Spoiler: I don't think the point is that he's stopped being a hero at all, more that since he lost his sword he's lost his purpose. It's not that he's ignoring people in need, it's that he's aimlessly trying to save everyone when he should be focusing his efforts on the problem, not the symptoms. He's worried about damage control in the future and has lost track of the fact that he was supposed to be saving the past. At least that was the strong takeaway I got. How does that fit with him ignoring the smoke from that city for a while then? I'm not really sure. Maybe he knows that if he's seeing the smoke then wherever it's coming from has already been razed and there's nothing more he can do there, so getting distracted would take his attention away from people he can still help. But the opening scene seems to have pretty strongly established that he is still presumably constantly being a hero, probably to a fault. |

So much time has passed since I heard "Samurai Jack"... and now that they are airing it again, I can't stand the urges to re-watch it all over again for the nostalgia! This are great news! |

Okay, the second episode is out. Spoiler: Aku is in it a bunch at the beginning, and my guess that he's basically out of the game is confirmed. His new voice actor unfortunately doesn't work for me AT ALL and I found his whole segment to be really slow. Once we got back to Jack though, the episode was absolutely incredible. I was literally on the edge of my seat for the entire rest of the episode. It went in all the directions I wanted it to, it was super exciting, and I really have no idea where the plot is going. I am super on board. |

Here's what I think will happen next, in broad strokes: Spoiler: * Jack meets the white wolf and they travel together * Jack kills / eliminates the seven masked ladies one by one as the episodes go by (one down already) * Aku will show up sometime to realize Jack's fears. Wonder if he'll get his sword back by the end of the season or he'll make do without it (?!) |

Well here's my tentative prediction then. Spoiler: -The wolf is dead and we won't see it again. I think it was just a one-time thematic device. -Whoever finds Jack in the river will recognize who he is and he'll wake up looking like old Jack because that's what they expect him to be. They'll have given him a haircut and a new outfit and this will cause him some angst, but it will get him on the track of trying to become like he used to be. -It will take the daughters of Aku a while to catch back up to Jack, but when they do he'll refuse to fight them. He'll try to run at first but they'll corner him and he'll basically give up. The one that we saw a lot in the first episode will have a change of heart and will fight off the rest of them to save him, then join him. -Aku and Jack will reciprocally kill each other. Both of them will go into their final confrontation expecting and hoping to die, and both of them will. Aku will give Jack his sword back. Jack's new ally/protege will be left to pick up the pieces and either become the new Aku or become the new Jack. It's not even necessarily that I expect any of that to happen, partly I'm just being contrary and throwing out long-shot scenarios. But I certainly wouldn't be surprised by any of it. |
