I have a feeling Aku is going to get overpowered and overwhelmed and defeated within the first half, and Ashi fights her inner demons in the 2nd half or something and the epilogue also happens in the 2nd half.

It will undoubtedly be shit if it is 22 minutes. If we get 44 then it could be salvaged.

Aku is more important than Ashi. If he dies in the first half, it's going to be an anticlimactic piece of garbage.

Aku and Jack define this series. It's all about them, if Ashi steals the spotlight, it's a shit conclusion that is going to be forgotten forever. But I guess any trash will pass on /co/, because le Samurai Ashi spinoff when???

Better than what was airing before though, that is to say- there are fucking no action cartoons anymore. I'd be happier about Jack existing at all in this climate if I were you.

Only if you expect perfection.

Just enjoy the finale, it'll be fine.

I don't understand why Samurai Jack fans are suddenly expecting quality writing and not just a bunch of cool action sequences. Does no one actually remember anything about this show?

>>92525896
people probably just hoping for a good time, sometimes just sitting back and taking what you're given doesnt make it a good time

>>92525933
That's the thing. I would have expected that Samurai Jack fans would have a good time with just action sequences and a plot that is nothing more than an excuse to make the action sequences happen because that's what Samurai Jack used to be. But now their wish comes true and the show comes back and it does exactly that and I hear nothing but complaints. The storytelling is bad? NO SHIT, GUYS!

>>92525423
It has high chance of being shit if you decide to hype up the ending which something I have not done.

>>92526036
You are right, there's no reason to hype it up. It's wiser to expect that it's going to be bad and not be surprised when you are right.

>>92526000
I guess it comes with the fact that the show is telling a new story with a new character who is for most of the season with Jack, and ultimately decides a lot for Jack, and with fewer episodes and so much to tie up, I think people got more than they really wanted.

I think that this season was overhyped to begin with though, not really shocking but this level of disappointment and complaints isnt really surprising either.

>>92525776
That is Aku's nature. He gets blown the fuck out at first but always comes back with some sort of sneaky Jewish trick.

>>92525423
Yup

>>92525423
It's already turned to shit anon

Bringing it back was a mistake.

A lot of the people watching never even seen Jack before.

>>92527658
Cause he's probably the most beloved character despite being pure evil. Because he's well written, he encompasses ALL evil, which includes being ridiculously petty and childish.

It makes him human and endearing.

The view count is well deserved for a shitty season.

>>92527658
He brings the most laughs and smiles than the rest of the cast. There's things about his personality that makes him lovable and relatable. Unfortunately, due to his nature, he makes everyone else's life a living hell.

I'm honestly hoping he wins because there should be literally nothing that can stop him at this point. Or at least just have him sealed away like before. He's probably gonna die though because, you know, villains always have to lose. It's like Wreck it Ralph syndrome.

It's going to be really really good, a spectacular conclusion to the series.

but you, like many on /co/ will say it is shit because it isn't your headcanon.

They should've end the series with Jack saying. "Yeh?!" and then "WATCHA!!"

>>92525896
Because newfags got overhyped because SJ is returning and never actually watched season 1-4 when they aired. They binged the first 4 seasons, thought they were "okay" and are disappointed that the new series isn't perfect and saving western animation.

These people also somehow just happen to remember things from the old series even though they happened 13 years ago, yet they expect us to believe that they aren't new to SJ.

If you go in just expecting more SJ, then you realise that Season 5 is basically just a really long finale episode and you also realise that it's fun to watch.

>>92531770
Season 5 is fanfiction at this point. Aku and Jack are the most important characters no matter what, so anything that changes that concept gets automatically shit.

Basically it forgets its purpose.

It really is at this point. Ashi is just literally a self-insert Mary Sue. Just as badass as Jack, becomes his girlfriend, is inexplicably the literal child of Aku. There's probably a fanfiction just like this out there somewhere, to a T.

>>92525423
Don't be too pessimistic.

Why does Jack refer to himself as Jack? His name isn't Jack he had a name before that, Jack was just something they called him when he first arrived.

"You some sort of Samurai, jack?"

That's what im saying. But the lone stranger himself doesn't call himself lone stranger, he's usually called these names by other people.

Jack is literally calling himself Jack. When HE knows his real name. It makes sense for others to call him "Samurai" or "Jack", because they no nothing about his background or his real name.

Aku never even called him "Jack" upon their first meetings, he always called him "Foolish samurai"

He originally thought it was some kind of bizarre future custom and was doing his best to try to respect it. By the time he figured out that it was just slang, the name had already stuck.

>>92532809
I don't know... it's a fucking cartoon.

>>92533084
When in Rome.

I suppose it IS a bit weird with Ashi, though. That True Name stuff is pretty big in romance, after all ("my friends call me Jack, but you can call me Mitori", etc).

>>92532359
>Just as badass as Jack,

Jack can literally swat her like a bug. As in a single backhand blow from him has the potential to snap her neck and fucking kill her instantly. Look at what happened to her sister.

Or look how long Ashi herself, with a weapon and the element of surprised, lasted against a wounded, suicidal, unarmed, naked, malnourished, holding-back Jack. It was about ten seconds.

>>92532359
>Just as badass
That's why he carried her around like a ragdoll and beat her in every fight they had
>becomes his girlfriend
Does it bother you the fact that she becomes his girlfriend or how they handled it?
>inexplicably the literal child of Aku
Do you even pay attention to the show you're criticizing?

>>92532921
He's been called Jack longer than he's been called by his birth name.

>>92533290
He is probably ashamed of his original name for the dishonor he brought it after being bested by Aku in the past.

>>92533671
>Does it bother you the fact that she becomes his girlfriend or how they handled it?
How they handled it. It was awkward and cringey as shit. And I already admitted my mistake about the daughter part.

>>92533559
Okay, maybe not exactly on his level, but she's still able to take out a literal army bare-handed.

I hope it is awful so all you samurai jack fags get btfo.

>>92533709
>How they handled it. It was awkward and cringey as shit. And I already admitted my mistake about the daughter part.

I can see where the complains come from. I still find it plausible enough. They're both's first; young love tends to be rushed. Also, they shared quite a few experiences together and came to really care for one another after numerous acts of selflessness for each other. Add in how attractive they both are, and you have a pretty solid recipe for romantic interest.

>>92533709
>It was awkward and cringey as shit.
It was awkward as hell, yes, but that's to be expected from two people who have done nothing but train to fight and kill their entire life. It's a lot of firsts for both of them, and firsts are always awkward. Nobody gets into dating completely seamlessly. Assuming you've had romantic experiences, you've surely seen this first-hand. I think it comes off very genuine and fitting for the characters. [spoilers]plus I think it's cute as fuck[/spoilers]

While that's a possibility, Jack would only be about in his 70's, so he could keep living.

>>92533709
>but she's still able to take out a literal army bare-handed.

This is just a logical extension of her even being able to function as a minor annoyance to a guy who can punch down stone pillars, block machine gun fire from multiple angles at point blank range, and leap dozens of meters in the air with 50 tons of boulder on his back.

>>92531556
this guy gets it - S5 was never meant to be the greatest thing since sliced bread, it was meant to be a satisfying finale to a series that never got a conclusion.

All I want to see in this finale is the people Jack met and helped banding together for a final assault, Jack defeating Aku, and some kind of cathartic ending where he either goes back to the past or accepts his new life in the future.

If that's what we get tonight, I'm going to be so fucking pleased.

>>92525423
