If you waited 13 years for an ending to an old mid-2000s cartoon, then that's kinda sad.

Honestly when Jack made it back with Ashi I was just like "Ok Gennedy, I know the exact ending won't be particuallry good or satisfying, but lay it on me, I'm ready". Then cue Ashi dropping mid-wedding.

I'm just glad to have seen this series end, and to do so with /co/ memes and all.
>>
I liked the ending, though simply killing Aku in the future to avoid Ashi dying and staying in the future would have also been a good ending. Seeing Jack go back to the old scene where Aku first sent him to the future was cool though, and ultimately means Jack prevented the suffering Aku caused.

My biggest issue with it is it's dumb how it took Ashi several days (or longer?) to fade out of existence. Why would she not immediately be gone as soon as Aku died?

That aside it was alright. Got back to the past, Samurai Jack. RIP to those hero robots in the mech.

9/10 as a whole season.

I'm sorry but we're going to need a MASSIVE director's cut of the ending episode. I honestly thought the ending itself was fine, but holy shit, I don't know how the fuck CN looked and said: "yeah this didn't need to be an hour".

The emotional beats would have struck with me amazingly well if they had more time to settle in. But it didn't. Jack is all about the slower moments and letting them sink in and this episode went by so quickly, I know I wasn't the only who had to have felt: "That's it?".

Still I'm thankful we got this season at all. I just really want to know the production behind this season. It definitely felt kinda off to me.
>>
>>92559771

That's the ending I was hoping for. No means of returning to the past, but defeats Aku in the future and prevents further suffering. The fact that he couldn't prevent it all would have been the bitter in the bitter-sweet ending I would have liked. Jack making it to the past, leaving all his friends behind, and losing his almost-wife? Wasn't thrilled with that. I honestly thought, when he was seen on the horse in the creepy forest, he was going to find some magical means of bringing back Ashi, or something, I dunno.

Was the identity of the little green-eyed creature that directed Ashi to Jack at the graveyard ever revealed?
>>
>>92559930

I mean really? You're givning Gennady shit for pacing? The guy only had 10 episodes to re introduce the show, introduce new characters, fight in an arc for them all, fit in a romantic sub plot, fit in all past side characters, have original Jack return, have Jack lose to Aku AND then have Jack finally return to the past

The guy did fucking magic with what he had

It feels like people have forgot by now but episode 2 was one of the very best episodes of any show ever put to TV

But he's totally correct. If Ashi remained in the future she would have survived. She wasn't dependent on Aku.

She died because of the time paradox.

It's been 50 years since he's seen them. Hell, he's probably older than his own parents now. With his age and everything he's experienced in the future, his old family and friends are completely unrelatable to him now. He may as well be living in a city full of cavemen.

It would have been better if Jack was sent into the future alone, and the Scotsman caught it happening and said goodbye one last time.

Then when he finally kills past Aku, he has a moment to realize that the entire future was undone and everyone he came to know no longer exist. Then he comes back to society and is rejoiced as the hero, but he contemplates on how everyone he knew is now just a memory.

Then it fast forwards into the future to show modern day equivalents of everyone he saved. Maybe a modern day Ashi and her sisters learning about an ancient samurai who banished evil and stare at awe at the museum exhibit of his sword.

>Thoroughly enjoying myself the entire episode, big grin on my face for most of it.

I just feel kind of empty now. The first half was just so damn good, but in my heart and soul I wanted Aku and Jack to have one last crazy battle, instead of having him be distracted the whole time while Jack only really fought Ashi. I suppose I should have seen it coming, but damn, it felt like a last second fumble. I even liked the previous few episodes that had people really irate, but this was just a huge miss.
>>
>>92560494
True but he did plan to conclude everything with a movie
>>
>>92560143

He didn't need to have a romantic subplot at all. And if he really felt it was needed he could have left out one of the shitty filler episodes like episode 4 or episode 8 in order to have a two-part finale that didn't feel like he tried to cram 90 minutes of plot into 22.
>>
>>92560494
I agree that he wasn't given enough time but he could have taken the story in any direction. Trying to put in a romance in that short time was the biggest mistake, made it even more difficult to end it.
>>
>>92560143
Fuck, you either negotiate or rework the season arc into the time that you're allotted. They, really, REALLY couldn't get a -normal- length , 12/13 episode season?

>Jack making it to the past, leaving all his friends behind, and losing his almost-wife? Wasn't thrilled with that.

That's the fucked up thing. Jack has a good life in both the past and the (now non-existent) future. In the future, his longing for the past haunted him, and now the ghost of this dead future will haunt him.

Better ending would have been Aku being killed int he future, and Jack stuck there with no way to go back.

More like Ashi shouldn't have existed to begin with.

Then we would've gotten more focus on Jack's development, along with other characters like Aku or the Scotsman.

Introduce and brand-new, bland plot device waifu for a series finale that's returning from a 10+ year hiatus is one of the worst things you can do from a writing standpoint.

It's not a coincidence that the show quickly went to shit as soon as Ashi started interacting with Jack in a positive light - aka after episodes 3-4.

When will you fuckers understand that to the samurai the most important thing in the world was all the souls that could be saved by preventing Aku in the past?

His happiness doesn't mean shit, his duty to others is more important, and in the end he almost had it, but he was overcome by Genndy's shitty attempt at Mono no Aware.

My jimmies are severely rustled. I wanted a full episode epilogue, not this. He shit on the season, he didn't know what he was doing, he drafted some ending tropes and threw in shit when his ideas ran out after ep3.

Can we all agree that this ending was pretty fucking emotional, especially with the soundtrack? He's back in the past, sure. But everyone he's known in the future is gone. Everyone. He'll never see them again. He'll age in his current timeline and continue on with his life.

In all honesty, I thought the ending would go something like this
>Episode is stretched to about fourty-five minutes, allowing everything that needs to be there to be there, like in Birth of Evil
>During this time, the spirit of the Guardian comes to Jack, he learns that he cannot defeat Aku once, but twice; once in the Future, once in the Past
>Only then will a paradox be avoided
>When Jack's army of friends attack, he is freed and does battle with Ashi, and that segment continues as normal
>He helps to free Ashi's mind, and with her help they slay Aku in the future
>Although happy that this battle is over, Jack is left now with his next decision
>Tearfully he says goodbye to Ashi, goodbye to everyone, and she creates a new portal for him
>He returns to the moment when he left, and through a short but highly intense battle, Jack obliterates Aku into nothingness
>He frees his people, his family, and his homeland
>He becomes the Emperor of Japan, with his elderly father and mother to guide him
>The last scene shows Jack, now older and sporting a beard, talking with his son in the manner his father did in the first episode
>This is the anniversary to the day that Aku was defeated, and so he tells the story
>Illustrated through tapestries, just like of his father's victory, only it's one huge tapestry that goes over all his adventures, with the last scene being that of Aku's formless body burning away into nothing before a vibrant Japan
>Looking over this, Jack's expression changes, and his son finds that he should leave him be
>The scene ends with one last tapestry, separate from the others
>Can you guess?
>It is Ashi, now freed from the influence of Aku, who has helped to rebuild the world of the future
>Jack smiles, touching the tapestry as he remembers her, before turning and walking to the balcony, to watch the cherry blossoms fall
>>
>>92560143
Ashi was a plot device to have a wedding at the end. If Ashi had been killed they still had the girl from Jack's childhood for that purpose. The bittersweet moment could have been Jack remembering the good people that existed in the future as he walked the restored Earth seeking the places he visited in the future.

And if not, Ashi's romance could have been done in one or two episodes at most, because it felt rushed anyways and people would bitch about it no matter what, that leaves you space to do something with everyone who appeared out of fucking nowhere in the end like the spartans and the Scott's. He could have done one episode to increase Aku's ruthlessness and cruelty, he could have done many things, but he didn't do shit and this is the result. A shitty ending he made up while he was taking a shit.

I just thought of something guys that hasn't been brought yet. Aku sent Jack to the future but then Old Jack defeated him.

Does this mean that that the other Jack will be sent to a good future that has been influenced by Old Jack? Perhaps even meet a version of Ashi in the altered future there?

I'm feeling pretty empty, myself. It's not that I didn't like the finale, though it was definitely rushed, I just don't feel... Much of anything.

I'm not angry and unsatisfied. But I'm not happy and relieved either. I just sorta feel nothing.

Genndy DID say the end would feel bittersweet, but this is more like novocain.

I mean, overall, this final season was a solid 8.5 for me. Hit a lot of the notes of the original 4 seasons; action, comedy, drama, spaghetti and more. But knowing it's over, I dunno. My heart isn't aching, but my nerves aren't tense either. Am I disappointed? Have I had closure? What's with this apathy I'm feeling?

There are two sides:
>The Ending is good/bittersweet
>ERMAHGERD! THE ENDING IS FUCKING TRASH!

Let's explain. If you let Jack stay in the future with Aku, there's still an endless amount of evil forces who worships the demon, and probably left some Aku essence. EVEN if Jack stays & wiped evil from existence, what's the point, then?
>Ashi was Aku's daughter, but Jack Killed him in the past.
Yes, but time paradoxes are confusing as shit, but her existence didn't last very long. At the wedding, Ashi fades away like Nia did at the ending of Gurren Lagann.
>Future Jack went back to the past & killed Aku. What happened to past Jack as he went through Aku's portal?
Again, time paradoxes are a bitch. It's not like how Marco (Star Vs.) spent 16 years blowing Hekapoo to get a pair of scissors, and came back to his dimension as 14, again. Someone explained that Jack's memories from his journey would be moot. It's hard to explain.

Jack's memories of Ashi will eventually vanish, as Ashi never existed if Aku never lived to reproduce

Big one:

Jack and Ashi arrive in the past AFTER Aku has already sent past Jack into the future. Aku dies in the past and never lives to reproduce, Ashi never exists, so Jack is sent to an Aku-less future with no Ashi to make him a portal. So this could never actually happen, as the timeline where Ashi exists and discovers she's the daughter of Aku and goes back in time would cancel itself out the moment future Jack kills Aku.

All this is just loading, just as Ashi vanishing lag a little. Soon future Jack will reappear in the future fighting with Ashi against Aku again.

It's impossible to go back in time to defeat the person that sent you to the future when the person that helped you go back to the past is dependent on the person who sent you to the future.

Futurefags and Ashifags win!
>>
wait.. why didn't AKU just send himself back into the past if he knew Ashi and Jack were going back into the past?

Sending Jack back to the past and defeating Aku then invalidates the entire series. Hence why I feel it would have been preferable to NOT send him back.

I find myself thinking about what could've been.

I'm in the camp that thinks the pacing was definitely a bit out of whack after the first 3-4 episodes, so I have to wonder how things would've shaken out if it was given a true half-season's worth of episodes (thirteen) instead of just ten:

>extra time to smooth out Ashi's evil-good transition, as well as Jack overcoming his demons
>make callback-cameos serve a purpose by hinting at their knowledge/involvement in Scotsman's siege on Aku's castle, alluding to finale

I hate these Back to the Future rules.

If Aku sent Jack to the future and then Jack came back anyway a few seconds later it means he never had time to reign.

If Ashi never existed, Jack couldn't get back to the past.

And so on. Alternate timelines are the way to go, not vanishing ones.

You know what would have been a good ending? If they go the past and stop Aku from sending past-Jack from being thrown into the past and Ashi, future-Jack and past-Jack (who is visibly confused as fuck) defeat Aku. They explain things to past-Jack, and future-Jack and Ashi look into each other 's eyes, kiss, and vanish from existence together. Then, past-Jack goes on to live his normal life, and it is also implied the future characters now exist in an Aku-less future, so they live on just fine too.

It was totally rushed, but showed what it had to show to appease as much people as possible in under 20 minutes.

I don't know how to feel either, but maybe that's because of how everything transpired so quickly in this episode. I always pictured a crazier, flashier last fight between Jack and Aku.

To be fair there were.
I hardly noticed it myself, because I watch a lot of Action movies with Showdown sequences, where they spent a lot of time staring each other down.
But when it got awkward in the eight episode, it was so bloody painful.

Now I know why Action flicks rarely include romantic elements. It feels like Genndy broke an unwritten rule or something.

Houses were shuttered, wind round them muttered,
roads were empty. I sat by a door,
and where drizzling rain poured down a drain
I cast away all that I bore:
in my clutching hand some grains of sand,
And a sea-shell silent and dead.
Never will my ear that bell hear,
never my feet that shore tread,
never again, as in sad lane,
in blind alley and in long street
ragged I walk. To myself I talk;
For still they speak not, men that meet.

I was satisfied with this ending. Sure, aku's fight should've been longer, but it was so obvious ashi was going to die and that jack was going to go back to UNDO THE FUTURE THAT IS AKU

Too bad that in the process of undoing the future, they undid everything I had invested myself in across 5 seasons. Fucking time travel bullshit.

The least they could have done was shown a glimpse of what the future was like without Aku. But no, not even that. Fuck this ending.

Yeah, it felt a little bit melodramatic and frankly cringe to have her swoon at their wedding and fade out in front of everyone. I would've preferred they returned to the past, and after defeating Aku, have a private intimate moment on which Ashi fades away.

not the guy you're replying to, and I really did like Avatar's ending, but spirit bending was a definite deus ex machina to save Aang from his personal no win scenario of having to kill Ozai to prevent genocide and felt very weak to me. I think it would have been better if he had been forced to kill him and live with that fact.

you know, the moment ashi attacked jack and the scotsman keep talking, i realized genndy wouldn't show any kind of closure to the future characters and probably didn't even consider that. they always were meant to be just fodder to the "real" friends from jack's past. like the narrative equivalent of an army of joke characters comically trying to help the actual, fleshed out main couple.

i'm kind of loss at words and i don't know if i explained myself very well, but did anyone else felt this way?

At least with him killing aku in the past, the people of the future won't have to live under tyranny. Their existence as such may be hugely altered but they'll exist in some form or another if the cosmos beings still have ruling dominion on life in the galaxy. Plus jack might try to get a head start on the future tech he used which could lead the alien species making nice with Earthlings before the industrial revolution.

It didn't need to 100% satisfy. It needed to slow down. 10 Episodes just wasn't enough to get the job done and it becomes evident in the later episodes. All the new season needed was more time so it could take things at a slower more in-depth manner.

Physically, yes. Mentally, Jack has lived about 75 years, 50 of them in the future, and known more fear, pain, and strife than can be easily related.

Jack did get something precious back, but he lost precious things, too.

>>92562084
I was 90% sure Aku was gonna job because Aku has always jobbed to Jack. Didn't bother me. The main fight was the world rising against him (finally), and I was fine with that. We already know Jack can beat him and we don't have a whole episode to do a rehash of their cool fights.

It's the biggest cliche of time travel fiction. The idea that somehow the universe gives a shit that you're killing your grandfather, and that the universe doesn't see it as one chunk of matter striking another.

Yes, she quite literally a grandfather paradox.
>Was born
>Went to the past
>Assisted in killing her father before she was born
>Now she doesnt exist
>Therefore there wasnt no one to help send jack to the past and kill aku
>So aku lives
>So she was born...

The universe should have ended that scene. Just some "film burning in the projector" effect and run the credits with a white background and no music.

At least with Nia, she basically forced herself to keep existing until the wedding, there's no excuse for Ashi, she should have disappeared the moment Jack killed Aku

There's no way to do time travel satisfactorily.

The grandfather paradox ruins everything in single-thread time travel, whereas in multiverse theory nothing you do matters because there's always an alternate reality where you didn't do it.

If he killed aku in the future, everyone except the scotts and maybe the spartans would be dead (although in heaven, which is step up from "erased").
Ashi doesnt die of paradox magic.
Jack and ashi with the few friends left start to rebuild the world. Jack probably assumes as Emperor of Earth, slowly get rid of all the criminals and monsters. The trio (jack, ashi and scottsman) are probably ageless anyway, they would have the time.

Ok lets assume Ashi/all the subplots/filler is absolutely fucking necessary. He could of literally removed episode nine and lost 0 value. Thats 20 extra fucking minutes he could of been using to develop the story, he could of used that episode for the first part of the battle and made getting back to the past the second part. He could of ended episode nine with "lets get back to the past" and people would of literally been freaking out. This would give him an entire 20 minute episode for Jack to finish off Aku in epic fasion and then whatever the fuck he wanted with the Ashi storyline rather than a timeline that made 0 sense. Or he could of removed all the filler and done this anyway.

I have but one question, why is the past that Jack returns to perfectly normal as it was when he was a child when it clearly was not when he was sent into the future. I mean just because he killed Aku doesn't mean what was done in the FURTHER past was undone. I mean this is honestly plot destroying, it just feels like an entirely different series.

Can you imagine trying to explain the future to anyone in Jack's position? Years of madness, loneliness, isolation? The only one who even has an inkling of what it's like to grapple with Aku is his father, and his own battle with Aku was mercifully short by comparison. Jack isn't a talkative guy to begin with, and the one person he knew who had experienced what he had, if through a dark mirror, never even existed. You can't go home again.
>>
>>92568827
She was part of the big bad of the series, the anti-thesis of "Spiral Power", the whole thing that makes the hero and his friends a galactic threat. They beat the big bad, so she died, but she held on until their wedding before disappearing.

I kind of agree. Personally I think they could have come up with a more creative way for Aku to finally be defeated.

Jack cut him to ribbons, Aku is trapped in the sword and Jack slams it down with all his righteousness, destroying Aku once and for all

So does that mean when Jacks Dad trapped Aku in the sword, all he had to do was slam it down instead of sticking it into a tree and Aku would have been defeated?

Ah well. Jack was never about super coherent plots. Can anyone explain how Aku was freed in the first episode? A solar eclipse. Sure, why not.

The future ending would have been better I think.

Because in reality you can't go back to the past. You can't undo what's been done. Jack should have stayed.

Sure there would still be a long way to go to restore the world but I'm fine with that. I like endings that aren't the absolute ending. jack and his friends continue to fight evil to restore the world.
