52** [[spoiler:Finish that bottle after you see [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Jack finally defeat and kill Aku in the past]].]]
53*** Get a hard scotch and drink it down nice and slow, when [[BittersweetEnding the ending]] rolls around. It will ''hurt''.

57[[AC:Bonus Games]]
58* '''Hardcore Edition:''' After you've watched Season 5 from start to finish, rewatch it from the start. Take a drink every time anything involving Ashi is cast in a new light due to the revelations in later episodes. Ex; when she screams that "Aku is the father of all fathers" or how Jack tells her he doesn't want to become just a memory. Note: it's best to start this game with a clean slate.
59* '''Ultimate Edition:''' Go back and watch the series from start to finish and take a drink every time you notice the animation style goes through subtle changes and [[ArtEvolution evolutions]], such as the frequently {{off model}} nature of Jack and Aku in the pilot three-parter compared to Season 1, Season 1's more {{limited animation}} and continuing off-model tendencies compared to the higher budget Seasons 2-4, and especially how different Season 5 stylistically looks to Seasons 1 through 4 due to [[TechnologyMarchesOn major advances in digital animation technology between 2004 and 2017]].
60* '''Meta:''' Drink every time you go on Website/YouTube videos of Music/DeanMartin's "Everybody Loves Somebody" and you see comments related to this show. Have an ambulance on standby.
