"l have attained the highest levels of awareness and wisdom

>"l have attained the highest levels of awareness and wisdom.
But look at you-- you have lived as long as l and you are the same as when l last saw you-- your youth maintained your chi and the power within you must be the--the highest of all.
You have surpassed me."

What did he mean when he said this?

Nothing. He thought Samurai jack must have gotten some sort of greater power not being aware that Aku sent him to the future.

but Jack didn;t age in the next 50 years...and also, he said he had "The highest levels of awareness and wisdom" your going to say he still made such a silly mistake

He achieve a high level, but was immediately wrong, meaning he didn't achieve the highest level.

Hurr durr.

Well he's objectively wrong about Jack achieving the highest levels of whatever. Jack has serious anger issues throughout the whole series which repeatedly fuck him over.

but was he wrong?

>highest levels of awareness.
>haunted by hallucinations
>lost his sword

I don't think so tim

Maybe he is very very aware at how fucking nuts he is right now?

>Can see ghosts
>Not a higher level of awareness
just because you know more doesn't mean the world gets prettier, user

maybe he's not nuts

Why the fuck didn't Jack spend a few more years there learning how to channel his chi and use the force like that monk hitting the giant metal bell?

He can learn how to jump good in a matter of days. He can learn how to control a flying spacesuit in a few minutes.
What's keeping him from learning the extra level of monk powers in under 1 year?

the episode was pretty bad anyway

Needs to kill some shapeshifting master of darkness who is meanwhile being a colossal jerk to everyone.

if by bad you mean great

In those 50 years do you guys think that Jack tried going back and was trailed by a henchman of Aku who revealed its secret location? A place Aku can't see is a place I don't think will remain forever, especially if Jack just vanishes from his live video feed when he goes near it.

Thats basically why he left, and didn't come back to train.

The Grand Master is actually wrong.

He clearly HAS NOT been doing that for the past multiple years

What if Aku lied and he didn't send Jack to the future? Instead Jack was in a coma for thousands of years and just didn't age during that time?

Kinda like Link sleeping for years in Ocarina of Time (without the aging)

>Grandmaster claims that Jack has become ageless
>Jack corrects him, saying Aku flung him into the future
>mfw the Grandmaster was right all along

Since the sword is forged from human goodness and will, couldn't a monk theoretically become spiritually strong enough to punch Aku to death by surrounding his hands with chi like Iron Fist?

he doesnt age because of time shenanigans, not because of some spiritual power

probably hurt but not enough to destroy him, remember the sword was also forged by gods, not something easy to find

by bad I mean being the best example of Jack's primitive morality system

Jack being good to his own detriment is pottery with Aku being evil to his own detriment.

Why not kill comatose Jack?

What is your face, exactly?
