If the show had just decided to end with >!Ashi!< disappearing right after they kill Aku, like when his lair falls down and then >!she !<just fades away with a few last words, it would've been fine. Sad but acceptable and logical.

Instead what we get is a sad ending for the sake of a sad ending. Aku dies and >!Ashi !<is fine. Weird but okay. Then weeks (but probably months) pass by and the whole city is being rebuilt and people getting their lives back together and yada yada.

Jack is happy and at peace, he walks down anddddd wham! >!she !<just fades away. Fuck you. That was a bullshit sad ending and you know it. God! It still pisses me off everytime I think about it.

Yes, I know we have the tie-in game and the secret ending...but c'mon man, that's still kind of a cop out.

The Jump Good training should have also enhanced Jack's other physical attributes not just his Jumping power, especially regards to the strength, speed and stamina related to his legs, but by how much?

Anyone got a reasonable idea how much faster Jack's running speed, how much stronger his leg strength (weighted back squat, leg press and etc) should be and other attributes?

Hey everyone, I’m planning a rewatch of Samurai Jack and thought I’d come up with a list that cuts out my least favourite and “filler” episodes. I know that every episode of the series is worth a watch, but since this isn’t my first time through, I think this list is pretty comprehensive for a rewatch. Did I miss anything? Let me know!

hey guys I wanted to ask if anyone has seasons 2-4 in German (or all seasons) maybe someone knows where I can stream or buy them so far I've only found DVDs or streams in English and other languages I don't necessarily want to stream illegally, I actually want to buy a file or DVD

Please can you help me :3

Does Aku have any redeeming qualities? Would it be possible to reform him or have him and Jack team up against a greater evil?

Making a game set in the world of Samurai Jack - need input from its biggest fans!

I am making a card game loosely set in the world of Samurai Jack. Samurai Jack was the inspiration for the theme and the style of the artwork. We’re getting close to finishing the artwork, but I don’t have a good character for the Jokers yet. So I’d love to get some suggestions from this community on the type of character for the Jokers. 

Bit of background about the game: River Rats is a strategic hand management card game set aboard a luxurious futuristic riverboat in the world of Samurai Jack. It can be played with a regular deck of playing cards, and I am making a special deck for the purpose of this game. The Robotic Rich Rats are the upper-class guests who like to amuse themselves by forcing the crew to play high-stakes poker against them. The players take on the roles of the crew, working together to build stronger poker hands than the Rich Rats. If they play their cards right, they can rely on their fellow crew members to help sneakily craft the best hand. Each of the four crew factions (suits) comes with its own unique actions, and players will need to use these abilities, and their own special powers, wisely to outwit the Rich Rats and send them back to their cabins a little poorer. 

The characters are all a type of anthropomorphic animal doing an action that matches the gameplay:

• River Rats: are robotic rats who are very wealthy and are the enemy in the game

Animal per suit

• Otters (spades): are always sneakily discarding something. 
• Bugs (diamonds): are always trying to swap or trade.
• Crocodiles (hearts): are taking a risk.
• Birds (clubs): are either working hard or adding something. 

The Jokers in the game can become any of the suits (normal mode), can remove a card from the River Rat’s hand (advanced mode), or allows you to better the combination of the players by taking some risk (expert mode).

What do you think would be a good type of character for the Jokers? 

I don't know where to put this but, when are we gonna get an official Samurai Jack artbook?

💀

Am i the only one that feels a bit weird about jack and ashi. like jack is at least 70 years old and ashi was born after jack came to the future. I'm only on s5.e8 so maybe they don't fall for each other but it sure feels like it. jack is physically in his 20s but idk.

Damn, what a great cartoon show it is! (I feel like this post is gonna be long. And English is not my first language. Please forgive me in case my English is bad).

The show is sometimes all over the place, handling themes of ancient myths, robots, aliens, monsters, etc which makes it funny, funky, logical, silly (which adds up to its charm), yet, all these add up to the beauty of the show.

Coming to the protagonist, Samurai Jack, I find him hauntingly relatable. May it be that he is a lone warrior, may it be how he carries the burden of the fate of the world, may it be how patient he is of, may it be how vulnerable to his rage >!post losing his sword!<. Him being affectionate towards other living beings amongst all these hard courses he goes through is something I admire about him the most. Thus told that being relatable, how he overcomes his vulnerabilities is what that has inspired me, and maybe it's the one that inspires me to write this post!

And artwork, how do I explain the beauty of this? I literally have no forking words. Though I enjoy modern animations like Arcane, I always think animations during 1990s to early 2000s has its own charm. I always thought Batman TAS is going to be my favourite artwork forever. Now I think Samurai Jack will replace it. Peak artwork for real!

Peak cartoon, man! Peak!

Thanks for making it all way till the end. I'll try to write another post about my favourite episode in this sometime later

So I recently went back and rewatched Samurai Jack. It was sooooo much better than I remembered as a child, and Season 5 was great imo all the way until like..the last few episodes. The episodes prior to the last weren’t bad imo, but the intensity and momentum could’ve been more consistent. What really bothered me though is that Jack’s showdown with Aku was anticlimactic (which I get in part bc they intentionally didn’t want to give Aku a ton of screen time) annnnnd I HATE that they killed off Ashi. The one time Jack finally gets some happiness and falls in love..and they kill her off on their wedding day midway down the aisle…it just felt needlessly cruel imo. Like after so long, it would’ve been really nice to see Jack get a happy ending.

What do you guys think? I’m probably late to this conversation but I’d still be interested in hearing what other fans think.

I do have an art account where I post most of my work. This work is done all in graphite.
