I got to watch the old series on tv, the light vs dark was amazing. Course really any of Jacks fights are epic and Aku is just the perfect evil guy. Was really disappointed on how they ended the original, and incredibly happy when I got to watch it complete.
@@joshdavies6465yea, but look at the guardian fight. it was very unusual for me as a kid to see jack defeated. so my favorite episodes were those where he almost did lose.
Jack is OUTRAGIOUS he changes styles, makes use of any weapon he get's ahold of Seamlessly, Adapts on the Fly, can Switch from Defense to offence while Reading not only the opponent but the surroundings like no other in fiction.
@@tuber420 no other Shonen craps (Yeah craps cause they don't even have a backstory) come even close to being Samurai Jack. All other shonen craps writers' just come with non-sense, that's why only a handful of Shonen manga/anime captures the attention of non manga/anime enjoyers and those are the shonen jump manga/anime that transcends time barrier and become legends.
Powerpuff girls: professor is that you Samurai jack:yes I am Powerpuff girls:wow professor your so strong with your sword Samurai jack: is that my abilities, speed, power,and strength as a samurai Powerpuff: 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 your amazing professor
Yeah that Matchup was tough for Jack especially, normally he'd use his immense skill to beat opponents bigger and stronger than him, but this Guardian guy was also able to keep up with him in fighting skill, Young Jack didn't stand a chance, I wouldve loved to see old jack fight him tho, since he should be worthy by then
I loved the guardian, he was so full of himself and charismatic, but the best part it's that he wasn't a robot or a magical creature, but just a human being with pure sheer force and with that he dominated jack much more than any foe he faced.
Despite so many of them having such great visually artistic take, I think my favorite is the bounty hunters trying to take him down: the whole episode is spent envisioning their strategy which then falls apart in ways they didn't think it could, all within merely seconds, the realization of which hits the remaining bounty hunter; all wrapped up nicely by giving her a motive that doesn't let her loss feel like a simple happy ending. It just felt real to me. Often we have something play out in our heads in various ways only for the events to take turn in a direction we never expected and for two people being at odds with one another, despite them probably having common ideals and goals.
That's what I loved about that episode and in the end everything She said came true. He's stronger than he looks and his weapon easily defeated the Russian, His didn't fall for a meager distraction, and his senses were sharp enough that he was able to pick up the moment that the blow dart was coming. Following it up that in terms of strategy he was able to utilize the strengths of the final assassin to his advantage. Its not plot armor, Jack litterally spent his entire life working on those skills. (I always had a head cannon that the princess would come back to work with jack later on. Yet that never came to fruition.)
@@soopcan4980 There was a scene earlier where the Princess was timing the drop of water to her blade. Which we could time the drops, but at the very least the entire thing could've taken like 3 seconds.
That was a fun one but I liked the early season one episode where he has so many bounty hunters going after him he actually gets mad. The various designs including Hunter from Dextar's Lab popping up was a lot of fun.
Yessir, even with limited budget they SQUEEZED everything they could to make it look good and animated so well, alot of thought was put into it, and my god the music and sound effects🙌🏾amazing stuff
Imo they were more menacing than the daughters. Because machinery literally is not prone to mistakes a human is. Humans can adapt however but jack looked overwhelmed and needed the mechanical arm to take them down.
The final fight against Aku, the creative team used Mako's lines from episode one for this scene, bringing the entire series (Like this scene of Jack reappearing in the past after his past self was sent to the future) to a complete circle. Thank you, Adult Swim Team, for putting so much love and care into creating the final season of Samurai Jack, and giving us fans the ending we've been wishing for years!
Even though Jack knew he couldn’t defeat Aku without his sword, he knew Aku would cheat as it is his nature, Jack must have had some satisfaction of pummeling his greatest enemy with his fists.
Two Googolplex is beyond crazy. That is 20 to the two hundredth power, so that's 20 plus two hundred zeroes behind that, and that Merida-looking bounty hunter was gonna multiply that by ten to the entire crew...does not compute
Well, let's say that one googolplex is barely enough to buy/free an entire nation. She promised to make all their people free and others. I like to think Jack learned this and let her live.
The robot assassins with Jack gaining the power of the heavens is one of the best episodes of the series and some of the greatest scenes ever put on tv
The extended fight from Season 3 Episode 4, where Jack has to take on hordes of undead warriors is so amazingly choreographed and deserves recognition as one of the best fights of the series!
The most amazing thing about Samurai Jack that I didn’t appreciate when I was a kid was the sound. No or little music in fights. Just the little sounds of foot steps, swords striking. Whoever did the sound design of the show was a master
They're all good, the guy is a real master. Hard to pick, but yeah SJ is at least as good as any of them Side note: his Clone Wars is 100x better than the other one (and its not even that bad, his is just excellent)
Really wish that Genndy come back to the series for another season. I really want to see Jack during those 50 years gap. Like he get that his guns or motorcycle in the first place?
1:03 Like, The fact that aku thought he could beat jack in a fight😂😂😂 He loses to him every episode.What made him think that the thing that was causing him to lose was the fact that he was just using a sword?
You’ve missed out on so much lol it’s so gawddamn good. Also look into his Star Wars cartoon and primal. From the man who brought you hotel Transylvania, Primal is such a shift hahaha
@@mcbdllc2848 simply Genndy Tartakovsky, the man directed dexters lab and power puff girls then soley focused on samurai jack after their original run ended
10:24 - As a kid I thought “googolplex” was just a made-up word the writers came up with that was supposed to sound futuristic and alien. As an adult, I realize that Aku really was offer a whole sh*t-ton of money to kill Jack.
18:49 "You're back already?!" Time travel cuts both ways. If Aku could send Jack into the future at the peak of his power, Jack can travel back to the exact moment Aku is at his weakest.
@@doorkum Not somehow, by aku himself, is obvious he would die against aku, the guardian had no real way of defeating aku since it can only be harm and killed by the sword, the guardian was going to lose in the end with no real way of harming aku.
Literally sat here mesmerised with how fast and how aggressive the combat was,love the pace made you feel as if you were him fighting,I also loved how they changed his auestetic like the beard and he adapted to his environment,quality stuff
12:39 the Ultra Bots fight was so amazing. The fact we see Jack duel a group of Aku powered robots with different skills and weapons, using them against one another, and the cut the final one in a single slash: it's perfect.
I remember few more great fights. 1. Against these Anubis warriors in "Egypt" 2. When he was abducted to great arena and had problem with getting his katana back 3. Fight against army of robo-bugs in one of first episodes 4. This previous favourite of Aku that used souls (i think?) of defeated warriors 5. Scot (maybe i remember wrong and appreciate the character himself) Edit:6. The best hunters in galaxy that were chasing him half the city, actually nice guys;D Nice film anyway +
12:55 - That still Frame of a bloodshed Samurai-Jack using the Gatling Guns from the Ultra-Bots has to be the more rawest and hardest Frame I have ever seen from Cartoon Network History. And the Creator behind this Cartoon worked first with 2 Stupid Dogs, BTW. GOAT
Ultra robots was probably number two for me, but Jack vs the undead in the cemetery is still my all time number one. It's pretty much the whole episode though, I'm convinced that's the only reason it's not on here lol
Dear God, this was the best Show Cartoon Network ever have creat in their TV-history. 🖤🖤🖤 And the most more original. Since then, CN have never been orginal about animation creativity.
Samurai Jack is the badass cartoon of my entire childhood. I enjoyed the action, even my family members, but right now as an adult I understand deeply his story. Thank you Gendy Tartakovsky for the best childhood memories ❤❤
14:22 i know right? for a minor setback villain that had a handful of other clones of itself, that clone the one-time super-duper spirit bomb special attack
The best thing about fights in Samurai Jack is how they all have something unique to make them stand out. It's not just replacing the villains, but a certain extra spice added, such as the animation style, what Jack has to do to overcome an opponent, the reason for the fight, etc.
I remember when this was on late at night as a kid staying up till 3AM such an underrated program and is never been given its flowers,the fighting and combat was ahead of its time 💪🔥
One thing I always love about the fight with the Spartan King, was that we know from previous episodes, that the Spartan King is shown be a true, pure of heart, good person. Because the sword cannot be used by someone who is not a pure, good of heart warrior.
I like how The Guardian was pretty much giving Jack a run for his money. The one thing I know about Jack is how he's patient and waits for openings, even in the way he fights. The Guardian didn't allow him to do any of that because of how aggressive and relentless his attacks are.
1 - What, no shocked moment because of Jack being a bit weirded out on Aku's well built human form? 2 - Times have changed indeed at this point. Pity they just happened so fast. 3 - I was expecting to see that kingly Samurai Jack future that eventually got fleshed out in the IDW comics separate from the Season 5+Battle Through Time continuity. 4 - I swear, this episode makes me wonder if those rumors about the show getting budget cuts in Seasons 3 and 4 (not that those hurt the show at all, if true) really are legit or just plain wacko. 5 - Gotta love that "grenade throwback" at 9:58. 6 - Such an effectively sympathetic villain spotlight and mook horror show. Reminds me a lot of certain Batman and Superman tales that don't even have the superheroes as the main characters. 7 - Who cares if this may be a literal deus ex machina, the sheer awesomeness of it eclipses that flaw, not unlike Gandalf's resurrection in The Lord of the Rings. 8 - Just so we're clear, this ep was released way before Zack Snyder's 300 was a thing... wonder if Frank Miller watched this episode and loved it? 9 - I may be wrong in remembering, but I suspect this was the very first Samurai Jack episode I fuly watched years ago. Suffice to say, it was a glorious entrance to this glorious show, even without seeing "The Beginning" yet. 10 - To quote Rhinox from Beast Wars: Transformers: *"For everything that ever was..."*
the great thing about this show is you can name 10 fights that you loved from this show as the greatest in the show and no one will dispute you because a lot of the fights were that consistently good. My top ten in no order excluding the ones mentioned: 1.The Chicken Fight episode 2. When he gets captured and fights in a tournament against all these different monsters aliens and robots 3. The Essence Guy episode 4. When he meets and befriends the Scotsman 5. Jump good episode fight scene for the monkeys 6. The episode where he teams up with the monks to try to get to the past 7. Fighting himself the inner demon episode 8. When his dad fought and beat aku 9. The episode where Jack and aku fight in a graveyard and aku tries to kill jack with his own sword 10. The kid Jack episode in Africa where he learns how to use their weapons to save himself.
I didn't know about this masterpiece until recently. I saw fragments in different videos and thought, "What the heck us this? A typical action cartoon for kids and a sub-anime at the same time?" However, after watching some positive video-reviews, where people say that "Samurai Jack" is what animation has always meant to be and Genndy Tartakovsky is the Hideo Kojima of animation, I gave it a chance. And I really enjoyed it. No, IT TURNED OUT TO BE ONE OF THE BEST THINGS I HAVE EVER SEEN AND NOW I CANNOT WATCH MOST OTHER ANIMATION PROJECTS NORMALLY!!! Perhaps it's because I was tired of dull Undertale fan animations, including Underverse and Glitchtale, which I only found beautiful, and "Samurai Jack" was something completely new. I don't consider it the best cartoon ever made not do I worship Genndy, but the series found a place in my heart. In my country, Russia, "Samurai Jack" isn't really popular yet those who has seen it treat it very positively. In my opinion, the Aku of Andrey Yaroslavtsev, who was the Russian voice of Optimus Prime, and the Jack of Nikita Prohorovsky, who is the legend of our childhood, are not less amazing than the Aku of Mako and Jack of Phil LaMarr. Now I'm trying to make a comic parody with things from all my favorite video games and cartoons, though I'm really bad at drawing. Thank you for reading this dumb comment and sorry for English! P.S. Why didn't you mention the battle from the third episode? Of course, it's long, but isn't it the best cartoon battle ever?
The Shinobi fight with him as the light vs the dark was so good I still would think about it from time to time years later one of the best cartoon fights in history 💯
Adult Swim basically made the humor that I still enjoy today as a kid, thanks for all the good times yall Btw if yall made a Metal Gear Rising style game with samurai jack, that would be mint thx 👍
The daughters of Aku was such a good fight. It was a good showing of how skilled Jack is when he's serious Edit: The bounty hunters is still funny like did you guys even have a plan 😂😂
I just wanted to leave a like on this video and move on with my day sense i've already seen all these fights before, but I ended up watching the whole thing... cause it's just to awesome!!!! 😅😂
The shinobi fight was always the most interesting fight IMO.
Mostly due to the artwork.
The way it balances out light and dark
I got to watch the old series on tv, the light vs dark was amazing. Course really any of Jacks fights are epic and Aku is just the perfect evil guy.
Was really disappointed on how they ended the original, and incredibly happy when I got to watch it complete.

FACTS!!!
Jack is OUTRAGIOUS he changes styles, makes use of any weapon he get's ahold of Seamlessly, Adapts on the Fly, can Switch from Defense to offence while Reading not only the opponent but the surroundings like no other in fiction.
He DID spent his youth traveling the world and learning the fighting styles (and other things) of many people.
It was all his father’s plan to enable the sword to reach capable hands.
Someone who knew the fighting style of every part of the world.
Yeah
you just described like 99% of shonen MCs, what he did isn't new

12:31 Did he say "adamantium"?
The shinobi was definitely Top tier for Me
7:54 Man I love those moments when you can really tell the creators really wanted to make this show at LEAST PG-13 😂
thank you for uploading this, the last part is very helpful, knowing the beginning and the end.
10:45, this lady knows that Aku drained an ocean planet of all its water, right?
Might just be the most goated series of all time. They really nailed it with the last season too.
One thing I always love about the fight with the Spartan King, was that we know from previous episodes, that the Spartan King is shown be a true, pure of heart, good person. Because the sword cannot be used by someone who is not a pure, good of heart warrior.
4:50 this villan could be the last boss on the multiversus rifts season 2. 😮
I like how The Guardian was pretty much giving Jack a run for his money. The one thing I know about Jack is how he's patient and waits for openings, even in the way he fights. The Guardian didn't allow him to do any of that because of how aggressive and relentless his attacks are.
1 - What, no shocked moment because of Jack being a bit weirded out on Aku's well built human form?
2 - Times have changed indeed at this point. Pity they just happened so fast.
3 - I was expecting to see that kingly Samurai Jack future that eventually got fleshed out in the IDW comics separate from the Season 5+Battle Through Time continuity.
4 - I swear, this episode makes me wonder if those rumors about the show getting budget cuts in Seasons 3 and 4 (not that those hurt the show at all, if true) really are legit or just plain wacko.
5 - Gotta love that "grenade throwback" at 9:58.
6 - Such an effectively sympathetic villain spotlight and mook horror show. Reminds me a lot of certain Batman and Superman tales that don't even have the superheroes as the main characters.
7 - Who cares if this may be a literal deus ex machina, the sheer awesomeness of it eclipses that flaw, not unlike Gandalf's resurrection in The Lord of the Rings.
8 - Just so we're clear, this ep was released way before Zack Snyder's 300 was a thing... wonder if Frank Miller watched this episode and loved it?
9 - I may be wrong in remembering, but I suspect this was the very first Samurai Jack episode I fuly watched years ago. Suffice to say, it was a glorious entrance to this glorious show, even without seeing "The Beginning" yet.
10 - To quote Rhinox from Beast Wars: Transformers: *"For everything that ever was..."*
5:41 that moment when the thief bot takes your level 3 laser in Descent II.
the great thing about this show is you can name 10 fights that you loved from this show as the greatest in the show and no one will dispute you because a lot of the fights were that consistently good.
My top ten in no order excluding the ones mentioned:
1.The Chicken Fight episode
2. When he gets captured and fights in a tournament against all these different monsters aliens and robots
3. The Essence Guy episode
4. When he meets and befriends the Scotsman
5. Jump good episode fight scene for the monkeys
6. The episode where he teams up with the monks to try to get to the past
7. Fighting himself the inner demon episode
8. When his dad fought and beat aku
9. The episode where Jack and aku fight in a graveyard and aku tries to kill jack with his own sword
10. The kid Jack episode in Africa where he learns how to use their weapons to save himself.
Totally true. I remember the chicken fight was brutal and really well thought out too.
When the doc of Power Puff Girls became a samurai.. best series ever Jack 🖤
Guardian was basically blue Hulk with weapons and actual combat skill 😳
Hell yea lol don’t rip that suit !
I didn't know about this masterpiece until recently. I saw fragments in different videos and thought, "What the heck us this? A typical action cartoon for kids and a sub-anime at the same time?" However, after watching some positive video-reviews, where people say that "Samurai Jack" is what animation has always meant to be and Genndy Tartakovsky is the Hideo Kojima of animation, I gave it a chance.
And I really enjoyed it. No, IT TURNED OUT TO BE ONE OF THE BEST THINGS I HAVE EVER SEEN AND NOW I CANNOT WATCH MOST OTHER ANIMATION PROJECTS NORMALLY!!!
Perhaps it's because I was tired of dull Undertale fan animations, including Underverse and Glitchtale, which I only found beautiful, and "Samurai Jack" was something completely new. I don't consider it the best cartoon ever made not do I worship Genndy, but the series found a place in my heart.
In my country, Russia, "Samurai Jack" isn't really popular yet those who has seen it treat it very positively. In my opinion, the Aku of Andrey Yaroslavtsev, who was the Russian voice of Optimus Prime, and the Jack of Nikita Prohorovsky, who is the legend of our childhood, are not less amazing than the Aku of Mako and Jack of Phil LaMarr.
Now I'm trying to make a comic parody with things from all my favorite video games and cartoons, though I'm really bad at drawing.
Thank you for reading this dumb comment and sorry for English!
P.S. Why didn't you mention the battle from the third episode? Of course, it's long, but isn't it the best cartoon battle ever?
Samurai Jack definitely killed people. I gotta say though, the fight between him and the Shinobi was one of the best 👌
Honorable mention: the Scotsman.
That bridge fight deserves to be here as well. Simply epic.
“The decisions you make… & the actions that follow.. are a reflection of-“
“SHUT UP!”
“… of who you really are.”
LMAO
Aku being surprised at the 3 conditions jack asked was outrageous
To this day, I still laugh at the idea of Aku facing Jack as Ikra in that first fight.
"What? You said to come in human form..."
Could you imagine if Jack was using the bionic arm, that dexter made for his dad to a arm wrestle that trucker?!!!
The Shinobi fight with him as the light vs the dark was so good I still would think about it from time to time years later one of the best cartoon fights in history 💯
Adult Swim basically made the humor that I still enjoy today as a kid, thanks for all the good times yall
Btw if yall made a Metal Gear Rising style game with samurai jack, that would be mint thx 👍
Battle through time buddy
Hell yeah
"Can't use it yet, Samurai Jack" The Guardian, who beat the Samurai, knew that he wasn't ready yet to fulfill his destiny.
The backflip kick with the slice tell me we don’t need a samurai Jack movie
The daughters of Aku was such a good fight. It was a good showing of how skilled Jack is when he's serious
Edit: The bounty hunters is still funny like did you guys even have a plan 😂😂
I always wanted to see The Imakandis go against:
- The guardian
- Minions of seth
- Ultrabots
- Archers
It's crazy how aku and iroh are voiced by the same person. They are completely diffrent characters but both fit so well into their parts. Rip mako
I just wanted to leave a like on this video and move on with my day sense i've already seen all these fights before, but I ended up watching the whole thing... cause it's just to awesome!!!! 😅😂
