Alongside Dragon Ball Super, I am going to be making a weekly discussion thread as well for the revival of Samurai Jack and it's final and fifth season.

Anyone who knows me for a decent amount on this site knows that I am a passionate Samurai Jack fan, and love the fact that the series has been brought back after an 11 year hiatus.

Previews gave us a look at the new set of villains, but the extra robot opponent was a interesting character to begin the season.

Aku's voice was noticeably different, but sounded like a decent mimicking of Mako's voice in the short lines he had.

Is his anti-aging simply a byproduct of being sent back in time? Whats up with episode number XCll (92)? Typo?

Aku's new voice actor is Greg Baldwin, who was an apprentice voice actor to Mako before he passed away. In his some sense, he is picking the pieces and taking over his master's work, similar as to what he did for General Iroh in Avatar.

You are correct, he is unable to age due to being swung into a timeline that is not his own, it is a side-effect that neither Jack or Aku anticipated.

I wonder, is there a legal way of watching it if I don't have it on TV and iTunes?

Anyways, will watch once I get home since my internet connection at work is limited.

Adult Swim is streaming the premiere on their own site right now in celebration of the series return.

Yeah but I most likely won't catch it due to work and timezones.

Maybe they'll put it up later. Though sometimes they put regional restrictions on stuff.

WATCHA

My childhood finally comes to a close with the beginning of the final act of samurai Jack. I've been waiting years I tell you! So great first episode, really sets a time that they couldn't do back on cartoon network, despair in Jack's mind and some blood from skis daughters stabbing someone in the eye. I look forward to where this is good mg in future episodes

Ended up watching it on YouTube. Oh well.

Anyway, pretty cool start. I wonder if the daughters are going to be all distinct or just the named one.

Edit: just realized it was the first time I saw it without the dub. Also, the dub was actually pretty good.

A dark cult raising children from their birth as assassins, constantly beating them up under the threat of death? Demonic illusions of people burning and drowning?

That is really not the same show I watched as a child...

...but oh, how I still love it so.
