Samurai Jack Wiki

The Daughters of Aku, sometimes known as the Cult of Aku, was an all-female cult that worshiped Aku in the Future. They conducted ceremonies and wore female outfits resembling him. Their leader, the High Priestess, gave birth to female septuplets, whom she and the cultists raised to be elite assassins, also known as the Daughters of Aku, created solely to kill Samurai Jack. The cult was erased from existence when Jack returned to The Past and destroyed Aku, preventing him from taking over in the Future.

Background[]

Not much is known about how the cult was started, but due to their devotion to Aku, they despise Jack just as much as he does. When Aku first visited the coven in their temple, he was impressed by the statue they had constructed in his likeness. Aku decided to bless them by dripping a portion of himself into a chalice. Their greedy leader, the High Priestess drank the entire chalice and thus became impregnated and gave birth to human-demon hybrid septuplets. Even Aku himself was surprised when he accurately figured out of what had happened. The High Priestess and the other cult members raised and trained the Daughters of Aku so that they could kill Samurai Jack. Towards the end of their training, the Daughters of Aku were made to kill most of the cult as a test of their skills.

It is presumed that after Jack was able to return to the Past and kill Aku, the timeline was almost completely altered so it is highly likely that the Cult never existed.

Appearance[]

All of the members wear black cloaks with identical white masks concealing their faces. They also wear headdresses that resemble Aku's horns.

Trivia[]

  • The cult is a strange phenomenon in the Samurai Jack world since almost everyone in the world and the universe fear, hate and despise Aku due to his massive cruelty, brutality and tyranny. It is unknown why the cult would ever worship a demonic entity like Aku. As Aku seemingly entered into a depressed semi-reclusion some time in the last 50 years and takes little notice of the cult, it seems that his absence might have inspired reactionaries.
    • It is revealed in episode C that Aku did indeed visit the cult once, and gave them a portion of himself as a blessing.
    • Furthermore, after bestowing them a portion of his essence, Aku addresses the Cult as Daughters of Aku when he permits them to worship him.
    • Ashi and her sisters have been raised with the false belief that Aku created the world, which may be true of the rest of the Cult as well.
  • They are also known as the Daughters of Aku.
