Samurai Jack 5.03

XCIV

Jack floats downstream holding on to a log. He sees the dark rider. He eventually leaves the river and finds a cave. He pulls the dagger out of his gut and sews himself up. The white wolf joins him in the cave. Jack dreams of his youth. Jack heals up, with some help from the wolf that brings him food and helps to keep him warm.

The Daughters of Aku resume their search for Jack. They follow signs to his passage along the river. Their efforts eventually lead them to Jack. He warns them to back off but they keep coming. He kills three of them. The fight continues. They corner him on a tree limb that juts out over a cliff. He kills them too but them the tree limb breaks and he falls.

Thoughts

The first half of this episode is all about Jack healing. The second half is about the Daughters of Aku tracking him down and what follows.

I'm not sure that the Daughters of Aku are dead. It seemed like he killed one of them in the previous episode but there was still 6 of them in this episode. In the middle of the fight, when there is just three left they seem to merge their bodies into one six armed body. That also seems to indicate that aren't normal humans.

I thought the wolf was dead but clearly it survived. Will it return? It was only in the first half of this episode.

I'm starting to get the feel for this show. It is definitely different from the previous four seasons of the show. I think I prefer the first four seasons over this one but I have only watched 30% of this season. There's still time for me to change my mind.
