Samurai Jack 5.09

C

Jack and Ashi are both embarrassed and act as if they should not have kissed. They clean up. Ashi finds some clothes to wear in the prison ship. Jack puts his gi back on. He tells her a little bit about his past.

Ashi wakes up the next morning. Jack is gone. He is trekking through the desert on foot. He gets to an area that looks familiar. He is exploring the area when Ashi catches up to him. She is angry at him for leaving.

Jack and Ashi don't get to speak for very long before Aku and Scaramouche show up. Aku is feeling like his old self ever since Scaramouche told him that Jack lost his sword. Aku's mood dims momentarily when he sees that Jack has his sword.

Aku smells something that smells like himself. It is Ashi that he smells. He realizes that she is his daughter. He forces her to fight Jack. When she doesn't seem to be making any progress he transforms her into a being like himself, but faceless.

Jack fights on but eventually decides that he can't. He kneels down and drops his sword. Aku picks it up.

Thoughts

Aku has finally comes back to life and seems like his old self.

I'm not surprised that this episode ended on a cliffhanger.

I like this one. There was some flirtatious behavior in it but it wasn't quite as bothersome as in the previous one.

I'm curious to see how things go in the final episode. Will Jack kill Ashi? Will Aku kill Jack? Will Ashi kill Aku? I want to know but not so badly that I can't wait another week.
