    Episode 7 is out. Jack get's his swooord baaack. Also um, unless you're Jack himself, it's not the best idea to piss off Ashi...ever.

    ?

    @Tactical-Ochoa What a good episode. It was great to see a "flashback" of good old Jack losing his sword. And it was epic as hell seeing Ashi defeat the whole army and her mother by herself. I doubt her mother is gone tough. And Jack finally got his sword and old look back. Now we are closing in to the finale, I wonder how it will turn out. My guess is that Jack dies and Ashi use the sword to kill Aku, or otherwise. Actually I hope both survive, but I think that one of them will die, but surely don't hope its Ashi. Shes my new favorite character.

    @Mortie-10 Oh my god, Ashi just demolishes that entire army. I love how she uses one of the warriors as a shield to use to plow through a good chunk of the army, causing many of them to fall off the rock formation. I laughed so much from that scene. So ridiculously glorious. Like the movie "300" except it's just one chick and she freakin wins.

    @npzman
    I understand why.
    Most of the Samurai Jack fans from 2001-2004 are now adults, Season 4 ended 13 years ago so it makes sense.

    And I'm glad it's not on Cartoon Network anymore because it would be a screwed up "Comedy" show.

    I loved episode 8. Best episode so far. Im think Im gonna make a top 10 episodes list once this series is over. I loved Jack and Ashis realitionship in this episode and loved they become a couple. I was nice to see Ashi naked again and Jacks reaction to it. Overall very good episode. Looking forward to the finale.

    @Tactical-Ochoa Im not to impressed with episode 9. Sure it is a good episode, but it starts and ends a way I don't like. It start with revealing that Jack and Ashi wasn't... you know... during the night, whitch everybody belived happened. Scaramouche is back atleast, but his voice sounds like if Tom Kenny was sick during recording. And his interactions with Aku where fantastic. However, I don't like that Aku killed him. Jack and Ashi conversation about defeating Aku was pretty strong. I also liked the fact that Jack is in fact dating the daughter of his worst enemy. I don't like that Ashi was turned evil again and that Jack gave up. Such a bad ending. But I guess since it is a two-parter its kinda expected. So far the weakest episode of season 5, but not a bad one.

    THE FINALE IS HERE!!! And god how good it was. The finale battle against Aku was the best thing ever. The Scotsman was at his best. It was really funny seeing the old theme with Mako again. And Jack is finally back to the past and finally destroys Aku. It was extremely sad seeing Ashi fade away from existence. I hoped so mutch that she and Jack would marry and have kids. Im sure the ladybug at the end is Ashi's spirit talking to Jack. Most powerful episode of the season. My favorite is episode 8 though. Here is my top ten episode list:
    *Episode 8
    *Episode 10
    *Episode 6
    *Episode 7
    *Episode 2
    *Episode 3
    *Episode 5
    *Episode 1
    *Episode 4
    *Episode 9

    @james I'm guessing not anymore because he's now back in his own time period.

    I'm pretty neutral on my thoughts about the reboot. It's not for me and I understand that some people have enjoyed watching it so I don't like to constantly whine and complain about it. But for me it does not match up to the writing in the Prime continuity, especially not to the original series which the reboot shares so many characters and concepts with. I was looking at parent reviews of OS Ben 10 on the slightly infamous site "Common Sense Media" out of boredom today since I only have one exam left. And what I read has led me to believe that there is a huge reason why the reboot seems to be restraining itself when it comes to everything to storytelling to character development to the transformation sequences and even the art style: because CN don't want the parents to be concerned and then ban their kids from watching the show (which would lead to less toy sales and profit). I will say that there are a great deal of parents who do approve of and highly recommend the show and deem it perfectly watchable for kids, although sometimes it may be worth having the parents watch it with them. However, there are also some parents who do not like the OS at all. Many seemed to be concerned that because the show had so many action scenes and admittedly brutal fight scenes, it would lead to their kids becoming violent because the kids couldn't differentiate between reality and fiction. They also seemed to despise how the relationship between Ben and Gwen was presented and how Ben was not a good role model for children due to his cockiness and immaturity. The alien designs also seemed to strike a nerve because they looked like (I quote) "something straight out of hell" and apparently some were far too scary. To all of that, my main response would be that Ben 10 was never meant to be a show just for kids, which seems to be a mistaken impression shared by many parents. It was made first and foremost to be an engaging and compelling show for all ages, with the main target demographic being 10-14 year olds - so not little kids. Yes there is violence but it is not graphic and in my view is necessary to an extent given that it is an action show. The relationship between Gwen and Ben is presented in a very realistic way rather than a 'candy' way (as I read someone saying on the website in defence of the show). They argue and bicker like siblings and are indeed imperfect characters but they do grow throughout the show and actually end up being more relateable for those watching who also aren't perfect. As for the alien designs, well, they're meant to be aliens and not superheroes in suits. Of course they're going to be weird looking and occasionally intimidating. I always thought that the designs were great even when I was much younger. So my conclusion from this? The opinions of a significant portion of parents (as I imagine that these views would be echoed outside of review websites) explain A LOT of the changes which we saw the reboot. The alien designs were changed to look more humanoid and less alien looking and "scary", and the art style was made simpler with a brighter colour pallet to stop younger kids getting scared. Ben and Gwen's relationship showed them getting along for the vast majority of the time to apparently set a better example to kids. The fight scenes are far more toned down and less creative than the original series. The villains are not as intimidating and there aren't significant consequences. One of the major reasons for so many of the reboot's changes is because the network wanted to cash in on the viewership of the younger end of their demographic of 5-10 years old, and so toned down the show so that their parents did not prevent them from watching. This might explain why a lot of Cartoon Network's shows are toning it down these days especially when compared to the mid 200s era. I'm really not trying to diss the parents here and I totally empathise with their concern for their children's wellbeing. Parenting can be rough at times (or so I am told by my parents). For me the solution would be to have sensible discussion with the kids and allow them to understand that lets say, Ben only fights against criminals or other really bad people and never used his aliens to attack anyone else . The misconception of 'all cartoons being for kids' often leads parents to make the mistake of allowing their young children to watch animated programmes which may be too complex or dark for their age, and then with the parents subsequently blaming the programme, it leads to CN making things more younger kid friendly at the cost of alienating the older side of their fanbase. For me, my parents were always cool with me watching Ben 10 as long as I didn't watch too much TV and as far as I remember I never developed behaviour problems while watching the show. In fact I'd think it's the opposite - I thought of Ben as a great role model while growing up, and the fact that he was imperfect only made me relate to him more.

    @Tactical-Ochoa I feel ya. I have been closing for my job which means i am the one that has to make sure everything is in tip top shape for the morning and it can be hard work all by yourself. I sometimes work 2 hours overtime just to get everything done. I am also starting college in 2 weeks so its been alot of work to get stuff ready for that.
