Samurai Jack/WMG: Difference between revisions

Line 41:

== Jack can't return home until he's defeated Aku in the future. ==

If he returns to the past and defeats Aku there, the future will likely still exist as an alternate timeline, to be tormented by Aku for eternity. Jack will not be allowed to travel back until he destroys Aku in this time too, to give hope to the future as well as the past.

* Alternatively, Jack will only be allowed to return home once Aku is dead simply because Aku won't stop finding new ways to [[Yank the ~~Dogs~~ Chain|screw Jack out of reaching a working portal]] until one of them dies.

* Alter-alternatively, by Jack killing Aku in the future, he will have no problems defeating Aku in the past, as Aku's powers and influence seem to have gotten stronger over time. In other words, Jack killing Future Aku means he'll defeat a ''stronger'' opponent than Past Aku, thus Past Aku won't be as hard as a fight as his Future self - basically, Aku will, himself, have accidentally given Jack the training he needs to beat him in the past. Yeah, [[Mind Screw]] I know.

** Not so far fetched. DBZ's Future Trunks did the exact same thing. By the time the Cell Saga was done, he had enough power in his own time to effortlessly dispatch Androids 17, 18 and Pre-Transformation Cell. Jack will know all of Aku's best tricks before he does. Maybe the sword was forged with a mental suggestion that Aku send his foe fwd, and the slashing transmitted the suggestion. Odin and his homies know how to play Aku.

Line 58:

The entire series is a series of stories told by the parents of the children in Aku's future to give them hope. Jack never existed, and Aku rules unchallenged forever.

* A grim but very interesting idea which would make Jack kind of a religious figure.

* Explains how Aku is a [[Card Carrying Villain]], too: If [[Everybody Is Jesus in Purgatory|Jack is a Jesus figure in Purgatory]], that makes Aku a Satan figure. Odds are that we're only seeing one side of the story, and [[The Rashomon|a version]] ''[[The Rashomon|actually]]'' [[The Rashomon|told by Aku paints Jack as a]] [[Well Intentioned Extremist]] at best.

Line 121:

== Jack's father actually made things better instead of worse ==

Alright, Jack's father is the one who gave Aku sentience and a physical form, yes. But while this may seem like a [[Nice Job Breaking It Hero]], it may have actually changed the situation for the better. Think about it, the formless evil that became Aku was slowly spreading out from where it landed, consuming all in its path, possibly consuming the entire planet if given enough time. By giving Aku a physical form, it changed Aku's intent from destruction of everything to conquest. Yes, the world under Aku's rule sucks, but at least it can support life and people, and animals, have somewhat adapted to it. Along with that, Aku's new form is fightable, dangerous and powerful, but something that can be outwitted and fought instead of simply destroying everything in its path. So despite apparently worsening the situation, Jack's father may have in fact improved it.

== Aku's humanoid form is simply a type b [[Shapeshifter Default Form]] ==

He remains in it because its easier and he can maintain control. His true form has a drawl back that makes it not a good idea (like losing the sentience he obtained from Jack's father's arrow) and he's saving it for a [[One Winged Angel]] transformation in the final battle (if we ever see it).

== Ikra is not another personification of Aku, she is Aku's daughter ==

She is Jack's oppisite, not unlike Ying and Yang. She is both good and evil, she got the evil from her father and the good from her mother. In fact, Jack has to turn her against her father in order to finally defeat Aku. She may even be Jack's soulmate.
