But before the final blow was struck, Aku tore open a portal in time and decietfully flung him to the future, where his evil was Law. For years, he had traveled the strange lands alone, searching for a new home, helping those who needed him along the way. No matter how much Aku tried burdening him in Despair, Jack never loses hope, and he knew that he would find his way home, and seeks to return to the past, and undo the evil that is Aku, and release it from Aku's evil grip."

When Aku just returned from "exile" he knew about sword and was really careful, because last time he was slain by it. When he flunked Jack into the future, where his evil is law, he could be sure, that Jack will die long before he reaches him because, like, one man against entire space empire of evil? What were the chances.

"Once upon a time there was a little girl with a red hood... and GREAT FLAMING EYEBROWS."

I freaking love Aku: his design makes him look like a Japanese dragon (or some demonic thing), which the black-lime-red color scheme with his bulging eyes does extremely well. He is a menacing foe, but there is a comedic side to him (his little sounds when he's surprised/mocking), especially with the facial expressions. His voice is perfect: he sounds like the "grumpy old man," which makes sense because of how old demons of the ancient world really are. There's more, but...ah, he's just Goth as fuck!

I love how he's both threatening yet campy.

(high pitched mousey voice) I will get you yet, Samurai!

You see, Aku is my favoriate villian becuase he understand humor, which is pretty rare conciderably.

“E X T R A T H I C C”

Tbf Aku was being nice when he said their city would remain sunken and isolated from the world. They had a pretty good gig going, have you seen what Aku did to the world?

Aku the Shape Shifting Master of Darkness and the Archenemy of Samurai Jack

Basically every single line from Aku in the entire series

The fact that he just trolled him with the portal is hilarious

This show was ahead of it's time. Aku is pure comedy gold!

i don't know, but Aku is actually more messed up than anticipated.

I always enjoyed how Aku's minion is basically nothing but bones, but does have running shoes.

Pause at 11:05 Aku got a pretty sly mug. I wonder why it's not a meme yet?

Aku is the perfect combination of (Near) Pure Evil and a Comic Relief.

9:20 This was my fav, probably in the whole series!

Aku is one of those perfect unions of writing, acting, and design.

Can’t believe this didn’t include the clip of AKU being a therapist for himself

So many missed opportunities 😭

7:04 is classic. Aku had his greatest enemy at his mercy at long last, after so many years, and he couldn't figure out the best way to kill Jack. Understandable too because when you have a nemesis who has been able to live through just about anything and everything you throw at them for years, when they are finally at your mercy and the ultimate victory is in your grasp, you want to end them in just the most special way possible.

8:13-8:32 that whole scene is just picture perfect.😂

7:03 This deserves to become a meme!

7:32 Samurai Jack contracts Covid 19 from Aku?!

The way he says DIIIIIEEEEE is so iconic.

Aku is truly a cruel villain and i love it. he doesnt leave anything to chance. He crushes demongo for failing him, he sends the "boy" to the pit of hate, he teases jack with the portal and just leaves. Straight cold.

I feel Mako really made Aku. His voice is just so iconic and when he passed it just wasn’t the same.

mako voiced aku in samurai jack, then iroh in avatar. he was on cartoon network, adult swim, and nickelodeon. literally anyone will accept this guy as a voice actor, even if he hails from a rival company.

Yeah, so do Grey DeLisle and Kevin Michael Richardson. Mako was hardly unique in that respect

@@BenHopkins1000 maybe he wasnt one of a kind but he was damn good though

only aku would start a live broadcast with the intro to the show lmaof

Mako was an absolute legend. He *made* Aku.

Can we just appreciate how amazing aku is!? Probably the best villain for several reasons! A perfect nemesis! And of course all the things he has done…. The evil laugh, shapeshifting, and the constant deception!

Some would say he's satan himself

Aku was one of the biggest trolls to exist

Aku, the shape-shifting master of darkness, a villain that terrified us and also made us laugh with his antics and his... GREAT FLAMING EYEBROWS!!!

So cool. I cannot believe how old this show was yet I still remember its premiere debut on Cartoon Network. Still memorable and a great show. I absolutely love Samurai Jack

Gotta be one of my favorite quotes of all time. “I will cure the world of this plague of hope” That line just sounds unbelievably amazing!

Easily one of my favorite cartoon antagonists. Perfect balance of cold and menacing villainy and cartoon humor.

One thing for Aku: he's a complete jerk.
