This episode and its follow-up, XCIV, give me the bad impression that if Samurai Jack is better as an Adult Party Cartoon, then it was always geared towards the wrong audience in the first place. Much like Ren in Ren Seeks Help, Stimpy/Aku only appears in the first 3 minutes and are gone from the rest of it to spare them from seeing how cruel Ren/Jack has become. They both have a grisly flashback that would never be allowed in the original kid version to show what a cruel killer they are in the new adult version (except in Jack's case, it didn't come until XCIV after he already killed someone in XCIII). If there was anything kids enjoyed about Ren Hoek or Samurai Jack before, then this new Adult Party Cartoon version has stripped them of that. Even adults now who used to watch them as kids in the previous decade wouldn't like to see this. Jack has to either kill Aku's daughters or kill himself because this teaches us that murder or suicide is the only honorable thing to do. It's too bad Adult Swim wasn't around when Samurai Jack originally premiered on Cartoon Network in 2001 if this is what they originally wanted the show to be like, but at least the last 3 episodes of this season that conclude the show for good are okay for the original audience to watch.

I guess I'd better get ready for a Gravity Falls/Star vs. the Forces of Evil Adult Party Cartoon in the 2020s, when Mabel/Star will become a cruel killer from a grisly flashback in the 2nd episode and Dipper/Marco will only be allowed to appear with them in the first 3 minutes. I think Aku was also just as ruined as Samurai Jack in this episode, because in addition to Jack killing people now and not just robots, Aku no longer cares about destroying Samurai Jack, which is not who he was 6 episodes earlier in Jack vs. Aku.
