I gotta get back back to the past that
is my hat welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re counting down our picks for
the top ten episodes of Samurai Jack can
you not see aku is beyond destruction
for this list we’re taking a look at the
most thrilling atmospheric and visually
stunning episodes of what is arguably
genndy tartakovsky z– magnum opus
I can see we’re restored how is it
possible number 10
Jack and the haunted house I am leaving
your dog here right on the the here’s an
episode with the ambiance of a classic
ghost story it’s sure to overwhelm you
with dread and paranoia
goodbye whoever you are in pursuit of a
little girl who’s lost her teddy bear
jack is drawn to a spooky abandoned
house oh wait please wait the dwelling
is literally haunted by bad memories
which Jack witnesses firsthand through
several shadowy flashbacks
it makes for a disorienting experience
in which Jack is challenged to decipher
what’s real and what’s an illusion
in the end our hero confronts a demon to
preserve a family’s future
Kunie papa
number nine Jack in the Spartans it was
then with only 300 men that we stopped
the beasts service ever notice how
sometimes history repeats itself in this
episode of epic proportions Jack comes
to the aid of 300 Spartan warriors
fighting for their land this battle is
of no concern to you why did you fight I
saw this warrior outnumbered I meant no
disrespect I apologize instead of facing
Persians though Jack and his new allies
must go up against an army of robot
monsters while the story and art style
take a few cues from Frank Miller’s 300
the episode still puts its own
distinctive signature on the Battle of
Thermopylae it amounts to some of the
show’s most glorious animation most
mind-blowing action sequences and a
bittersweet ending they will be honored
and remembered forever is 300 plus one
number 8 jack learns to jump good can
you teach me to jump Coon tried show me
I’ll show you try coming out at a time
when overly complicated plots and
excessive dialogue bogged down many
other action shows Samurai Jack
refreshing Li knew how to keep matters
simple and quickly establish character
motivation
[Music]
few episodes encompass this better than
Jack learns to jump good scab now like
before we found new home I could show
you how to defend yourselves how to
protect what is yours the title speaks
for itself as Jack works on his jumping
skills with help from a jungle man it
may not sound like much but through the
most straightforward of setups the
episode offers great comedy and several
uplifting moments right out of an
underdog sports movie you can fly no
jump good number 7 tail of x9 seems like
a coup got himself a little problem a
problem that won’t go away a samurai
problem this story shifts focus from
Jack to x9
a robot with emotions who’s blackmailed
into tracking down our titular hero when
his dog is kidnapped taking a page from
cowboy bebop with its neo-noir style and
jazzy soundtrack tale of X 9 is one of
the darkest and most heartbreaking
Samurai Jack episodes I’ll go in and get
him
for Lulu although x9 is technically
fighting against Jack
we can’t help but sympathize with him as
much as we want to see everything work
out for everyone the episode isn’t
afraid to give us a brooding ending
where nobody walks away feeling
triumphant Oh take care of the load
number 6 the premiere movie
do not worry father but with the power
of this sword I will vanquish aku the
premiere movie sets the samurai called
jack off on his journey as he masters
his magic sword faces aku for the first
time and is plunged into the future
where his enemy reign supreme
Yosi aku aku sees you while much happens
over these three episodes the story
never feels rushed and it takes plenty
of time to let the audience settle into
its environment the stunning debut
perfectly establishes the look and tone
of Samurai Jack mixing elements of
ancient history legendary stories sci-fi
and fantasy into one unique package
now that was smashing a real bang-up job
number 5
Jack versus d’mongo the sole collector
from deep within the bowels of the pit
of hate I salmon de Mangal
in addition to aku Jack encountered
numerous unforgettable foes throughout
his travels one of the most memorable
would have to be d’mongo a soul
collector with a demented design and a
piercing voice and the dealer of
destruction the merchants of doom and
Samurai Jack while plenty menacing on
his own d’mongo is only made more
threatening due to the fact that he can
absorb the spirits of fallen warriors
and take control of their essence
this leads to an immortal showdown that
gives jack a run for his money plus the
episode includes quite possibly occas
funniest reaction ever no please forgive
me number four Jack and the zombies I
have a bad feeling about this like a
great horror movie this episode lures
the audience in with it’s coming yet
eerie sentiment excuse me don’t mean to
startle you but is it not unsafe for you
to be out so late you know that certain
doom is on the horizon as Jack wanders
through a foggy graveyard then once an
army of zombies ambushes him the episode
turns into a non-stop adrenaline rush
as hunting as the zombies are aku is the
real scene-stealer here as he shows off
his shape-shifting abilities and sword
skills
after it’s over you just want to stop to
catch your breath there’s no rest for
Jack however well well well what do we
have here number three
Jack and The Scotsman by the look on
your face I can tell you like the pipes
wee laddie Jack and The Scotsman
couldn’t be more different
one is quiet patient and humble the
other is booming headstrong and full of
insults my destination lies at the
opposite end of the bridge and you’ll
get that after you back up and I reach
that under the bridge first naturally
these two don’t hit it off upon first
meeting when attacked by bounty hunters
though the polar opposites find that
they actually make a pretty good team
jump now The Scotsman proved to be such
a terrific comedic foil for Jack that
one episode alone couldn’t contain him
I’d say we’ve wiped out our bounty
hunter problem but now I he became one
of the show’s few recurring characters
taking center stage in a couple more
memorable episodes get infinite now
buddy god this is Nana Thor with bad
breath of lesson number two samurai
versus ninja samurai versus ninja just
as easily could have been called light
versus darkness shinobi warrior of the
night
trained to use the darkness of the
shadow the episode makes impeccable use
of two opposing colors to depict Jax
power of light combating against a
ninjas shadowy facade given the most
basic colors to work with you’d think
that this confrontation would be really
dull and limited yet it amounts to one
of the most well choreographed fight
scenes in the entire series with intense
music unbelievable atmosphere and
striking imagery once again Samurai Jack
manages to deliver so much while working
with so little I know your arts as well
but I have been trained to use the light
before we get to our top pick here are
some honorable mentions cry Oh tears my
son but nothing worth having is easily
attained sometimes you must fight for
what is yours and for what you believe
in you are my inner demon you have been
born from the hatred within me but now
that hatred is no more thus you do not
exist
fool I am real now feel the reality of
my cold hard steel
[Music]
number one birth of evil the elixir is
ready it is the key to extinguishing
this devilry it’s ironic that the best
Samurai Jack episode would have next to
no Jack in it then again a hero is only
as great as his nemesis and Jack had one
of the best ever in aku oh thank you
the emmy-award-winning birth of evil
finally unveils aku’s origins and his
history with Jack’s father what form of
a shake they did never before has the
master of Darkness appeared more
intimidating nor has the series felt
more cinematic your evil cannot abolish
the power of righteousness your evil
grasp on my land and its people ends now
the action keeps building and building
until we arrive at a magnificent final
battle which is truly only the beginning
now let the sword forever banish this
evil abomination
