>>91812077It could be the beginning of mythologizing Jack. It's been 50 years. There's a lot of things in this day and age that we accept as true that are based of historical revision (well-meaning or otherwise), or it could be the raver culture. In Shakespeare's time, plays like he wrote were seen as low entertainment and women were forbidden from acting in them, so all the roles were played by men. In Japan, it was the opposite: before a royal edict, all the roles in kabuki plays were performed by women. After the edict, all of them were done by men.
Maybe for whatever reason the ravers have a woman play Jack - you could even bullshit it and say its to further represent the difference between the brutal, overwhelming force of Aku and the grace and skill of the samurai. Or, it could be just as simple as
>>91812147 and
>>91812163 say: today was Jessica's turn to play the samurai.
