Now, you are balanced.

—Buddhist Monk, Episode XCVIII

The Monk is a minor character in Season 5 of Samurai Jack.

Biography

The monk came to Jack in a vision and asked him if he was lost, after Jack told him that he was lost, the monk brought Jack inside to make tea. After Jack made the tea, the monk said that it was terrible and lacked balance, and finds out that Jack himself lacked balance.

This made Mad Jack resurface to take matters into his own hands. He aggressively tried to force the monk to reveal the katana's whereabout and even attempted to slap the monk. When Jack successfully sealed Mad Jack, the monk told him that he has found balance, thus making him worthy of the katana again.
