scotsman's army fit into this?
>>
>>92461388
They will show up in the final fight to help against Aku's minions or something, the Scotsman isn't important to the plot.

>>92461439
Mainly fan service? The Scotsman's army does allow for more cameos after all.

I truly was not expecting Mako's voice to come out of this alarm clock, and his Aku voice no less
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQ3A-W3wr5s
>>
Alright listen up. I just watched Season 3 Episode 4 the one with the zombies or also known as the episode when Aku has Jack's sword when he uses it against Jack he's unable to use it against him because the sword was "forged in purity and strength" and cannot harm an innocent "in the hand of evil".

SO with this in mind my theory is Aku basically can't do shit with the sword even if he tried to kill Ashi himself it will probably just destroy the outer evil layer on Ashi and since Ashi is now on the good side but still evil in her somehow Jack may be able to destroy the evil in her but still keep her alive.

Or some deus ex machina shit will occur when Jack is super desperate. All in all it feels like there's way too much for everything to be covered in 20 minutes unless they extend it.
>>
>>92465156
Apparently the Duck Dodgers show runners were legitimately fans of Samurai Jack. The Samurai Quack episode even has Genndy voice a character based on him.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyqlFrIiWDQ
>>
>>92465499
It would be somewhat hilarious if Aku, trying to punish Jack for fighting back, tried to kill Ashi with the sword and only released her.

Then again, Ashi seems to be in actual agony from the sword's blow. I don't think fighting or stabbing will save her.
>>
>>92465499
Its either

A: Ashi, while still corrupted and being forced to watch her father torture the man she loves, will grab the sword and stab herself with it thinking it will end the pain of watching her true love suffer only to be purified and unharmed thus being able to free Jack

OR

B: Jack tries his best to reach her through all the time they spent together before admitting the kiss from Episode 8 was genuine and finally admitting that he does in fact love her the same way she loves him
>>
>>92465614
Aku has never had the best hindsight
>>
>>92465742
You know what I just realized? Jack convincing Ashi to fight back might be very parallel to The Omen scene in Episode 6 as the entire time, Ashi was convincing Jack to fight back committing seppuku. Jack faces his inner demons, now Ashi has to face hers.
