>>96548362Time for some heresy, I always thought Aku sucked as a villain given his main deal was Jack could always kill him, but he always ran away. His personality? I think the Fairy Tales episode sums it up, little kids make FUN of Aku and Aku lets them get away with it. Also remember in the pilot? The aliens who needed water? One of their kids insulted Aku and Aku didn't kill him, but sent him to learn how to show respect. Not death, not torture, but going to Aku is Good School which again is nothing.
Aku has interesting powers, but man does he simply not maximize them. His cowardice also wrecks him. And one other thing that hurts Aku is that despite ruling the damn world he's a literal out of touch old man who struggles with computers and stuff like that. He's the one who gave rise to that advanced technology yet he doesn't know anything about it? Weak.
