Superior ending

that's not an ending

>>92627691
wtf i realized this never fucking got brought up

>>92628820
It did. Guardian's shattered glasses were seen in the second to last episode, implying that Aku killed him.

>>92628863
no I mean pic related, him being some old crowned bearded warrior what was that MENT to lead too

>>92627691
This could actually still happen.

>After losing Ashi Jack realizes he no longer has anything to live for

>He's spent 70 years questing to destroy Aku, but now Aku's dead and Jack has no purpose.

>He is still one of the greatest warriors to ever live, though, so he figures there must be something he can do.

>He leaves Japan in search of a new meaning to his life

>Over decades he participates in many righteous battles throughout the world, helping to shape history in a different way than before

>In his old age he is hailed as a warrior king

>The Guardian wasn't looking at who Jack would become before returning to the past, but who he would be afterward.

how isn't it? it is the conclusion of jack's journey, just as straightforward as it always was. The hero underwent many trials and fought his way home.

>>92627691
We already knew that not happening was a likely possibility because the stop aging thing and the statement that all time portals were destroyed.

>>92628906
This but without the depressing shit. Jack returns to the life he led before it was torn away from him, and eventually becomes said king.

>>92628887
It was just a scene from a show that was episodic in nature, so calm down

>>The Guardian wasn't looking at who Jack would become before returning to the past, but who he would be afterward.
