I don't get this. The fight had already happened with Past Jack, Aku only threw him into the future when he was about to be killed.
There was no reason for a fight because Aku had already lost.

Time travel is fucking impossible, so who knows. Some for of existential inertia, probably. I think Ashi was starting to die the moment Aku's castle crumbled.

>Super Rushed Aku fight

You had an entire episode based on fighting Aku, his minions and Akashi

The only problem with the Past-Aku fight was it wasn't satisfying enough, seeing Aku run away like a little bitch was great, but that final hit should've had more OOMPH

The only real answer.
>>
>>92557152
Jack got a raw fucking deal in the end. Spent more time in the future than the past so his homeland and culture probably feel foreign to him now.

But then again, it was always clear that Jack cared most about getting back to what he knew, so I doubt he really cares all that much.

Face it, anon, he wanted to get home. He wanted that more than anything else, even if it meant erasing everyone he met in the future.

Like I don't give a fuck about the Guardian and KingJack. I would've liked to see the Guardian get more of a nod than "I guess he died" but it's a really minor thing in the grand scheme of things.

He was erased. But if it took time like it did for Ashi then he probably murderfucked everyone until he finally disappeared. Probably tentacle-raped all of the Scotsman's daughters until they exploded in sheer primal fury and hate.

But seriously, why the fuck didn't he make his own portal and go back to stop Jack from killing him?

yo i liked the end u guys r fags with no concept of subtlety lol. jack clearly left the empire after the Royal Wedding as hes not wearing his given uniform and went on back to just wandering the land again as a samurai. likely protecting ppl like normal. and no clarification that his aging process had been fixed. he'll always continue helping people. and the fact that its suggested that ashi was reincarnated as a ladybug means that everyone has an opportunity to return but perhaps in a little different way. so they werent fucking erased like some of you think they were you stupid shitheads LMAO. its fucking brilliant and you artless cartoon faggots would never understand because you never written anything meaningful before and you cant conceptualize how the process of it works and only doubt the authors integrity cause of ur stupid asses LMAO. so dumb. i pity u n00bs. fucking SUck it LOOOOL

I'm not big into SJ, but surely there's more to them than just being asspulls? As in, that magic bagpipe can't just be something out of nowhere that magically repelled arrows, can it?

And is it established that literally nothing but the sword could harm Aku? Not even a little?
>>
>>92561354
We never got an episode or some sort of montage showing Aku practicing how to use his powers.

But again, that's generally the case when it comes to villains that are the essence of evil.

Nope. Xeno destroys the entire timeline, leaving nothing but a void. Trunks and Mai were the only native members of that timeline to survive. They get sent to another timeline. (there's a joke that they weren't sent to another timeline but were infact teleported then destroyed by whis and beerus because at the end of the day they still committed inter-dimensional treason which is fucking kek.

He rose, coughing, meager flecks of digested rice spraying from his mouth, an acrid burning sensation the reminder of his latest binge drinking.

Disgraceful.

If A--- saw him now.

Asu?

Azu?

Ami?

He couldn't remember.

He COULDN'T REMEMBER HER NAME.

That settled things.

He cleaned himself best he could, went out, staggering but stable enough, and, though he fell once or twice, he found it.

The wakizashi was pitted with cuts and nicks from it's service in war, but it was still sharp. It would work for what he intended.

Removing it from it's case, he staggered back to his room. His throat burned with foul vapor from vomiting and crying, begging for water. Or sake.

No more drinking. No more anything.

"I've earned this."

Hadn't he EARNED IT?

After a lifetime of misery and pain and fighting, and watching the one woman you want fade from existence, and the gods that have sent you on a suicide mission say NOTHING, not to her leaving, not to your cursing, NOTHING...

Wasn't a samurai defeated by life itself allowed to decide enough was enough? He'd beaten a demon. He'd earned a reprieve.

He knelt, facing the moon. Pale, soft.

Like ----.

He wrote a quick, final farewell.

new moon rising
---
love disappears forever
---
Goodbye

He was never good at Haiku. Oh well. What could be expected of a drunk, grieving husband?

"I've earned this." he repeated as he sank to his knees, raising the blade high.

He thrust down-

Nothing is supposed to be able to do any harm whatsoever to Aku other than the sword. Anything else is bullshit. I think. Honestly, if you go back to The Birth of Evil the gods have weapons that hurt Aku in his crawling chaos form so maybe other shit can do it but its not well explained.

The amount of power she gets is stupid I agree. Also, how does she know that she can use those powers. That is, unless, Aku's possession also gave her that knowledge, like muscle memory or some shit
>for some fucking reason something besides the sword is actually harming Aku
I think it was less that Aku was harmed by Ashi, and more that he was surprised that Ashi was able to break free and counter his every attack. I guess it is reasonable to think that his own power could harm himself, but again, Ashi shouldn't be as strong as Aku

If Ashi had to have time catch up to her, doesn't that mean Jack's 50+ years of living will catch up to him?
I'd have rather this season not have been made with this shit finale

>>92561676
To be fair, he didn't do anything selfish, Ashi was the one who spat open a portal and grabbed Jack the instant she realized she could.

And Jack doesn't know how time travel works, anyway. Obviously.

One million years have passed.
But, I do not age.
Time has lost its effect on me.
People come in and out of this world, like a flicker of light. Sometimes it seems almost instant. Blink and you'll miss them.
This world changes and grows, like an ever spinning kaleidoscope. Nothing stays where it should.
But humanity has endured. Nature has endured. Honor has endured. Righteousness has endured. Countless times, I have forced them to endure. Countless times, I have brought them back from the brink. And I will do whatever is necessary to save them countless times more.
Different people evolve, degenerate, or die off. Animals are new one moment, extinct the next. Yet I stay the same. I am a universal constant.
I don't understand what I am protecting anymore. Culture is unrecognizable. These people around me can no longer communicate with me. Or perhaps they don't care to. But I know what is right. I know human righteousness is alive and well.
And I know this world will always need me, as long as corruption exists. This world will always exist, and so will I. No matter how hard it tries to get rid of me.

Yea, it was already stated that the antispirals WERE once spirals that pretty much got taken over by the power given to them by spiral energy. Simon can't go down that path, it's established that it is a slippery slope because they literally just defeated an enemy that straight up as a glimpse into their future if they abuse the power.

Bringing back the dead opens a can of worms that can't be closed. What's to stop him from bringing Kamina back, by that point? Or Kittan? Or Lord Genome? Wouldn't he be selfish by that point? He can't bring back everyone else's loved ones. Everyone else has to deal with the death of those they care about. He can't use his powers to solve all of his issues, because he will be consumed by it.

It isn't an asspull because it's already given to you in the series, and it makes sense. He used his powers to save the universe and reclaim the planet. That's it, that's the end of what he'll use them for. It's why he becomes a nameless hobo in the end and straight up says he's a nobody when the kid asks him who he is.

All of those characters suffered greatly for ages before Jack came and ended their strife, and that doesn't include the countless number that knew nothing but suffering before Jack had even arrived in the future.
Yes, he erased the ones we knew and loved, but he also ensured that all creatures of the universe would never experience the lifetime of torment that was Aku.
I have no doubt in my mind that every one of them would have urged Jack to erase their very existence if it meant that all who came before them didn't have to share the burden's they had.

"YOU WOULD END IT?" Odin demanded.

"AFTER EVERYTHING?" Asked Rama.

"YOU SURVIVE THE IMPOSSIBLE YET SUCCUMB TO GRIEF?" Inquired Ra, puzzled.

"Yes, damn you! YES!" Jack roared, incensed at the interruption.

"Pain! Misery! Death! PAIN! MISERY! DEATH! EVERYTHING I TOUCH TURNS TO ASH! I CAN'T REMEMBER HER NAME! I CAN'T REMEMBER HER FACE ANYMORE! WHY-"

he fell, uncaring

"WHY-"

He wept, broken

"...how have I wronged you?"

Silence.

"I must have done something. Something horrible. For her to be taken, for my heart to be broken... whatever I did, whatever foul, unspeakable evil I did, I am sorry."

Silence.

"End it. End. My. Misery."

The three gods looked at each other.

"WE GRANT YOUR REQUEST."

White light engulfed Jack.

He knew nothing forever.

Rebuild what? The future is trash, and even if Aku disappears its still trash.

Jack isn't a fucking master politician, the only way he would 'help' the future after killing Aku would be to commit a systematic genocide of every alien race that doesn't conform to ancient japanese tradition.

Wanting to save your parents from being tortured for their entire lives and your nation destroyed by an evil space booger is hardly selfish. There was no winning move, either he went back to the past and erased the future, or stayed and had to live with the guilt of knowing he abandoned his parents and nation to their fates at Aku's hands.

If there was a third choice to save everyone somehow, he definitely would have taken it, because that's how he is, but sadly no such option existed.

It feels like that ending completely undid everything the series built up to

And worst of all is that it's not a happy ending at all.
Everyone from the future is gone. Dead. Never existed.
Jack will be alone forever, knowing that he literally erased an entire world just so he could fulfill his "purpose".
The only people who are happy are the people from the past a.k.a. the people who nobody cares about and were never a focus of the show

Basically it's more of a "do good and protect all the things that are also good" mentality. I mean, there's various stories where the protag could have been more selfish but they don't really do it.

Also, I think that Jack didn't really understand time travel so he just wanted to make sure that his buds were okay.

He woke.

Ow.

Why'd he have a headache?

Too much sake, he scolded himself. Too much indulgence after a victory, even such as Aku.

He cleaned up his room, slightly abashed. It would not do for someone to see...

...a thought occurred to him, a vague feeling of loss. Maybe he still longed for adventure... but it felt like something had been taken from him.

Something...

(A girl he laughed with)

...just a dream.

His mother greeted him at breakfast, asking if he was okay. He responded, curiously, that he was fine, if something was wrong. She, a bit abashed, said it might have been motherly instinct, but she thought something was... wrong.

His father assured her she was just glad her son was safe.

Days, weeks, years passed. Festivals to honor him and his victory. He trained to keep himself strong, yet...

(a girl in leaves)

(I love you, Jack)

(empty wedding robes)

...maybe he needed to find a wife.

>You mean that copout 'turn your brain off' excuse people use to watch Transformers movies? You really do have shit taste.
People have more problems concerning the plot and characterization of the movie than explosionfest which did got old. The difference here is the visuals were unique and weren't overplayed. It also means that you can excuse the literal pitch blackness and contrasting white that makes them invisible to make for a visually stunning scene. Seriously, what's not to like about it aside from nitpicking?

>Do you watch other cartoons?
Do you yourself watch other cartoons? Many have this "pointy style' that you ascribed. Nor is that a bad thing since the background art is excellent.

Theory Time: The Guardian protected the time portal by neons. What if the portal was to be used not in the future to go back in time, but to be used in the past to return to the future?

Jack has created an alternate timeline, one in which he defeats Aku in the past, but the future is still Aku's. What if he goes back to the future after being old to defeat him?

Depressed. I remember watching this show when I was a kid and being so exicited, "oh shit it's samurai jack!". I don't like the fact that they added a character literally just to make us feel sad, or the fact that the final battle took less than a few seconds. Way too little conflict, 90% of this could of been solved if they just didn't have Ashi. So much more time for the final fight, or they could of just deleted episode nine and split this into two different parts and actually dove into Jack conscience and make him question if killing Aku was really worth living without his love, I feel like they could of gone fairly in depth with that.

Maybe, but it might be that he created a timeline where Aku never conquered the future, but the original one where he did is still there. In that case, from the Scottsman and everyone's point of view, Jack grabbed the one weapon that could hurt Aku, and the one person who could fight him toe-to-toe, and fucked off, never to be seen again, leaving Aku to rule unopposed for eternity.
>>
>>92562264
It's about living for the people around you, who know and love you already, versus living for the already-dead.

They could've given him a near-death experience in his climactic battle against Future Aku sorry I mean Ashi, where he meets his ancestors. Maybe his parents are there, and they tell him that all the people of the past are cheering him on -- and that he should live for the sake of those around him, not for ghosts who died long ago.

Now you have bittersweet closure for Jack's family and the people of the past, AND you get to save the characters that the audience cares about. Win-win.

Guess what? Jack's still immortal, and the Guardian should still exist as he, in his own words, has for countless eons.

Guess what else? That doesn't matter.
Gennedy doesn't want us to care about the Guardian, the fact he could still be alive, and the fact jack's STILL immortal and could encounter him again.

He wants us to pay 0 attention to the retconned prophecy, fact that Jack's parents are somehow better, and the fact Jack is still immortal, because he's NEVER going to correct his retconning and plotholes.

He just wants us to fucking suck it up. What a hack.

AS COOL AS IT IS TO SPECULATE ABOUT JACK'S FUTURE ADVENTURES AS AN IMMORTAL VAGRANT, FULLY KNOWING THE GUARDIAN's PORTAL IS STILL OUT THERE, IT'S POINTLESS BECAUSE GENNEDY DOESN'T WANT US TO CARE BECAUSE HE NEVER WANTED TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH GOOD WRITING

Because some of them lived. If Aku's black rain killed everybody then nobody would complain since Jack was doing them a favor by deleting them from existence. A more poignant, if not way darker scene, would have been the Scotsman sitting there as a ghost while his daughters were all staked to the ground as the earth at his feet slowly turned red. Now Jack just seems like a dick for erasing everyone and not killing future Aku. Hell, if he at least killed future Aku before going back it'd mean that he wouldn't be there to fuckmurderrapekill the survivors for a week or so while Jack plans his stupid fucking wedding with Ashi.

That is why the anti-spiral curtail all spiral energy users in the universe. They don't want any to destroy the universe. They appointed themselves sheriff of the cosmos and put a speed limit on spiral energy. Most people here argue that Simon not acting to save Nina demonstrates him trying to prevent the spiral nemsis from occurring. Which is another dumb interpretation because it assumes the only future possible involving spiral energy is bad one.

>Bringing back the dead
She wasn't dead yet buddy. I know this is hard for some people to follow. You're not the first to declare it you won't be the last. Nina was clearly a living person until the wedding (surely you won't argue this), and Simon knew she was dying struggling to stay alive. Treating a person who is suffering isn't necromancy, it's medical treatment. Which he has every right to give.

>It isn't an asspull
Who called it one. Just because it's stupid doesn't make it an ass pull.

The carnage was strangely bloodless. yes the robots died but the only the fishmen's mounts got destoryed, the Doggo only got shot down the Spartans blocked it with their shields and Scotsman repelled it with his mystical bullshit ghost powers before his daughters got hit.

He hated this.

Women from all provinces, preening and cooing, fake manners barely hiding a sense of greed, gazing not at him, but the wealth...

...or gazing too much at him, as if he were a prize...

He sat in formal robes, a stoic look on his face. His father knew the current parade of courtesans, daughters of nobles, and giddy women had not piqued his interest.

"There is one more candidate, my lord." a vassal said cautiously. "A noblewoman of the northern province has seven studying under her, maybe one would be appealing-"

"Let them in." he said, trying to remain respectful, but he had to face facts- if a hundred girls bore no fruit for him, then seven more wouldn't...

In they walked.

She was plain, her kimono was worn in several areas, she had no make up, and she shuffled shyly at the end of the line.

Her eyes met his.

His heart beat so loudly he feared it might have shaken the building to the ground.

Mouth dry, he stammered as they looked at each other.

"Your name, if I may?" he asked quickly, the lack of decorum prompting a raised eyebrow from his father.

She looked back, staring at him, then breathed too syllables.

"Ashi."

Why they were suddenly gripping each other close, mouths locked together- why she wrapped herself around him and squeezed forever, why his father laughed as the noblewoman gasped with shock and the other daughters tittered politely, he didn't care.

Somewhere, three deities realized the massive breach in soul allocation was a gross abuse of power, but to hell with it.

Sometimes, a happy ending was just what was needed.

On one hand, the future got erased completely after Jack sealed Aku away in the past.
On the other hand, the timeline simply splits yet Aku's still free to rule and destroy since there's no more magic sword to deal with.

Either way, the Scotsman and others are screwed

Its fucking setup for Season 6 so blatantly.

Don't show shit in the future and rushed the final fight with Aku?

Its cause Season 6 is Jack trying to get back to the future cause he realizes he needs to kill Aku in that timeline too.

And spending 50 years as a wandering vagabond in the future has made it so that Jack can't adapt to living in the past again and he feels like he doesn't belong in the past anymore.

No, fuck that and fuck your opinion faggot.

I would much rather have an indefinite cliffhanger. I've seen plenty of series have no ending, and plenty more attempt to recover from a cliffhanger only to have a shitty ending.

You know what's great about a cliffhanger? The potential. There's always the possibility of a good ending. Not in the sense of everything turning out OK, but in the sense of a well-written one.

But once you have a bad ending? Once you've written something that's shit? That now permeates the rest of the series. You can't recover from it. Even an outright retcon still suffers from it.

I would've rather had Samurai Jack never have a proper conclusion than a shitty one.

That part was perfect. Jack killing past Aku was perfect. But holy shit I kinda wished past Aku sensed the Aku inside Ashi and dove inside her as a last resort. Then Jack, unable to kill his lover, hesitates for a moment with the blade facing Ashi, to which she jumps on to commit suicide and ensure Aku's defeat while still making Jack the one who technically killed him.

But those are just semantics.

>Sad that there was no closure with literally any character in the entire show
Who didn't get closure? Jack, who defeated Aku and saved his family?
Ashi, whose only goal was to redeem herself by helping the Samurai prevent the future, which she achieved?
The countless side characters that already finished their stories and had nothing to resolve in the first place?
The guardian? He doesn't need closure any more then the informent in an an action movie that gets killed off before he can give the hero important information needs closure.

Was it because Ashi disappeared, after she accomplished her goal of saving the future? She had nothing left, she sacrificed herself to save Jack.

But no, I guess nothing was resolved.

>>92563022
It's true. Gennedy knew he couldn't live up to the hype of the original Guardian episode so he used his all powerful god powers to retcon it.
If he can 'address' something with a literal frame of his glasses, who's to say he won't 'address' Jack's immortality in a social media post that literally reads 'Oh he's in his own time line now so he'll age normally', with 0 explaination, JUST the statement to make it 'canon' so fans can't argue his 'vision'.

The problem was that it just didn't have the impact it should have. The fight against Aku should have lasted longer, as should the triumph of it. Ashi should have had something more to say before fading. In general I just couldn't get invested in Ashi enough for this ending to hit the way Genndy probably wanted it to.

You don't realize the worst and most terrifying part of all, anon: that future Aku and Ashi are connected, and therefore she only vanished when he did. She might have said she felt Aku leave her, but that's only because their link was severed when they went back to the past. Aku is still very much alive in the future, and would be until Ashi faded away.

>Jack and Ashi manage to kill Aku. Jack remembers what happened in his hallucination and decides not to go back to the past. He has a conversation with Odin, Ra, and Vishnu, who inform him that they created the hallucination so that Jack would realize what would happen if he went back.
>Jack vows to help repair society after Aku's fall and becomes a King, with Ashi ruling as his queen. At the coronation ceremony, Ashi asksJack what his real name was. He reveals that his name is Mako.

Strictly speaking, if you think about it, this ending STILL doesn't make any sense. If Jack had ever succeeded in going back to the past to stop Aku... he would've already done it by the time he was sent to the future, preventing any of the events of the show from happening.

"You were prepared to sacrifice. I was not."
And then he was.
Also, you can see him go through the 5 stages of grief while he's flying through Ashi's portal.
>Why was he surprised when Ashi died when we knew she was not only a part of the future, but Aku as well?
Because a lot of time passed before the wedding. It didn't just happen immediately. If it didn't happen immediately, why would it happen months later?

>Jack reigns for years, finally ages naturally, gets a family, etc... Secretly, he's found a portal in the wilderness, that calls to him in his sleep. But he chooses duty and stays in his era.

>The day his wife dies, now older, he says fuck it and decides to use the portal. He lands in an unfamiliar timeline, that is also dystopian in some capacity. So Jack goes back to doing what he does best, righting wrongs and traveling the land, looking for portals, guided by his dreams. Across the season, he finds several portals, and discovers new exotic timelines. Some are ruled by tyrants, others are happy and Jack doesn't have much to do.

Before fading away Aku TWOAH open a portal in time that went back so far it re-merged him with the primordial black mass at the beginning of time. Then he waited out the storm and fell to earth. Then, eons later, Jack's father unsealed him from his prison, which is why Aku says he's been freed, in the Birth of Evil even though logically he shouldn't exist as Aku before thatr point, but as the unfeeling, unthinking primordial black soup. Thus cheating his own death and beginning the cycle anew.

>>
>>92563390
>>Why did he give up many chances to take portal to save lives he knew would eventually be erased
Because he's Samurai Jack? Watch Jack and the Monks, The Blind Archers, and plenty of other episodes.
Jack will always try to save people first even if it means sabotaging his way back to the past.
Aishi popped the portal and yanked him through it before he had time to think.

>>Why was he surprised when Ashi died when we knew she was not only a part of the future, but Aku as well?
You think a fucking Feudal Era Samurai knows about time paradoxes and shit?
Not to mention that some time passed before the ending and killing Aku, and everything seemed fine to Jack.

possible scenario: 50 years after returning to the past, having fixed the future of this timeline by killing aku, Jack finds the portal the guardian was guarding, and uses it to return to the alternate timeline future that he left (thus fulfilling the prophecy after all)

here, future aku is still alive (assuming multiverse and that ashi only faded as an effect of entering a timeline where she wasn't born)

old-jack arrives shortly after jack and ashi fled in their time portal, and he finishes off future aku once and for all, therefore ridding both timelines of aku

...kinda sloppy but that's inevitable given genndy's writing of time-travel

Well, boys and gals... the ride is finally over. I too think the more rushed aspects tarnish the overall quality of the series finale, but that's life. More episodes MIGHT have fixed that... maybe.

Overall, still a fitting and satisfying ending. Past Aku not realizing that if Jack returned to the past he'd be back almost instantly made me laugh. And leaving Jack to his love-stricken, demon magic wielding daughter prooobably wasn't the best idea.

Aku wasn't a smart demon.

Wished they could have killed Future Aku, too. I wanted to see how Aku would have reacted to losing after all this time and the victory part. Also bummed we didn't get multiverse theory to see what became of the future and everyone Jack saved (who survived the final fight anyway). You can't help want closure with them.

This just left only the first few episodes and the final scenes of the last one as the only events that actually "existed"... fuck.

For Ashi in the past, the only thing I can possibly think of to explain how Ashi stuck around for as long as she did after Aku died was that maybe a part of him still clung to life inside of her that she controlled, or more likely, she just retained SOMETHING of him, his essence or something... like, she couldn't feel it, but that slowly died off too. I thought we were getting multiverse theory up till then, so... yeah. Bad writing is bad.

That final scene, however. Jack, despite it all, was finally okay, and the symbolism was godlike. It's no masterpiece ending, but I'm happy with it.

Except he is when the body language of that whole episode is structured as one MADE to make the viewer think it's important. Throwing their expectations out the window with a retcon instead of at least handling it in a way that gives people expecting something closure (giving people the fight and showing jack use the portal) while still giving Gennedy the (dumb) ending he wanted. (Jack beats the guardian and Ashi and Him use the portal but it kills/erases Ashi)

The way it was handled was novice like, period

Also writing it off as a homage just feels like it makes it easier to write the ending off as ripping GL off

If anything, the Guardian was always fucking retarded. "Sorry Jacky, you can't go back in time because you aren't ready! Even though you had already beaten Aku and one more blow would've killed him, you CLEARLY aren't prepared after multiple battles against his infinitely more powerful future self. Better to have you save the future, become an old man on his last years before you can go back and RESET EVERYTHING ANYWAY"

Do you know why the sword can hurt him? It's a weapon forged from the literal essence of one man's human righteousness. The sword is his greatest weakness because it is righteousness. Righteousness can hurt Aku. The sword is the greatest weapon forged from it, but in theory, and apparently in practice, the Scotsman's magic can work against Aku because he is a righteous man.
>>
>>92561432
To be fair, Ashi was also more oblivious to anything that wasn't just combat and probably didn't even think about the consequences of her going back in time to kill Aku up until the first part where she started to lose strength. From her falling the first time though, you can tell she was trying to hold on for the wedding too.

That's your idea of handling something? Implying his death at most then never being mentioned again, despite the importance the episode about the portal made it out to be, ISN'T retconning?

If he acknowledged the guardian, then he acknowledged how much hype was around the propechy. He chose to handle it in this shitty way because he didn't wanna bother. That's a retcon.

try one episode and it was done by viewing things she should have no moral understanding of. She was raised in a cave getting beat up and told that her life's existence is killing a Samurai. She should have no notions of good and evil like Jack does because those are learned behaviors.

>>92563986
It would've been better if Gennedy had decided to( and it would've been very plausible since all the elements were there) tie the prophecy into Jack not being able to go back and unlock his aging process until Future Aku was killed and that timeline freed, going back after a harsh battle with Future Aku and then Guardian, hardened as fuck, to easily finish off Past Aku. That would've been great, and Ashi could still die like he wanted as the portal could've killed her when they went through, oblivious to the fact it'd erase Ashi.

>>92563621
i call it a flip flop/knot paradox
it happens when characters go back in time to make it so there is no need to go back in time.

this creates a situation where jack would always have had to go to the future

clever writing would have been that in jack and the world's mind aku never sent jack back due to magic time bullshit

even better would have been if ashi had to stay in the future and jack was sent into the mind of his younger self and dodged the time portal
>>
>>92563842
multiverse with random magical time-travel side-effects

like not aging if you're sent into the future
or fading away if you're sent into a timeline where you don't exist

Mate if you tried critiquing the show people would hop on your ass and just spout buzzwords at you.

He retconned the whole point of the Guardian, Jack's future as a king, leading an army against Aku.
Jack using Guardian's portal to go back to the past would create the same future that we saw with Ashi's portal (Aku dead in the past, so no need for kings and shit). So, thanks to Ashi, the Guardian is basically a cunt with a weird dream.

This is just one part of the final image. It'll be like the Kill la Kill one with multiple scenes. Not too much, probably just the time portal and the final shot. I'd say the hardest part was this first one, so it should go smoothly now.

So is it guaranteed that the future timeline just ceased to exist once Jack and Ashi left in the portal?

Sure they can do that in their spare time, while the rest of the time they're building statue tributes to Aku, or getting killed by any number of outlaws and crimminals that aku invites to the planet, While also enslaving other planets in the process.

I thought it was like one of those time loops where Young Jack goes through the trials of Old jack. By going back in time, Old jack changed the timeline for himself. The other timeline still exists, but old jack has changed timelines so he doesn't exist in the former one anymore.
I like to think of it as a loop-de-loop in a roller coaster, where there is a circle , but the rail is offet near the end.

him just going to the past again creates a split.
Ashi dies no matter what, if jack kills aku in the future or past.
If Jack kills Aku in the future then Jack has to kill Ashi or Aku kills ashi to reclaim his power from Ashi. Ashi being alive means Aku lives, it's the same type of ending you see in other shows where the main love interstate is linked to the final boss.

This is what I call bull shit on. They chose their own ending, when saving her is in my opinion doing nothing wrong.

Look, here is our fundamental disagreement. We can't agree on whether the act of saving Nina would represent an abuse of power or not. You clearly believe it would be and I clearly believe would not be. Neither of us is going to change our view here no matter how many circles we go in. There's no point in continuing.

nothing's guaranteed because we have no established or consistent rules about how time-travel works in Genndy's universe

That's never how it goes anon. People that are hurt normally hurt others, lash out and all that shit, unless they are conditioned in childhood to a better way.

>>92563239

Exactly. It was poetically tragic, but Ashi also served as the symbol of Jack having undone the future that was Aku.
>>
>>92564317

Because there were thousands of years of historical dominoes that had to be overwritten. She didn't disappear until the moment her birth was erased.

I don't think everyone in the future is dead either. Samurai Jack always had pretty loose time travel rules. Just one timeline. They're all still there just living lives that aren't destroyed by Aku.

Shields are held away from the body because of anatomy and angles, a shield covers more of your body the closer it is the the perception of your attacker. Arrows never pierced shields unless it was damaged already or going against a hail of concentrated arrows, both of which would be unideal situations for the weilder to be in

you do have a point, because though jack still got sent to the future, killing aku in the past would still affect the Jack in the future. Genndy wrote himself in the corner on this one.
>>
>>92558832
No, that part makes sense. He was already weakened and on death's door. That's why he TWOAH'd in the first place. There was a lack of a satisfying battle against Aku in the future.

I still think Aku should have dove into Ashi's portal. He reached his hand in to pull Jack out in episode 7, so why not jump in and settle things once and for all?
>>
>>92564967
I'll settle with I know what my point is/was and I still stand by it, but maybe I just presented it in a horrible fashion

The episode was pretty good until YOU HAVE AKU'S POWERS. It's like Genndy noticed it would be impossible to make a ~20min episode with the original script but it was too late to rewrite the whole thing, so he decided to just rush the shit out of it in the end.

And that's how you wrap this up? Gendy, you were running down to the animation team the week before this aired with half a script weren't you?
>>
>>92565340
How about an actual fight?

Why didn't the Future Aku go back to the past too to help his already wounded self? Injured Aku and Healthy Aku vs Jack and Ashi as jack desperately tries to kill the wounded aku as healthy aku continues to fend him off until eventually he falls to the combined might of Jashi. This just leaves the injured Aku, who by this time realizes that Ashi must be his daughter, he tells Jack that if he kills him Ashi would no longer exists. Jack thinks about this for a moment, then Ashi kisses him one last time and tells him that he has to do it. Jack stabs Aku, Jashi hold hands until she finally disappears symbolizing the end of both Aku and the sacrifice Jack made to complete his ultimate goal. The ending after that would remain the same.

She's probably dead. Also Jack was literally about to marry Ashi until she disappeared into thin air, so his chances of a rebound with her are pretty fucking low.
>>
>>92565597

that sounds like a bad fanfic
>>
>>92565580
It's not so much 'it's okay because Jack looks at a bug,' more that he realizes that even though he lost Ashi and she's gone, they managed to preserve a world she would have loved, unspoiled by the cruelty that characterized her life.

It doesn't make the pain go away, but it probably helps a little.

This would of fixed 90% of the issue I had with it, Ashi doesn't magically last weeks longer have Aku died(yet they still get their romantic ending) and they would have a lot more time for the actual fight and could probably sneak in some actual dialogue. Why didn't this happen.

All jack friends died like warriors, and were granted a warriors heaven, like the lava monster.

Except they dont anymore. I unnironically think that if aku won that moment and everyone died, it would been better than actually going back to the past. Struggle and pain, as terrible as they are, are part of being alive and existing.

How? It's literally how the show ended except with slightly less plot holes and a decent final battle. It would do a better job of making Jack seem human, despite him wanting the best for Humanity he still has selfish wants and needs like any human. Him going through with it(with Ashis approval) would demonstrate what he is as a person. I don't understand how it's worse than "lol I'm just going to wait until the wedding to stop existing, because fuck your happiness". This allows them their final romantic moment, maybe time for extra dialogue/badass lines and a decent fight with Aku instead of a thirty second curbstomping.

I Aku, the master of programming, unleashed an unspeakably entertaining show

But a foolish director kissing an imaginary waifu stepped forth to derail me

Before the final episode was aired, I tore open a portal in time, and flung him into the future where my quality is law

Now the fool seeks to return to the past and undo the future that is Aku


Gotta get back, back to the past

That was a fucking terrible ending. It would have worked if Ashi faded away when Jack killed Aku, but instead it happened like a day or two later, as if the effects only happened because Ashi thought to hard about it. Like, she's walking down the aisle and it suddenly hits her "Wait, how am I alive if Aku was my da--" and then she vanishes. Her telling Jack this sounded more like a "Oh shit, we didn't think this through".

What I'm sure was supposed to be a touching or sad moment made me laugh instead.

No, because he's from the time he was ripped away from. Aku in the "future" had existed in linear time and belonged in the future. Bringing Jack back is the only way to make the timeline stable.

Death would have been a mercy as opposed to returning to a home he doesn't know any more, to people he barely remembers from a lifetime ago, with only the ghosts of would-have-been comrades, the fallen, and the first woman he ever loved for company. At least Aku's evil will never blight the future. Unless he's not quite dead. Then all he needs is another eclipse...

This is your reward for sacrificing your entire life, Jack. Congratulations.

You are absolutely right. The time travel part, because people forget that our solar system is constantly moving right? So to travel back in time you would also have physically travel through space to reach the earth as it is positioned in the universe within the past or future

That's not how time travel works. The minute Jack and Ashi went through the portal, his fate was sealed. Besides, Jack would only need to defeat the past Aku to remove future Aku's existence entirely.

The rest of your post is bad fanfic tier bullshit, so I'll just ignore it.

Yes and? That's not an inconsistency. He was taken from his time, he was preserved as he was the moment he was taken, and he returned to his time. It was as if he never traveled in time at all, which makes it stable.

Time travel doesn't work at all anon. Every way it happens is nonsensical. None of the series should've happened. Jack shouldn't have been able to kill Aku before he could create a future to send Jack to that would enable him to return and destroy the being that enable him to return etc etc

It's all fucked.
>>
As much as I didn't like the ending, I can admit most of my issues are a matter of personal taste

However, the only thing I thought was outright bad was how rushed the whole thing felt. The final confrontation with Aku should have been AT LEAST an hour long special or something. The series as a whole had built up so much by that point, that resolving everything in under 25 minutes was unsatisfying in so many ways

Due to time travel, won't Jack remain ageless and eventually outlive his friends and family? Or will he finally get sweet relief via death?

In all likelihood, probably more Hotel Transylvania movies. After that... Maybe he'll get Can You Imagine? off the ground, given the runaway success of the Jack revival. Hell, maybe Popeye will spring back to life.

In an ideal world, smart studios and networks might realise that they need to grant freedom to certain auteurs if they want viral success. That's the perennial pipe dream.

>That's not how time travel works

You're telling me Ashi can exist for weeks, if not MONTHS without even being born but Aku can't go back in time to make the episode slightly more entertaining?
>>
I think Jack should have stayed in the future and killed future Aku instead.

The whole full circle thing is nice, but it's not fulfilling. For one thing, there'd be no time travel paradox. For another, the world that Jack saved isn't what the viewer was invested in at that point, and in fact Jack had lived far longer in the future than in the past.

If they wanted closure for the people of the past they could've just had their spirits be freed from Aku's destruction or something.
>>
>>92566521
>>92566653
It is 100% logical to assume Jack is still unaging because it's never addressed outside of 'Jack doesn't age because of time', and since we're supposed to consider this the end, Gennedy doesn't want us speculating further even though it's extremely easy and logical to assume Ashi died (even giving the plothole that she existed for months before disappearing just then) because she inheritly has some Aku in her, and Jack wasn't effected because he's human. It's also logical to assume he's still immortal. Hell, we can even assume the Guardian still exists (as he has for countless eons).

But Gennedy doesn't want us to consider any of that. He doesn't want us asking if Jack is immortal. Speculating any of this at all is pointless despite how seemingly obvious the speculation is, because he can literally retcon the fact that Jack's still immortal by just posting in social media.

It doesn't tie up the plotholes that you FEEL during the experience of watching the whole season.

>>92561742
Jack is shown in the very first season to have a very serious Survivor Guilt psychological trauma from being unable to save his family when Aku invaded his home and after he flung him into the future.

It only got worse as the seasons went by and by the Fifth season h was already Hallucinating and edging on the brink of suicide.

It's like a road runner cartoon. You're fine if you just keep going but when you look down and think "oh wait this doesn't make sense" then adios. If Ashi was sent back to the past as a baby and never realized what she was then she would live there forever.
>>
>>92566844
>>92566653
>>92566844
TL;DR, the inconsistencies around the time travel and Jack's unaging immortality don't matter because Gendy can just say 'oh he's not immortal anymore' even though it makes no sense going off of what you SEE in the show.

Just like how he retconned the Guardian, etc


The series is over and the last thing Gennedy wants is us pointing out the flaws or the fact that even with the show as it is now, there's enough that's canon to allow for more Jack.

But it's done.


No speculation matters because he can retcon it at will.
The fact that the Guardian's prophecy can still happen doesn't matter becaue Gennedy doesn't want anything to
>>

not just this, but like, at least TRY to address the ambiguity of what happens to the denizens of the future. At the very least some kind of heartfelt goodbye.

You could do that by having her interact with people in Aku's world and slowly realizing on her own how evil he is. It would only take a few minutes an episode.
>>
>>92566965
well it was obviously bad because it was all the consequences and results of rushed/bad writing and retcons with no canon justification of them to make them fit

Really though the season just needed like five, ten more episodes.

>>92567070
because apparently it's not as much common knowledge as you think, plus he may wanted to do more but had to go with the worst of the deal which was 10 episodes.

Aku is dead, Ashi cannot exist anymore.
>>
>>92566844
No

We should asume that when you are taken of the "path of time" or destiny or whatever you want to call it, some rules don't apply.Stasis state, just like as vampire the masquerade adress vampiric inmortality as in "you are not supposed to be here"

If you are back on track then rules should not apply anymore

oh dear god chem x is just ashi goop

>>92567073
Yeah, the true tragedy is that like it's bene pointed out, even with all the damage that's been done there's still enough that's canon that makes logical sense to set up for the Prophecy, at least.

But it will never happen. :\ That's what sucks. Even NOW, a 6th season, movie, or another comic could fix /everything/, but it will very likely not happen.

Gennedy has broken his own rules before so trying to take it to that degree of seriousness is self defeating anyways.

Even giving the shows bad logic lots of leeway you can't blame anyone for assuming Jack is still immortal because the show never fucking addresses it. If something has to be explained in a media post or anything outside of the original vision/product, it's damage control/retconning. Period.

Dudes, the series ended hours ago and now the finale thread is dying, it's not over until it does

enjoy the thread, it's the real end

>>92567361
who?
>>
>>92548911
I honestly though Samurai jack would become a wandering warrior after killing Aku like pic shows. The whole point of Jack's backstory was that he was a person raised to be a perfect warrior, always prevailing, yet never going back to the past since his pure morals always had him choosing to save people instead of abandoning them just to go to the past. This is what allows him to continue wielding the magic katana before season 5.

However, once Aku was defeated, Jake would then have no more purpose, leading him to just wander....

He could find respite in defeating minor evil beings or people that Aku caused in the future, continuing his quest on destroying "true" evil albeit in a roundabout way.

End image would just be old Jack high atop a hill carrying his memories will continuing on until death, as a warrior of peace.
>>
>>92567306
But then we wouldn't have autistic discussions about timelines, time paradox, butterly effect and the show would be a straightforward revenge story that end with killing the bad guy and then walking to the sunset.
>>
>character gets new powers
>"hurr how did they know how to use those powers immediately??"

Why do people accept magic powers but don't accept people magically understanding how to use their new magic powers?

Do you think there's an Aku Instruction Manual? Fuck off.
>>
>>92561222
This guy fucked that she-beast he calls a wife Aku only knows how many times to sire a legion of qt THICC battle-hardened daughterus for his best friend to have his pick at, and the fucker ignores them all, and then deletes them and you from existence.

Even Aku didn't fuck you over this hard
>>
>>92561949
nah, you aint the only one. I am glad the show has a disclosure and I am great appreciated the show ends
>>
>>92567424
now you found your meaning in life.
>>
That... kinda sucked.
>>
>>92567401
This. Some aspects of the new series were good, even Ashi to a degree, but they kind of muddled it up in comparison to the comic.
>>
He either should've always went through the portals if possible instead of saving the current guy of the week or stayed the "I don't go until this future is right" guy, not a fucked up mix of both to where Aku in the future isn't even killed by Jack in a fight and he doesn't give a fuck about the 4 seasons worth of characters he saved just because they'd be saved during a big fight with Aku himself during the time ripple

that's fucking gay
>>
It was kinda neat to see Jack's old teachers again.
>>
>>92561429
Everyone dies, universe resets, villain is defeated before he can accomplish his goal, universe resets, all the dead people are replaced with alternate versions of themselves because the villain was deleted from existence. Only the sole survivor is aware because all of his friends are technically dead, and the people in their places are strangers to him.
>>
>>92567423
>The whole point of Jack's backstory was that he was a person raised to be a perfect warrior, always prevailing, yet never going back to the past since his pure morals always had him choosing to save people instead of abandoning them just to go to the past.

This. I don't really like that he went back to the past here because he didn't even save the future first.

Like what was even the point of choosing to save people over the portals before if he just ditches everyone for a portal this time?
>>
>>92567401
>Muh growth only counts if the hero doesn't get what he wants
OG Jack still "grew", he's completely different from when he left. He just had a mission to fulfill.
In fact his allies were exactly who he was thinking of when he went back, because they literally showed up to let him do what they put their faith in him achieving.
Staying would have been giving their sacrifice the finger.

Rushed, empty and excessive Ashi focus was weak though.
>>
>>92561426
Someone needs to edit Ashi out of this
>>
>>92567557
You know what? It might catch some flak, but as a concept, I don't think Ashi is terrible; that being said, they seemed to shit the bed with her, insofar as actually making use of her.

Also, I'm just going to assume that Odin, Ra, and Vishnu are some stone cold motherfuckers, considering they figured that letting an entire timeline of people become unmade was alright.
>>
I was afraid jack was going to get simon'd
>>
>>92567571
>>92567619
To be fair, it was Ashi who sent then back in time. He didn't really voluntarily jump into a portal.
>>
>>92567455
No in those cases they just develop an understanding of what causes what, making the power spurt a bit at first and then figure out what you're supposed to feel to make it happen after a few minutes at least

it was rushed but fuck the time taken to name the daughters could've been used for her to quickly figure out the power by yelling like a retard a few times before making the portal, it would've been rushed but at least have an attempt instead of "I doRAHHHHHHHH"
>>
>>92566534
Pretty much.
>>
Long from now in a distant land
I, Foolish Samurai, magic sword-wielding master of goodness, unleashed an UNSPEAKABLE kindness
Then one day a SHAPSHIFTING DAUGHTER OF THE MASTER OF DARKNESS died before me
Before the final future was changed, I opened a map to the ends of the world and flung myself on a journey where the guardian's word is law
Now I seek to return to the future and undo the idiocy that is Episode 101
>>
Ok, I might be the minority in this. But I LOVED Aku's defeat.
>it was literally Aku at his weakest
yeah that's the point, that's what makes it so good.
Deep down Aku knew he couldn't really take Jack down in a fight, even at his full power if Jack has his sword he's fucked. That's why he bothered with sending bounty hunters and trying to trick Jack all this time, if he tried to take him on himself he'd lose like a punk bitch.
So that's what he gets, that's what he deserves. No epic final clash to the death between two equally matched mortal enemies, just Jack doing what what he should have done 50 years ago and killing Aku like the bitch ass nigga he is.
>>
>>92567675
Then have him say "Wait, we need to save those guys!" then Ashi say "Jack, they'll never exist anyway" and have him say "I.. suppose" then lead that in to a sooner death for Ashi rather than actual days passing before she just vanishes in 0.16 seconds

I already posted this but

thank you all. This has been a good experience to finally finish Samurai Jack with all of you. As a kid I watched it alone. As an adult I watched it with you guys. I am glad that I got to. Life is short. Thank you all.
>>
>>92567683
>No in those cases they just develop an understanding of what causes what, making the power spurt a bit at first and then figure out what you're supposed to feel to make it happen after a few minutes at least

"Figure out what you're supposed to feel to make it happen"? What, you think Aku's powers are activated via 'feelings'?

It's fucking magic dude. There is ZERO reason why Ashi couldn't magically know how to use Aku's powers. One of Aku's powers could even be knowledge of all of his powers.

It's not like learning to ride a bike. It's MAGIC.
>>
>>92567632
That's fair, I suppose; what I suppose I'm coming down hard on is what I think is 'bad' growth, or at least growth that seems to betray the core of the character. Jack was never utilitarian, he never said 'good enough' when it came to going back to the past even if it left the future in Aku's grasp.

But this. . . I dunno, but the philosophical shift in character prerogatives seemed lackluster and boring in comparison; utilitarian is predictable, while Kantian morals or other morals are more interesting in a character study fashion, at least to me.
>>
>>92561621
I still don't understand where the name Jack came from, or why the opening cuts off the second Aku sends him through the portal.

Maybe it was some kind of avant-garde thing Genndy adapted from a college project.
>>
>>92561609
>When everyone trying to roast you but you're already too long gone to feel anything.
>>
I'm glad we got an ending, but this was poorly executed. It also bothers me how people are letting it slide even though it was clearly rushed and flawed. Seems like its just getting a pass because it wasn't a total shit heap like most other reboots, but in a way this is more disappointing because they just don't do anything with the potential they had.
>>
>>92567401
>>Aku is defeated by power of. . . love?
No, Jack repeatedly slashed him with his sword. Ashi broke through Aku's control because of love, but Aku's defeat was violent.
Either way, I don't see what's the problem with the power of love.

I do wish the future hadn't just been tossed away that easily, though. I would've liked some kind of closure on what happened to everyone Jack met and befriended over the years, or characters discussing the grandfather paradox. Did everyone get erased away due to butterfly effect? Did they still come to exist but in a better world? I like to think it's the latter, but I would've liked to actually see it on-screen.

Some street youths called him Jack once he entered the future and he kept the name. Watch the first season.

>>92561629
>Aku put %100 of his power into Ashi to "awaken her" as his daughter, the issue was that it was drowning her
A better solution would be for Ashi to use her link to Aku to momentarily possess him and force him to belch out a time portal.

I really thought they were building up Jack being preventing from ever going back, but still deciding to fight for a better future.
Sort of a "Even if things are really fucked and you can't fix them, you should try to as much as you can"
But no, they just threw him back and in like 2 minutes do the whole "You need to let go of Aku's future" thing.
>>
>>92567949
>Ashi to use her link to Aku to momentarily possess him
The power of love giving her complete control, knowledge and immunity was one thing but I think I'd have just closed the tab and never looked back if a single human managed to wrestle complete control of the will of a millenia old dark god.
>>
>>92567922
I'm referring to the fact that Jack's new love interest, who he breaks out of mind control by literally dropping the 'I luv u' card, basically results in Aku's death, but fair enough.

The problem isn't 'power of love' inherently; it's that, for a series that seemed more interested in friendships, allies, and all the other quirky folks Jack met on his travels, all that basically gets tossed away so a new person and the 'power of love' can once again be touted as a ham-fisted metaplot nuke. I wanted those travels to mean something more than just fanservice for the final episodes, which they ultimately became.

There's no point in sitting around being bitter all day. I'm a little hungry, that's all. Content, but hungry. I wanted more, but alas, we don't always get what we want. But the ending performed the necessary steps for me, and that's all that matters. It granted closure.

Yea but at least an attempt would be made, now it seems like Jack just forgets them in an instant even before he gets out of the portal

Moral uncertainty is not something you want to burden the hero or audience with at the grand finale of a series, unless you're going for that dark and uncertain feel.

Probably wouldd've been better if he hesitated, but the Scotsman or someone else who'd be left behind urged him to go through anyway. That way the moral burden is shifted away from Jack and for once his friends end up making a sacrifice for him instead of the other way around.

That was fucking unbelievably bad, was it always planned to not kill future Aku and make sure the future good guys were saved and to just ignore that Jack never let an innocent be in danger even if the time portal would save everyone anyway? Like he fucking forgets everyone in a second and never seems to remember them again due to Ashi dying being the focus/buildup after he gets back.

I liked Scaramouche and some of NuAku dialogue, Scotsman was great even while dead, and loved the romance. I guess the happy-romantic-sweet-ending no longer exists anymore.

I am so tired of bait and switch shit like this.

This too. Face it, anon. We could have gotten a great past/future Aku tagteam vs. Jack and Ashi and instead we got 15 seconds of Jack slaying him. I was even sitting there, arms crossed, thinking to myself "that's fucking it?"
