Next, we see a road to a castle, flanked by many warriors. Jack sees his young self embrace his parents, whom Jack calls out to and finds that tears have sprung into his eyes once again. Jack stares in awe at the pair and we notice that the man and his son have the same intense eyes, shishogan eyes, eyes that have seen endless slaughter and death.Īmazed by this display of swordsmanship, young Jack picks up a stick and begins to swing it about like a sword. Without a word, the young boy returns to his father, who picks him up. The ronin lets the child out of the cart, who goes to stand next to Jack. The ronin walks up to the shadowy figures and stops. He pauses a moment and then rushes forward, drawing his sword and dispatching one of the four figures with a slice of his sword. After some swordplay, the ronin quickly defeats the other three warriors fall into the river, joining their comrade.ĭuring the short but brutal battle, Jack, at times, closes his eyes and looks away briefly, horrified by the mortal combat which began so suddenly. Another flashback begins, as young Jack is feeding some fish in the same river. A ronin pushing his son in a baby-cart with squeaky wheels reach the bridge, where they suddenly stop and gaze at the bridge. Jack turns and sees four shadowy figures wearing fukaamigasa hats standing abreast on the bridge, blocking the way. Next, Jack comes to a ruined bridge that no longer spans a long dried riverbed. This may very well have been Jack's first kiss. Seeing this makes the girl distraught, Jack makes an origami grasshopper for her, which upon receiving, she kisses Jack on the cheek in appreciation. The girl and Jack continue their pursuit, before the grasshopper at last spreads its wings and flies away. Seeing his distress, the girl jumps into the puddle as well. He runs into a young girl who is at the same game, chasing her own grasshopper. They combine their efforts and begin to chase a grasshopper before Jack falls into a puddle, ruining his gi. We next see a flashback of young Jack playing in a field of reeds hunting a grasshopper, mimicking how it hops away from him. Realizing that his former home is now a ruin, Jack begins to reminisce about his home, thinking back to what the buildings looked like in the past, images that are juxtaposed by those of ruins. Jack breaks down in tears at the sorry sight of his boyhood home.

He then finds and rings an ancient bell that has long since sat in ruin, he brushes away some overgrowth when he beholds the symbol of his nation, which causes him to back away in shock.

Jack turns around, bearing bitter cold but at last makes his way to more temperate climes, walking next to a beautiful river where he stoops to drink some water. He looks at the sky and then ponders his reflection, until he sees a weathered statue next to him. He brushes away some moss and then scans the horizon.
#SAMURAI JACK SEASON 6 FULL#
Jack wanders through a bronze-colored grassland full of crickets, a desert filled with sand dunes and climbs up perilous mountains before reaching a gap that proves impossible to bridge. Jack is thanked for freeing them from the tyranny of the Cossacks. Jack bows, the gesture is returned and he continues his quest. Triumphant, Jack is then greeted by a diminutive race of robed beings who look rather like Ewoks from Return of the Jedi, but resemble raccoons more than bears.

Jack's steed alights on the ground and only one Cossack remains, bearing a flagged lance. The insects are now both hopping on the ground and Jack wheels around to joust his pursuer. Jack readies his sword, the feline lowers his lance and the tilt is on. Jack makes short work of the final Cossack, destroying both it and the lance with his sword, causing the feline to explode. The episode begins in the sky, as Jack rides a huge flying insect and is being pursued by a group of robotic felines, called Cossacks, dressed in red cavalry outfits atop robotic flying insects. The robot insects shoot rapid-fire blue laser spheres at Jack, who cleverly makes most of the felines destroy themselves before going on the offensive with his magic sword. Jack returns to his birthplace and reminisces about his childhood.
