The fact that Aku can posses her works fine.

Its not really Drama.

Yeah, but the actual story dynamic, of Jack forced to fight his love interest who can't control her actions, just suuuuuuucks though.

Aku you stole the sword before already, it didn't work out well for you.

It did not work because he tried to stab him with it. Now he knows better.

Like I said before I actually think the romance angle is pretty neat but then they immediately used it as an opportunity to make ashi nothing more than some new way to attack jack and rob her of any character in the most loving comprehensive way they could, that's just dogshit

Yeah, the way she's ended up being used is so cliche and rote I thought I was watching "film student's first action/romance draft attempt".

This would have needed way more development of the relationship between those two characters and of Ashi in general for me to even get close to buying any of what they were trying to pull there.

Pretty sure this whole thing is Genndy's vision, judging by credits:

I feel like this Ashi thing wouldn't nearly be as bad (or as badly recieved) if these last 10 episodes had perhaps been, like, an entire 4-season series like the original episodes were

like, stretch these 10 over the time frame of the original series

like at minimum put some distance between the romance and jack meeting an ashi who is, mentally, a tantrum-prone toddler.

or just not go the romance route to begin with. they were working fine as teacher/student or father/daughter, and both of those options lend more weight to this confrontation than the loving romance did

I mean, it was pretty clear this was coming when Scaramouche hadn't told Aku about the sword yet and Jack and Ashi hooked up before that bomb was dropped.

Still pretty lame, though.

You know what did it better? Fire Emblem Awakening, if you make Chrom your Avatar's husbando and thus Lucina gets to be torn about having to go back in time to kill her mom to stop the Dead Dark Dragon God of Evil from taking her over and genociding everyone.

And that game's plot sucked otherwise.
