So what happens to the other Jack who was sent to the Akuless future?

...

Alternate timelines and bullshit

right, but now he's wondering around a good future?

>Finds Guardian
>Gets ass kicked
>Spends years training and building his reputation
>King Jack
>Challenges Guardian again
>Wins
>Goes back to the past
>Kino

The reboot will be about his adventures in this new timeline, which focus on how a lowly samurai warrior became the king of the universe.

Hi guys I missed the thread and can't find it in the archive is it this one?

I guess he gets to be immortal in the future that other Jack makes. If emperor Jack is still immortal, I guess we get two of them in the future.

so two Jacks?

Time loop/split shanigans.
The perception of time is fucked up and confusing. How time flows, is likely more so

>Goes back to another timeline where Jack just got sent to the future
>Kills Aku
>New Akuless-Future Jack does the same thing King Jack did
>This goes on forever
>Samurai Jack is forever
>Genndy's bank account is infinite

The "other Jack" and the Jack we know are one in the same.
From the universe's perspective, Aku only threw Jack a few seconds into the future.
That's why he hasn't aged.

My guess is that Jack is immortal and has made a time loop. Aku's future DID happen, but it also ended the moment Jack went back and won as he is the only thing that continues to exist from that timeline.

Just think of Jack's timeline as a loop-de-loop on a rollercoaster.

Solving the Time Issue:

> Ashi realized she couldn't exist in the past, fades away
>Jack will eventually forget everything when he realized he shouldn't remember anything

The latter is emphasized heavily with the "foggy woodlands" and "letting go of the lady bug."

The foggy woods is a visual trope that represents loss and confusion. Mixed memories. Etc.

The Lady Bug represents his memories of Ashi, leaving him. He is relieved to be at peace and forget, hence the smile.

Once her memories leave him, the Lady Bug, the world brightens up and the fog is gone.

>Jack remembers nothing now as causality seals the loop

That was the only Jack. Those 50 years were only 10 seconds in the past.

Diverging timelines

in short

Jack's timeline is a split that will always happen and the more time that goes by the further things split until they are seperated enough that Ashi's existence becomes an impossibility so she is removed.

However the original timeline also exists and Jack will always move to the split timeline, Ashi will always die and the original future will always be Aku's

The two jacks merge in the timeway back to the past?

However our Jack never showed signs of remembering a goodly future where he trained for a lifetime to win a return trip back to the past from the Guardian.

The warping of jack in the original first episode is him merging the paradox with his future self returning through time

How would we know the perception of time for a fucking housefly?

I call shenanigans.

Reaction times

Just because a fly has better reaction time doesn't mean its perception of time is that number in relation to our perception of time.

He was sent BEFORE Aku was slain, so it's a stable timeloop for Jack.

He's in future with good writing.

>other Jack gets sent into the future where there is no Aku
>ends up in modern society circa 1990's
>travels to the swamp location where Aku was recreated by his father
>finds a black substance, believes it has some connection to Aku's essence
>becomes a scientist to research the material, calls it Chemical X
>instead of being called Jack, he calls himself Professor Utonium

Yes it is. It's literally the measure of how fast the organism notices danger, processes it, and then sends the appropriate signals to the right body parts

It was the same Jack. Just in the present, his time of being gone only appeared to be 10 seconds.

The concept of time paradoxes rely on a flawed narrative of the understanding of self and atoms. Were the grandfather paradox real, time travel would involve millions of these errors due to atomic transmission and translation. How can an atom that is your tongue taste an apple that may have been destined for another mouth if that apple contained atoms destined to bind cells of your tongue? If time travel to the past is possible than all paradoxes are accepted. Time is not the atomic molecules within but a flow of force that motivates atoms to decay, and have no concern for their defiance of that force for a time, as the force remains.

Your future is erased as you know it but as the force flows most will remain the same including your constant of travel. It doesn't have to make sense to you, time has been running along fine without regards for those incapable of acting on it, why would it care now?

He wants to get back to the past and ends up swapping places with the original Jack who ends up wanting to get back to the future where he'd encounter a new Ashi that wasn't half Aku and didn't know nor care about Jack.

Do add to that stoners end up with their nerves coated with bong juice which slows down the conduction velocity of the signals in their nerves

Ask anyone that has spent a night as high as a kite and they'll tell you that everything moves so fast around them

This.
