Storyline

It's been 50 years since we last saw Samurai Jack and time has not been kind to him. Aku has destroyed every time portal and Jack has stopped aging, a side effect of time travel. It seems he is cursed to just roam the land for all eternity. His past haunts him as well as a cult of assasins dedicated to killing him for Aku's glory.

Scaramouch: Samurai Jack! Man, it is good to see you, babe. What took you so long? I decimated this village days ago, just for you. Oh wait, this is you, right? I mean who could recognize you with all that gear, and ruggedness, baby? I'll tell you who: Me! Be-bee-ba-boo-bo-da... Scaramouche the Merciless! The Pied-Piper of Ruination, the Crooner of Carnage, the Ambassador of Annihilation, the Eradicator of All, baby! Also known as... Aku's most favorite assassin, babe.

Jack is still as charming as he was during his youth

You have no idea how much I wanted to see this!! Even though I don't watch TV as much as I used to, this episode made me go back to watching TV. Samurai Jack is back and looks better than ever!

This episode does take a more serious tone unlike the other episodes. Yes, there have been serious episodes in the past but not like this. Jack is still struggling with the past and fighting to save his loved ones! There was one thing missing though. Where is the humor?! Oh wait, the first bad guy he fought was a laughable character but in a good way though.

Humor - Check Action - Check Storyline - Check Emotional Depth - Check

I NEED MORE SAMURAI JACK!!!!
