Samurai Jack (TV Series) Episode XCVII (2017) User Reviews

One of the best

[ericstevenson · 10/10 · 24 April 2017]

Well, this is now one of my favorite episodes simply because we get to see such wonderfully strong emotions put into all of the characters. Well, it's also great that we get to see a bunch of old characters come back. Now, this show had few recurring characters so it's just great to see all of these one shot characters return! I remember at least most of them. There's also this great subplot where one of Aku's henchman, Scaramouch is trying to tell Aku that Jack lost his magic sword. Hey, we finally get to hear the characters say some bad words! That guy's head really does look like a penis.

Anyway, what's so strong is Ashi realizing that Jack has touched so many people's lives and he actually has gone off to commit suicide believing his life to be a failure. It ends wonderfully with Jack saying that they're going to look for his lost sword. Ashi's black body was apparently something actually burned onto her and she actually manages to scrub it off her body. She appears in this new grass dress which Jack thinks looks nice on her. Please don't ship them. Please don't ship them. ****

Allies that Jack has known

Looks like all the allies that Jack has met and known from the past seasons were appearing on Season 5, and Ashi happens to meet them. Surprising that two allies that Jack has met both aged, other than the Scotsman from the last episode. Poor Ashi, it was shocking to see how bad her childhood was for her and her sisters. Ashi has become a lot more convinced that Jack is the hero and Aku is the villain. I was shocked to see that Jack was nearly going to commit suicide until Ashi came and told him that he is the good guy, brought so much hope & inspiration, and the children who were brainwashed were alive. Looks like Jack in now back to his usual self and was able to destroy the mysterious Samurai. Now Jack must find his sword, destroy Aku, and go back to the past. It is surprising that Astro from the Jetsons has appeared. What was shocking the robot assassin from the first episode of Season 5 is alive and how a head only, looks like he is going to go find or call Aku to tell him that Jack doesn't have his sword no more, but that will be too late for the robot assassin because Jack will be getting his sword back. This is first episode where is so much bad words in it. Also, Jack should shave his beard and mustache. The armor Jack wore from the first episode of Season 5, I hope he wears that again and uses the sword to fight Aku. I'm also impressed that there is a song that is named after Jack in honor of him being the savior. For Jack to go back to the past, instead of going to first time he fought Aku which was before he sent him to the future, he should go back before Jack was born to help his father destroy Aku early rather imprison him so that Aku would be gone forever and will never cause anymore chaos forever.
