Samuri Jack Finale spoilers

I've seen the episode.
Read at your own risk.

Pretty much everyone from the flashback episode returns, even the ravers
Jack is held prisoner at Aku's amusement. He is freed by the Scotsman
Aku is defeated but once again announces that he can not be deatroyed and will return at the next eclipse
Aku's defeat causes Ashi to slowly wither away. She uses her last breat to create a time portal. Yes, Jack goes back to the past. People claiming that he wouldn't and that it's just metaphorical have no fucking idea what they're talking about
The episode ends with an older Jack telling his future child of the story of Aku's defeat via the opening monologue used in seasons 1-4

How in the hell is that dog still alive?

How much of a sienfield-esq finale is it? I'm worried about them trying to cram in as many old references in the final showdown as possible.

If true...THEN WHAT THE FUCK WAS THE POINT

wow, i was prepared to be disappointed, but not this bad.
fuck this

Does the forest midget from the flashback episode return?

I'm gonna laugh so hard if this is true. It renders so much shit pointless, including the entirety of season 5

>I'm worried about them trying to cram in as many old references in the final showdown as possible.
it sounds like the final showdown barely occurs

>No Jashi
I'd be mad

I feel like it should have been 15 episodes.

>I've seen the episode.
>Read at your own risk.
Yeah sure, I believe you

I am genndy and its all wrong:
Real ending coming through

>"I can't be defeated! I'll be back next eclipse!"

Then how defeated in any time?

>Yes. Briefly. No demongo tho.

Is it revealed who she is?

How did you see the episode early?

A lot of people that work in CN saw it today. That's how so many leak pics and details got posted throughout tge day even before this thread.

So if this is all true then whats the point of Demongo returning?

Do we get no explanation at all for his return?

So, what, no we're mad that Jack is going to the past?

Demongo was just a funny reference in the nostalgia episode

It was a joke user.

>OP banned for not spoiler texting spoilers
Fucking kek.
Mods are Gods.

I hate leaks anyway. They ruin the fun.

>nine episodes of making us care for the Ashi character just to kill her off

Even after there was only one full episode of Jashi being confirmed? This can't be true. Though it does kind of make sense as this is the only way for Jack to get a portal.

Not happy about that.
not one bit.

leaked pics were always posted close to the weekend (except for last week) and those are the exact ones that got posted.

op didn't see shit.

We held a poll yesterday. Literally almost everyone wants him to get back. It's just a few contrarian faggots that didnt

Why would Aku's defeat cause Ashi to die? He's her father but they are still separate beings.

>tfw the fucking ravers got more screentime than the scottsman.

I'm glad its fucking over.

Ashi is strictly season 5 material. The show as a whole is more important. Keep in mind that the only reason Ashi exists is because they got the rights to use adult swim and thus went for a more mature and longer plot. The original final season was just going to be a bunch of one-off episodes with a final battle against aku.

Magic

>he doesn't know

I knew the second he showed up it was just a joke, user. It seemed obvious

Meme magic just like out the Scotsman is "alive". Genndy just making this up as he goes now.

This is fine.
I'm not sure what people were expecting, but given that they only have 22 minutes, this is fine.

Good to know Jack is still alive and with a son as well.
I didn't read all of it but I've seen all the leaked pics.

>Jack needs to get back to the past
>Jack spends 6 episodes turning Ashi from evil to good
>Ashi sends Jack back to the past
>"season 5 is pointless"
Nah. You're just being contrarian.

She's partly made of Aku's substance, isn't she? There are no established physics on how pure evil substance works anyways, so I guess it's up to Genndy to determine whether Ashi can survive the death of Aku or not.

Is this the CN user who talked about Teen Titans Go ratings and stuff a while back?

Hard to say because it looks like the mods banned him like 5 minutes ago

If Ashi dies because of Aku being defeated, then Ashi will return in the next eclipse with Aku.

Going off of this, we don't even know what Aku is. He's basically a big evil tree

Wasnt this literally an anons theory in the spoiler thread

Bretty good ending but this season felt rushed and sloppy. Four seasons of wandering samurai then trying to cram all that lore with new characters and trying to finish the story in a single arc format which was never done before in this show with only 10 episodes was not a wise choice. I don't even think 13 episodes would fare much better.

Speak for yourself. Season 5 was dope

Agreed. We could nitpick until the cows come home but at the end of the day it was still one of the best seasons in western animation iv'e ever seen

The pics are real, but your ending is not.
Nice try, pastfag

whats the truth then?

Sounds pretty good desu

He doesn't know the truth, he's just getting triggered that OP is getting attention, regardless of whether he's legit or not.

He has no idea. Grabted OP might be lyong emtoo, but at least he's not butthurt about someone else getting YOUs like that guy is. Best to ignore him.

The pics were leaked this morning by the kametsu site. An app auto generates the leaks which are used for a preview of the episode or something.

The picture of the bridge in the leaks made me think that he does get back to the past because it looks Japanese. So yeah.

People have been speculating all week that Ashi can create time portals, yeah.

And why the hell should I believe this is true?

Yeah, season 5 was amazing. Although we all know this final is going to be roughly 25 mins. I think it should be an hour long. So it really goes out with a bang.

I disagree.

Based on the leaks it's highly likely he gets back to the past now. You can tell because the shitpostong about hoe he's not getting back suddenly came to a screaching halt today wehn the pics leaked

You shouldn't. The OP is a pastfag that put put his headcanons as a spoiler so people will believe him

The truth is: wait until 11:00 PM EST tomorrow .

>I've seen the episode.
Proof or it didn't happen.

You shouldn't, but you also shouldn't get triggered by it. Either speculate or move on.
Posting about "hrrr i don't believe you" is not constructive

Jack's not getting back to the past. The purpose of Ashi and Jack's friends to to show Jack there is still hope in Aku's future.

This.
I even know a past denier irl that basically gave up on that theory and admitted he's probably going back after the pics leaked.

The leaks pics don't even confirm anything to be honest.

>establish that Jack has had a positive influence on the future/present and even if he can't go back, he has a chance for happiness in the here and now
>send him back anyway
>we apparently don't see his second fight with Aku
>Aku isn't even defeated for real

I'm disappointed.

He's a void of pure cosmic evil.

Nah, fuck Ashi. The whole point is to kill Aku and get back to the past.

Either Ashifags are getting BTFO or Pastfags are getting BTFO. It's highly unlikely both will get what they want.

One thing is for sure: Akufags are going to be BTFO either way. And that's all I care about.

It's fake user. The leaks were autogenerated for an app or something (leaked by a guy on kametsu) and leaks usually show only the first quarter to the first half of an episode.

This. No way this leak isn't bogus.

Bridge pic looks like Japan

The final fight with Aku is going to be a fucking dissapointment. We waited years for this shit.

Damn you, monkey paw!

Seems legitinate based on the pics we got. Even if OP was making it up, it's likely that at least 75% of that happens.

Pastfags will BTFO after tomorrow's episode.
>All time portals were destroyed including the Guardian's
>Guardian's prophecy was retconned
>In Episode 9, Jack accepts the only way he will see the past again is as a memory
>Ashi reminds him they can defeat Aku together and all their choices brought them there
>Genndy said "Back to the Past" was always metaphorical
>The point of Ashi and all of Jack's friends to to show Jack there is still a bright future for the world and they help him live in the new post-Aku future

>retconned
Bad Writing 101

That's entirely possible, but it's pretty bad writing just for the sake of being "smart".

It basically says fuck it to the first 4 seasons in favor of an OC narrative made up for the 5th season.

The bridge leak was a background art by Scott Wills. It was one of the various backgrounds he showcased on his site. It was the only background not used yet. It could be just that; A custom background. But the tree looks like the one seen in Episode 5, just the forest is now grown over showing the world can heal itself over time after Aku

thats so fucking stupid
jashi a shit
a shit

I hope it is. I don't even mind the idea that Jack gets to go back, but it happening now would go against what the season has been establishing.

Of course it's stupid, but it is possible.

This.
OP's ending will be such a horrible ending

It was retconned because it didn't fit in-line with Genndy's current ending and when they made the episode, Genndy didn't really have an ending in mind until a few years after the show. The episode was added for fans to speculate since Samurai Jack originally wasn't given an ending or there wasn't time for it.

Could be worse.
Could be Jack and Ashi living together in the future becsuse of a plot thread that was made up just... just because.

Just like Scaramouche dying becsuse his character's role is over

Youre missing the point. Retconning is just bad writong plain snd simple.

Genndy basically wrote himself into a corner with The Guardian, so Genndy literally wrote himself out of that corner. Genndy never said The Guardian would appear, just his situation would be addressed which it was in Episode 9.

>but it happening now would go against what the season has been establishing.
no it wouldn't

I don't even disagree with you, but any retcon is a bad retcon. It really demonstrates bad oversight

We have known Genndy is a hack for a while now

>Could be worse.
Yea, but it's still fucking terrible. So much shit rendered pointless.

Yes it would. Nobody thought Jack would make it back to the past, there's only been a spike of "I told you so's" because of a picture of a bridge.

Season 5 is not pointless regardless of the ending. So i'm not sure what you're getting at.

Going back to the past would make all of Samurai Jack pointless. All of the future, friends, Ashi, Scotsman, everyone Jack has met would be erased from existence.

>Nobody thought Jack would make it back to the past
Notveverybody NEEDS him to, but most have expected him to

>Going back to the past would make all of Samurai Jack pointless
Um, no

he still has the memories
also its not pointless
he would save them all

Scaramouche was a shit character anyway

>he would save them all
Wouldn't the entire cast not exist

you take that back

>Going back to the past would make all of Samurai Jack pointless
Given that most of the series is episodic and that's the whole point of the series, no. You're wrong.
For every life Jack made better, Aku enslaved and killed Millions more. That's the whole point of "Aku's grasp chokes the PAST, PRESENT, and FUTURE"

>Retconning is just bad writing

What was even retconned anyways. The portal showed the guardian a possible future. Aku interfered and that future is gone. The past affecting the future is not a retcon, it's pretty much the opposite.

Of course they would still exist. They would grow up and be born into a time where Aku didnt reign. Their entire lives will be better off.

No, Season 5 is a five hour version of the Samurai Jack movie Genndy had intended to make all those years ago, but reworked to take advantage of the freedom producing a show for Adult Swim offered the concept.

>Oh! So angry! Be careful pastfags, too much stress will give you a heart attack!
