I wonder what is the relationship between the cult and Aku. The cult seems to have if any minimal contact with Aku even though they basically worshiping him and raising warriors to serve him. Yet that assassin dude was able to randomly call him on a cell phone.

Do you guys think the Guardian is going to make an appearance again?

He has to, he is guarding the only portal left for Jack to go back to the past. Unless there are more portals... I mean there could always be more "portals". Also did Jack lose his sword in Season 4? Or is this a new thing?

If Aku really has destroyed every time portal, could see them having the Guardian be some crazed, wandering warrior now that he has no purpose. Maybe he'll team up with Jack.

Something I realized was the episode number seemed....higher? Like the Roman numermal was in the 90s....


Are they planning on going back to fill in the difference? Pretty clever if they are using these 10 episodes as a measuring rod for possibly doing the inbetween years

Just a thought: Even if every time portal is destroyed, wouldn't Aku himself still have the ability to create a time portal at will like he did the first time he and jack fought?

Is Aku really the only being in existence in this entire fantasy-ridden world with the ability to create a time portal?

Where the heck did all of those time portals even come in the first place?

Not really anything specific. I think you're good if you've seen the pilot episodes of the original run.

There is barely any continuity between episodes besides the premise and some recurring characters, though this season seems to have an arc compared to the other seasons being done in one standalone episodes. You can pretty much watch season 5 and get what is going on with basic knowledge of the show.

I assume you went "through" to season 3. I don't completely think a clean run is that great for Season 5, but I do think if you watched the opening movie/episodes 1-3, that's definitely enough. Things like Aku origins and Scottsman is super gravy.

For reference the last episode was 52, so apparently we missed 39 episodes (or 3 13 episode seasons) between the end of season 4 and the start of season 5.

I really enjoyed the first episode, the art is really beautiful and the sound is really good too but waiting for new episodes is going to be a really annoying. =/

Aku don't care. Heck do we even know if Aku is even still alive?
Is he really even in control anymore?

This being 50 years later must mean no Scotsman unless people in the future age differently.

Spoilers from one of the reviews from someone who saw the first three episodes, but Aku is still alive, don't even know what that's a question since in the series he's been alive for literal centuries.

Apparently episode 2 opens up with Aku's morning wake-up ritual.

I was confused when the ending sequence started, surely 20 mins hadn't passed!

Time literally disappeared while I was watching.

So fucking good.

An Artificial Intelligence that's replaced Aku :V
Or heck maybe he didn't really call Aku and was making fun of Jack

@Dusk Golem- Ah fair enough, looking forward to Aku haminess.

It seemed impossible, but Jack's really back. And didn't miss a beat.

Time to rewatch the series to fill in some of the wait between episodes!

I love how they managed to keep the silliness going with the assassin even though Jack's in serious mode, this is the Jack I know and love just with a bit more seriousness mixed in, it's like it never left.

I absolutely LOVE how they kept the original credits sequence too, so nostalgic. I'm really happy we're finally getting a conclusion, but I almost wish it wasn't only 10 episodes because it's just so good and nice to have Jack back again.

The only mystery I have left to care about now is whether we get Finely Aged Scotsman...or Scotsman Progeny?

Great start though---after all these years at that.
