The thing I always found hilarious/interesting about this is that both Jack and Aku drove each other into depressed nervous wrecks. They were just so ~tired~ by the end.
I noticed that too. Jack was too skilled and clever a warrior for Aku too kill. However, Aku was too powerful for Jack too kill even with the sword in hand. They were just too evenly matched. That's why Ashi was so important. She literally could tip the scale either way
@@maestrulgamer9695 And even if Jack found him while roaming for who knows how long, he had no sword cause he flipped out over the last time portal being destroyed.
@@nubreed13 what I donât understand is why he waited until Jack in the future arrived to start destroying the time portals when he couldâve done it ahead of time while he was gone
@@KingDusk278 also people of that time may have built their own time portables so he constantly had to go destroying them until a point where word got around that if you got caught building a time portal Kay would not only destroy it but also you for trying
@@KingDusk278 basically he destroyed the way back to Jackâs time and then just thought heâd wait out Jack. You know, closing the door after the moth has entered the room- sure you can open it back up but getting the moth back out is difficult.
You'd think fifty years wouldn't be so long for an entity that's been around since the freaking DINOSAURS. But I guess having a FOOOOLISH SA-MOO-RAI constantly up your grill must make time seem to slow down.
Thats exactly the thing. Aku cant enjoy his âeternal evil powerâ EXACTLY because Jack is out there, messing with him. He probably hates being immortal if it means being immortal with Samurai at his throat. So in order to finally enjoy or even tolerate his existence he wants to destroy the Samurai.
It's less that it's long for him and more that after 50 years of Jack not aging it became clear that he'd accidentally also made him immortal, which means his plan of just waiting for Jack to die of old age wouldn't work. Meaning he'd just be stuck with Jack coming after him forever.
And if Jack doesn't do anything for a thousand years, that can just mean he is planning something. Jack could start to take the long game and undermine Aku's powerbase.
Iâm just amazed the physical embodiment of hammy evil studied psychology and therapy. Yeah heâs over 65,000,000 years old but it just doesnât seem like something aku would bother with.
I remember when this episode was brand new. Everyone was terrified that the new and final season of Samurai Jack was gonna be super dark, edgy, and adult. Then THIS happened and everyone's fears were put to rest.
I don't remember anyone being afraid of that and were actually excited that it would be more mature as everyone that watched the original as a kid became adults or almost adults by the time the series came back
Life is a journey not a destination, at this point they're just doing it for the sake of it. Kinda like everyone who decided to finish reading Bleach after the first few arcs.
Oh for the love, am I the only who thinks that the episode we watch are the days he takes on his journey not the actual years. Like every episode equals one day unless the events are connected. The years we've been watching are not the actual representation of the time goes by. Am I the only one who thinks that!?

AKU is one of my fav villains of ALL time. He can go from pure comedy, to depression and always being a great villain. He has so much range and personality unlike 99% of all the villains out there.
i like the fact that an extremely ancient demon thing that the gods themselves tried to kill somehow doesn't know enough grammar to know what a conundrum is.
Basically, Aku thought he would trap Jack in the future he rules forever, only to realize due to Jack being unable to age because he was affected by time traveling, Aku is the one trapped with Jack forever.
âââ@@brentdye1504 he sent him to the future because he would have been killed in their iconic first battle Jack had him on the ropes for a knockout but Aku pulled a hail Mary to save his ass and thought he would kill him later

But yet because jack is still alive heâs just dosnt care about anything and is massively depressed.
@@TPDManiacXC626 Greg Baldwin did a pretty good job and I think Mako Iwamatsu would be proud of him, but no one will ever be able to truly replace Mako himself. Mako's voice was unique.
To be honest, being your own therapist isn't as crazy as one would think. Since it's you, the therapist already knows your problems, so you don't need to be nervous about talking to them about them. The advice you give yourself can be helpful or not, but it's better than keeping it bottled up deep inside you.
It is very crazy especially when your status as your own therapist prevents you from finding productive solutions to your problems but you do so anyway.
1:01 i dont know why but i love the way he says that line of "but he hasnt even aged" it sounds so genuine that hes upset that he enemy hasnt just gotten old and died already.
"Well... I just assumed that eventually, over time, he would just DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!" A perfectly logical train of thought, that most ancient immortal villains don't ever come up with, just a shame the plot conspired against you there Aku...

At this point Aku was sick of fending Jack off and Jack was sick of the hopeless battle with Aku. They were permanently stalemated, and it was even driving the ancient Oni completely batshit. Considering this whole scene was him talking to himself, Gollum/Smeagol style, it's a first class example of black humor. One of many examples in the last season of Samurai Jack.
I think I understand Aku's problem. Now that Jack's lost his sword, he's barely a threat to him. So, when you're greatest enemy has lost their edge. Where's the fun in ruling the universe anymore

Jack has an inner Jack who hates his guts and Aku has an inner psychiatrist who actually seems pretty competent. Itâs weird to consider which of the two is more emotionally stable...
To be fair Akuâs plan was actual pretty solid. He had tried to kill Jack so many times that he eventually just gave up. Plus he still thought he had the sword so there was no reason to keep trying so he just decided to wait it out over time. I mean he has to die EVENTUALLY right?
In all fairness, Aku was paranoid, and it wasn't the first time that Jack tricked Aku into believing he lost his sword by using a "Fake sword", which Aku can't distinguish between the fake and the original. He fears the possibility of Jack outsmarting and killing him, even if there is a slim chance of Jack actually losing the sword for real, he wouldn't seize it due to his paranoia.
@@razumahiroki9216 Oh this is a great explanation. Thanks. I actually remember there was that one episode where Jack just spread a whole bunch of fake swords around their battlefield.
All the list of Aku Step 1: Send the Samurai in the future Step 2:Destroy all the time portals Step 3:Send all the universe you fall.

i love how much jack scared Aku and vis versa to the point of somewhat PTSD, where aku is taking therapy (from himself) and jack has a corrupted side of him.
What better way to hold the Samurai to the mark and screw with Aku subtly behind the scenes? Make the unspeakable evil guy's greatest enemy Immortal until the job is done. Well played, deities.
You know whatâs ironic, Aku and Jack are a foil to each other. Jack wants to kill Aku for what heâs done to him and his home and Aku wants to kill him cause heâs scared everything heâs made will taken away from him as well. Jack goes towards his goal by becoming faster, smarter, and stronger but still willing to help others and not let anyone die while Aku uses his minions to do his dirty work and when he does get personal, he uses his cunning and shapeshifting powers to care of him and doesnât care at all of how many people dies as long as he wins
Aku- âI canât believe my powers are so âalmightyâ that I recently discovered that I unintentionally gave my Mortal Enemy enteral Youth! âčïžâ
Well, you die a hero or live long enough to be the villain usually but I guess in this case, you start out as the villain and living long enough to be your psychiatrist.
Step 1: Send Samurai into future
Step 2: Destroy all time portals
Step 3: Idk, never thought Iâd get this far
Underrated
Well step 3 was to wait until the Samurai just grow old and died but XD
Step 3: Wait until the Samurai dies of age

That reminded me of Discord as well. XD
Psychiatrist Aku: I'm not paid enough to deal with this shit
Aku: you're getting paid?
I guess you could say Aku was beside himself with stress.
I love how he asks himself what a word meansđđ
The real reason someone becomes a psychology major, to develop a split objective personality that is able to define your internal issues
I love how Aku eventually just resorted to waiting out Jackâs death
Jack has an inner Jack who hates his guts and Aku has an inner psychiatrist who actually seems pretty competent. Itâs weird to consider which of the two is more emotionally stable...
0:27 Never caught this before...Doc Aku glances downward upon hearing how long it's been...
Once I E R A D I C A T E D all the time portals...
"I don't care, I don't even- I don't even care!
*I care immensely."*
Best villain of all time. Change my mind!
Yeah, that's what I thought
"Who cares I certainly don't" you will if its thicc Aku
To be fair Akuâs plan was actual pretty solid. He had tried to kill Jack so many times that he eventually just gave up. Plus he still thought he had the sword so there was no reason to keep trying so he just decided to wait it out over time. I mean he has to die EVENTUALLY right?
You know you've literally descended into madness...when you become your own therapist
If you put aside how evil aku is and all the horrible things he's done he is a really chill guy they would want to hang around with.
Aku is just like Megamind here... he wanted always to have a good fight with his enemy
It's so hilarious that for 50 years he did not realize that he could have easily gotten rid of Jack because he no longer had his sword XD
In all fairness, Aku was paranoid, and it wasn't the first time that Jack tricked Aku into believing he lost his sword by using a "Fake sword", which Aku can't distinguish between the fake and the original.
He fears the possibility of Jack outsmarting and killing him, even if there is a slim chance of Jack actually losing the sword for real, he wouldn't seize it due to his paranoia.
@@razumahiroki9216 Oh this is a great explanation. Thanks.
I actually remember there was that one episode where Jack just spread a whole bunch of fake swords around their battlefield.
@@HubiKoshi I mean, there are several good reasons why Aku is paranoid to begin with, and that is one of them đ
it's amazing just how much more human aku becomes as the series goes on.
The perfect villain.
Comedic and Evil
50 years?! I thought it was a 17 year timeskip. That would explain why Da Sam Moo Rai was an old man during this season.
0:56 reminds me of Men in Black 3 when future Boris meets past younger Boris and they roared at each other at the same time after an argument
i think this is one of the few times cartoon network didnt reboot
treated the thing with respect
and let it have it's own grand finale
All the list of Aku
Step 1: Send the Samurai in the future
Step 2:Destroy all the time portals
Step 3:Send all the universe you fall.
Step 4:return to your prime universe
Step 5:hide you pretend to be dead.
Step 6: accidentally you get reborn a teletubby
Step 7:get more aliases
Step 8: say fool
Step 9:EXTRA THIC
step 10:kill samurai's son (almost)
Step 11:Ask your self about manele
Step 12: corruption all prime universe
Step 13: which TV
Step 14 :you realized the samurai its dead
Step 15:Idk ,never thought I'd get far.
"Extra thick"
i love how much jack scared Aku and vis versa to the point of somewhat PTSD, where aku is taking therapy (from himself) and jack has a corrupted side of him.
Aku is just secretly Jealous of Jacks beard
The ambient background sound adds to it allđ
Even Dark Lords need therapy
Dank Lordâs of the Smithâs, Darth Aku.
Aku is on the list of villains nobody can hate
...when I see Aku's 'Die' face in this clip I have the urge to edit it so that it's not "DIIIIIE!" but a huge belch..
Make a CZcams Poop of the scene then, like in the good old CZcams times.
âYeees! Pro-blem.â
I absolutely love how he said that.
What better way to hold the Samurai to the mark and screw with Aku subtly behind the scenes?
Make the unspeakable evil guy's greatest enemy Immortal until the job is done.
Well played, deities.
You know whatâs ironic, Aku and Jack are a foil to each other. Jack wants to kill Aku for what heâs done to him and his home and Aku wants to kill him cause heâs scared everything heâs made will taken away from him as well. Jack goes towards his goal by becoming faster, smarter, and stronger but still willing to help others and not let anyone die while Aku uses his minions to do his dirty work and when he does get personal, he uses his cunning and shapeshifting powers to care of him and doesnât care at all of how many people dies as long as he wins
The fact he asked himself what a word he used meant and got an actual, correct answer, from himself
Aku- âI canât believe my powers are so âalmightyâ that I recently discovered that I unintentionally gave my Mortal Enemy enteral Youth! âčïžâ
Both the "Therapist and Aku" being connected to each other (physically), shows that aku actually is kinda smart, but lonely
0:57
Hasan Misto When my best friend and I had a spicy chilli eating challenge and backed out at the same time.
lol theire face
Me: "Hey Akus, want me to order a pizza?"
Akus: *"AYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEE!"*
So Aku doomed himself by sending Jack to the future AND destroying his way back to the past. He really was his own worst enemy
"DDDDDDDIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE" đ
How to go through therapy 101.
One of the best moments in the show choke full of best moments :)
Well, you die a hero or live long enough to be the villain usually but I guess in this case, you start out as the villain and living long enough to be your psychiatrist.
