Oh poo

 

[Tinfoilhatsron]

Called it. Switched to 70/30 now. She's going to backstab Aku somehow. And Jack will kill Aku.

 

[Ogodei]

And they don't show a goddamn thing in the preview. Man!

 

[IronRinn]

That was a blue balls of an ending. Fuck.

That fight was awesome.

 

[LotusHD]

So that happened...

 

[Babymario26]

10/10 for me.

 

[Reversed]

What just happened?

 

[TheFlow]

did we really get all these episodes with Jack falling in love just for that climax :/.

I don't know how they are going to make a great conclusion with just 22 mins left.

 

[Tinfoilhatsron]

this is some jrpg shit right here

Well SJ was never a deep story, but a well told, entertaining one. I'm happy with it.

 

[MrSaturn99]

that was

amazing

 

[HStallion]

The design of Ashiku was awesome.

 

[whipihguh]

Now that was a great episode, fantastic setup for the finale.

So I guess Jack is never going back to the past? Unless some magic handwaving can bring back the Guardian and the Portal...

 

[everyday math]

I need that art at the end.

What a ride this shows been. Take us out with a bang Samurai.

 

[Blues1990]

As if things couldn't become more dire....

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Aku's casual evil is the best part about him.

 

[Sub_Level]

this is some jrpg shit right here

I know its awesome.

 

[RagnarokX]

Probably if Ashi just holds the sword it will drive the Aku out of her body. Like how touching the Master Sword purified Link's body in TP after Zant infected him.

If Ashi's sisters were also Aku's daughters and the only thing that can kill Aku is the sword, shouldn't they still be alive?

 

[Zubz]

The design of Ashiku was awesome.

I love how mantis like she was at times. Still don't know how they can finish this all in 22 minutes, though. Especially with the several teases of an army supporting Jack in finishing off Aku.

 

[friskykillface]

SHOOK happened

Welp, we are at the end of the ride

It looked like Aku had to actually activate the evil power within her for it to do anything.

Can't help but be disappointed with that romance too. The romance could have been better written and paced. The Guardian stuff not panning out also sucks. Need time to digest it.

 

[Xe4]

Holy shit this episode. The second half was so soo good.

Probably my third favorite of the season. Waaaaaayyy better than 8.

 

[RRockman]

DUUUUUUUUUUUUDE


So glad he didn't take the shot. We still have a chance at the happy ending. Did the guardian die of old age?

They didn't go full on Aku mode though.

 

[Schucky Ducky]

Wow what a cliffhanger. Can't wait for next week. Still not sure how it's going to wrap up in 22 minutes. I really want him to get back to the past, but it's looking less and less likely :/

 

[Sibersk Esto]

DUUUUUUUUUUUUDE

Considering the state of the pillar and his glasses, I assume Aku got to him.

 

[RRockman]

Ah you're right! I forgot about the pillar. Gennedy is such a troll.

 

[Maxinas]

How predictable. What are the chances, Aku tries to make Ashi finish Jack off, Ashi overpowers Aku with shonen-tier willpower and kills Aku herself. Yay happy ending.

Spoiler

Why did the season have to be so short :'(

 

[Glitchesarecool]

what a rollercoaster of emotions these last few episodes have been

 

[Schucky Ducky]

Ah you're right! I forgot about the pillar. Gennedy is such a troll.

My heart sank when I saw those glasses. I hope that he is still out there and just moved the portal somewhere else. But that seems farfetched.

yea pacing is the true final boss.

 

[Schucky Ducky]

Also, do you all think the Scottsman is going to appear in the finale? I hope we get some sort of pay off from the episode 5 opening scene.

 

[buddha0991]

I am betting the Scotsman, his daughters, The Woolies, The Archers, the Rave Children, Da Samoorai, Demongo (Ok maybe not this one) and somehow The Guardian all show up in the last ep in some form.


...


...Please?

They have to or that scene was for nothing.

My best case scenario they all come to aid Jack after he rescues Ashi somehow, at that point Aku no longer has any more cards up his sleeve, and decides to create an army like he has done before to overwhelm Jack (I'd assume Ashi is either dead or unconscious)

Enter the Scottsman.

 

[Greenzxy]

Never thought this post would be relevant

so good

yep. Scottsman is probably gathering an army

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

That was pretty great. I missed the last couple episodes so I need to catch up on that. I can't believe it, only one episode left.

 

[Saven]

We got a lot of shit to resolve in 22 minutes next week.

 

[buddha0991]

Poor Scaramouche is the only reason that Aku was able to turn the tables and jack the sword RIP

Sooooooooooo good.

 

[Redd]

Please don't die Ashi. She had so much character development this season.

 

[Seda]

Some of the plot beats are a little predictable, but considering Samurai Jack was never a narrative-driven show until this season, I think it's working well enough to give the series an ending.

 

[Mr. Smiley]

That's some classic opening level art there.
