Samurai Jack Season 5 Discussion

[Tactical Ochoa]

@Mortie-10 Yeah, like I said, I busted up into laughter. It's such an Aku moment and it was great.

[Ebomnitrix]

Actually something you should know
Greg plays Aku in Fusionfall as him, so technically its like he reprised his role in a way.
Also I'm so glad that Aku is still the same villain he was before, I mean despite the show has turned darker in a unique way, which we all love, Aku is still the cartoony Aku he was before... only he's just now depressed that he's still alive.

[Tactical Ochoa]

@Ebomnitrix Well, he wouldn't be Aku if that wasn't the case. If you're going to have Aku in Samurai Jack, he has to be freakin Aku.

What do you guys think will happen this season? I think that Jack somehow will get his sword back and fight that mysterious horse figure in the middle of the season. I also think Ashi and Jack will join forces, and maybe that wolf or whatever it was will survive and join Jack too. And I think Jack and Aku will have a showdown in episode 9 and Jack going back to the past and destroys Aku in one final battle in episode 10.

[Tactical Ochoa]

@Mortie-10 In regards to the mysterious horse figure, I don't think that's something that Jack is going to fight physically but instead mentally. I think that mysterious horse figure is just part of Jack's mental instability, symbolizing how Jack lost his ways or something. Maybe the mysterious horse figure is supposed to symbolize Jack's destiny calling back to him or something.

Maybe Ashi and Jack could team up. That's a possibility that came to mind for me. I doubt the wolf is going to survive though.

As for the final showdown, that depends. Aku mentioned that he destroyed all of the portals that lead back to the past and even Jack is aware of this. Now did Aku destroy all of them? Maybe. The one that the Guardian was protecting could still be up and both Jack and Aku aren't aware of this. Plus, Jack is destined to use that very time portal.

For me, I'm not entirely sure how this season is going to end. It could end with Jack finally returning back to the past and therefore we get more of a happy ending or he could remain stuck in the future and therefore could die after finally defeating Aku. Those are the two best directions that I thought of that they could go and it feels like this season is setting itself up for that.

Anyone seen episode 3? I think the episode was fantastic. I knew the wolf would survive and I really believe Ahsi will join Jack after a while now. The fight against the sisters was intense. And maybe your right Tactical Ochoa, the mysterious horse figure is most probably something Jack has to fight mentally. Overall this is the best episode I have seen so far.

[Tactical Ochoa]

@Mortie-10 Well, look at that. The wolf did survive after all. Nice. And hold up there buddy. There's still 7 more episodes left. Who knows what's nest that they have planned in store for us.

[Tactical Ochoa]

So I looked up the Daughters of Aku and apparently Tara Strong voiced Ashi and Avi while Kari Dahlgren voiced Ami and Aki.

Im looking forward too see The Scotsman again.

[Tactical Ochoa]

@Mortie-10 Season 5 takes place 50 years after season 4. I doubt the Scotsman's coming back.

[A Former User]

But I saw him in a trailer.

[Tactical Ochoa]

@Mortie-10 Really? I didn't notice him. Link?

[Tactical Ochoa]

@Mortie-10 Saw the trailer and looked up the Scotsman on the Samurai Jack wiki. Huh, I guess he is going to be in Season 5. Cool.

An interview with Greg Baldwin about Aku.

Episode 4 has aired. Got some nice banter between Jack and Ashi.

[A Former User]

@Tactical-Ochoa Wonderful episode. Loved the interactions between Ahsi and Jack. The Aku-puncter joke was pretty funny. Looking forward to see the Scotsman vs. Aku in the next episode.

[Tactical Ochoa]

Episode 5 is now out.

[Tactical Ochoa]

Episode 6 is now out. Damn. Talk about a trip down memory lane. That's a great episode right there.

[Tactical Ochoa]

Oh god damn it. I knew this was a matter of time for this to happen to but still.

Umm, I'm sorry, but not every goddamn show needs a gay character, like even the CW forces it on us so much it gets annoying, and there's literally race and alien diversity.
ALSO for Scaramouch, THIS IS PART OF HIS CHARACTER, LITERALLY THERE WILL BE SOME PEOPLE LIKE THIS BUT EVEN THEN, ITS NOT SEXISM.
Samurai Jack has always been Samurai Jack and nothing has changed, the only thing that has changed is the exploration of adult themes, and even then it doesn't feel like a drastic change at all, people are just complaining because every show they think needs to be "REALISTIC, NEEDS LOGIC, ALL THIS AND THAT" like not every show has to follow these themes, its annoying and stupid and any show that's on TV can be its own thing as long as its good, which it is.
For a first negative review of this show, its pretty stupid people would say this at all, they're thinking at it too intelligently and really stupid because not every show has to have logic, gay characters, realistic approaches and whatever, a show can do whatever it wants as long as they do it in an entertaining and right way to the viewer, that's legit how TV shows should be.
