Trivia

• This is the official series finale of Samurai Jack.
• Many of Jack's former allies and acquaintances return from previous episodes to aid in the final battle. These include:
  • The Blind Archers
  • Rothchild and his canine companions
  • The Ravers
  • The Woolies
  • The Triseraquins
  • The Spartans
  • The "Jump Good" Monkey Man and his tribe
  • The Giant Samurai Robot
  • The Scotsman
• Jack was finally able to return to the past and successfully destroy Aku for good.
  • Tragically, Ashi was erased from existence since she was Aku's daughter. The same would apply to her sisters as well.
  • After the past Aku's destruction, everything he was responsible for in the future was undone. This may affect the existence and life of the people in the future, e.g. humans, aliens, robots, etc. and some events. However, since no one else will suffer from Aku's tyranny, Jack actually saved every race in the universe from miserable life under his rule.
• The Guardian is officially confirmed to be killed.
• The ending scene from Episode I, where Jack defeats Aku but is propelled into the future, is completely re-animated with new voice work in this episode.
• This episode reveals that Jack spent fifty years in the future, but was absent from his era for ten seconds.
• This episode also features the old opening within the episode (including Mako's narration as Aku), albeit with the horse whiney sound effect removed and different sound effects and foley for the sword swings and the time portal.
  • The final portion (from "Now the fool seeks to return to the past..." onward) was a newly animated sequence.
  • Mako is credited posthumously as Past Aku.

Goofs/Errors

• When Jack attacks Past Aku, Aku's eyebrows is missing at one frame.
