Samurai Jack Season 5 Episode 8 Review (Spoilers)

“Wasn’t expecting that Ending”

Another Sunday means another Samurai Jack review episode so let’s get to it.

We start off the episode with a huge squared black ship flying through space. As it's flying it's struck by meteors and falls down to earth.

We then get to Jack and Ashi as they prepare their journey to Aku. They get on a huge camel and with them are a bunch of green tigers each with a different letter pushing Jack and Ashi closer together. We then start seeing a moment between the two and it was really funny seeing Jack all nervous. I don’t think he’s ever been so close to a girl before so this must be the first girl he’s ever cared for. Jack starts seeing the letters from the tigers form the letter “Die Samurai Jack” and the tigers start attacking the two heroes as they are fighting we still see Jack and Ashi getting close to each other apologizing towards each other.

Jack and Ashi get off the camel and continue their journey on foot. They come across the black spaceship that fell onto earth at the start of the episode. It turned out to be a prison. A blue leech finds itself on Ashi. That was a sign for them to get out. They start hearing a noise and start running. They find the prison cell for the creatures that's chasing them and it turns out to be a huge leech creature.

The two escape for now and find a room with a bunch of weapons and find info on the enemy creature and the ship prepares a weapon called X-49 that will help defeat the creature. As the ship is giving instructions on how to use X-49 to stop the creature Jack is distracted by Ashi blowing up the wall thus missing his chance on how to use X-49.

Ashi is ready to go fight but Jack lies and says yes (still not knowing how to use X-49.) They are fighting the creature and Jack can’t get the device to work. Ashi tries using it but the leech attacks her and her clothes get drained thus making Ashi naked and the look on Jack’s face was priceless turning all red.

The creature then splits itself into many clones and surrounds two. It looked like the two were about to face their death until X-49 activates and destroys the creature. As soon as the creature is destroyed Jack and Ashi start kissing thus ending the episode.

In the end this was a pretty decent episode. This episode was based on the relationship between Jack and Ashi. It was pretty funny seeing Jack get nervous whenever he got close to Ashi but I will say this. I definitely wasn’t expecting that kiss. It seemed kind of fast and awkward. As soon as they defeated the creature they just start kissing. I mean the kiss was going to happen sooner or later I just wasn’t expecting to be when they have bug’s blood on them. But overall I liked the episode. Jack and Ashi are now official!!!
