That felt like seven Jasons vs 1 horror movie protagonist.

The green horse dude is the judge of hell (like Yama/Enma of Buddhist mythology) and Jacks afraid of what happens if he eats the bullet.

Why is Aku also going insane, he's a piece of cosmic evil that killed the dinos , spent millions of years as a evil goo lake in Japan, then spent a few hundred(thousand?) years waiting for Jack to appear.

Up until the Samurai came back he had nothing to fear and nothing to achieve. He stood at the peak. Jack changed that.

He has spent 50 years waiting for Jack to Kill him, or for someone to Kill Jack. It is his life now, and the wait has driven him a bit mad.

There's also some comedic irony in the evil villain getting professional help while the hero slowly goes mad, like a reverse Joker-Batman relationship.

Is it really professional help when he is the person he is talking to? Its just another flavor of crazy.

Samurai Jack's premiere got 1,552,000 viewers and a 0.8 18-49 rating, making it the second highest watched show of the night next to a college basketball game, and beating several other college basketball games including the PAC 12 game that ran right up against it.

And his mental double is trying to calm him down, while Jack's is trying to goad him into suicidal despair.

Yeah I'm convinced this group is a credible threat to Jack. It'd be kind of messed up if Jack kills them in increasingly raw and brutal ways in his descent to madness.

Something tells me that the area Jack is waiting for the assassins in is booby-trapped to the gills.

It will be vicious.
