“A New Ashi and a Returning Jack”

It’s Sunday so you know what time it is. Time for another Samurai Jack Review.

We start off with Ashi looking for Jack on an air blimp where she is confronted by two guys in hoodies who happened to be the Woolies. The Woolies explained to Ashi that he saved them from the Chritchellites. Ashi continues her journey but the next scene shows Scaramouch headless but still alive. Scaramouch now hops around to find Aku to tell him the news about Jack not having his sword.

Ashi comes finds a forest where she comes across the three archers that Jack saved when they were guarding the magical portal. They tell Ashi their story of how JAck sacrificed the portal to go home to save them from the curse. They have statue of Jack in their village to honor him.

We see headless Scaramouch board a ship where he hopes to find Aku.

Ashi then comes across a rave party asking for the samurai and we see the DJ that happens to be one of the children that use to be controlled by Aku’s DJ. The DJ dedicated their music to Jack after saving them.

We then see Ashi come across a small pond. We see a flashback of a younger Ashi and her sisters. We see a pit that leads to burning coal that resembles Aku’s darkness. Their mother dropped them in the burning coal to turn their body pitch black. Now this surprised me. I thought they were in bodysuits. I’m sure a lot of people were surprised by this. Ashi jumps in the pond to get the burned ashes off of her. Here we see a brand new beautiful Ashi. New hair and new clothes. Ashi now looks like a beautiful leaf warrior. That probably isn't even a word.

We jump  to Scaramouch back on the ship where he tries to call Aku and tell the news about Jack’s sword but ends up getting kicked out of the ship for having too much of a mouth.

Ashi is then at a bar where see the aged Sam-Moo-Rhai who tells Ashi that he made me change my ways then for some odd random reason we see Demongo returning to find warrior's soul to collect but didn’t like the warriors he saw at the bar and leaves. That scene was really random I guess they probably wanted more comedy in the episode. Ashi continues looking for Jack and is confronted by a mysterious person and tells Ashi the location of Jack.

Ashi then comes across a graveyard where she finds Jack. The horseman confronts Ashi and tells her that she cannot interfere. This graveyard is a place for warriors that failed their purpose. Jack was there to kill himself. Ashi reaches out to Jack to tell him that there’s still hope and that you helped many people and touched them. Ashi tells Jack the hope you gave me saved my life and that you saved the children you thought you killed. After hearing that Jack had come to his senses and defeats the Horseman. He tells Ashi it’s time to find my sword thus ending the episode.

In the end this was another great episode. It was cool to see the people from past episodes that Jack saved. This shows Ashi the impact that Jack had on everybody. I also liked seeing Scaramouch again. He definitely made the episode funny and he says this one very inappropriate word which was really. I said this before but I was really surprised that was Ashi’s bare skin with ashes. I’m loving her new look she just looks beautiful. I also said this that I believed that Ashi would be the final piece of Jack finding his way and she was. Ashi saved Jack from killing himself by telling him that there’s still hope and that you saved my life. We might even see a romance between Ashi and Jack. Our hero is finally back and I can’t wait to see what happens next!!!
