Samurai Jack Is Back!

Hmm, many of my (admittedly long-shot) guesses are already wrong.

Spoiler: -Who finds Jack in the river? Nobody at all apparently.

-The wolf IS still around, although weirdly it doesn't participate in the big battle.

-Apparently Jack doesn't have any remorse about killing all of the Daughters Of Aku after all. I really hope this gets reconciled somehow, it seems a bit needlessly grim to me. But there's definitely still time for that to plausibly happen.
BT:
So Jack's realized that Spoiler: killing is part of his path and just something he has to live with but what's it have to do with this season? It seems kind of out of place with what we've seen so far, and you're gonna have a hard time selling me the idea that Jack wasn't mature enough to know all this shit already.
commandercool:
That seems to basically be what this season is all about, right? Or at least this arc, if there are two arcs?

He came to that conclusion pretty fast, it's not like he agonized over it for months or anything. Seems like it was an overnight decision. I think what caught him up briefly the first time was the fact that he had apparently never, ever done it before and had gotten used to the idea that it just wasn't part of the deal because robots. It caught him by surprise that it was even happening, then he came to a conclusion at the next opportunity. Granted that whole plot thread is kind of meta-fiction since it's directly playing on the fact that the previous seasons were all age, but it seems to me like it makes some sense in-universe.

What this season is about? If I had to guess based on the first episode, it's about Jack rediscovering his purpose after kinda losing his way. Seems weird to have him grow as a character now, the first seasons already did that to boot and at this point Jack's gone through a lot.
Lt Streko:
I just started watching the series the other day. When my grandmother asks if I've seen the new Samurai Jack and that it's really good, I know I'm slacking. Anyways, watched all three episodes in one sitting, and I honestly love it. Still retains the same style and vibe as the original series. Yeah there's a few nitpicks here and there, but I honestly really enjoy/love it. Can't wait for the new episode this Saturday.
