Indeed.....anyone else shitting a brick after that last episode tho! Super hyped for the finale!

Yeah man, that last episode tripped me out.

Here's my prediction. Since Ashi is now "Aku" and has the same abilities, theoretically speaking, she can make a time portal herself and send Jack to the past. :maybe:

 

[JamesYTP]

Ohhhhh I like that prediction. Very interesting yes.  Here's a dark one, Jack is forced to kill Ashi and then finishes Aku lives eternally alone with Scottsman and Ashi dead.

We're both called it!

That finale was so fucking good man. The old Samurai Jack intro was both nostalgic and depressing since it reminded me of Mako. 

All the characters that came out to help Samurai Jack was fun. It killed me when Aku basically massacre everyone. 

That ending though. Even more depressing? Jack still doesn't age. So he's basically going to live on as everyone dies around him :wagh:

It was a satisfying ending. I figured Ashi would have disappeared from existence regardless of whether she was actually a child of Aku or not.

Even more depressing is that even though all of Jack's allies died in the last battle, he fixed the future and they essentially would have no memory of him from the Aku Ruling timeline. That is, if they were the same people and the like. I figured the final scene was him outliving everyone in a distant future. But it was still very touching and emotionally-loaded. I'm happy to have seen Samurai Jack be concluded-- it was well worth the wait.

The thing I honestly found most depressing about the time thing is that basically that whole world was erased and possibly everyone else who lived it it with it. 

I know right! You were totally on point there though! 

I thought it was a great decision on their part to work Mako Iwamatsu into the finale somehow, classy move on their part IMO. Crazy how almost 11 years after his death it still feels weird that he's gone.

Yeah, the part I found most harsh there was there's a chance that Aku's future being erased means chances are everyone Jack knew there was erased too. 

I did kinda think that the last few scenes did feel a bit rushed. I was expected a return home to feel a bit bigger or something but it seemed glossed over. Took me a second to catch what they were trying to convey in that very last part too, but overall I am glad it got a chance to be concluded too.

I never got the last ending with the ladybug, might shed some light on that?

I figure that things needed to be glossed over since Genny only had 30 minutes rather than a finale, but I was satisfied with the ending. 

Aku Future being erased from existence is definitely harsh. I wonder how Jack would react that he practically immortal in a sense? Unless defeating Aku somehow restores Jack to age again, Aku technically got the last laugh at the end.

The lady bug, basically was symbolic of the beauty of natural life. what I think they were going for with that was kind of a call back to that scene early in the season when young Ashi looked out of the cave for the first time and saw a life form from the outside for the first time and was taken by it. She sees one again right before she opens herself to the idea that Jack might be right about Aku having destroyed the beautiful world that was. So what I guess they were going for was Jack just going out and admiring what they saved. 

I think what made him immortal was being in a time he didn't belong in...could be wrong though.
