They really picked the scenes for the NEP carefully to not spoil this. I honestly thought it wasn't going to happen, that Jack and Ashi would go their separate ways and she wouldn't return until later. Instead it seems Jack has a traveling companion.

The method in which she was converted was also satisfactory.

And it looks like the Scotsman's back next week!

 

[TWrecks310]

So how many more episodes is it gonna take for them to fuck

 

[JSevere]

yesss I'm here for the Ashi redemption arc. buddy adventure with her and Jack is gonna be fun

Aku and Scotsman next week is gonna be great

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

That episode was fucking great and I'm glad the series kept its sense of humor even with the heavier subject materials/tone.

Oh yeah with Jack picking the needles off himself and Ashi while she had the stank face the whole time.

 

[Xe4]

Hopefully never.

Speculation, spoilering it because I dunno whatever:

Spoiler

It looks like maybe he's leading an attack against the citadel, some kinda last-ditch effort.

 

[Pieman0920]

Oh man, that next episode preview.

If it wasn't for April Fools we would have already gotten it.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Depressing prediction time:

Spoiler

No Jack and Ashi next week, just Aku vs Scotsman's army.

Scotsman will die, and he and Jack aren't interacting this season.

 

[TWrecks310]

Hopefully never.

But it's on Adult Swim now! They said it would be more mature! (I don't really want this to happen I'm just here for the jokes)

Lmao

 

[TheShah]

Please don't die Scotsman. I'm mad nervous for next episode.

 

[Professor Lich]

Depressing prediction time:

That makes me think, what if;

Spoiler

Jack never gets his sword back but uses the Scotsman'a sword instead? It's still a magical enchanted sword!

 

[Neoxon]

The return of the Scotsman is gonna be nuts!

Also, nice to see Ashi finally see the light, plus it beats Jack having to talk to himself.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

God this show never lets me down. The visual interest in every frame is delivered in perfect measure.

 

[aly]

Another excellent episode. Good amount of humor this time too.

 

[TheFlow]

lol jack is getting his sword no matter what

And he can't use the Scotsman sword because it is too heavy for him

 

[Xe4]

That makes me think, what if;

Spoiler

Jack never gets his sword back but uses the Scotsman'a sword instead? It's still a magical enchanted sword!

Only Jack's sword can kill Aku. The Scotsman's blade is OP but it's still mortal and no mortal weapon can kill Aku.

Plus, Jack's blade is dope!

 

[Blues1990]

Up until this point, this is the most Jack has talked than the whole accumulation of the previous four seasons. Weird

Not particularly. It's not rare for Jack to go a while without saying anything.

Why is XCV still not up on Amazon Video T_T

Spoiler

That's what I thought, especially considering the red hair of the tank Drivers. Kind of hoping we see a few more of Jack's allies show up for the assault.

 

[Jocund]

Hopefully never.

It's going to happen.

You don't write that deer/doe scene for nothing

 

[Xe4]

It's going to happen.

There's a lot of reason to write that deer scene, to show their ignorance for example.

I can't see any way where the age difference wouldn't be weird.

Could've written literally anything else for that bit. We already knew they were ignorant.

And Ashi's an adult. Jack hasn't aged a day physically. It's not weird at all.

Color on point.

We knew they were ignorant, but not that they were that ignorant. Mostly, that was to reinforce that they didn't have a choice even though Jack acted like they did.

Also, Jack is mentally 70, and Ashi is mentally 10. Like the gap there is huge. there are reasons other than physical difference why we think its weird when much older people date much younger ones. The mental difference is the main reason why it's usually not cool.

Color on point.

No lies detected. This episode was gorgeous.

 

[Jocund]

We knew they were ignorant, but not that they were that ignorant. Mostly, that was to reinforce that they didn't have a choice even though Jack acted like they did.

I guess we'll have to see; I've seen stranger pairings. I don't think that because Ashi's lived a sheltered life that she's got the mental capacity of a prepubescent. She and the assassins have clearly been educated, just not in "frivolous" things like love and sexual attraction.

10 year olds couldn't track and battle Jack.

She lacks world experience, not intelligence.

 

[Seesaw15]

I didn't know people genuinely expected this to happen

I think the people advocating Jack X anyone pairings just want Jack to have an emotional connection with someone since the Scotsman is already married.

Ashii and Jack have enough in common for it to work on paper plus it's not like Jack is asexual or has taken a vow of celibacy.

Eh I guess...

If they do actually decide to have them pursue it, it's one of those things I'd have to see for myself before making any definitive judgments. But as it stands now, I'm not really a fan of the of them becoming intimate like that.

I mean, you can have an emotional connection with somebody without becoming their lover. I dunno, I have a huge aversion to shipping, and I just don't feel like Jack needs a love interest.

Lol I just want her to survive the series let alone shipping talk.

Jack was usually a man of few words in the older series, and wouldn't talk all that much. Not complaining, but it's so weird to have him talk so much.

Sure, I thought you were saying the opposite. Jack talked quite a bit comparatively but still not much compared to other shows. it's no more than say an episode featuring the Scotsman.

 

[cntr]

They're not going to pair up Jack and Ashi, jeez. Simply because she's a girl doesn't make it automatically romance.

He's usually talked this much in the comedy episodes, though he wasn't this snarky

Are you implying that Aku and Jack fucked?...like....what...

 

[Greenzxy]

Yea, he just sounds more emotional now.

 

[CrimzonSamurai]

Are you implying that Aku and Jack fucked?...like....what...

He's just implying that we've seen Jack develop emotional attraction to women before.

 

[Veelk]

Are you implying that Aku and Jack fucked?...like....what...

I bet Aku wishes he did so he could just rub it in Jack's face.

But no, he's saying they had a romantic/sexual tension between them.

physical as well

Aku probably wished he did imagine the trauma Jack would have.

 

[Seesaw15]

Come on at least use context clues. That scene shows that Jack has been attracted to/developed feelings for people he's traveled with before.

No, dude.

It is.
