XVIII: Jack and the Ultra-robots
- Jack wanders from town to town, all of which have been destroyed, looking for those responsible
- Eventually he finds the robots who have wrecked so many towns; much to his dismay his sword seems to have no effect on them, it can't even cut them
- Jack runs and hides; while he is hiding for the robots who are hunting him he is approached by a scientist who (a) created the robots, and (b) offers Jack a solution to his dilemma: a bionic arm
- with the bionic arm Jack is able to defeat most of the killer robots but then, when all but one of the robots have been destroyed, the bionic arm runs out of juice
- Jack prays to his ancestors and a bolt of light shines down on him and he is granted the strength enough to defeat the final robot
- not great but there were some nice touches in this episode that I really liked
- in the first act, when Jack was wandering from village to village, I liked how the story was split between Jack and scenes of the scientist's lab
- the robot were made of adamantium, according to the scientist who built them, and powered by Aku, who showed up briefly but did not confront Jack himself
- I feared for the scientist when he asked Jack for a high-five and Jack was wearing the bionic arm, lucky for the scientist, Jack had no idea what the scientist was talking about
- I have no recollection of this episode but I must have seen it before
- many of the robots carried swords so there were some nice sword fights, although they also used other weapons
