Talk:Episode XXXIX: Jack and the Labyrinth/@comment-24053170-20201002020357

Samurai Jack is probably one of the only animated series ever made to have references to both Monkey Punch and Kazuo Koike...who were rivals in Weekly Manga Magazine.

Monkey Punch for Lupin the 3rd and Kazuo Koike for Lone Wolf and Cub. Which are both referenced in two separate episodes (though Lone Wolf and Cub is referenced directly and is the original inspiration for Jack becoming a Samurai in the first place).

Whats even stranger is that both of them passed away around the exact same time.
