AN:

I've decided to have the new opens of the story be separated from the episodes, as they take up a lot of space. I'll be using the original monolog opens from "The Red Dragon Samurai" season 1, but if you want to read this one before reading the new episodes of the second half of this season, he you go.

Also I have Episode XXI posted right after this.

Enjoy!

("…Gotta get back…back to the past…Samurai Jack.") There's nothing but a black screen.

("I've finally returned to the past and defeated Aku.") The scene then goes down to reveal Jack. His silhouette all white with a white shadow behind him, standing in the dark with his back turned towards the viewer.

("But, I still feared for the future.") Jack is then shown looking out at the horizon from the balcony of his castle, pink Sakura leaves falling all around him and his empire. The scene then changes to show an opening in a snowbound forest with towering trees.

("Though he's gone, his shadow still remains.") The camera turned slowly to the right and stopped when it shows Jack meditating on the snow covered ground, with his right side facing the viewer. There's then a close up of the sheathed Sword, as the blade is pulled from the scabbard.

("Though I will not be around, I will not let the nightmare return.") The scene focuses only on the Sword's blade, as reflection of Jack's eyes was shown in the metal for a moment, before Aku's eyes replaced them.

("With a simple goal, the Sword was passed down to eldest child of the eldest child.") Jack's silhouette, with the sword in hand, stands on top of a hill looking at his home from a distance. But then the scene changes to where there was a woman standing in Jack's place, looking at another city of the in the 19th century.

("To be passed down throughout the times.") The scene fades into another one, this time to a man looking at a city set ablaze in the night, as American bombers fly overhead during World War 2.

("So that if Aku does comes back, there's hope.") Again, the scene changes. But this time shows Kenny's silhouette looking at Kuoh. The city lit by its neon lights in the night atmosphere.

("I've placed my faith in him, and those around him.") Kenny was now sitting on the ground and leaning against a tree while looking up at the silhouette figure a familiar young woman. The screen suddenly goes black.

("His name is Kenny Kurosawa… the Red Dragon Samurai.") Things continue to remain black, but then the Sword is seen falling in slow motion.

(When all you got to keep is strong) The song of the intro starts when the Sword's stopped falling at a diagonal angle and when the black back disappeared, showing that it was in the right grip of Kenny. The viewer is shown Kenny's right side, as he's walking in heavy rain at night, soaked complete. The title appeared when lightning flashed behind him.

The Red Dragon Samurai

(Move along, move along like I know you do) The camera stopped moving with him, and Kenny walked off screen, causing the title to disappear like a mist.

(And even when your hope is gone) A flash of lightning, and the viewer is then shown a close up of the right half of Kenny's serious face, as he faced them. The viewer is then shown Kenny, along with Rias, Asia, and Kiba on his left, and Akeno, Koneko, and Xenovia to his right. They are all walking in towards the viewer in the nightly rain. Soaked by the weather, that even the girls' bras were able to be seen through their clothing.

While they were walking, the camera is moving back, showing that slightly they were approaching a group of Beetle Drones.

(Move along, move along just to make it through) A quick second cut away shows only the front of the Beetle Drone horde, as their red eyes shined in the night, and light from the lightning reflecting off them.

Showing the feet of our heroes, they stop. The Devils then look up when bright lights shined on them, which after the camera moves to the right, is shown to be a pair of stadium lights shining on them. Two in front of them, and also two behind them, and these lights revealed that they were surrounded by Beetle Drones.

The hundreds upon thousands of Beetle Drones stood on their back legs, ready to attack them.

(When all you got to keep is strong) Viewing them from an angle, the viewer sees simultaneously Xenovia summoning Durandal, Koneko standing in a fighting position, Akeno charging her lightning, Kenny activating his Boosted Gear, Rias charging her Power of Destruction, Asia pulling out her dagger, and Kiba summoning his Holy Demonic Sword all at once, at the same time.

The Beetle Drones charged at them.

Kenny charged forward.

(Move along, move along like I know you do) His name, Kenny Kurosawa, appeared when he sliced a Drone down the middle.

The camera quickly moves to Rias Gremory, who had her right arm aimed and was ready to fight a blast of her demonic powers. She fired the blast, which any and all Beetle Drones that were in its way, creating many explosions.

(And even when your hope is gone) Asia Argento using one hand to heal Akeno's cut back, wide blocking an attack from a Beetle Drone with her dagger.

Akeno Himejima quick returns the favor by pointing a figure at the robot and shooting its head off with her light. Then, with her trademark smile, points her figure up to the sky and collects lightning from the sky, before aiming at a group of Beetle Drones and unleashed her Holy Lightning. Destroying many of them.

(Move along, move along just to make it through) Then, with her trademark smile, Akeno points her figure up to the sky and collects lightning from the sky, before aiming at a group of Beetle Drones and unleashed her Holy Lightning. Destroying many of them.

Koneko Toujou kicked a Drone right in the center, breaking it almost in half as she sent backwards.

Showing his left side, Yuuto Kiba, cuts an off-screen Beetle Drone in a single slash. The camera then moves to the right—and showing her right side—shows Xenovia Quarta cutting an off-screen Drone, too.

(When all you got to keep is strong) Changing scenes, it shows the inside of the room Gasper was held up in. In there, the viewer sees Gasper Vladi sitting in his box, hugging his stuffed bunny, as tears flowed from his eyes.

(Move along, move along like I know you do (Know you do)) But then, Karen Kurosawa comes up behind him and knees down, wrapping her arms around his neck in a hug with her one Fallen Angel wing out. This causes Gasper's eyes to widened, but to also form a smile

(And even when your hope is gone) In a dark room, Sirzechs, Azazel, and Michael walk towards each other, before stopping.

(Move along, move along just to make it through) They then held out one of their hands and placed them on top of one another, before opening their wings, showing they are uniting.

(Go on, go on, go on, go on) Sona Sitri and her peerage are then shown quickly for a moment. Yubelluna, Xuelan, Karlamine, and Isabella are then shown posing. X-9 and Lulu are shown next. And finally Vali is seen, before he jumps up and next seen in front of the moon in his dragon armor.

(Right back what is wrong) Back on the battlefield, Irina Shidou and Father Leonardo slashed through a pair of Beetle Drones.

(We move along) Kenny looked at them in wonder, before the two turned towards him. The Grand Exorcist nodded, while Irina smiled and winked.

(Go on, go on, go on, go on) Serafall Leviathan is shown doing a twirl, before facing the viewer and doing her pose.

(Right back what is wrong) Taking the viewer to Kenny, he is then shown pointing the Sword to the sky, before unleashing his Balance Breaker.

(We move along) He then slashed horizontally, destroying many Beetle Drone.

(Go on, go on, go on, go on) Afterwards, Kenny looked up and stared at something. A quick angle change, and the camera shows the viewer tower silhouette of Aku with his head behind the moon.

(Right back what is wrong) After blasting away so Beetle Drones that were in front of her, Rias turned around and ran towards Kenny, before jumping on his back.

(We move along) The thrusters on his back ignited, and Kenny flew up into the air above the Beetle Drone, as Rias held on for dear life.

(Go on, go on, go on, go on) Odin is then shown, then Ra, then Vishnu, and finally Samurai Jack, who smiles at the viewer before turning around and disappearing.

(Right back what is wrong) Coming towards the viewer as he flew towards Aku in the windy rain, Kenny charged Red Dragon Slash.

(We move along) He then launched the attack at the viewer, and the scene goes completely blank, as the intro ends.
