So Jack lost his sword for fifty years but all he had to do to

>>82250308
Approved.

>>82250308
so you say you have a sexual identity crisis but all you have to do is sit down and meditate for a few hours

The show turned out to be complete garbage, dont be surprised. "Based" Genndy putting a final nail in the coffin of western cartoons.

>>82250308
it's also bullshit that the sword left him because he killed a few goats that Aku had transformed into giant monsters trying to kill him

>lost his beard
I guess we won't get the King Jack ending.

>>82250308
Wow its almost like you've never seen the original show. But that couldn't be, right? I'm sure you're a fan of Samurai Jack.

>>82250411
i've seen all the episodes

it's lazy and you know it

>>82250411
well then what the fuck was jack doing for fifty years if he could've gotten his sword back at any time just by thinking about it

>>82250435
>i've seen all the episodes
Sure

How is it lazy? Because it doesn't do what you were hoping? What the fuck did you want? Jack didn't lose his sword, the sword abandoned him when he killed those goats. That's completely fitting with the tone of the show.

>>82250308

>being this dumb you can't see past the visual surface

must suck to be retarded

>I was a shitty nostalgia grab cartoon of poor quality

End it

>>82250562
No he couldn't have, because he's a broken mess of a man with some serious issues that he had to work through. Having Ashi pull him back from the brink the previous episode hammered in the point that Jack has incredible guilt and anger over being trapped in the future. He wasn't fit to wield the sword.

Why did the quality of the show drop off so steep after the first 4 episodes

>>82250308
Everything past episode 3 is a total mess, dont bother

Ashi ruined the entire season.

To understand zen, it may take you three seconds. It may take you 30 years.

I mean that

Jack's sword won't even let him kill monster goats that are trying to kill him? The sword does know its supposed to be a weapon that kills things, right?

>>82250579
so the sword left him because he killed some rabid giant goats in self defense?

What about that scene where Jack's father killed all those human beings when they attacked his family, dipshit. The sword didn't disappear then

"The choices we make, and the consequences that follow, are reflections of who you really are"

so jack says when he slaughters the daughters of aku, who were just as brainwashed as those goats. Self-defense is not a crime, it's a bullshit reason for jack to lose the sword and just seems like the writers phoned it in

>>82250733
No it didn't leave him because he killed some rabid goats in self defense

It left him because he killed some rabid goats out of anger and frustration

>>82250733
Why the fuck are you even arguing with people that think that every episode is 10/10.

Those shits come from /co/ to pollute other boards with their tiny brains. The show is shit and I guarantee its going to get bad reviews after this whole fiasco ends.

>>82250677
it took me 2 seconds, so you were wrong faggot

>>82250733
>so the sword left him because he killed some rabid giant goats in self defense?
Those were obviously innocent beasts corrupted by Aku. Jack could have figured out a way to stop them without killing them, but he was mad as hell and just killed them.

For fucks sakes, if you can't keep up with a cartoon, just kill yourself.

>>82250816
Not every episode was a 10/10, but this latest episode was fantastic and definitely one of the best this season.

>>82250805

He also had mentally given up on his purpose after the last portal was just destroyed

>>82250964
I laughed at that part because I knew people would get triggered by it. Fuck off, it was an army of mooks and her mom gave her a whooping right after.

>>82250709
Jack could have saved them. They were innocent. But he went full-on REEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Aku is going to create whatever time portal jack uses to get back to the past

screencap this post

>>82250308
Did a new episode just release?

I had a dream of the second to last episode of the season. Jack finds his sword in some battlefield and it was a trap by Aku. Then Aku resurrects the sisters, dons some samurai outfit, and takes the sword. Then I woke up.

>>82250308
They've been pulling this rushed, poorly written shit since the fourth episode.

>>82250667
It really does feel like Genndy originally wanted to keep the story focused on Jack, but for whatever reason decided to shoehorn Ashi at the last minute. The sheer drop in quality from episode 4 onwards compared to the first 3 is staggering.

>>82251165
Yes, new episode, and it has a fair bit of THICC

>>82250384
it wasn't because he killed those goats. it's because jack's rage and selfishness took over. once he finally confronted himself, he became "balanced" and able to have his sword.

>its a /tv/ can't keep up with a children's cartoon show episode

It wasn't the meditation it was letting go of his anger and frustration,something he couldn't do until he left his suicidal thoughts and guilt.Its not even that complicated

>>82250308
Lots of people waste long periods of time over problems aren't that complicated or hard to solve. I'm sure people on this website can relate.

I'm glad I'm not the only one to think the show feels really rushed and sloppy. I've been in a bit of an echo chamber and all I hear was praise that I couldn't always agree with.

Just with this kind of story they are trying to tell, they should have pushed to get 50 minute long episodes because they are just rushing through character development so quickly. Ashi wanting to hear the truth from Jack came way too quickly for a character who just learned that everything they know is a lie.

>>82252792
i was surprised there was so much nostalgia for the old show. the pacing has always been wonky and the episodes were sometimes ripped completely from japanese media (but it's a 'homage' so it's fine to steal?)

He didn't lose the sword because of the goats. He lost the sword because he gave into anger and hatred.

At that point the Ghost Samurai Spirit started haunting him and his own Rage started haunting him. One was an external force keeping him from realizing the truth, the other was an internal force keeping him from realizing the truth.

It was a 2 vs 1 deal. While Jack could deal with either an external or internal conflict on his own, being tag teamed is what caused him to wallow in misery, and only through companionship was he able to overcome both. First, when faced with the sisters when the White Wolf came and gave him strength to continue, and second with Aishi who provided support to overcome. It's fucking basic stuff guys. The lesson is you can't carry a burden alone and Jack's stoicism and martyrdom were what crushed him. If, instead of fucking off by himself everytime he made an ally or saved someone, he instead slowly built a team of allies to help him overcome, he'd have finished this shit years ago.

But his YAMATO DAMASHI kept him from doing that.

You're making up a lot of stuff to justify this poor writing. Especially for bad episodes with plots that were done better in the earlier seasons.

>>82258122
Why does everyone assume he lost it 50 years ago, most likely it was sometime more recently (say a few years or so) than that, since Aku never found out that entire time.

>doesn't bother to look for it for 50 years because he's mad he can't get to the past and he killed a few goats
He did look for it, he said he couldn't find it. The sword abandoned him because he let rage take himself over and became unbalanced.

Can't tell if trolling or haven't been paying attention to easily-followed plot.

>>82258168
Are you stupid? How is that episode even relevant in this discussion, other than it had evil Jack counterpart in it?

>>82250308
Now that you put it like that this is an asspul.

>>82259388

When it comes to Jack's sword that isn't the first time the mysticism around it has been acknowledged, remember, in the ultrabots episode he prayed to ancients smiths and got the necessary power to slice through the last one.

>>82250709
>goats

>>82250308
I'll spoonfeed you then. Only when he got to the bottom he realized he didn't lose the sword, the sword left him. LotR one ring -style (kinda).

He didn't understand this earlier, which is why he didn't know to meditate.

Tara Strong ruins everything she touches. If something isn't 100% centered around her character, it either gets changed, or a new main character shows up voiced by her.

So what was the point of bringing Scaramouch back just to nix him not even a minute later? That was a real slap in the face to the viewers. Then they give Jack his sword back next episode solidifying that scars moment literally meant nothing but to make a dick joke.

He was probably the most interesting character even if Yale University says he's a bad stereotype of the gays

Jack used to do that shit every goddamn episode, and she's been trained her whole life to be a savage killing machine.

I see literally no reason why Ashi soloing the army is out of place considered the tone and setting of the show.

>>82260226
He's probably meant to tell Aku that Jack doesn't have the sword so Aku explosively zooms across the planet to come down on Jack's ass not knowing that he just got the sword back.

>>82260226
>He was probably the most interesting character even if Yale University says he's a bad stereotype of the gays

Bottlenecking. They were fighting on a narrow cliffside.

>>82253647
Well the reason he didn't keep contact with said allies was cause he wanted to go to the past asap, not spend 50 years in the future.

I can't remember the last time i saw people go from furiously circlejerking something to outright hating it.

Genndy must have really fucked up.

I thought the last episode was pretty okay, but would have been much better if they focused on Jack in his meditations and got rid of the whole orc army thing.

If it was just Ashi vs her mother, it would have been complete kino.

You can't dispute this.

My guess is that Ashi's purpose (other than being a romantic interest) will be as a foil to bring out Jack's guilt/conflict when he eventually gets the opportunity to go back in time (erasing the future and Ashi along with it.

The sword did not leave because of anything he killed, the sword left because that was the moment that made Jack snap. The combination of seeing the final time portal destroyed and seeing the dead bodies of the little sheep finally let that inner "angry jack" come back. You can tell because the sword came back as soon as he destroyed the angry jack. It the sword leaving was directly because of him killing, he would have had to give them a burial and ask for forgiveness or some shit.
