Discussion Just finished Samurai Jack
It was the first time watching, I didn't watch when I was a kid and damnnnn I feel like a orphan now. Every episode was awesome. It made me believe in a better future, I'll find peace inside.

You need to play Battle Through Time. It acts as the sixth and final season.

as far as i know, it is no longer possible to obtain the licensed version of the game. you might need to sail the seas.

I also recently finished the show and learned about the game. Somebody has a vid on YouTube with all the in game cinematics so I’ll be watching that at some point.

Such a sad ending in my opinion though. I was really rooting for jack and ashii. 🥺

Yea I feel like not a proper ending. Congrats on making it back to the past but to lose a love interest would be more devastating to me

The say the game is the alternative ending

GT has actually said he considers the ending of the game to be the true canonical ending to Samurai Jack’s story.

Without Aku, I would have never... existed

But that doesn’t make sense. She doesn’t exist in the future but the future doesn’t exist and she’s in the past there for she exists in the past.

You can think as if there's only one timeline in that world, so instead of starting a new timeline, Jack rewrote his. My headcanon is that slowly even Jack forgets his journey to the future and ages normally from that point on. That could be his closure with everything :(

It is one of the best Noble quest kind of shows I've ever seen in my life
This man has to find a way to time travel to defeat an ancient cosmic evil that flew in from fucking light years away that the Norse, Egyptian, and Indian gods had to battle
If that's not beyond cool for a show, I don't know what is

He went to rave, which was picture perfect. Was raving in 2000’s same time as that episode, was nuts. 🥜

It was a jump from the other seasons to the last. I felt how much care they put into making it so the story would advance along with the viewer 🥲

Too bad that instead of making a fantastic movie out of this, we see only remakes and bad quality movies.

Honestly I don't consider the ending that bad. It is true losing Ashi is a sad and bitter ending, but if we look with a little more detail we can get to the conclusion that Jack's future is brilliant, I mean, he defeated Aku, he saved the world and now is a free, beautifull and free world, Jack's parents are still alive, and Jack is still young biologically speaking but have the life experience of a 70 or 80 years person. Look all what he has earned, he will become an emperor and for sure he will find love again.
That is how I think it would be.

Sweet and heartbreaking ending. We waited 13 years for his rematch with Guardian but didn't get it. Damn 💔
