I have not laughed so hard at a Samurai Jack episode since The Scotsman showed up. The snark, wit, and deadpan all coming out of Jack was hilarious. Phil was nailing those lines left and right.
And that ending, while shocking to NO ONE, was pretty crushing. Imagine what's going through poor Ashi's head now as she curls up on a small island with a man she has been raised to hate. Her entire life is a lie. Everything that she's been told to believe is false. Her sisters all died believing it, and her mother and clan will no doubt kill her if she ever comes back to confront them over this. The poor girl is now literally alone in the world in the worst possible way.
Yes, of course Jack is going to help her overcome in, but still. That sight of her dropping the weapon and then curling up to likely cry was touching.
Also, judging by the preview, it's nice to see that there are still other people fight back against Aku, even after all these centuries. Yes, they're going to get slaughtered, but I like that idea that good still rises to challenge evil, even when there is no hope.
