So about the Ashi army fight thing. Maybe the human characters in Samrurai Jack are kinda like the human vs orcs in LOTR. Humans have been shown to be stronger and way better at fighting than orcs. So maybe its like that?

She was trained to fight the greatest warrior of all time and win, why is her beating an army so crazy? Jack does it all the time and she was trained to kill him, so it follows she should be able to beat an army too.

Hell, the Scotsman was the only human on Jack's level before this. Well, other than his wife (who is the GOAT).

speaking of the Scotsman, wtf happened to THAT plotline? Shows up randomly at the beginning of the episode, and then it all just disappears. I presume it'll come back, but damn that was a weird place to put it.

Cuz she's a girl dude! Girls don't win fights.

Ashi was shown to have been through years of training starting from the moment she was born. It is absolutely believable that she can be an OP badass in this universe. Just like Jack.

Unlike a certain other female character who's instantly the bestest at everything in her Universe...

If you are talking about who i think you are talking about please not bring that discussion here

 

[NEO0MJ]

Don't listen to him FJ...

 

[caliph95]

We were having so much fun too

 

[Fj0823]

The funny thing is that I was initially thinking about Bella Swan, the best most beautiful and powerful vampire ever. I'm powering through that shit in exchange for my GF reading Harry Potter.

Spoiler

The worst part is that she hasn't read Twilight at all, she just wants to see me suffer for coming up with the challenge

But the fact you both thought about the same character says a lot.

Anyways, derailing aside I stand by my point. Ashi had a training montage just like Jack's, if that was enouth for us to buy Jack's OP bs it should also apply for Ashi.

We just a had a thread relating to a certain franchise so my mind was on that.
And yes Ashi is not bella

 

[Terareflection]

Ashi running through the army was the best part of the episode. Stop hating...

Good save ; )
I don't think there's a single person on this forum not sick of *that* topic.

 

[Nikodemos]

Anywhere I can find more tidbits like this? That's interesting.

There's a "making of" video where they show the early sketches.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

That episode was amazing. Don't know what everyone is complaining about.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Fun fact: having criticism on how silly a scene looked doesn't mean you are a hater or are sexist. I don't understand these leaps

 

[kewlmyc]

Enjoyed the episode, but yeah, I felt the way Jack magically got his robes and wizard hat sword back was kinda lackluster. Oh well, Ashi was cool this episode.

 

[LucidMomentum]

I think it's more or less to save time as the season doesn't have a ton of episodes.

I would've loved a big ol' journey to reclaim the sword, but the tea making scene was pretty cool.

 

[dankir]

Man you guys complain about everything. The episode was great.

Do we know if the final episode will also be 22 minutes long or longer?

They established that sort of thing with Jack's father in the original run of the show.

Did you miss the first couple of episode when it was nonstop praise or we can't be critical?

Some of the arguments against these scenes are genuinely sexist, though. lest we forget that "Genndy cucked us with Ashii" post a few pages back. People are just on edge about that.

I thought it was fine. She's trained to kill Jack & proven herself competent enough to do so. Plus the first wave she literally just barged them using a meat shield/ram through on a narrow path on a mountain's edge, so I totally buy that.

 

[BY2K]

I just realized.

Scaramouche is gonna tell Aku Jack lost the sword only for Jack to show up like 5 minutes later with the sword.

That scene is gonna be something.

 

[Maximo]

Hahahaha yeeeeep might finally get Aku out of his hole.

 

[Veelk]

Wait, so is that how Jack kept finding a new Kimono everytime it got destroyed in the first series? He just regrew it from divine prayer?

I don't even know what that word means in this context. Crazy.

Don't you know Jack is a samurai cleric multi class who's sword does like +20 smite evil damage?

Yet he spent an entire episode looking for new shoes.

tbh I kinda like the new cleaner look for Jack. I didn't really notice the change before the comparison pic though.

Yeah its gonna be fun!

He spent an entire episode completely naked as well, to be fair.

Really looking forward to tonight's episode as well. We haven't had a tens, against the wall episode in a while, and I think this can fit the bill well.

 

[BY2K]

It's time.

 

[Saucycarpdog]

Jack time!

 

[IronRinn]

Time to start down the home stretch.

 

[ricelord]

SOMETHING SOMETHING TIME FOR JACK SOMETHING.

 

[Saucycarpdog]

It's scorpio!

 

[chaosblade]

It's an Xbox in space? Weird.

 

[zeemumu]

Walrus Zoidberg.

Zoidberg?

 

[IronRinn]

Totally Zoidberg.

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Nixon? Zoidburg!?

 

[Saucycarpdog]

Sex joke!

 

[Kamek]

LOLLLLLL

 

[woodland]

Never thought I'd see Jack make a boner joke

 

[RagnarokX]

"Just give me something crawling with parasites."

 

[zeemumu]

Is that a FOOLISH SAMURAI WARRIOR WIELDING A MAGIC SWORD or are you just happy to see her?

 

[Ryouji Gunblade]

OMG, the metro groping reference.

 

[PixelatedBookake]

Guys they're falling in love

hmm isnt jack like 70 or something.
