@@redrudy07 Yeah, the man was trained in every form of martial art since he was, what five? Plus all the combat experience he accumulated in the future, fighting literal armies.

@@rahul.murali nah I think he might have the right idea, in terms of general appearance, Keanu would probably make a fantastic Jack if he dyed his hair, the main selling point would be if he could SOUND like him.
@cartoonistlouis773 I’m not gonna lie, ever since I saw Jack in full armor with a fucking pistol on him, rolling up on a motorcycle with a mini gun, I have been trying to slowly but surely fit out my D&D Samurai character with a gun and a motorcycle
I like how Aku always fails to realize, that the more trials he sends Jack through, the stronger he becomes, and that it's only a matter if time untill Jack catches up to him.
I think that Aku is aware and it's shown that he gets angry at the failed atempts. It's just easy to let yourself forget about the doom that is slowly crawling to you when you're a God - perhaps at some point enough pondering will spawn the optimal aproach to obliterate the enemy, he may think to himself.
I loved that version of Jack a lot, the original series kind of showed him fumbling through the new world since everything was so foreign to him - the followup actually showed us why he's actually to be feared by everyone, including Aku - not because of his holy sword, but because of his skill and determination.
To be fair, the first four seasons take place over maybe a couple years? During which time he has his trusty sword on hand which is the only thing that can kill Aku ANYWAY, so there's no need to really train himself in the use of much modern weaponry. Then there's a time skip of I think 50 years between 4 and 5, so he's had a lot of time to familiarize himself with modern tech. Hell, he's probably MORE adept at modern weaponry now (assuming he spent the entire time training) since there's no way he was 50 years old when he originally confronted Aku.
@@weezact7 He's a quick learner anyhow, we see that in his flashbacks, when he trains to use different cultures' weapons. Plus in the 50 years that passed, while he stopped hunting Aku because he felt it was hopeless, Aku's minions didn't stop hunting him, and he did keep helping people, presumably, whenever he could. I just prefer him using everything he can find to his advantage like this. Yes Aku would only be defeatable by the sword - every other enemy could be defeated in any number of ways.
To put Aku's feelings into perspective: imagine if you have a big cockroach living in your kitchen, except it's also immortal and grows like 50% in size each time you try to kill it
"so how are we gonna get away with showing some of the most violent shit this side of a Tarantino movie?" "we'll make them robots with wires for guts" BRILLIANT
The Daughters ambushed Jack while he was having a mental breakdown due to his guilt over failing to return to the past. Once Jack confronted his inner demons and was able to focus he destroyed them effortlessly.
@@captin-crane3324 Then all those robots he killed didn't count then? All those bounty hunters? They might have been robots but they were independently thinking beings made of metal instead of flesh. What about those warriors that Demongo trapped? Jack most certainly killed them. They just didn't stay dead and just returned to Demongo. Samurai Jack had lots of violence and death on screen. They were able to get away with it because they used bloodless violence by having robots.
@@schoolruler2 which i sorta forgot since he always use his sword 90% of the time along with his wits. only time i remember he use the spiked geta sandle outside of his sword to fight.
I actually liked the ending, it was bittersweet, made sense, and served as closure for Jack. No more ties to that part of his life from that point on. He won't forget, but he can move on.
@@HexManiac-nf1yg That's going into paradox theory, and paradox theory makes time travel impossible. For example, him going back in time to kill Aku means that Aku's future doesn't exist, and thus Jack had nothing to fight when he was first transported into the future, and nowhere to come back from. I'd suggest not going into time paradox stuff when it comes to fantasy / scifi, it breaks the premise 9/10 times. The only non-paradox time travel I've seen depicted is the one in Harry Potter, where he goes back in time to throw a stone at himself. There isn't any change in the timeline because Harry was always hit by a mysterious stone at that point. With Jack, if time travel in that universe didn't allow paradoxes, Aku would have won by default - Samurai Jack gets sent forward in time, but then gets back to his time and defeats Aku, meaning the future he was sent to doesn't exist, which means Aku actually obliterated Jack, so there's no one to come back and kill him. On to the actual story bits, it made sense if you think about it from a pure story perspective - she was the product of a future that never came to pass. Jack was a product of his own time - we even see his childhood play out, he has strong ties to that old world, and the only thing that he found in the future that he didn't already have, is love - which he then promptly lost. For all we know, he also lost most if not all memories of the future he went to, and the only reason he smiles at the end is because while his memories are gone, his feelings are not. That's just my interpretation though. And a bit of a long one.
@@FractalNinja Wait a minute...a super campy villain whose main gimmick is hyper regeneration that can only be negated by a very specific McGuffin katana. Oh my god, Aku is just demon Armstrong and Jack is a non-cyborg Raiden.
The moment, which isnt shown here, where jack realized he is killing humans of flesh abd blood for the first time instead of robots and how that haunt him is so powerful.
So, I kinda assumed this would be a stretch, cause doom is a high bar to meet. But yeah, no, this is completely legit, fits perfectly. Has that proper doom slayer energy, killing and fighting naturally, as if it no longer requires active thought.
I will never be able to wrap my head around how epic this cartoon is. After countless doom and gloom serious AAA dystopian movies this simple work of animation is able to capture the real essence of what it means to be caught in an endless fight for justice and all that is good.
"When this man's eyes narrow, it means you are about to get your ass handed to you on a plate, with a little plum blossom garnish and some humili-tea."
I honestly think he was not only a warrior but an amazing tactician and sprinkle some survival training and you know Aku will mess up eventually, but he also was great at adapting to the future in 50 years, minus the slight insanity.
The moment Jack understood that this is not a trivial battle in which he can limit himself to just knocking them out, the moment he understood it's kill or be killed, their whole squad fell apart
Although I'm sad that the show ended, I'm glad our boy got the happy ending he deserved after years of torment and struggle. There never will be another show just like it again.
@@Yoxen_gambling Jack's world has magic and intact time portals. He can pick up his fiance, step through the portal again and see if that breaks the continuity backlash. Or if the only way forward is backward, take Ashi to S1 and become a mechanic slash sandal maker that has a brief meeting with his younger self. That mechanic had a wife- and kids. Then it's a matter of Jack's whole lineage going through the portal every so many generations to prevent existential crisis. Time travel is awful, I'd rather not.
um i still have my imagination, i can think up a thousand stories that parallel this, its actually one of humanities only qualities we share, our stories.
For me, a guy who's only seen the less... Murderous side of Jack. This comes off as a shock like, THE HELL DID I MISS!?!? When did he go from being a nice humble man who lives in traditions to, "I will kill you and then kill you again with these murder tools I made." God, I need to watch this series again. And the Adult swim one too,
Somewhat Spoiler-ish if you haven't seen the last season (from Adult Swim). Several years have passed from the end of Season 4 and the start of Season 5 (I don't recall the exact but it was like 20-50 years) though it was revealed that Aku's magic to send Jack through time in the first place prevented him from aging which is why he doesn't look older (outside of longer hair/beard). In that time, Jack had lost his magic sword in a previous battle with Aku and when we see him at the start of Season 5, it shows how Jack has had to become much more proficient with other weapons outside of his sword, including having to use guns and a motorcycle in order to keep up with the increasingly more complex robots Aku had been sending after him. Even more spoilers ahead so be warned: Jack was still under the notion of not wanting to take a human life. Robots and monsters, he had no issue with. But he would never take a human life. That was until he faced the Daughters of Aku, humans that were born from Aku through some sort of ritual. During their fight, Jack assumed they were just more robots or monsters sent by Aku until he slit the throat of one of them and was horrified to see he had killed a human after their mask crumbled away. Heavily wounded himself in the process, Jack fled while gripping with the reality he had finally taken a human life. There was more darker tones in the final season, even where Jack was talking/arguing with his "inner self" and contemplating killing himself to end his suffering of never aging from Aku's magic. Eventually he realized that as much as he was appalled by taking a human life, it was going to have to be a necessary action if he was ever going to finally defeat Aku which lead him to being able to force himself to kill off all but one of the remaining Daughters of Aku.
Samurai Jack was one of those shows that legitimately never got worse as time went on and, in fact, got better and better. We definitely got spoiled in the 00s. Just glad we have the internet so kids now can experience it as well
The last season was the most adult version. It included child demonification, depression and suicide. Basically Jack is in a soulsborne world where there are no happy endings.
Man's literally John Wick with longer beard and hair. Has mastery of all weapons, keeps fighting and adapting to the situation, gives badass stares. Even his name is basically the same
It always struck me as odd how they portrayed this moment to be the first time samurai Jack killed someone, when I can't be the only one to remember that he literally blasted a mercenary to pieces in season 4
Good rule of thumb, if you rush someone with dual giant knives and they decide to close their eyes, they've either accepted death or decided they've accepted yours.
Never watched Samurai Jack... just never caught my attention as a kid. So all of this is entirely devoid of context or nostalgia for me, but holy fuck... this is absolutely brutal.
Must be said that season 5 is not as kidfriendly in terms of violance as the rest of the show. Btw, you can most likely watch it right here on youtube if you like.
I loved how you were able to weave the story together along with the music. Loved the use of the sea of people for the quieter part of the song. Made for a really good character-focused scene. 👌
I’m gonna guess they were going for it being behind the beetle horn like the rest of Jack. First illustrations had beardless so they could differentiate and add it in with a flowing effect to stand out. But it’s such a quick scene that it was overlooked and passed off.
Naaa seeing Jack in full samurai armor with a motorcycle, a machine gun & a spear made me know this was Gon be just as fire as the OG Samurai Jack 💯🔥 Also Jack should’ve kept the Samurai armor
Honestly didn't even need the full suit, just like bits, namely the arms, going full from pauldron to gauntlet on both sides, along with maybe the pistol plus holster, little added bits to show while he is Samurai Jack, he has also grown from what he experienced. Still a good series tho, your main point stands
Damn, now imagine if Samurai Jack was having that magic sword after 50 years of suffering from mental breakdown and fighting every type of enemy, a mind could imagine. Unstoppable man who STILL has principles and standards of a Samurai. Now that's a God's Will power I can say.
Aunque el trayecto que Jack recorrió fue largo, todo al final valió la pena. Pues 50 años después, a pesar de la visiones, arrepentimientos e incluso perder la espada, se supo recuperar de todo eso, más por la ayuda que le brindaron todos sus anteriores aliados, en especial Ashi, y al final pudo darle al maldito Aku su merecido final.
The one thing that kinda doesn't make much sense is the first time Jack fought the Daughters of Aku in the tombs, he was doing everything he could to counter their attacks, just barely able to defend himself. But after he killed the first one and took some time to heal from his wounds and process the fact he took his first ever human life, when they fought next time, he was having no issues taking them out left and right. When he was first fighting them, he assumed they were some advanced machines or robots, which is why he was soo shocked and distraught after he killed the first one and realized they were human. In their next battle, he was still going after them with the same ferocity as their first fight, all be it, more of a stand and fight over running this time. But still...it's like between their first fight and their second fight, the Daughters got more sloppy and stupid with their attacks making it so Jack could easily take the majority of them out when he was doing all he could during their first fight just to avoid their attacks.
I think it can be chalked up to this. They got cocky. They, quote unquote, “won” the first fight against jack, having fixed him to run at only the cost of one of theirs. This is what they trained for their whole lives and this was proof that they were meant to win. And that led to them making their mistakes that led to (most of) their deaths
Well, the final season was on Adult Swim so I wouldn't really call it much of a "kids show" at that point and it really let lose on the violence and darker themes without the "it's a kids show" restriction holding it back.

1:53 he suddenly lost his beard lol
I’m gonna guess they were going for it being behind the beetle horn like the rest of Jack. First illustrations had beardless so they could differentiate and add it in with a flowing effect to stand out. But it’s such a quick scene that it was overlooked and passed off.
4:17 this shot looks so god damn awesome. Just seeing one figure illuminated, before four more show up after the flash of lightning was amazing.
"Yes, he's grown from a man. To a GOD!"
Naaa seeing Jack in full samurai armor with a motorcycle, a machine gun & a spear made me know this was Gon be just as fire as the OG Samurai Jack 💯🔥
Also Jack should’ve kept the Samurai armor
Honestly didn't even need the full suit, just like bits, namely the arms, going full from pauldron to gauntlet on both sides, along with maybe the pistol plus holster, little added bits to show while he is Samurai Jack, he has also grown from what he experienced. Still a good series tho, your main point stands
Aku doesn't realize that all the stuff he's throwing at Jack is just something for him to grind exp
Ngl I loved the entire show, this last season is one of my faves because it felt like the show grew older with us by going this nutty
Jack can definitely be played by Keanu Reeves
This is an edit I never knew I needed
the timing of the scenes with the music is perfect!, love this, excellent work!.
Its crazy how this is more accurate to historical samurai then jacks normal attire
yeah his regular outfit is like every day casual clothes but that armor is proper battlefield attire.
@@jaredflynn3750 which is weird considering how many times he fights
we really gotta be doing more fanart of all the one man army main characters getting together and forming a team
Damn, now imagine if Samurai Jack was having that magic sword after 50 years of suffering from mental breakdown and fighting every type of enemy, a mind could imagine. Unstoppable man who STILL has principles and standards of a Samurai. Now that's a God's Will power I can say.
"ALl of us are armed, Jack . . . you have nothing."
"YOu made a grave error in judgement . . . you have brought me all the weapons I need."
There aren't words to properly describe how fucking awesome that fight in the dark at 4:42 is
One of the best western animation series of all time. Period.
I miss shows like this showing up on cartoon network and boomerang, the stuff we have now just can't compare
God that cartoon is such a fucking banger
Dude I’d love a samurai jack game about the last season of him surviving without the sword. So much open world opportunity
Whoever made this, I don't know what to say. Thank you, man.
You know your in for a good montage when it's got the Doom style music.
really nice edit that was enjoyable, brings back memories
"no, there is no escape"
-Samurai Jack
Love how done he looks ar the end
I would love if Keanu does a samurai Jack movie series
Aunque el trayecto que Jack recorrió fue largo, todo al final valió la pena. Pues 50 años después, a pesar de la visiones, arrepentimientos e incluso perder la espada, se supo recuperar de todo eso, más por la ayuda que le brindaron todos sus anteriores aliados, en especial Ashi, y al final pudo darle al maldito Aku su merecido final.
1:38
Beautiful.
god i wish they didn't get rid of that badass armour, bike, and gear in the first episode. Let him adapt to the times dangit!
The machine at 3:49 was huge. It had huge guts. Jack ripped and tore its guts.
Yknow…Genndy would make a good DOOM cartoon.
Okay but. Now I kinda wanna see that
Keanu Reeves as a samurai on a chainsaw-motorbike with a minigun fighting robot armies. shit, I gotta watch this series
Love me some samurai jack him and the silver hawks were my 2 faves growing up.
Kinda a stretch to say Jack is ‘unbroken’…he came pretty damn close to _being_ broken more than once.
great video, like the music that you added to the cartoon 👍, a thumbs up
I love what they did with Jack even though he's fighting robots it's so brutal
The one thing that kinda doesn't make much sense is the first time Jack fought the Daughters of Aku in the tombs, he was doing everything he could to counter their attacks, just barely able to defend himself. But after he killed the first one and took some time to heal from his wounds and process the fact he took his first ever human life, when they fought next time, he was having no issues taking them out left and right.
When he was first fighting them, he assumed they were some advanced machines or robots, which is why he was soo shocked and distraught after he killed the first one and realized they were human. In their next battle, he was still going after them with the same ferocity as their first fight, all be it, more of a stand and fight over running this time. But still...it's like between their first fight and their second fight, the Daughters got more sloppy and stupid with their attacks making it so Jack could easily take the majority of them out when he was doing all he could during their first fight just to avoid their attacks.
I think it can be chalked up to this. They got cocky. They, quote unquote, “won” the first fight against jack, having fixed him to run at only the cost of one of theirs. This is what they trained for their whole lives and this was proof that they were meant to win. And that led to them making their mistakes that led to (most of) their deaths
Whenever I think of a protagonist without super powers… They have to stack up to Jack
Never seen completely well this serjes, just bits of it, but man, this is so friggin amazing that makes me want to have Keanu Reeves as Jack.
This show was a lot more violent and tragic than I think people realize. As a kids show
Well, the final season was on Adult Swim so I wouldn't really call it much of a "kids show" at that point and it really let lose on the violence and darker themes without the "it's a kids show" restriction holding it back.
say whatever you want, the samurai jack final season was AMAZING!!!
Samurai Wick. Man i forgot how awesome that season was
Switching from black blood to red blood made the dispatching of the daughters of Aku so much more visceral.
Jack comes in like
“Since some of you might’ve forgot just let me tell you who the fuck I am”
Take a man's magic sword, face the glock.
Jack really is the doom slayer of his universe.
This fits surprisingly well lol.
Which is worse?
The villain that destroys indiscriminately?
OR
The Hero who shows unbridled violence and courage against his enemies?
The cleanest armor I’ve seen jack in
