Why bring him back at all?
to make you fags SEETHING with butthurt
>>92620571
So he could tell Aku that Jacko lost his swordo.
to facilitate aku crawling out of his cave so that things would be set up for the finale.
the real question is: why bother making him likable in the first place since his only role was send a message and die.
if he was bland or shitty, no one would even care how it played out
>>92620571
Instead of searching Aku this makes him come to Jack himself.
>>92620571
he killed an entire village, who cares
>>92620571
For the sake of being a plot device, such is every character in Season 5 that isn't Jack or Aku.
>>92620571
He was the reason Aku came to confront Jack.
>>92620571
Because if they did something else, he would not fulfill the role of a Scaramouche in opera.
>ask yourself how and why he died
>remember that aku didn't knew about jack's endeavors
>remember who was a damn fun character that could bring some good levity to the show and pair that with the plot point of Jack's sword
As for being completely forgotten, what did you want? For someone to mourn him? Even his death had comedic timing.

>waaah i get sad with actions with no stakes explained via exposition waaah
>>92620571
To give Aku a reason to pursue Jack. Which ultimately bled into the finale.
>>92620571
For comedy.
