We only know one thing for certain: Jack never found a way back home, and is now concentrating on the future and defeating Aku.
Ambiguous Ending: The ending of the comic book by IDW Publishing, much to many fans' dismay. Also see Anachronism Stew and Days of Future Past below. Alternate History: In this show's universe, Earth has been ruled by a shapeshifting demonic alien god since ancient times, up to the far future. All There in the Script: Many of the characters other than Aku and Jack are only named in the end credits. Like the above, when they actually meet Jack, the Samurai defeats each one without breaking a sweat, and all before a single drop of water fell from a melting icicle. Each one is also given a brief intro of how badass they are and their prior contracts. #SAMURAI JACK SEASON 4 EPISODES HOW TO#
The titular princess and bounty hunters are hunting for Jack (each for their own reasons, mostly money) and they form a complex plan on how to take him down.
A similar thing happens in "The Princess and the Bounty Hunters". The winner takes that sword, which now can apparently throw lightningbolts, then goes to wait in the raging blizzard outside. An extended Forging Scene for a tribe of orc/yeti creatures to make a sword, then the sword is rammed into a pillar while the orcs fight for who gets to wield it.
The winter segment of "Four Seasons of Death". Alien Blood: Along with fighting robots who bleed oil and electricity, Jack also fights aliens and demons who bleed slime or goo. Not only did Genndy himself have a hand in writing it, he actually shows up for a brief cameo!
Affectionate Parody: The Duck Dodgers episode Samurai Quack. He's easily the show's most comical character, but only because his immense power gives him the freedom to shrug off his enemies. He also has no tolerance for people who use violence to solve their problems and even less for those who use it for entertainment. Actual Pacifist: True to his training, Jack will only do battle when it's "honorable," usually in self-defense or the defense of others, otherwise wanting to avoid violence at all cost. And this was after the Scotsman gave him some friendly advice, warning him it was a battle he would never win. She is also one of few people to make Jack run away from a fight.
Did we mention that she was entirely unarmed?
Action Girl: The Scotsman's wife she single-handedly beats an army both her husband and Jack - two of the greatest warriors ever - had trouble fighting, and starts off said fight by punching a god in the gut. Phil Lamarr once joked that Jack was the easiest role he ever had. Action Film, Quiet Drama Scene: All over the place, it would probably be more effective to list scenes where Jack isn't brooding and staring down his enemies for long stretches of time. A Powered Armor arm made up for that and, when the gauntlet ran out of power, called upon the spirits of his ancestors for a Finishing Move. #SAMURAI JACK SEASON 4 EPISODES SERIES#
In one episode, a series of Elite Mooks made of Unobtainium were too dense for Jack to damage, but only for lack of physical strength. Only a handful of items in the series are able to counter it, the Scotsman's sword had magic runes that prevented Jack's sword from breaking it. Of course Jack's blade is supernatural in origin, immune to damage and able to cut through anything.
Absurdly Sharp Blade: Most of the swords and other bladed weapons are capable of cutting through robots made of metal easily. Abnormal Ammo: The snake arrow in "Jack and the Hunters". A very brief appearance occurs in the Four Seasons episode, to show movement in a wheat field. There's some very clear use of this when Jack ascends a shrine tower with Shaolin monks. The only reason his approval rating hits zero percent, however, was Jack - he showed people that a world without Aku could possibly exist. Outside of that instance, Aku seems not to care (since nothing his subjects could do can hurt him). 0% Approval Rating: In a notable subversion, "Aku's Fairy Tales" shows Aku as aware of how his subjects view him, which leads to a clumsy attempt to persuade children to like him.
