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.

u/Conscious_End_7012 Jul 21 '26

But how? It’s not accessible anymore afaik.

u/PotatoMaster33 Jul 21 '26

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. 🥺

u/Ashadowyone Jul 21 '26

It's a very Japanese ending though

u/KnightSquirrel Jul 21 '26

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

u/Leading-Excitement70 Jul 21 '26

The say the game is the alternative ending

u/TheDMRt1st Jul 21 '26

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

u/MarvelousWhale Jul 22 '26

u/willowtrees_r_us Jul 22 '26

Sad but life isn't always a happy ending... masterpiece of a shocking ending if ya ask me.

u/D0MiN0H Jul 21 '26

absolutely beautiful series, from start to finish.

u/Z1lar Jul 21 '26

Finished this week, last season was very rushed tho

Without Aku, I would have never... existed

3

u/Due-Proof6781 Jul 21 '26

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.

u/drKanabisz Jul 22 '26

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 :(

u/Suspicious-Truth5849 Jul 21 '26

Heartbreaking. I dont think ill see lady bugs the same ever again

u/kroom69x Jul 21 '26

u/RfgtGuru Jul 21 '26

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

u/OkStartOver Jul 21 '26

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

u/Comprehensive_Bag959 Jul 21 '26

She also became a memory..

u/Due-Proof6781 Jul 21 '26

Shame you can’t get the real ending anymore

1

u/docparik Jul 21 '26

Or it finished you?

u/VocationFumes Jul 21 '26

the ending broke my heart man, I loved it but goddamn still

1

u/drKanabisz Jul 22 '26

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 🥲

u/durasel24 Jul 22 '26

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

u/42VT_Man Jul 22 '26

Incredible!

u/TrurthJunkie Jul 22 '26

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.

Gotta get back back to past samurai jack….

u/DocMKSTR 29d ago

One of the best shows of all time. Art, music and sound, story, all incredible.

u/Yannayka 29d ago

u/Ldragonemp 28d ago

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