he didn't forget about everything that happened in the future once he got back to the past. it is all just memories now to him
>jack was talking about how everyone he loved in the past was just memories in episode 9
>everyone jack loved in the future are now memories also

My brain hurts. So what happened to that Jack realistically? Did he stop existing the moment Aku was slain?

>>92562754
I interpreted it that Jack got flung into the future, experienced it all, and then returned all within a few seconds after Aku opened the original one.

>>92562153
>It wasn't worth it... He shouldn't have gone back, back to the past.
Honestly, I was kind of hoping he wouldn't in the end, and that all the portals being destroyed was a setup to him ending up defeating Aku in the future and rebuilding the world.

>>92562859
Same. There's only one Jack.

>>92562859

But that makes no fucking sense. If Jack returned to the past and killed Aku then how did Aku ever have a thousand year reign?

>>92563438
It's true. Jack returns to the past to kill Aku, which means Aku never gets the chance to reign. Jack ends up in the future and can just take the first time portal out with no interference from Aku, causing two Jacks to appear. Unless the original Jack ceases to exist since he never would have made it back with Ashi.

So basically Jack gets home quicker and most of his adventures never happen.

>Jack goes back to the past, undoing literally everything that happened

They should have gone with the Multiverse route, because the rules they choose for time travel make jack a dumbass for not jumping into the first timeportal instead of 'saving' people. Saving them literally didn't matter.

>>92562153
This ending was so fucked.
>Ashi disappears because she would never exist without Aku
>future jack never would have made it back in time without Ashi's Deus Ex Machina
>Future jack should have disappeared as well
>the entire timeline should have ceased to exist
>this causes a causal loop, where Jack never goes back in time to stop Aku therefore Aku reigns and creates Ashi who then helps Jack kill Aku in the past


He shouldn't have gone back because it makes no fucking sense. God I hate Ashi so fucking much.

>she could not bring jack back to the past
>therefore jack never kills aku
Aku is the true winner here.

>>92562153
>Jack forgot about all his adventures
No. Where the hell did you pull that from?
And now that he's back in his own time he's no longer immortal.

He has honor though.
And to a samurai, that's all he ever wanted.
