Jack has banished his evil side and got his sword and outfit back. Aishi has defeated her mother out of nowhere. And the gods even had the courtesy of giving Jack a clean shave!
Hopefully, they kill Aku and go back in time in the next episode as I don't see anything else worth covering.
I think I changed my mind on whether Jack is gonna hook up with Aishi. Recent two episodes have made it clear she's waifu fodder.

Then how did Jack not realize they weren't robots?
He'd basically been fighting robots for 50 years straight. Even some of them resembled humanoids and animals. Also they didn't speak, moved in unison, and had superhuman strength, agility, etc... All the hallmarks of robots.
And he was also mired in so much self doubt and anger and etc... that he was focused purely on survival. And as of the most current episode, it's obvious that his anger personified was manipulating him to an extent.
So there's plenty of reasons.
Is it the same sword? They shot some eyebeam things at Jack.
Wondering if maybe they took Jack's worthiness and forged another sword from it. Or at least imbued his power into it.
Sort of like Inuyasha's fang repairing Tetsusaigi, so that he was symbolically relying on his own strength instead of his father's.
Genndy's pretty much just screwing around, from the look of it. Out of left field tone changes and no real pacing.
Probably never even had an endgame when he started this series, and is just in it for the money.
But why should Toriyama get all the fun? More power to him, nobody gave a shit when he was working his ass off on good stuff.
I really feel this season blew away a lot of its potential with some of the storytelling decisions. Take for example Scaramouch. He knows (or rather, knew) Jack didn't have his sword. As of episode 6, he was even headed back to Aku to let him know Jack doesn't have his sword. This added a EXTRA THICC layer of tension to the plot and kept viewers on the edge of their seats as to how things were going to play out. Then, lo and behold, in the next episode, Jack suddenly gets his sword back, hence immediately destroying the tension created by Scaramouch rushing back to inform Aku of his discovery.
Originally posted by CosmicCometIt's an opinion, but one far more well-substantiated than those who wished them to become an item my man. For one, them being a couple is somewhat creepy. More importantly, Jack being a paternal figure to Ashi is far more fulfilling to her character arc and to the story as a whole. Do you know why my son?
That's certainly an opinion, even those among the unwashed masses like yourself are entitled to them.👆

Why even bring Scaramouch back?
