| | A few years later, on a solar eclipse, lightning strikes Aku’s prison, freeing him. Wanting revenge, he sought out the Emperor, but not before he sent his son into exile with the sword that defeated him once before. The son of the Emperor spends many years outside of Japan training with other warriors, including [[Robin Hood]]. The boy, now a Samurai, returns to his home to see it under Ali’s rule. He goes to his castle to challenge him, and after a fight, the Samurai is victorious, but before he can finish Aku, Aku roars out white circles, which opens a time portal, sending the Samurai into the future. After landing, three aliens all call him Jack, which he later adopts as his name through Aku’s Earth. | | A few years later, on a solar eclipse, lightning strikes Aku’s prison, freeing him.

| | + | Many times, Jack had chances to go back to the past, but was always thwarted by Aku, or sometimes himself, such as being infected by a sickness he got from Aku having a cold, or him choosing to go back to save monks, when the time portal closed. |
| | + | “50 years have passed. Yet, I do not age. Time, has lost its effect on me. Yet, the suffering continues. Aku’s grasp chokes the past, present, and future. Hope is lost. Got to get back, back to the past, Samurai Jack.” |
| | + | In the time since the end of Season 4, Aku destroyed all the time portals, and when he bragged about it to Jack, he got enraged, and killed baby lambs Aku corrupted after he left. After killing innocent life, Jack loses his sword, as it falls into the pit where the last time portal was. Since then, Jack spent the next 50 years fighting Aku’s minions, giving hope to the people of Earth, but Jack himself gets more and more depressed, as without the sword to defeat Aku, or a way of returning home to see his family again, a part of him believes there’s nothing to fight for, and believes the only way of restoring honor is to commit suicide. Jack later faces a robot bounty hunter named Scaramouche, who massacred an entire town killing everyone there to attract Jack, but he didn’t arrive for hours. In the fight, Scaramouche realizes Jack lost his sword, and is eager to tell Aku, but Jack beheads him with his new weapons, but unknown to Jack, Scaramouche is still alive, and still seeks to tell Aku the news. |
| | + | Meanwhile, a priestess who leads a cult called the Daughters of Aku drinks an elixir, and gives birth to seven daughters, who she trains in a very brutal fashion to make them the greatest warriors in the world, so they can kill Samurai Jack to please Aku. After years of training, the priestess orders her daughters to kill Jack. The daughters find Jack, and corner him in an abandoned temple. One of the daughters intercepts him in a hallway, and despite Jack being weak, he manages to grab a blade, and slice her throat, killing her. This shocks Jack, as he never killed a human before, and expected her to be a robot. He barely escapes the temple, and blows it up with a weapon he got after defeating Scaramouche. The remaining six daughters track Jack near a snowy cliff, and Jack warns them that if they attack, he won’t hesitate to kill them after remembering advice from his father. The daughters attack, and Jack kills all but one of them, whom is spared thanks to being binded. |
