[[Named by Democracy|Inspired]] by some jive-talking locals to adopt the alias "Jack", the samurai now wanders the world, fighting the machinations of Aku (and other evildoers) and trying to find a way home.

* [[0% Approval Rating]]: Played straight most of the time, but subverted in that Aku seems to be aware of it, and made a rather clumsy attempt to get children to like him in the episode "Aku's Fairy Tales". The rest of the time - seeing as almost nothing can hurt him - he doesn't care. It wasn't always quite down to zero percent though, Jack's largely to blame for people thinking there could be anything besides Aku's rule.

* [[Action Girl]]: The Scotsman's wife; she ''single-handedly'' beats an army both her husband and Jack -- two of the greatest warriors ''ever'' -- had trouble fighting, and starts off said fight by ''[[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|punching a god in the gut]]''. Just because said god [[Berserk Button|called her fat]]. Did I mention that she was entirely unarmed?

* [[A Day in the Limelight]]: The Scotsman gets some focus in XLV and XLVI ("Scotsman Saves Jack"). X9 in "Tale of X9".

* [[Author Existence Failure|Actor Existence Failure:]] [[Mako|Mako Iwamatsu]] ([[Big Bad|Aku's]] [[Large Ham|Voice Actor]]), passed away in 2006, leaving [[The Movie]] in a bit of a lurch (especially since there were [[No Plans, No Prototype, No Backup|only two primary cast members in the first place]].)
