At the beginning she, like many modern women, is brainwashed by Aku to believe the opposite of the truth. It is jack the saves her and soon she is reborn. She sheds the black evil of Aku and embraces the natural and the feminine. Her arc is about a women embracing her traditional place and roll and a rejection of Aku and his post-modern world of chaos □ Anonymous 05/03/17(Wed)19:22:15 No.92057675 P> >Ashi, meanwhile, is just a naive girl seeing the world for the first time. Yeah, she likes nature. Yeah, she thinks Aku is a d---. Yeah, she expressed concern for kidnapped children. But beyond that, there's not really much to her She is symbolic of Jacks actions in all the previous seasons. Like the world she was bathed in the blackness of Aku and she, like the world, is saved by the actions of Jack. Jack has been trying to save the world by traveling to the past. The problem is you can not go back to the past, a person can only move forward. Jack will lead the world back to the past by his actions, he reintroduces the world to those ideas of the past that have been destroyed by Aku. His unification with Ashi can been seen as a the reunification of the two aspects of the divine. The masculine and the feminine, the law and nature Them having a child would be the ultimate expression of this unification and the completion of Jacks journey to the past by way of creating a new future free from the evils of Aku □ Anonymous 05/03/17(Wed)19:22:27 No.92057687 >92057363 makes sense

Yes, because nothing screams "traditional female roles" like slaughtering an army of orcs single-handed.

4chan's /Co/ really is wonderful place isn't it?
Sometimes it's a place filled with volatile, petty, crude, perverted and moronic arguments from lifeless basement dwellers about comics and cartoons, but there are moments where we get posts like this. The facade drops and we realize that like all websites /Co/ is just run by people.

People who can be angry, scared or worried about something they are passionate about not playing out its full potential. People who know these shows inside out and can improve your experience by showing you the pure unfiltered reactions and thoughts they have on a cartoon or a comic. In the end these are some of the first people who internalize and decipher the hidden messages of shows like Samurai Jack.

I really do appreciate them at times…

But then they do shit like this and my newly found respect rebounds faster than Aku's pull out game. Still love em regardless.
