Well, he brought the whole place down around their ears, so he couldn't be too comcerned if they live or die.
Not true. He'd been hounded by them for what seemed like hours. Or even if it was just the 20 minutes of the show, he's been a warrior for at least 70 years. He knows how capable and powerful they are, and that collapsing the temple wouldn't kill them.
His concern was obvious when he slit her throat. As he has killed biological creatures before, but never a human. Much less a human teenage girl.

Knowing Genndy, I don't think we have to worry about getting a bloodbath or anything. The man is clearly inspired by Usagi Yojimbo, which means thoughtful writing. He was probably pressure to put in as much as he did (And none of it from Jack.)
Well this comment did not age well.

No, it did not. 🙁
If Jacks message was supposed to be the moral of the story, it sort of missed the point when you consider those kids DIDN'T choose their path. It was forced on them.
They're basically brainwashed cultist's who were probably kidnapped while young and indoctrinated. They didn't even know what a deer is..

We saw them being born. They were trained to kill Jack since birth. The deer scene made their death particularly sad for me

In Jack's tentative defense he doesn't know that and did give them a chance.Of course if Jack manages to get back to the past to kill Aku then those girls will get a happier life in theory.
I don't blame Jack. I'm just wondering where the stories going with it.
I still have faith in Genndy, he has a pretty good track record. I'm certain this won't end with Jack self rightiously clinging to the comparison of cutthroats who made their choices (Which would be a disappointing way to leave this off.)
I will say the scenes with Jack and the dog, and Jack and Jack were awesome.
Originally posted by cdtmIt's dramatic irony. Jack is justifying his killing of the Daughters of Aku with a moral his father taught him, completely unaware that it doesn't apply to them at all, because they've never been allowed to make their own choices for their entire lives. It's actually a pretty great deconstruction of the moral.
