Im sure someone said this but if they really are trained assassins from birth then skin tight is definitely the best option, since it cuts down on drag in miod-air, nothing someone can yank or tug in combat, and it's harder to see blood/damage accrue as the fight goes on. Even tight robes like the other priestesses wouldn't make any sense for the ones with long range chain whips and stuff, too many tassels and folds to get caught in.

I'm actually a fan of this theory. Thank you for the interesting write up!


I just caught up to the end of this thread and wanted to chime in. In regards to past discussion about Samurai Jack and putting ladies in skin-tight battle suits, I'm fairly sure being sexist or using the septuplets as eye candy wasn't the goal of the show, so I'm going to have good faith in this show until I see something more egregious or if they use the 'bitch' word. So far the Daughters of Aku are being set up as intense, fearsome, but also tragically sheltered individuals by the show itself, and it seems like the show is devoted to making them (or at least just Ashi who may be just the sole remaining assassin) interesting character(s). And that's a pretty feminist/progressive goal right there, so I'm happy so far. Feel free to quote me though if it turns out that Ashi turns into pure fanservice later on.

I'm looking forward to the next episode of Samurai Jack, because it reminds me of the time that Jack went inside a farting dragon whose farts where so bad that it was killing a town. God, I loved that episode. :allears:

No one's talked about the episode teaser much, I guess because it's so non-indicative this time. The blacklight effect on those weird swimming animals did seem familiar to various previous episodes, though they're probably just returning to it because it looks cool. (It's almost not worth noting when this show looks cool because of course it does).

Nah, Sonarr pulls by S/E names, it should be fine.

In this, the Samurai Jack thread, I will say that I wanted to watch the show, Samurai Jack, instead of the show, Rick and Morty.

I mean, I've waited almost thirteen years for new Jack, so I can wait a little more, but it's still a dick move. I am sad, and have been made sad by jokesters.

I don't know about everyone else, but every night at 10 this week, my cable lists the new Jack episode. But of course, that's when AS is replaying Rick and Morty. I admire Adult Swim for their commitment to trolling.

Guys, you're all thinking Rick and Morty and Samurai Jack are mortal enemies, but it's just the opposite: it's when they come together that we reach perfection.

Samurai Jack


editedit: Theory time. It's been so long since Jack has been away from his home, that I wonder if he had begun to lose not only his purpose to defeat Aku, but also his own identity. It must be pretty bad being in a world where there's no family or friend (besides the Scotsman) who really even knows who he is. He probably hasn't heard his real name spoken aloud in decades. I wonder if Ashi will ask him if Samurai Jack is really his real name, because she's been fed a lot of misinformation about Jack. Jack would have to think about it for a while, but he answers back with his real name. I think it'd be a neat humanizing touch if they did reveal his real name, but I understand if they don't.

No, you're both wrong, it's a reference to this online webcomic on the internet.

(Actually I couldn't think of any other name besides bob burgers because I was thinking of Teddy thinking Bob's surname was burgers)
