>>2398531>>2398577>>2398578Jack could also be looking for a way to end his immortality? Aku's along for the ride on the quest, and torn between the torture of being tied to Jack's hip for eternity and being able to watch Jack suffer for eternity. Sometimes he actually helps, but mostly he's a little shit that goads Jack into making bad calls.
That one Viking guy that got turned into the lava monster could be another travelling companion on his journey, and one thing leads to another...
The ancient Monk that lived to see Jack in the future could be a lifelong friend and confidant, one of the few things that remain a constant in his life...
I'm torn as to what Scotsman would be like in an Aku-less future. I'm thinking a cop/soldier type, but a total loose canon ala Riggs in Lethal Weapon.
Maybe in the future the Earth has contact with a bunch of the world's Aku conquered in the other timeline (maybe Jack's the one to make First Contact, even?), to include guys like the Sea Monkeys, talking dogs, and the archers...
>>2398573Eh, I was okay with the turn of events that happened. I just wish the pacing of the season wasn't so rushed. A 13 episode season with the exact same amount of plots to cover would have worked much better.
