It be gone. Hence the number of weapons he's been using to replace it. LIKE A MINIGUN.

Then, the battle is pointless. Is it not? Jack needs that weapon cause it's the only thing that can stop Aku (MASTER OF ALL DARKNESS)

For the moment...yes. The battle is pointless. Luckily for him, Aku doesn't seem to be aware that Jack's Aku-slaying sword is gone. Doubtless part of the storyline this season will be finding his sword again.

God dammit a shipper episode. WTF. Bad enough I had to deal with this crap in Arrow, or it getting shoved into something like Korra, but now Samurai Jack too? Especially with so few episodes left?! Fedex can't even ship this hard and fast what the hell.

Why. Why do they ruin everything. Almost this entire episode was literally a giant metaphor for sex. So now they have to wrap up all their remaining story arcs AND defeat Aku TWICE...in two episodes.

Speaking of, looks like Jack's finally going back to where he last met the Guardian (and received the worst ass whooping he's ever gotten). Maybe he'll win this time, assuming they haven't decided to ditch that storyline and troll everyone with Aku killing the Guardian during the hiatus.

It's nothing but shipping, the whole way down. At least the latest episode ain't so bad.

Yeah last episode wasn't all that bad actually.

SPOILER: Click to show

I don't know why, but Aku killing Skaramouche seemed more tragic than anything going on with Ashe at the moment. Guy stole the show every time he appeared on screen.

I was actually very disappointed by this episode. This season started off much better than it ended. Very rushed.

SPOILER: Click to show

First off, the pacing was all kinds of weird. Was there a need for the joke about the Scotman's daughters to go on as long as it did? In the middle of the big battle with Aku no less?

- Or for Ashe to somehow survive as long as she did just so she can Gurren Lagann the audience?
- How do those primitive archer guys have a nice flatscreen tv conveniently laying around despite no signs of technology anywhere else in their village? (Same goes for other primitive allies)
- Did they seriously just use the most cliche POWER OF LOVE to overcome the evil that was Aku?
- How did she master all of Aku's powers so easily, to the point of being able to stalemate Aku himself even though she's only half Aku?
- How was she able to time travel so precisely despite just realizing, mere seconds before, that she even had Aku's powers? Seriously, the guy had about 5 seconds, from his perspective, before Jack returned to the past.
- How did everyone find Aku's castle so quickly when earlier in the season it was implied the Scotsman took a while to find it? I can understand him being there but it doesn't seem like he was in contact with Jack's other allies.
- How did Aku randomly just explode? When Jack's father did the same thing all that happened to him was that he was imprisoned until he broke out.
- What happened to Demongo? Why wasn't he here to collect the essence of Jack, the single greatest warrior of the ages?
- Why would you even show Demongo, the greatest of Aku's minions, alive and well again if you weren't going to use him?
- Seriously, this guy likely could've held off the entity of Jack's allies on his own thanks to his endless respawning minions, and would've only gained strength as Jack's friends took casualties.
- Hell, he might've been able to suck up the Scotman's essence and use him as an ENEMY.
- How did the giant samurai robot even HURT Aku? It's explicitly shown that only the sword and the gods themselves could harm Aku. Given enough attacks, could this giant mecha have actually killed Aku?
- If the robot was magical, thus allowing it to harm Aku, could the Scotman's Celtic Magic and magic sword likewise have hurt/killed Aku? Kinda makes the uniqueness of Jack's sword...not so unique.

I think I honestly would've preferred if Jack remained trapped in the future fighting an eternal war with Aku.
