Samurai Jack Season 5 Episode 7 (Spoilers)

“Battle within yourself”

Holy crap!! That’s all I have to say about this episode. Let’s get down to this episode.

We start off the with a flashback with a younger Jack coming across a cute animal asking for a time portal. He comes across a time portal. As Jack jumps through the time portal Aku pulls him out and destroys the portal. This was the last time portal for Jack which throws him into a rage. Aku sends three creatures and Jack kills them but comes to find out those creatures were the little animals that helped him find the portal. This devastates Jack and makes him lose focus thus losing his sword. So now we find out how Jack lost his sword and lost his way.

We now see the current Jack and Ashi looking for the sword. They come to the same location where Jack had lost his sword. They couldn’t find it and the reason they couldn’t it is that Jack said “I did not lose the sword but the sword left me.”.

Jack medicates in order to find his sword. He tells Ashi this is something I have to do alone. As Jack is medicating Ashi sees army heading their direction. Jack medicates into a different world where he comes around a small house and sees a monk that could help him.

Ashi heads down the mountain to stop the army. Now I at first I thought Ashi would eventually be tired fighting the army and lose but that wasn't the case. Ashi beat the crap out the army and acted like it was nothing.This just give me more reason to love Ashi.

Ashi sees someone at the top of the mountain ready to kill Jack. Ashi makes it in time to save Jack and it turns out to be Ashi’s mother. She convinces Ashi to kill Jack but she refuses and then we see a nice mother daughter throw down. As Ashi’s mother makes a final attempt to kill Jack Ashi throws an arrow at her thus killing her.

We are back to the house where Jack prepares tea for the monk. The monk said that there’s no balance in this tea and also tells Jack that he can’t show him the path to his sword. We see the younger Jack angered and Jack tells his younger self that you are the reason why we lost the the sword. Jack’s hate took over him and blinded him from everything. With Jack getting rid of his hate showed balance and is transported to Odin, Ra and Vishnu the same gods that forged Jack’s father sword. Jack gets his sword back returns to his old self looking young again with his white kimono robe.

Jack is back in the real world and finds Ashi telling her the next plan is defeating Aku, thus ending the episode.

Another great episode. It was really cool to see to Ashi whoop some butt and having her fight her own mother was awesome and it if there was any doubt that Ashi would betray Jack was thrown out the window. Best part for me was seeing our favorite hero get his sword back but not only get his sword back he also got his white kimono robe back. Their next mission is to stop Aku.
