Jack was one of my childhood heroes. The way he would risk his life for strangers simply because it was the right thing to do was and still is inspiring.
For me, it was always that shtick about how he has an opportunity to go back to the past, but would have to make some sacrifice involving a friend and how he always would never do it. Eventually that became sort of the episodic staple, lengthening his adventure in the future, but as a child, I always wondered why he never just decided to go back to the past anyway, because doing so would have undone that situation, thus not necessitating his friend to be in that situation where he would have to be sacrificed for Jack to go back to the past. Now I'm older, I understand the value of Jack's decision from a deontological perspective. He refuses to compromise on letting his friends down even if it meant prolonging that future where Aku still ruled over. He sees the value of his friendships even in that grim future and puts that above setting the world right or embracing his destiny.
@@knightstormbringer that was very well put. Basically the same thought process went through my mind as well. It’s one thing to conclude abandoning your friends is the logical decision; it’s quite another to actually do that on an emotional level. Jack had a ton of heart so his choice was based in that. I suppose if you wanted to be technical, it’s not exactly clear how time travel effects future events. Many believe a separate timeline is created when this is done. If this is the case, then Jack staying behind in the future aku timeline makes a lot of sense logically too.
@@AegisAuras True. When I was younger I had a linear rather than branching view of time, I don't think the whole idea of parallel universes was very commonplace back then. My idea of timetravel was mainly from watching shows like Back to the Future. That and also the opening monologue did sorta imply Jack was gonna "undo the future that is Aku". Man. I miss this show lol.
@@knightstormbringer well, if i remember right, the situation when Jack did not use a 100% chance return to the past, but rescued his friends - it happened only once, when he met monks and there was temple with stone guards. All other times - he just stop (pause) searching to help strangers/friends in need. But, of course, helping them was always dangerous and he was risking to fail his main quest.
he was likely trained in every weapon and combat style in the beginning, I believe the ones training him knew something like loosing the sword may happen.
@@neofulcrum5013 himself, after training with all the weapon masters, he would know how to train new weapon/weapon systems, and its not hard to imagin him forcing a bot to teach him before he off's it, or go to a place that sells them and has a fast lesson on the basic's.
Ah, but samurai's *did* use guns... there was a brief period of time, before they faded out, that on the battlefield you could find samurai double-wielding a katana and a revolver on each hand!
@@arcadeinvader8086 the person's wrong. they used guns, yes, mostly long guns instead of bows but switch to a spear in closer range, then to sword in actually close range and ultimatelly dagger to the gut after a jiujitsu takedown if it ever came to that. forget your westernized illusion of samurai honor, and yes once revolvers were around there were folk who'd carry one alongside a katana, but the samurai were long gone by then
@@Breakaway-ic5gj but the character didnt get old. Everybody is just obsessed with Keanu, petting him in role of any character who has a long hair and beard
I keep seeing people make this joke do people honestly believe the samurai didn't use guns since the early 1500s? (hint: they did use guns since the 1500s)
Jack has changed a lot in those 50 years, I mean he only depended on his classic blade to defeat an Aku's army and now he knows how to use vehicles and other weapons to destroys the renewed Aku's army
Loved this edit. This whole season was just perfect. You have this tight introduction to Jack as a changed man. He's spent so many years fighting, he has lost so much, he has nearly lost what's left of his hope, all that he really has anymore is rage and sadness. He has been drained of everything else.
finally, a proper samurai jack montage with my favorite doom ost track. godspeed. excellent video, extremely well edited and fantastic with the pauses for dramatic effect. nothing but love from me.
I'm 30. I'm *old*. And I still remember Jack tearing through an army of those same robot beetles with nothing but his sword and crystal-tipped spears. Back then, it was a close call. A narrow victory. Jack's armor got torn off and he ended the fight in rags, coated in the bl... Oil of his foes. Here ? He literally mowed them down, without his sword. What few hits they managed to land on him were lucky shots. Even without his Sword, he is still the Samurai.
Davy Jones: do you fear death? Aku: I only fear the samurai they call Jack Davy Jones: ….. Aku: **nods** Davy Jones: good point, that guy scares the shit out of me
Fun Fact: The sound effect for the machine gun at 0:30 is an M-60 used by the US Military until the 1980s. It was made famous in Vietnam and its report was so iconic it became a quintessential machine gun sound.
I don’t know how doom became so quotable. I have said “rip and tear until it is done” in so many contexts separated from its original that it’s baffling. Gotta say though, it makes for a great catchphrase.
I won't lie if I'd seen this cartoon as a kid I would've been highly motivated to start taking martial arts not to mention did a good job of making us thinking this was a new hero or ally of Jack because Jack always just used his Sword when he could help it so him using guns and so much other heavy artillery was not like him

Samurai Jack taught me more about how to be a good person than anything
this sequence is really good to compare how life in the future has changed jack with the time he fought for the talking dogs
I got some strong spartan and Scotsmen vibes from this
Jack's true calling may have been the sword, but seeing him actually make use of the combat options available to him in the future was a true delight.
From Samurai to Tengu in a short period of time
Even without a sword Jack is still a legend

I always thought the robots were like a metaphor. A way to get around showing Jack killing a bunch of people or aliens.
I’m pretty sure that’s exactly what it was, an extremely clever way to skirt past the issue of depicting violence.
No living humanoids to spill real blood. It’s just oil and wires! Nothing wrong here :)
Yeah it is literally their version of Disney killing aliens and getting away with PG or PG-13

if someone does a live action samurai jack they definitely have to put john wick as jack i mean keanu reeves
Now we need a doom game with vehicles
My brain when he pulled out the staff and it zoomed to the minion my went "Boss i think it might be a trap"😂
i remember when the samurai drove motorbikes and used one handed miniguns
Jokes aside, Samurais did use revolvers.
holy hell i forgot how hard this background music went my goodness. Sent me to another dimension.
