Line 7:
* The third episode of the show - also the last third of the Compilation Movie that served as the show's pilot - cuts to its mid-episode break as Jack and the sentient dogs he's trying to free finish preparations for fighting Aku's incoming robot horde. When the break is over, the show gives us the fight between Jack and the robot horde...a fight that lasts for nearly ten minutes, features very little dialogue, and is generally one awesome moment after another for Jack.
** After Jack has single-handedly reduced an entire army of ceaseless beetle drones to a scant handful, he stares the remaining forces down while soaked in oil (their blood). Then one of these unstoppable battle robots (that probably aren't programmed to understand what retreat even MEANS) hesitates... and takes a step backwards.
*** Jack's response to the retreat? "[[Little No|No.]] '''[[Pre
* '--I wish we were free'.
* Episode XLIV: Six of the world's greatest bounty hunters end up in the same place to try and take down Jack. They all ambush him at the same time. Jack utterly defeats all of them in the time it takes a drop of water to fall from an icicle and hit the ground. One bounty hunter is still alive/conscious and draws her back-up weapon, a small knife. Jack stands motionless, with his back to her; realizing the futility of attacking Jack, she drops the knife and then drops to her knees. Jack walks on down the road, having not said a word during the entire episode.
Line 18:
** The archers get one as well in the beginning of the episode, wiping out an entire army of robots single-handedly.
** And at the end of the episode, when Jack learns what the well did to the three men who wished to become stronger, he gets ''mad''.

* Jack's inner-fight with the darkness infecting his soul at the climax of "The Aku Infection". When all seems lost and Jack is slowly being swallowed up by the evil, the voices of his mother and father remind him of his accomplishments against Aku and the friends he has made in the future, building his will until he becomes a master samurai of light within his heart and vanquishes the evil of Aku from within. It is all just pure brilliance and a [[Your Mileage May Vary|tear jerker]] for some.
* The climax of the episode "Jack and the Swamp Monster". The episode appears to be going in the same direction as "Jack and the Warrior Woman", with Jack [[Genre Blindness|oblivious]] to Aku's [[Paper
* The dramatic shift in power during the graveyard episode when Aku nearly kills Jack with his own sword. After the reveal that Jack's sword [[Empathic Weapon|won't hurt the innocent]], Jack gives a badass boast.

'''Jack''': Even I had forgotten that the sword was forged in purity and strength. It can only be used for good. In the hands of evil it could never harm an innocent! And so, Aku, it cannot harm me... but it ''can'' harm '''you!''' }}
* Jack defeats a gigantic (700 ton) sumo wrestler by tickling him. So much [[Better Than It Sounds]].
* Pretty much the whole fight in 'Jack vs. Aku', easily topped by how Jack manages to drive Aku into having a panic attack with his genius gambit. Let me repeat that: Jack manages to drive Aku into a near blind PANIC. The smug look on Jack's face and his swagger as Aku was panicking is the icing on the cake. He may not have vanquished Aku in that episode, but he most certainly overwhelmingly won that day.
* The final episode {{spoiler|feels very rushed, and is a bit bittersweet, but the sweet part mostly comes from how practically any and ALL of Jack's old allies show up to help him face off with Aku: The Scotsman and his army of daughters, the Woolies, the Archers' tribe, the Ravers, the Seafolk, the Jumping Monkeys, the dog archaeologists, the Robot city (with the giant Samurai Mecha), and even the 300 Spartans! ALL returning to fight, and the best part? Pretty much everybody gets at least a few good, well-deserved hits in on Aku. Mind you he heals from them, but they gave him a taste of their vengeance}}!
