I love how you can take the “this is terrible” line in different ways. When you first hear it, you assume the Monk’s insulting the tea, but on later viewings it feels more like he’s sympathetically calling the situation Jack’s in terrible. You mistake kindness and help for criticism when you’re so focused on your anger and frustration.

The thing about Jack's negative side is the fact that he did need it to survive for a while. It was that killer instinct that he needed to not hesitate Everytime he swung his sword. Wether it was for defense or for offense. However, over time that inner demon that has helped keep him alive was also the very thing that was causing his internal body to become unbalanced. Having a cynical side is needed to defend yourself but too much of can cause someone to become disassociated with life. Learning to come back from it is like trying to come out of a well that you dug yourself in.

Your right, ultimately. In fact, I can think of many things that aren't bad, if one thinks about it. Anger, desire, passion. That's to name a few. Hell, some of what would be called The Deadly Sins are actually not bad in moderation. Wrath. Lust. Sloth. All things, in moderation, can actually be a good thing. However... Letting them get too powerful, or too big, leads to them becoming Toxic. That's when they become bad. And that's when they become Deadly. You start seeing everything as an enemy if your anger and Wrath get too much of a hold on you. You start to live only to make money if you let Greed take control. And Lust, if left unchecked, might be the worst, in some ways. But in the end, I think a song from _Alan Wake: American Nightmare_ says it best: _In the end, it's never just the Light you need/the Dark you seek._ _When Balance slays the demon, you find peace._

​@Andrei Maxwell Logic dictates that all we need is food, water, and shelter to survive. And logic dictates that survival is the goal that takes the most priority. So never leaving the shelter, except to get food and water, is the most logical thing one can do. Which means we don't need computers. We don't need phones. We need survival skills, so we can live off the plentiful resources of the land, and not be dependent on anyone else, because we can't guarantee anyone else's actions except our own, so logically we must work alone and rely on ourselves. Extreme logic or extreme emotion causes imbalance. This has been a small example of some extreme logic. Every decision made is based on emotional and logical input. If we all thought in purely logical terms, we would never eat ice cream, or anything that tasted good, and eat specifically the most nutrient-dense foods that exist, no matter their taste.

@Justsum Yungnicca Well now that you've mentioned education: I receive this kind of wisdom from people I know who do in fact have doctorates in psychology. I am parroting from people who have far more education in this area than I do. Yes, some scenarios require more response of either logic or emotion, but that's a part of the balance: not letting either be in full control. Because, as you said, choices are up to the person themselves, not their logic or their emotions alone. So it isn't "wrong" to say balance comes from listening to both logic and emotion to make an informed decision: just because many people don't do this doesn't make it wrong. To address your other comment, which the word "reason" does indeed have a definition implying the use of logic, but the first definition is "a cause, explanation, or justification for an action or event." These justifications can be logical, or emotional, or more often than not a combination of both. It's why terms like "logical reasoning" and "emotional reasoning" exist. Many people rely heavily on logical reasoning. Many rely heavily on emotional reasoning. It's a matter of listening to both and analyzing which is more valid in a particular situation. I never said to use both equally all the time. That's hyper unrealistic. I just said to listen to both, and make a decision afterwards, not letting logic or emotion make the decision themselves.

I always loved how disproportionate and distorted Inner Jack is physically. I feel like it's meant to show how out of control he is as Jacks emotion. He's unstable to the point that, as a (metaphorically) physical manifestation, he's literally warped and skewed.

Yes and no. Which is really funny to say if you think about it. His inner demon is completely incorrect. The anger makes complete sense as to why it happened, losing the sword and suffering only to be told you are still at fault. Being angry continues to make you unworthy, it’s what lost it in the first place and there is no reason to believe he wouldn’t lose it again if he had the same issues that caused it to be lost. What I’m trying to say is the anger is wrong in its existence, but it does make sense why it was formed. The anger is a denial of self responsibility. A justification of Jack’s own flaws. The rage at being told what you have sacrificed not being enough, and that still he must be balanced as a person despite losing everything. The monk asks Jack to look past the voice in his head to point out “why do you deserve the sword if you have lost your way?” The anger is a refutation of him changing and how he still deserves the sword despite his own personal failings. To be honest? It’s an entirely unreasonable thing to ask of someone. That’s why Jack is a hero. I highly doubt most anyone could look at Jack’s situation and conclude he isn’t worthy even if he I don’t know, pissed on the sword. Again, the fact he still found humility even when he seems really justified is heroic.

He isolated himself, if he wanted to he could have turned to the Scotsman, Rothchild, the Triseraquins, the woolies, anybody for help. but he didn't, he stayed alone, he never even picked up another sword to use, he used a spear, a gun, even a motorcycle, daggers, pretty much everything aside from a sword.

No. I hold on to anger and fear because they're reactions to threats. Letting go of anger and fear, especially towards things that specifically torment me the most, is to the anxious brain like ignoring the lion sitting right there waiting to kill you. It goes against everything I feel, and it's harder to do when the thing I'm afraid of is a genuine, actually stressful thing or source for fear. You need it, because it's fear of scary things or anger towards real problems. Question is what's your solution? If you feel you need it, then you probably can't simply let it go. For me, what I somehow need to do, is simultaneously accept that the things I'm afraid of are valid things to fear, yet not feel fear and move on.

And yet, the sword requires its wielder to be greater than normalcy. Jack is at fault for losing the sword, regardless of whether others would also lose it in his stead. He must earn it back by regaining control of himself.

I see a lot of comments saying that Jack's pride and arrogance got him here. It's not pride or arrogance at all, where are you guys getting that from? The man's been stuck fighting for his life for 50 years. Fifty FUCKING YEARS. Constantly on the run from place to place, seeing death all around him, trying to help those in need but always are of the fact that as long as Aku is still alive, it's basically all a moot point because all he's doing is mitigating damage in a future where Aku has already won. He's a one man army, and every person in his family is dead. When he was so close to getting home, already halfway through the last time portal in existence, Aku snatches that away from him (we see him sprinting for the portal instead of being more cautious, he REALLY just wants to go home when Aku yoinks him out). When Aku makes him kill innocents that cannot control who they are because Jack get's so pissed he forgets about not spilling innocent blood in his fury and self defence, he loses the sword, the one thing that would let him kill Aku. Thus he switches over to survival instinct for the next few decades, using whatever he can to stay alive. I know veterans who have severe mental health problems after serving for just a few years in conbat zones. The fact that Jack has been in a high stress combat environment for 50 years plus his previous years where he still had the sword...he's tougher than any of us considering he's only really lost the will to live near the end of those 50. Losing the sword is also losing a reminder of what he is fighting for and some of his personal values. He's the embodiment of "fed up with everyone's shit". He's tired, he's depressed, he wants to go home. He wants it all to be over. This scene with the monk and his conscience is demonstrative of how Jack is literally at the breaking point. He wants the easy way out (just being given his sword back) because he's so fucking done with everything. Everywhere he turns it's just obstacles, obstacles, obstacles, for fifty years, whether it's his survival or just trying to help the helpless (again, he tries to help who he can, but there will always be endless suffering unless he can stop Aku, which he can't without the sword. It's demoralizing and demotivating). Think of something you've done where you felt like it was all for nothing. Now throw in everything Jack went through (watching innocents suffer, knowing he's their only hope and no one else will save them).His inner thoughts of "after everything we've been through", he feels justified in saying that. He FEELS like he's paid the price a million times over in being forced to endure for half a century. He tries to push away these thoughts earlier in the final season, in which he outright says "I don't want to talk to you". He's avoiding confronting these bad thoughts he has in favor of trying to ignore them (which is something we all do when we encounter something unpleasant, we don't want to think about it). But in the spirit realm, where he's safe relatively speaking and the only thing to do is to reflect upon himself, he is able to clash how he feels against what he knows is right. The monk was probably trying to coax his conscience out.

I almost entirely agree with you. But I feel like there is some severe depression going on with Jack as well. notice how when we first see him in this season, what is he using to fight? A motorcycle, a spear, a gun, and throughout he uses daggers, clubs, pretty much every weapon he knows how to use, except a sword. He's also hiding his face, something we only see him do when he's trying to be stealthy, never when he's just out and about. (although the armor legitimately seemed practical since we see him use armor the the second episode of the entire series). He cuts himself off from a huge part of his identity, the sword, and hides his face. He's angry at the world and what it's taken from him, but ashamed at his own failures as well.

I think balance is definitely a good term to use in regards for Jack. He by all right is allowed to feel anger for all that is happened to him, but he cannot use it as his excuse for everything that has happened to him just as he can't let it consume him and be the only thing he feels or way he thinks.

I love that the show's initial episodic format really played to the strength of Jack's anger arc. You watch him encounter frustration after frustration, and Mad Jack becomes a completely justified perspective. Even in this final confrontation, everything Mad Jack is saying is completely sensible... but ultimately unproductive and unhelpful. Jack confronting those unprocessed emotions is so powerful.

The best part is that there are times when you can actually SEE Jack struggling with his anger. In Jack and the Smackback, he nearly kills the Aqualizer and it takes stepping back for a moment before he remembers who he is.

"I have kept us alive!" says the inner demon who has constantly been pushing Jack to commit harakiri.

It makes sense. By saying no, he rejects his claim to the "right" to be angry. He accepts that he is at fault, and is stating that he Will Do Better from this point on. It takes repeated reaffirmations to break the rut, often over weeks and months. But you can change even the worst parts of you eventually.

Would it have been so hard to say, "you are too angry and frusterated with your quest to finish it." Also Jack had all that bottled up and never really did affect him, so what was the point??

Imagine characters like Steven Universe, Batman, Luffy or even Vegeta having an experience like this

Lets be honest. We've all been Mad Jack in some point in our lives

When the monk said "it is not for me to show you yor path" and "that is something you must earn" it means not the usual definition. The "path" the monk was talking about was the path peace,or at least, relieving of pain of the past, because Samurai Jack feels driven by it. The monk knows he can't show it because he actually can't; he might be able tell but he can't make Jack walk that path. While "earn" didn't mean in the way of transaction, but more of an exercise. Mad Jack (who is also Samurai Jack) missed the point of what the monk said, he thought of otherwise. For someone who is raised in such a culture he should have known what the monk meant. He missed the point because of his attachment to his failures resulting to anger.

That is some really quick introspection there.

This isn't entertainment, it's truth.

I could never imagine what it must have been like for Jack. Losing his home, training for years, nearly defeating Aku before being flung into the future, spending who knows how many weeks or months or years before we get to the premise of this season. Countless avenues of potentially sending him back to the past, all removed from the board, until Aku himself destroyed the very last one, causing Jack to attack him with no control, no patience and no balance, just blind, frustrating rage. The result; he lost both his sword, and his way. Then later, he finds that he doesnt age. 50 years go by, with him becoming no more than a shadow, fighting Aku's forces from the fringes or appearing to destroy an army before disappearing just as fast, hiding the fact that he doesnt have his sword anymore, knowing that if he learns this, he will scorch the earth tracking him down and ending him. 50 years of no hope, no sword, just running off of training and instinct until the day comes he just falls...

Understand your anger . But don't let him release. Understand who did wrong to you But don't retaliate on them

The sword wasnt taken to punish Jack, but to guide him back to the right path.

Anger is a fire. To release it uncontrolled is to risk destroying those around you. Keeping it inside risks destroying yourself.

Jack needed Aku the same way Batman needed the Joker. I think this is reflected by how he fell inlove with Ashi, DAUGHTER OF AKU!! and how she became the key to bringing him back to the past and fulfilling his destiny. Very tragic ending though. I'm still not over it. I loved Ashi.
