Samurai Jack 5.01

XCII

Jack is an older man now. He is haunted by his past, memories of his parents. His magic sword is gone. He rides a motorcycle. He fights with guns and knives. 

Seven girls are trained from infancy. They are the Daughters of Aku. Their mission in life is to find and kill Samurai Jack.

Jack arrives at a burned out city. Scaramouch, the minion of Aku who destroyed the city, has been waiting for Jack. Scaramouch is a robot but his voice is magical. He has a sense of humor but his jokes fall flat on Jack's ears. Scaramouch seems to get the upper hand in the fight but Jack is victorious in the end.

Thoughts

This does not feel like the first four seasons of the show. There was a lot of exposition in this episode. I think it would have been better served if the episode had been longer.

I'm not won over by this episode. I want to see more but this episode didn't stoke the fire.
