>>92170113Anon, this has nothing to do with time or even taking issue in a relationship being made. The plot is juggling two plots about broken characters getting over deep issues, Aku still being out there and causing problems, finding a time portal, a suicide ghost, hallucinations, etc.
And then suddenly smash-cut to them making out after a whole episode of fluff.
The problem isn't that the romance exists. It's the pacing. For me, it's also the fact that it feels like 50 years passed just so that Ashi was necessary to get Jack out of his funk. If it was a smaller time-skip, older characters could have been there for Jack rather than shoehorning in a romantic interest.
