Aku is one of the most enigmatic villains in all of anime history. In this video, we'll be exploring the origins of Aku & his empire, and how they came to be. We'll also be delving into the character of Demongo, and how he became Aku's right-hand man.

I'm watching this and thinking how they managed to make Aku the perfect villain. He's evil but he's entertaining. He's something that I would fear yet he's a total goofball. This kept him from being boring and one note and was an emotional whiplash to deal with. It's like you walk up on him and he's on the phone fussing with customer service because his internet is out again. Then suddenly he stops to wipe out a village Jack just helped then comes back and gets back on the phone upset because he's been put on hold. He's like if Ice King was really a dangerous threat or if Doofenshmirtz didn't have Perry stopping him.

Samurai Jack has always seemed to me the definition of "cool": a cyberpunk, post-apocalyptic world ruled by a Lovecraftian being, with Jack, a warrior from thousands of years ago trained in almost all combat styles, fighting daily against killer robots that want to hunt him down.

Before the final blow was struck Aku tore open a portal in time flung him into the future where his evil was law! Now the fool seeks to return to the past....and undo the future that is AKU.

in the origins, we learn that at the beginning of the cosmos, a giant mass of sentient darkness wandered space, three deities (Odin, Ra, and Vishnu) confronted the darkness and used their combined powers to beat it, but little did they know that they had failed to completely destroy it, a small part of the darkness survived and crash landed on Earth, causing the cataclysmic event that wiped out all dinosaurs, as time passed, the darkness took root in Earth and spread out, creating a dense forest of black spikes with a black bubbling lake at the center eventually, the Emperor of Japan decided to do some thing about this evil before it destroyed his capital, he was given an elixir by the monks that was said to be able to destroy the darkness, however, when the Emperor coated his arrow with the elixir and fired it at the sun after chanting a spell, the poisoned arrow landed in the black lake, but instead of evaporating the darkness, it enhanced the sentience of the darkness and caused it to be reborn as Aku

the Emperor was then chosen by the deities to destroy Aku, and because no mortal blade could harm the force of ultimate evil that was not of the mortal world, the deities forged the Emperor a magical katana imbued with the will of the human spirit that contained the power of righteousness, this enchanted katana can only cut down "evil beings" and can never be used to harm those with justice in their hearts with this katana in hand, the Emperor defeated Aku and sealed him away for a decade, then Aku broke free and took over the Emperor's land in vengeance, so the Emperor's son, a samurai, had to go around the world to learn numerous skills before he was old enough to wield the katana in place of his father the Samurai and Aku fought and the Samurai was the mightier one, but Aku used one last trick to temporally displace him, banishing him to a dystopian future where Aku ruled supreme, the Samurai then adopted the alias "Jack", since that was what the first people he ran into called him he then continued his training as he tried to find a way to return to his own time, and along the way, he made many allies and inspired people to believe in hope and fight for their freedom

That's just objectively not true. Although he was more cruel for sure, and he's sentient, Aku is way way weaker than the black mass. Aku is definitely powerful, but the black mass is the size of planets, and it wouldve taken it maybe a day to consume earth at most, while it took Aku thousands of years to take over earth and even then he experienced continuous resistance. For whatever reason, the gods don't interfere in the affairs of Aku and Jack aside from enchanting the sword, but if they did they would've easily been able to destroy Aku. We see Ra destroy the minions of Set, and although Aku is way stronger, it is very likely Ra or any of the other gods would win in a 1v1 and destroy Aku. Compare that to the black mass, which was able to damage the gods during their 3 v 1 fight and even had a tiny chunk survive the encounter, Aku is just less dangerous or powerful.
