I'm thinking the Scotsman's ghost sees Jack with Ashi and gets all excited that Jack found himself a wife, making things awkward for a second. That's about as far as love interest I'm willing to tolerate with how little time they've had together.

It would be better of he assumes she's his daughter

Comedy option: Both options become right ala Oldboy.

Aku is Lee Woo-jin, and even though Jack beats him, Aku gets his revenge.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

It's more that he gave into his frustration and murdered innocents that lead to his soul becoming imbalanced.

Ashi doesn't know what marriage is. I wonder if she'll ask if it's some kind of food.

Actually, I respectfully disagree with you there. For as obviously flawed as this game is, there ARE a lot of really good things about it. The presentation and atmosphere, for example, are the most immediate things. No other Yu-Gi-Oh game goes out of the way to really make
Oooooh, so THAT'S how Jack always ends up getting new clothes! Every time he gets the pants beaten off of him, Vishnu, Ra, and Odin just zap him some new ones, along with his awesome hairdo!

I've got a dumb question that I never thought of until now. How does Jack know that any old time portal will send him back to the time he wants? Like I assume the initial time portal that Aku sent him to was just "Well gently caress gotta get this guy out of here. Here's a time portal. Who cares where it goes!"

At that point he was super desperate, I don't know if he realized he was unaffected by time yet but I'm sure his thoughts are he's taking the path with the most chance of getting him back. Plus I don't think there were many time portals open back in Jack's original time, so at the very least he'll be able to go back to a time where there were more time portals.

It'd be neat if we actually got to see the final battle happen after he flies through the portal. Heck, future Aku could follow him back and he could fight two of em'.

Basically, after all this it'd be nice to see Jack actually finish the job.

I doubt anyone is thinking he won't finish the job, the question is more whether he'll do it in the past, undoing the future that is Aku (and thus everything and presumably everyone we know), or if instead he'll do it in the present and preserve the future despite Aku's influence. There's also some question over whether he'll survive finishing the job, or whether in surviving he'll simply leave to enjoy the past and pass his role as protector to Ashi or not.

False enemy or true friend?
Scaramouche is gonna die almost as unceremoniously as the Scotsman, calling that

Also I'm probably super late to this but it's a drat shame the original voice actor for Aku died. I was watching some clips of the show and listening to the two and while the new dude isn't bad, it's impossibly huge shoes for him to fill. Still, the character is incredibly good so if a dude can do a vaguely Japanese accent and have a horrible mean spirited cackle, it works

The new VA, funny enough, has made his profession replacing Aku's original VA, Mako.

Scaramouche makes his way in during the final battle right as Jack is charging toward Aku, Jack stumbles over the head and impales himself, and Aku returns Scaramouche to his rightful place as top assassin. Fade to credits, which of course play over a scat cover of the theme

He did this once with the Dexter movie, kind of, so it's not entirely out of the realm of possibility.

It seems like no one entertains the idea that Jack killing Aku in the Past will simply cause a split timeline. One where Aku sends him to the future and one where he's defeated in the past.

I get a very "there is only ever one timeline" vibe from Samurai Jack. In the original show the intro actually did kind of allude to what would happen "Before the final blow was struck, I tore open a portal in time and flung him into the future, where my evil is law! Now the fool seeks to return to the past, and undo the future that is Aku!". Whether or not they will stick to it is up for grabs of course.

It's kind of interesting that this show entire premise is a retcon of sorts.
