Samurai Jack 4.09

XLVIII: Jack vs. Aku

Aku tires of watching his minions fail to kill Jack. He proposes a duel in which Jack cannot use his sword. Jack accepts provided that Aku cannot use his super powers, receive assistance from his minions, or fight Jack as anything other than a human.

Jack quickly gets the upper hand in the fight. Aku quickly gets frustrated and resorts to using his powers. One of his minions finds Jack's sword but it turns out to be a fake, planted by Jack. There are lots more fake swords many of which are found by Aku's minions. Jack finally comes after Aku with the real sword but the villain tranforms into a bat like creature and flies off.

Thoughts

This episode was a great mix of humor and action. I loved the negotiation over the terms of the duel. It felt a bit surreal but it really brought a smile to my face.
