Most of that has to do with the quiet and creepy atmosphere, and the absolutely terrifying sound-effects and the creature. This is one of two episodes that used to scare the crap out of me.
Soon, it becomes apparent that an evil spirit haunts the castle and it's after Jack and the girl. While trying to search for the girl and give her back the teddy bear she dropped, Jack is plagued by disturbing visions. While traveling a dark forest, Jack encounters a terrified little girl and follows her to an abandoned feudal Japanese castle. It's a really nice way to end the episode.įun fact! This is the very last episode where Mako voiced Aku. The episode ends on.ironically.the same way he described it in the beginning: Flying over the horizon and saying that he'll be back. Jack's constant smug smile is just glorious it's like he knows that he just trolled the most evil being on the planet, and he's having fun seeing Aku's misery. Aku's reaction when trying to find the real sword always cracks me up, since he can't take it anymore. This is another hilarious moment, since it relies on "cartoon logic", and it works splendidly well. Jack then informs Aku that he made multiple fake swords, and Aku is driven mad when he tries to figure out which is the real sword. They argue about who broke the rules first, but it ends with Aku trying to destroy Jack's sword, turning out to be a fake. However, instead of finding his sword, he finds a friendly letter to Jack that tells him to look behind him, and he finds one of Aku's minions holding his sword. When Jack realizes that Aku can't follow the rules, he goes to get his sword. Aku is so outmatched that he starts being afraid of Jack, and resorts to cheating It shows that Jack is still a competent fighter even without his sword, and how outmatched Aku is to him without his powers. The fight between Jack and Aku is also fantastic. The reason why this sequence is hilarious is because it looks like a friendly but forced conversation between two arch-enemies who hate each other, but have to tolerate it. The following scene is them discussion about where Jack has to go, and Aku even offers Jack a ride, and they finish they're conversation with both of them giving a fake smile. What follows is one of the funniest moment from the show, where Aku keeps sending bounty hunters to destroy Jack, but all of them fail not because of Jack but because of their own incompetence, and Aku's reactions are simply hilarious.Īnother hilarious scene is when Aku teleports to Jack, and instead of outright saying why he's there, he instead breaks the 4th wall and explains to Jack the entire formula of the show, as a way to express how annoying and repetitive it has become. Plus, it gave birth to the meme: "EXTRA THICK", which any people have used to refer to "thicc" (voluptuous) female characters. The beginning is especially hilarious, since it looks like Aku is ordering pizza, when in reality he was ordering a bounty hunter via phone. Aku agrees, but at the duel, things are a little different. Jack agrees under the condition that Aku must not use his powers and fight him only with the form of a man while Jack will not use his sword. He heads off to Jack and demands Jack to battle him one on one at some ruins. With a title like that, you's think this would be the final battle between Jack and Aku, but in reality it's just another episode, but a very good one.įed up with the constant failures of his minions, Aku decides to take matters into his own hands. The reason I'm doing this is because Samurai Jack is my favorite childhood show, and because 3 weeks ago was its finale, I decided to countdown my favorite episodes from the first 4 seasons, and after this, I'm going to countdown my favorite episodes from Season 5, as a way to honor it.
However, I won't be talking about my favorite episodes from Season 5, but instead I'll be talking about my favorite episodes from Seasons 1-4, then I'm going to countdown my favorite episodes from Season 5.
Like everyone, I was incredibly satisfied with the ending, and it almost brought a tear to my eye that my favorite childhood show finale got it's well-deserved ending. The conclusion that many of us wanted to see for years. Three weeks ago was Samurai Jack's long-awaited finale.
