    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.

    @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.

    @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.

    @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.

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

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

    @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.

    @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.

    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.

    It's Action Time!

    Sorry for not replying in a while. The last two episodes was fantastic. Seeing Ashis transformation was pretty good. Thats have you do character development. I don't like that Aku killed the Scotsman, but atleast he returned as a ghost. It was very nice to see him again. It was seeing all those people Jack helped again. And seeing Scaramouth and Demongo again was very suprising. And Scaramouths infamous line was the best line ever. And I really like seeing adult Ashi naked, even if she have been naked the whole time though. The scene with her as a child was very terryfiyng to watch. I also like the samurai song. And I loved that she saved Jack in the end. Would have been cool if the Grim Reaper was voiced by Greg Eagles like in Billy and Mandy though. I guess there is more to say, but whatever. Two fantastic episodes and Im looking forward to episode 7 and the rest of the season.

    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.

    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.

    Well, unfortunately, just like before, Fullerton wasn't able to provide anything. Also, she said that she's not involved with the Ben 10 reboot. Well at least not yet as she said. At least it was worth a try though.
