The future obviously isn't fixed. Should've been obvious when the time portal's version of Jack didn't make it back.

He did exist until that point, everything inbetween Jack's banishment to the future and everything that happened in the series itself was there. Only when Ashi teleported them back did everything cease to exist. She kind of was a unexpected loophole

Why the fuck is /co/ so autistic it can't understand there is more than one way to write time travel?

It's going by the contiguous time theory theory, whereby there is only one timeline that can be altered. Aku altered the timeline, throwing Jack into the future with the sword. Jack went back in time, reverting Aku's original alteration which had caused a time paradox causing Jack to never age, since he was never supposed to be there to begin with.
The timeline sorted itself out soon after, fixing up the time paradox of Ashi existing.
Because Jack had never aged in the first place as far as time was concerned he had never left.

It's time travel bullshit, it doesn't actually make sense because it's impossible so insert logic here, regardless of what you do things are gonna be fucking bonkers.

Because the way it was written doesn't make sense

There are many wrong ways to write time travel. This is one of them.

If this is truth, then Ashi should been able to exist for the same amount of time jack spend on the future, because both lines happening at the same time on two different timelines happening at the same time.

>there are wrong ways to write something that doesn't exist

Sure thing bucko.

If there's no wrong way to write fiction then I guess your sonic fanfic can't be bad.

So if Jack's other self got sent into the time portal by Aku, where did he go now that the future that is Aku has been undone?

perfect triangles don't exist in the real world, but there are wrong ways to draw them.

>Aku sends Jack the the future, separating him from the timeline, allowing him to control events and set up his empire
>The events of the show happen in the future, leading to Jack being sent to his own time.
>Jack is stitched back into the past, changes events, and erases the future Aku created.
What's confusing about this? Have you never actually considered the different ways time travel is represented in fiction?

One way is a "stable time loop" in which there is only one chain of events, and you going back in time is part of your own past, so you can't "change" past events, just enact the ones that already happened and were meant to happen. Doctor Doom's time travel and Harry Potter time turners are like this.

If you thought Samurai Jack was one of those, you're a complete idiot, because the entire premise is Jack trying to "Undo the future that is Aku". The only thing that works is if it's Back to the Future style, in which changing things in the past directly effects things in the future.

>lets say that there is an acid capable of dissolving anything, such thing doesn't exists, but lets say it does...

>I bet I could drink that shit without anything happening to me!

>I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be able to do that

>THAT SHIT DOESN'T EXIST SO I CAN SAY WHATEVER THE FUCK I WANT ABOUT IT.

this is how you sound.

Seeing as Aku sent him to the future previous to Jack coming back through Ashi's portal, I'd say he went to Aku's future, then came back in the events we saw. The loop closes back on itself.
