Goddamn he took then all out.
You just lost your sense of time. It's understandable.

Those assassins didn't choose though. That was circumstance for them.
Ok so I think the one he unmasked is still gonna be alive and they're gonna become allies and whatnot.
Jack doesn't know that.
YAY GREY MORALITY

Jesus fuck these episodes are so good. The scene in the woods with the snow was part classic samurai film plus Looney Toons episode, with those huge swaths of white/blank page. Loved how twisted Jack's psyche looked in the cave and the black and red of Jack and the wolf and the flashbacks and Jack going Beast Mode. Just everything.
This season is going to be amazing to watch in one shot when it's done.

She's the only one with a name so they are definitely gonna do something with her.

Yeah. They were never shown affection, so didn't understand it when they saw it with the deer. Incredibly tragic. I'm glad some of the antagonists have been grey like this.
I think the unmasked one and the one with the spear survived the fall, and the unmasked one will end up joining Jack after having her allegiances tested by killing the one with the spear. They were the only ones who weren't injured in the fight.

Yup. Both of them will be in the wild for a while though while Jack goes and tries to recover his sword.
Fucking brutal this episode. The deaths were insanely quick.
I love it, namely because I'm sure most of us thought they'd last longer than 3 episodes lmao
Ya just don't fuck with Jack.
All this emphasis on choice definitely has me thinking this'll be addressed. Both the ones dropped before Ashii seemed pretty beaten whereas Ashii was just dropped for talking shit. I think she might be the only survivor.

I have zero doubt she's going to play a significant part in whatever happens in the rest of the season. They've been building her up for it.

Yep, I was like how he'd get so beast after last episode he was struggling? And then when he threw the weapon away I was like "The Fuck are You Doing?" But he got their asses.
That flashback with his dad was basically "Son, you're gonna have to stab someone at some point in your life. Ya gotta be cool with that."
He was trying pretty hard to get them to turn around, but because they know nothing but killing Jack, that was really never going to be an option for them.
Their brainwashing is eventually going to fall apart when they start to realize that they were lied to about Aku wanting to preserve a beautiful world.
I thought that was Grey DeLisle

Before I forget, how the fuck they don't know what a deer is?
Born just to kill Jack, never even stepped outside of their training grounds I guess.
Think the point was to show Jack needed to go back to the basics to defeat these people. rather than rely on armor and tech.
They were raised trapped in a place and doing training. I don't think they ever went outside before they finished the training.
Daughters of Aku got annihilated. Makes sense that their training ain't shit compared learning from Shaolin Monks, Vikings, Africans, Greeks, Egyptiaions, etc. Not to mention 50 years of life or death battles with robots, aliens, and demons. Can't fuck with Jack. Hopefully Jack is more sympathetic when he hears of their upbringing though.

Toonami still doing game reviews I see. They just did a quick one of the first Metal Gear Solid.
They spent the entirety of their lives in a network of caves, with the only exposure to the outside world being that crack in the wall. They were only taught to track and kill. Anything else would only serve as a distraction.
I think that is part of their campaign on being 20 years old. Doing throwback videos from their past like that 1999 one.
I don't know how often they review but they did it for Horizon recently

Love this. Basically everything from here on out is new material that we haven't seen in any trailers or prerelease stuff.

That foreshadowing though with the male and female deer.... one of the surviving daughters is going to fall in love with jack and vice versa 🤔🤔

To the point I wonder if this season ends with him going to the past like they keep telling us.....or maybe him finally finding some happiness/meaning in the future
Yup. I checked. Only things we're missing are
a monster fight and the Scotsman.
I like how they built up the Daughters and/or Armored Jack to be such a big thing in every trailer, seeing how they're already gone 3/10 into the season.
