For thousands of years, I laid dormant. WHO HAS DISTURBED MY...

[DarklordKyo]

I have the strangest feeling this is a reference to something, but I don't know what. Anyone know what it references?, if anything (other than, maybe, an extremely loose nod to the Cave of Wonders).

 

[Saelune]

I think its more of a general 'ancient slumbering power' trope joke really.


Edit: Slumber is a weird word...slumber...slumberrrrrr, slummmmmmburrrrrrrrrrr....

Thats what I thought to, more making fun a trope than referencing something.

 

[Aerosteam]

That's my guess.

Here's my pick

 

[FalloutJack]

I was thinking more along the lines of Aku, or possibly Mumm-Ra.

 

[Grouchy Imp_v1legacy]

Possibly a nod to Cthulhu, but to be fair so many fantasy realms have ancient slumbering critters of immense power it's hard to be sure.

 

[Chimpzy_v1legacy]

I was thinking more along the lines of Aku.

Dammit, now I can't read that line anymore without hearing it in Mako's voice in my head.

'S good tho. Totally not mad about it.

Mumm-Ra maybe, Aku, though, was originally sealed by Jack's father, yes?

 

[The Rogue Wolf]

Aku, though, was originally sealed by Jack's father, yes?

As I remember it, Aku appeared when Jack was a boy and defeated his father in combat; Jack then wandered the Earth to learn as much of the ways of war as he could and came back to fight Aku as a man.

 

[Worgen]

Here's my pick

This is a better version.

 

[Asita]

Honestly, I don't think it was referencing anything more specific than "awakening a long slumbering evil".

True, but there was a later set of episodes that acts as an origin story for both Aku & Jack's sword:

And this is how he works in the actual game.
