So the bagpipes are magical, too? Niiiiiice~

(Read that in Joseph Joestar's voice for maximum effect.)

[up] And with it, Ashi is now (fully) She-Venom.

It is here that Aku realized: He fucked up.

But won't this create a time paradox?

As far as Jack's concerned, or Ashi?

Ashi was the time machine. If Jack prevents her conception, how can he get back to prevent her conception?

He made it back. Back to the past Samurai Jack!

Also, I get my wish!

Yep, I'm still here.

Jack and Ashi are Simon and Nia confirmed. sad

And wait, does this mean that the Bad Future still exists a la Ocarina of Time or has it been completely wiped out?

Ashi, no. sad

I expect this ending to be controversial.

As I pointed out: how can Jack even be back in his time without Ashi?

That was certainly bittersweet. Jack achieved his goal, and dunked on Aku proper. But no more Ashi. And there's all the people he helped. They may not exist, or they will, but in a Good Future.

Also would Jack still be ageless? Or did going back in time reverse that little "bonus"?

Um ... didn't Jack just undo the existences of way more people than Aku has ever killed throughout history?

This is the flaw inherent in time travel narratives. Because of the Butterfly Effect, if you go back and change the past, all of existence has to be reset to accommodate the new reality you've created.

That's right, boys. Mondo cool.

@ Beary: Oh, I wholly expect it to be controversial. Cue endless debates on, much like Nia, if Ashi living would've been too cliched or if her death is poignant and makes the ending quote-unquote "deep" and "mature."

That was a nice recap of the series, by the way.

@ Lennik: Like I said above, depends on if alternate timelines are treated like DBZ and OoT.

I... I honestly didn't expect him to get back to the past.

Well. Wow. Dang.

Whatever anyone else says about this ending, that final shot of the sun rising on the cherry grove is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in a cartoon.

I'd like to be the first man on the moon.

I'm going to assume that returning him to his time returned the normal flow of time to him.

Well, this way, people don't have to suffer Aku's rule. But then I realize things like how Jack and the Scotsman's meeting has been wiped from history.

Do not obey in advance.
