My favorite thing about Samurai Jack is that from start to finish, Genndy Tartakovsky told the story HE wanted to tell for his creation. His words in an interview when asked about the division between fans about the ending are perfection. "The tale of Samurai Jack is and always was a tragedy. His story is not about happiness, but sacrifice and duty."

This is what happens when creators are fully aware that people who were watching the show are no longer kids, so they can make it much darker and complex. It was nice farewell that the show and the characters we grew up on deserved.

There's more to it really. According to the manga which never aired, Jack truly found a new perspective for life after all of this. He commited himself into a life of studies and knowledge for the greater good and eventually even became a tutor and a teacher. Having grown through all the hardships and after deciding to take on a different life, he even wondered how Aku created his seven daughters and even tried to do the same for himself by the simplest of methods because he just could not let go of Ashi. Using Sugar, Spice and Everything Nice, he planned on creating the perfect little girls...

This was one of the best cartoons I have ever watched. The last season was a gift from the creators to the fans. A very valuable gift.

Watching this show as a young boy. Alone in my own world. Honestly changed me. Made me value true friendship and pure actions. When i watched the final episode I wept like a little boy again. But stood tall, knowing that all was made better after all the pain. Gave me hope. Shaped me.

This animation series is a prime example of art and effective storytelling making an impact on a generation of young men. Robots and magic aside, the message and the character of Jack taught honour, courage, self-mastery and the spirit of never giving up.

I love bitter sweet endings, nothing says REALITY as much as this. Honor to those who made it.

The best cartoon I watched as a kid and one of the best I watched as an adult. I still remember how excited I was during the episode where Jack fights the three archers in tower.

Pretty well written story, I’m glad the show had more adult content in the last season

90s kid can truly understand that feeling😢 What a era for us.

I remembered when the final season came out, I was soooo stoked. And then incredibly crushed how is ended. Jack went through so much, but handled it all as a true Samurai. Best Canadian anime ever made.

I never knew how Jack's story ended. This video rekindled my childhood memories of watching Samurai Jack. Great show & great video by the way 👍🏽

I loved that it finally got a conclusion but that ending was such a buzz kill. After everything Jack went through my man didn't get the happy ending he deserved.

Thank you for making this. After 15 years, I finally know how Jack's story ended. Good job by Adult Swim in picking the show and giving it the closure it deserves.

I grew up watching Samurai Jack and recall wishing they would finish it…and as an adult I missed the reintroduction to the show but I did catch some visuals of awesome it looked..this video is going to be the reason I go back and watch this masterpiece. What an Incredible story.

Season 5 was a genuine masterpiece.. i cried at the end. Truly a legendary show indeed.

This show was a Poem on its own. A beautiful one.

Finally I can rest in peace too that samurai jack finally had his peace and the cartoon I loved from childhood ends.

The man that created this is my favorite animator. This was my show growing up. CW2003 and primal are also in my top 5 CN/AS shows.

Feels good to finally know how the story ended. Thank you for this.

this was so wholesome man, I could cry...Samurai Jack was my childhood. Thanks so much dude.

I was never able to catch this show when it aired, but catching up on it as an adult I got to give it props for it being smart and handling so many themes with a caring hand, with the art always being so well done of course.

Thank you for this. My inner child finally got some closure. I thought the show never ended for some reason.

So there was an animatic that was released, it was cut from the original story, but the originally made it so the gods brought her back to him as a reward for removing the world of the evil they they couldnt fully remove and such. It was actually right after the butterfly moment.

Man this was my favorite show way back when I was a kid, and now I'm almost 30 I finally know how Jack's story ended.

been watching this before during my college days and I was hooked man! I never saw the ending but now it is completed! Guess you cant have everything Jack, at least he's back to where he was supposed to be. Thank you for this!

Jack not telling anyone his real name is actually a stroke of genius on his part. He knew that Aku would be able to find him way faster if people were running around talking about a samurai with his family’s name. And of course being the one who sent him to the future Aku would know it was him. It was smart but makes me kind of sad knowing not even the Scottsman knew his real name

Thank you thank you thank you a million times🙏🙏🙏 this brought closure to my hands down favorite childhood cartoon of all time!!

Good old Samurai Jack, never knew about the ending finally got to know after so many years. Thankyou so much.

I felt that Jack should've defeated aku in the future then given the opportunity to return to the past only to refuse it and either to be a wandering samurai helping the helpless or become some sort of benevolent emperor over a world he's come to accept and love.

​@Juuwio wrong. You seem to forget something called "The butterfly effect". The further back in time you go, the more catastrophic the effects could be. Jack is literally transported back thousands of years, if not possibly millions. Do you know how much shit happens in just a year, let alone thousands? All it takes is one ancestor from the previous timeline NOT meeting their original spouse and generations of people never are born. It's called basic biology, which with how the western world has gone, I'll understand if you've never heard of it. Biology tells us that out DNA is coded from random selection of our parents DNA. Your mom might have said something like a previous boyfriend might have been your dad instead of your dad, but that's not how biology works. Without the EXACT two people who made you, you wouldn't be around, period.
