Easily one of the greatest villains of all time. Aku was funny when he needed to be but when he needed to be threatening, there was zero humor. Aku was also one of those villains who did not hesitate to kill the hero, as shown in my favorite episode, Jack and the Zombies; when Aku had Jack pinned, there was no monologue, no convoluted way for Jack to escape, just a twisted smile and the killing blow. Easily the best cartoon villain ever, even greater than Bill Cypher.

"Long ago in a distant land, Aku, the shape-shifting master of Darkness, unleashed an unspeakable evil, until the noble Samurai warrior, later named Jack, wielding the magic sword, forged by the Gods, Ra, Odin, and Vishnu eons ago, stepped forth to oppose him. But before the final blow was struck, Aku tore open a portal in time and decietfully flung him to the future, where his evil was Law. For years, he had traveled the strange lands alone, searching for a new home, helping those who needed him along the way. No matter how much Aku tried burdening him in Despair, Jack never loses hope, and he knew that he would find his way home, and seeks to return to the past, and undo the evil that is Aku, and release it from Aku's evil grip."

😂 The "Put that thing away Samurai..." scene from 9:20 😭😂 followed by the "...Coulda, Shoulda, Woulda..." scene at 10:15... Aku had such an epic sense of sarcastic humour, and quotable gems; he'd be a mean meme-machine in the current age...

I like to think that even tho Aku hates Jack and wants to kill him, strangely he is truly the closest thing he has to an actual friend.

@ahmettetik8221 Жыл бұрын

Existence of Jack gives Aku's life a meaning and a purpose. Samurai Jack was the only worthy opponent Aku met. He even got depressed in season 5 when Jack were lost.

7:04 is classic. Aku had his greatest enemy at his mercy at long last, after so many years, and he couldn't figure out the best way to kill Jack. Understandable too because when you have a nemesis who has been able to live through just about anything and everything you throw at them for years, when they are finally at your mercy and the ultimate victory is in your grasp, you want to end them in just the most special way possible.
