Jack was presumably fighting something in that scene where he lost his sword. If the hallucinatory figure isn't 'potential remorseless-monster Jack', it might be a representation of whatever he's scared to face to go get his sword back. Both scenes had a green tint to them.

Or, hell, it might be both. Jack physically fought a future Jack and lost the sword to the only person capable of disarming him: himself. That would be extra-painful for him, because he'd be tortured by the uncertainty of how to avoid that path.

Weird idea: tie some of the drama into Jack's real name. Either reveal that he's been fighting so long that he can't remember what his original name was, or end the show with him back in the past and his family calling him by his real name or something.

What was the episode which opened with Jack fighitng some aliens on flying bug robot things? He saved some, like, chipmunk looking aliens in like five minutes, then walked away and the rest of the episode happened. I was assuming the cloaked creature was one of those chipmunk aliens.

I don't think that was the Arabian-theme episode mentioned above.

Basically, it depends on if this series considers a change to the timeline to be a fork, a split into multiple timelines, or an alteration, one timeline that is actually overwritten.

If it's the former, you have two timelines, one where Jack never comes back (and the future Is Aku) where ideally you have Ashi continuing the fight against Aku, and one where Jack does come back and he defeats Aku, saving his elderly parents (and presumably this is 'our' timeline)

If it's the latter, the 'best' way to do things is to handwave it and say that, people like the Scotsman and Ashi would still have been born, but just would have lived different, hopefully happier lives. Hell, they might even live in the real-life 'present', considering we don't know the exact timeframe the 'future' happens in.

I mean, he's probably just making a joke about both characters having the same voice actor, right?

Ah, I didn't know that. Changes the context a bit.
