Samuri Jack Finale spoilers

How in the hell is that dog still alive?

How much of a sienfield-esq finale is it? I'm worried about them trying to cram in as many old references in the final showdown as possible.

>>92519832
If true...THEN WHAT THE FUCK WAS THE POINT

wow, i was prepared to be disappointed, but not this bad.
fuck this

>>92519832
Does the forest midget from the flashback episode return?

>>92519832
I'm gonna laugh so hard if this is true. It renders so much shit pointless, including the entirety of season 5

>>92519866
>I'm worried about them trying to cram in as many old references in the final showdown as possible.
it sounds like the final showdown barely occurs

>>92519832
>No Jashi
I'd be mad

I feel like it should have been 15 episodes.

>>92519832
>I've seen the episode.
>Read at your own risk.
Yeah sure, I believe you

>>92519832
I am genndy and its all wrong:
Real ending coming through

>"I can't be defeated! I'll be back next eclipse!"

Then how defeated in any time?

>>92520038
>Yes. Briefly. No demongo tho.

Is it revealed who she is?

>>92520038
How did you see the episode early?

>>92520061
A lot of people that work in CN saw it today. That's how so many leak pics and details got posted throughout tge day even before this thread.

So if this is all true then whats the point of Demongo returning?

Do we get no explanation at all for his return?

So, what, no we're mad that Jack is going to the past?

>>92520105
Demongo was just a funny reference in the nostalgia episode

>>92520105
It was a joke anon.

>>92520038
>OP banned for not spoiler texting spoilers
Fucking kek.
Mods are Gods.

I hate leaks anyway. They ruin the fun.

>nine episodes of making us care for the Ashi character just to kill her off

Even after there was only one full episode of Jashi being confirmed? This can't be true. Though it does kind of make sense as this is the only way for Jack to get a portal.

op didn't see shit.

>>92520107
We held a poll yesterday. Literally almost everyone wants him to get back. It's just a few contrarian faggots that didnt

Why would Aku's defeat cause Ashi to die? He's her father but they are still separate beings.

>tfw the fucking ravers got more screentime than the scottsman.

I'm glad its fucking over.

>>92520228
Ashi is strictly season 5 material. The show as a whole is more important. Keep in mind that the only reason Ashi exists is because they got the rights to use adult swim and thus went for a more mature and longer plot. The original final season was just going to be a bunch of one-off episodes with a final battle against aku.

>>92520278
Magic

>>92520284
>he doesn't know

>>92520233
I knew the second he showed up it was just a joke, anon. It seemed obvious

>>92520278
Meme magic just like out the Scotsman is "alive". Genndy just making this up as he goes now.

This is fine.
I'm not sure what people were expecting, but given that they only have 22 minutes, this is fine.

>>92519832
Good to know Jack is still alive and with a son as well.
I didn't read all of it but I've seen all the leaked pics.

>>92519920
>Jack needs to get back to the past
>Jack spends 6 episodes turning Ashi from evil to good
>Ashi sends Jack back to the past
>"season 5 is pointless"
Nah. You're just being contrarian.

>>92520278
She's partly made of Aku's substance, isn't she? There are no established physics on how pure evil substance works anyways, so I guess it's up to Genndy to determine whether Ashi can survive the death of Aku or not.

>>92519832
Is this the CN anon who talked about Teen Titans Go ratings and stuff a while back?

>>92520529
Hard to say because it looks like the mods banned him like 5 minutes ago

If Ashi dies because of Aku being defeated, then Ashi will return in the next eclipse with Aku.

>>92520526
Going off of this, we don't even know what Aku is. He's basically a big evil tree

Wasnt this literally an anons theory in the spoiler thread

>>92519832
Bretty good ending but this season felt rushed and sloppy. Four seasons of wandering samurai then trying to cram all that lore with new characters and trying to finish the story in a single arc format which was never done before in this show with only 10 episodes was not a wise choice. I don't even think 13 episodes would fare much better.

>>92520640
Speak for yourself. Season 5 was dope

>>92520650
Agreed. We could nitpick until the cows come home but at the end of the day it was still one of the best seasons in western animation iv'e ever seen

>>92519832
The pics are real, but your ending is not.
Nice try, pastfag

>>92520666
whats the truth then?

>>92519832
Sounds pretty good desu

>>92520675
He doesn't know the truth, he's just getting triggered that OP is getting attention, regardless of whether he's legit or not.

>>92520675
He has no idea. Grabted OP might be lyong emtoo, but at least he's not butthurt about someone else getting YOUs like that guy is. Best to ignore him.

>>92520675
>>92520696
The pics were leaked this morning by the kametsu site. An app auto generates the leaks which are used for a preview of the episode or something.

The picture of the bridge in the leaks made me think that he does get back to the past because it looks Japanese. So yeah.

>>92520630
People have been speculating all week that Ashi can create time portals, yeah.

>>92519832
And why the hell should I believe this is true?

>>92520640
Yeah, season 5 was amazing. Although we all know this final is going to be roughly 25 mins. I think it should be an hour long. So it really goes out with a bang.

>>92520640
I disagree.

>>92520728
Based on the leaks it's highly likely he gets back to the past now. You can tell because the shitpostong about hoe he's not getting back suddenly came to a screaching halt today wehn the pics leaked

>>92520733
You shouldn't. The OP is a pastfag that put put his headcanons as a spoiler so people will believe him

>>92520675
The truth is: wait until 11:00 PM EST tomorrow .

>>92519832
>I've seen the episode.
Proof or it didn't happen.

>>92520733
You shouldn't, but you also shouldn't get triggered by it. Either speculate or move on.
Posting about "hrrr i don't believe you" is not constructive

>>92520762
Jack's not getting back to the past. The purpose of Ashi and Jack's friends to to show Jack there is still hope in Aku's future.

>>92520762
This.
I even know a past denier irl that basically gave up on that theory and admitted he's probably going back after the pics leaked.

>>92520808
The leaks pics don't even confirm anything to be honest.

>send him back anyway
>we apparently don't see his second fight with Aku
>Aku isn't even defeated for real

I'm disappointed.

>>92520594
He's a void of pure cosmic evil.

>>92520794
Nah, fuck Ashi. The whole point is to kill Aku and get back to the past.

Either Ashifags are getting BTFO or Pastfags are getting BTFO. It's highly unlikely both will get what they want.

One thing is for sure: Akufags are going to be BTFO either way. And that's all I care about.

>>92520834
It's fake Anon. The leaks were autogenerated for an app or something (leaked by a guy on kametsu) and leaks usually show only the first quarter to the first half of an episode.

>>92520834
This. No way this leak isn't bogus.

Bridge pic looks like Japan

The final fight with Aku is going to be a fucking dissapointment. We waited years for this shit.

Bad Writing 101

>>92520921
That's entirely possible, but it's pretty bad writing just for the sake of being "smart".

It basically says fuck it to the first 4 seasons in favor of an OC narrative made up for the 5th season.

>>92520881
The bridge leak was a background art by Scott Wills. It was one of the various backgrounds he showcased on his site. It was the only background not used yet. It could be just that; A custom background. But the tree looks like the one seen in Episode 5, just the forest is now grown over showing the world can heal itself over time after Aku

>>92520921
thats so fucking stupid
jashi a shit
a shit

>>92520861
>>92520879
I hope it is. I don't even mind the idea that Jack gets to go back, but it happening now would go against what the season has been establishing.

>>92520962
Of course it's stupid, but it is possible.

>>92520834
This.
OP's ending will be such a horrible ending

>>92520929
>>92520951
It was retconned because it didn't fit in-line with Genndy's current ending and when they made the episode, Genndy didn't really have an ending in mind until a few years after the show. The episode was added for fans to speculate since Samurai Jack originally wasn't given an ending or there wasn't time for it.

>>92520982
Could be worse.
Could be Jack and Ashi living together in the future becsuse of a plot thread that was made up just... just because.

Just like Scaramouche dying becsuse his character's role is over

>>92520985
Youre missing the point. Retconning is just bad writong plain snd simple.

>>92520985
Genndy basically wrote himself into a corner with The Guardian, so Genndy literally wrote himself out of that corner. Genndy never said The Guardian would appear, just his situation would be addressed which it was in Episode 9.

>>92520975
>but it happening now would go against what the season has been establishing.
no it wouldn't

>>92520985
I don't even disagree with you, but any retcon is a bad retcon. It really demonstrates bad oversight

We have known Genndy is a hack for a while now

>>92521007
>Could be worse.
Yea, but it's still fucking terrible. So much shit rendered pointless.

>>92521029
Yes it would. Nobody thought Jack would make it back to the past, there's only been a spike of "I told you so's" because of a picture of a bridge.

>>92521068
Season 5 is not pointless regardless of the ending. So i'm not sure what you're getting at.

>>92521068
Going back to the past would make all of Samurai Jack pointless. All of the future, friends, Ashi, Scotsman, everyone Jack has met would be erased from existence.

>>92521078
>Nobody thought Jack would make it back to the past
Notveverybody NEEDS him to, but most have expected him to

>>92521095
>Going back to the past would make all of Samurai Jack pointless
Um, no

>>92521095
he still has the memories
also its not pointless
he would save them all

>>92521007
Scaramouche was a shit character anyway

>>92521125
>he would save them all
Wouldn't the entire cast not exist

>>92521136
you take that back

>>92521095
>Going back to the past would make all of Samurai Jack pointless
Given that most of the series is episodic and that's the whole point of the series, no. You're wrong.
For every life Jack made better, Aku enslaved and killed Millions more. That's the whole point of "Aku's grasp chokes the PAST, PRESENT, and FUTURE"

>>92521021
>Retconning is just bad writing

What was even retconned anyways. The portal showed the guardian a possible future. Aku interfered and that future is gone. The past affecting the future is not a retcon, it's pretty much the opposite.

>>92521139
Of course they would still exist. They would grow up and be born into a time where Aku didnt reign. Their entire lives will be better off.

>>92520326
No, Season 5 is a five hour version of the Samurai Jack movie Genndy had intended to make all those years ago, but reworked to take advantage of the freedom producing a show for Adult Swim offered the concept.

I can confirm I am reddit user Li3ch_King. I am the one that posted the leaks to reddit. The tree background originally wasn't apart of the leaks, but it was still an unused background by Scott Wills that I speculated it COULD be apart of the episode. The tree looks exactly like the one from Season 5 Episode 5, just now the forest has fully grown over. It really could be a custom background made by him to be honest.

>>92521317
Bad writing

>>92521149
why would I lie?
he was annoying as fuck

>>92521317
cute
i'd be okay with that I guess

The first 3 episodes were 10/10, after that the rest of the season was just ok, I really liked that Tea scene in the 7th episode, that scene would have been brilliant on its own without cutting to ashi kicking the shit out of that army. Honestly if jack had killed ashi in the third or 4th episode, the show could have moved on to be way better.

>>92521354
There is no way to end this with Jack going to the past that isn't bad writing.

>>92521414
If Jack goes back to the past, it makes the entire show pointless. Basically makes it all like a dream. Jack can at least live with and learn from his mistakes if he stays in the future.

>>92521414
there's no way to end this with jack staying in the future that isn't bad writing.

Is this an alt-right dream?

>>92521502
Everyone is going to be BTFO because there is no last episode, it's all been a ruse. We're just going to see 22 minutes of a black screen.

The first four seasons were each made of fully independent episodes. By going back to the past Jack would render THE ENTIRE SERIES an independent episode in his wider life. You wouldn't have to know this particular episode to understand Jack, any more than you needed to sit down and watch the series in order to get it.

I just realized what Genndy is getting at. It's too fucking deep for me.

If Aku seriously isn't defeated once and for all, I will be annoyed to the point I won't watch the show ever again.[/spoiler[

bullshit. No way a Jack's son spinoff will be a thing.

>>92521630
It's fake, Anon. This Pastfag is using leaked pictures from earlier this morning and claiming to have seen the Episode. Nobody has seen the Episode yet because it is not out yet.

This is where the leaks come from: https://kametsu.com/topic/57130-cartoon-network-unofficial-previews/?page=7

They are auto-generated by an app. They are just that, previews of the Episode.

If Ashi doesn't live on then what they did with the last nine episodes has been pointless. There are other and better ways for Jack to get a portal other than making Aku's half demon daughter fall in love with him and make him a portal.

How is she pointless if she's the reason Jack can go back to the past?

Not to mention you'd be crying if she ended up surviving and staying with Jack, somehow.

So there's no pleasing you.

>>92521767
If Jack was going back to the past, they wouldn't destroy all time portals including The Guardian's to be honest.

>>92521767
Feels pointless because they spent so much time on her and put an emphasis on how Jack saved her and the people of the future. If OP is telling the truth they could have saved everyone the trouble and just have Aku lie about destroying all the portals.

>>92521861
That's because Ashi doesn't merge with Aku. Aku is most likely destroyed within a little over the first half of the Episode. The 2nd half is Ashi regaining control and the epilogue.

Jack and Aku gonna fuck confirmed

>>92521861
Can't tell if this is just Aku getting his head thingies (horns?) cut off or indeed a transformation of some sort.

Bagpipes obviously.

>sent during the time of Ancient Superpowers
>Atlantis, Mu, Lemuria

>>92521186
But that's not what a retcon is? It was adressed, and it wasn't contradicted because the future is only a possibility. Most episodes of the show could be removed without affecting the story, anyways.

>>92521317
that would be so incredibly awful

>>92519832
>Aku's defeat causes Ashi to slowly wither away. She uses her last breat to create a time portal.
How in the fuck does Ashi figure this out? She never knew about magic, so how is she able to tap into Aku's magic through bullshit? Why is she such a fucking mary sue?

>>92522405
It's bullshit, bud. Jack ain't going back.

>>92522405
Because a piece of Aku is part of her being and now she's actually aware that she has his powers.

It literally adds up and shuts down the Mary Sue accusations, considering it backs up her ability to take all that electricity and brute-force her way through the army. She has been tapping into strength she didn't know she had from her drive.

You know, it'd be worth it if all of those people going "lel virgins" got extremely assmad.

>>92520233
Why? Jack already thoroughly wrecked his shit. It's not like he would ever have a chance at round 2.

>>92520640
the only issues for me is that genndy deciding 10 episodes was enough was a mistake. Other than that, I've enjoyed this season.

They wouldn't build up ashi throughout the entire season and even make a romance between her and jack just to kill her off in the last episode.

Jack is not going back

>>92520834
This. Also he just stole images and complemented it with his own copypasta

>>92524676
More like he had to accept what Lazzo could give him.

>Jack is chained
>Aku announces on public broadcast his victory
>The Scotsman's army come and save Jack
>Jack is freed from his chains
>Aku is overwhelmed and defeated in battle
>Meanwhile Ashi fights her inner demons
>Ashi is purified of Aku's control
>Ashi and Jack now officially establish their new relationship
>With his new girlfriend Ashi and all the friends Jack has made, Jack decides to rebuild in the post-Aku future

7 human years = 1 dog years.

Dog is only ~8-9 years old.

I hope OP is full of shit

At this point I don't care if he goes back to the past or not, It will just really, really, REALLY, suck if Aku does not really die.

How will you react if Jack goes back to the past?

>>92525971
meh, 'cause then everyone he saved never existed, which will make Jack seem like an idiot because he wasted several opportunities to go back because someone is in danger.

Even if they would never exist, leaving them to die or vice versa isn't Jack's code.

The monks were prepared to sacrifice while he went back, he wasn't.

>>92526340
I know, and that kind of makes Jack an idiot. His sacrifice is meaningless if the people he saved no longer exist. In some ways death would be preferable, as at least they would still exist as a spirit.
If anything Jack and Aku need each other, but not in that way. They need to do a fusion dance. Jack gains Aku's practicality and planning, whereas Aku is no longer a raving genocidal looney.

>>92526696
We still don't know how time travel works, for all we know they can still exist, just in a happier world with no memory of Jack and the danger they were in never existing.

I don't care about none of this -- I just want my Jashi ending!

Little did he know about the Piccolo! No more eclipses!

....Before the 50 year timeskip, right? Jack would never have killed the other daughters of Aku during seasons 1-4, but now that he realizes that death helps the world go round, he could move forward and let things go more easily. Besides, saving the ones he met compared to the billions that were even denied a decent life would be pretty selfish. Usually those characters would be alive anyways, just happier since Aku has had no influence on them, maybe doing something different in their lives.

Then again, Jack already gave up his sword for Ashi, so maybe it is "fuck everybody else, all that matters is I'm happy".

lets be real here, there is no way this is gonna end anything other than going back to the past
