X-49, a robot heavy who used to work for Aku, comes out of retirement for one last job: kill Samurai Jack. X-49 was the best of the X line of robots, possibly beause he had been given an emotion chip. It made him sensitive in a way that the other robots were not. His fellow robots were eventually killed off. He retired and spent his time in retirement with Lulu, his dog.
X-49 agrees to come out of retirement and hunt Jack down after Aku kidnaps Lulu. He tracks down Jack. The confrontation occurs in an old robot factory. Jack, in the end, proves to be a little little too quick for X-49.
The flashbacks to X-49's early days are colored differently. The music is very smooth jazz. Jack doesn't speak a single line, nor does Aku. X-49 narrates the story and does all the talking.
Jack is the antagonist and isn't in this one all that much. The first half of the episode is all X-49.
I like this episode. It stands out. It's different.
