Now the samurai known as jack seek yo returns to the past and undo the evil that is aku. And finally after so many years he succeeded.
Samurai jack:
Real name: unknown
Age:75: physically:25
Powers and abilities:
Agelessness/Enhanced Longevity: Due to an unintended side effect of Aku's time-traveling spell, Jack can no longer physically age, potentially able to live indefinitely. Also, as a result, he has retained his youthful appearance along with his prime health and vitality, despite being in his seventies or eighties, chronologically. However, he's not immortal and is still susceptible to death via starvation, cold, or physical injury. Also, Jack still vulnerable to pain or injuries, and can be killed in the same manner as any normal human would. This longevity doesn't apply to his metabolism thus he still requires food, water, and rest. It also did not prevent him from growing out more hair, as his black hair grew out into an unkempt mane and his facial hair developed into a thick beard. It's unknown whether or not Jack retained this ability after changing time by finally destroying Aku in the past.
Animal Empathy: Jack's pure nature has commonly shown a strong connection to animals of various shapes and sizes. Often, they grow attached to and in essence become his allies. To which, he is able to keep them tame enough as a means of transportation. His connection with animals even at times allows him to in a manner of speaking communicate with them, able to understand their intentions.
Cunning: Jack is very cunning, being able to demonstrated a high level of understanding and intelligence. He proved to be an expert at planning and creating strategies for confrontations, using his surroundings to his advantage, and seeing through Aku's deception on quite a few occasions. This cunning allows him to easily plan against his opponents and make strategies, both ahead of time or in the heat of the moment.
Hunting/Survival Skills: Living in Aku's world greatly limits the number of places that Jack can visit for a meal, even when he has money. So, Jack tends to live in the wilderness where he must obtain his own food and water. As such, he is highly skilled at hunting, tracking, fishing, trapping, foraging, cooking, swimming, and climbing. He also has basic medical skills, and he tends to patch up injuries after his battles. On one occasion, Jack created a rope trap out of vines for catching a wild boar, and would have succeeded if not for the unexpected arrival of the Woolies. Despite mostly living out in the wild, he still tried to maintain an impeccable level of personal hygiene. One of the lesser shown survival skills that he learned from his mother, is how to repair his own clothing and even fashion hats out of reeds or vines. Though he has proven incapable of fixing his own footwear, as he never learned that skill from any of his teachers or mother. 50 years later, he is shown nursing himself while stitching his critical wound by using a bone needle and some bark fibers.
Master Archer: Jack has shown to have excellent skills in archery since he was trained by Robin Hood. His skill as an archer was put to the test in Episode 3, when Jack used this skill to set off traps against the beetle drones and later used his last arrows on the beetle drones which they hit dead on.
Master Marksman: Jack has high levels of precision and accuracy with firearms even at a great distance, rarely missing his target. Jack is shown proficiency in modern weaponry; shown using a handgun after spending 50 years in the future. While he never trained in the use of firearms during his training regimen, he presumably mastered its use in the absence of his sword. He is also skilled in using heavy firearms such as a machine gun with a rocket launcher.
Master Martial Artist: Jack has shown impressive mastery in martial arts. He has been trained in many different forms of combat by many teachers (including Jack's Teachers) from all over the world. Some of the styles include the Shaolin Praying Mantis, Tiger and Eagle Claw styles, Greek Wrestling, Southern Fist, Sun Fist, Wushu, Wing Chun, and African Stick Fighting. In his youth, Jack also learned how to use unfamiliar weapons by observing others, and adapting their style into his own skills to use them more effectively as necessary. After 50 years, he is shown to be skilled enough to defeat three of the highly skilled Daughters of Aku with only his bare hands by turning their inner strength and weapon against them.
Weapon Master: Jack is well versed in a number of weapons that range from spears and staffs to nunchakus and shurikens, as shown in his fights at the Dome of Doom.[1] After 50 years, he begins to adapt to modern technology, where he relies on firearms, his motorcycle, and a retractable polearm. Also, he is also shown to use combat knifes to fight against Scaramouche during their first encounter.
Master Swordsmanship: Jack's signature and arguably greatest skill is his performance with a sword. Jack's style relies primarily on swiftness and precision in his strikes, balancing with strong defensive stances that parry his opponent's strikes until finding an opening for a decisive blow. Very few opponents have been demonstrated to be a match for his swordsmanship, among them are The Scotsman, The Ninja, and the sword-wielding Ultra-Robot, and even fewer can outright defeat him, such as The Guardian. His trademark technique is the Tremendous Horse Cut, which he jumps into the air and slashes the opponent with tremendous force during his fall to break their defense or destroy their armor. After 50 years, Jack is shown to use one of the alien creatures' severed appendage as a makeshift sword to kill a number of creatures.
Vehicle Intuition: Originally, Jack possessed no familiarization with transportation vehicles. Later, he is shown to know how to ride a motorcycle after 50 years in the future.
Multilingual: Due to his travels around the world in his native era, Jack was taught by many different cultures, including African, Greek, Russian, Mongolian, English, and more. Presumably, he learned the local languages and dialects of his teachers during this time period, as international tongues were rare in his period of history. He even learned the Egyptian language during his training with the Egyptian priests.
Ninjutsu: Jack has had training in ninjutsu, having been trained to stealthily blend in with his surroundings. His preferred style is to blend in with the light. He does this by simply reversing his kimono so that he is dressed in white, and tying white bandages around his face, hands, and feet, after which he employs his training. 50 years later, he is even able to blend even with little clothing to disguise himself with, as well as being able to blend in with the snow as his advantage to outmatch his opponents in combat, as demonstrated with the six Daughters of Aku in a snowy forest.
Jump Good"/ Incredible Leaping: In exchange for teaching a tribe of primate men how to defend themselves against bandit's, Jack was physically conditioned and taught how to leap at impeccable high distances and heights.
Peak Human Conditioning: From spending the majority of his life preparing to face Aku and constantly facing adversity in his quest to return home, Jack has honed his body to the absolute limit of human potential. Given the fact he no longer ages and maintains a healthy lifestyle, he probably will remain that way for the foreseeable future.
Peak Human Agility: Jack is extremely agile and he often uses this agility to his advantage against any opponent. He can easily do back-flips to avoid danger and land on his feet with ease.
Peak Human Endurance: Jack has shown many times to be resistant to harm. He withstood powerful blows from inhumanly strong opponents relatively unfazed and being slammed through rocks only to quickly brush it off. Even with injures he does sustain, he has a high threshold for pain, able to continue fighting with no hindrance to his performance. He has even survived falls from great heights that would kill a normal person. Jack also has an unfathomable reserve of stamina. In addition to rarely tiring, even after such, he is shown able to fight off hundreds of opponents for days and still able to move and survive despite losing a lot of blood as seen in Episode XCIV.
Peak Human Senses: Jack's years of training have honed his senses to surreal levels. Due to fully mastered his senses, he has the ability to fight on any level. With them, he is highly alert to any approaching threat and likewise is able to quickly react to even the fastest of opponents. With his sense of hearing alone, he was able to defeat the Blind Archers, taking in the whole environment to consistently steps ahead of the three archers.
Peak Human Speed: Jack is shown to be extremely swift. With his natural reflexes and sheer footwork, he is able to avoid gunfire, carve through entire armies within seconds, and even defeat a team composed entirely of highly skilled bounty hunters from all directions in the time it takes for a drop of water to hit the ground. He has also demonstrated the ability to use his sword to deflect bullets from a gatling gun with little effort.
Peak Human Strength: Jack has deceptive raw strength for his lean frame, able to cleanly cut through most machines with little effort and can easily throw opponents much larger than himself. Also, following his training with the blue monkeys, his strength increased immensely, able to jump about while weighed down all over by large rocks and boulders. In building up his muscles for this improved physical prowess, he also gained the ability to jump about hundreds of feet into the air, even from a stationary position. However, in comparison to characters such as The Scotsman, he is shown to have difficulties lifting heavy loads.
Willpower: Jack seems to possess a nearly indomitable force of will, able to push himself through virtually any hardship in order to vanquish Aku. This ability is not absolute, however, and he is capable of becoming disheartened and, at one point, he nearly gave up his quest (though on that occasion he got over himself in rather short order after being reminded of what it was that he fought for). In spite of that, his willpower enable him to overcome The Demonic Spirit's possessions who attempted on devouring Jack's soul as shown in Episode XXXV.
Weapon and Equipment
Main Weapon
Jack's Katana: A mystical katana forged by Ra, Odin, and Vishnu to vanquish Aku. This was Jack's only primary weapon until it was lost in battle sometime prior to Season 5, which forced him to resort to using other high-tech weaponry instead. In Episode XCVIII, Jack is reunited with his magic sword by overcoming a gauntlet of dangerous physical and spiritual tests. In Episode CI, after Jack successfully killed Aku, the katana is probably in the restored castle seen in the first episode.
Extended Weaponry
While his katana was his principal weapon, the duration he spent without it forced Jack to adopt an arsenal of weapons in order to survive and fend off the contemporary enemies of the future.
Electric Trident: Jack is shown using a retractable trident with a dragon-shaped head sharp enough to penetrate and pull out the electrical components of Beetle Drones, while the reverse end emits an electric charge strong enough to cut through anything. It's revealed that the dragon-shaped head can spin like a drill to penetrate the biggest Beetle Drone easily. Lost during Jack's battle with the Daughters of Aku.
Tuning Knife: A knife taken from Scaramouch after defeating him, which can transform into a tuning fork shape. Any weapon it touches while in its tuning fork form rings loudly before exploding. The knife can transform into a tuning fork shape and emits an ultra high-frequency oscillation that shatters objects on contact. Stolen by one of the Daughters of Aku, but later recovered. Jack used the knife to destroy the temple's hallway during his escape, preventing the Daughters from following him. Lost in the river.
Laser Pistol: Jack's personal sidearm. The rounds are powerful enough to penetrate multiple targets at once and destroy a golem's head with one shot. Destroyed during Jack's first encounter with the Daughters of Aku.
Mini-gun: This weapon is more advanced than the real-life equivalent since it can be wielded like an assault rifle and has a built-in rocket launcher at the center. Jack keeps this stowed in his motorcycle. Smashed with a kanabÅ by one of the Daughters of Aku.
Kunai: Jack threw a kunai at Scaramouche's cellphone to prevent him from talking further with Aku. Presumably lost during Jack's first encounter with the Daughters of Aku.
Samurai Armor: This armor provides additional protection for Jack with high durability and built-in retractable shields that can be thrown as projectiles. The armor originally had a demon mask until it was destroyed during a confrontation with the Beetle Drones. The rest of the armor was destroyed during Jack's first encounter with the Daughters of Aku.
Motorcycle: Jack's own ride which is also a rideable weapon. The wheels can sprout spikes, which are used for destroying multiple enemies. It was quickly destroyed with a tripwire by the Daughters of Aku.
Explosives: Jack carries a whole belt of explosive devices, but mainly use them to escape from desperate situations. All were used during his escape from the Daughters of Aku.
Combat knives: Jack wields two long Bowie knives with brass-knuckle hilts when fighting against Scaramouche. Both of these are shattered during the battle by the tuning knife, though Jack is able to throw the second at Scaramouch before it explodes, damaging him with its fragments in the process.
Other Weapons: Jack occasionally and briefly uses other weapons he finds but does not keep (and even did this while he still had his sword). In Season 5, he uses Scaramouche's own scimitar to destroy him but discards it due to its weight. He later uses an ancient sword and battle-ax while fighting the Daughters of Aku in a temple, but both are destroyed. In his rematch against the remaining Daughters, Jack killed two of them with spears he had created and fought the rest with their own weapons. While trapped inside a large monster, Jack's resourcefulness and improvisation came into play, using a creature's severed limb as a makeshift sword to fight them, then later grabbing part of the monster's innards as a makeshift mace to rescue Ashi. He also uses the ritual Seppuku dagger meant for him against the Omen to save Ashi's life.
Holy moly that way more than I initially thought,this man basically have batman level of skills.
Like get down to what we here for. Should samurai jack be a part of the avengers of the multiverse. Answer is no. Reason? Because this man been though so much,50 years of suffering and sacrifice. And finally defeat aku once and for all and even got married. We can't bring this man back into the fold,let him have his peace because it well deserved.
All right sorry for wait but I now working at the wishlist roster for a while when I can.
