Write What You Know: Storyboard artist Brian Andrews is well-versed in actual martial arts, being a practitioner of Chinese wushu. Writer Revolt: After having done two dialogue-heavy shows with Thick-Line Animation, Genndy wanted to do a show with neither. He would respond along the lines of "that's above my pay grade". Word of Saint Paul: This is defied in one respect: Phil LaMarr said he was regularly asked between 20 if Jack would ever make it home. When asked what Jack's father's name was, he simply replied " Emperor." Shrug of God: Genndy admitted that he never gave much thought to some of the characters' names, up to and including Jack himself, whose real name is never revealed. After a comic book continuation by IDW Publishing ran from 2013 to 2015, the show's final season was announced in late 2015 and began airing in 2017 (nearly thirteen years after the original show's run ended). Sequel Gap: The show's original run ended in 2004. The show finally received its official premiere date (11 March 2017) two months before that airdate. Schedule Slip: When the new season was announced in December of 2015, the announcement was accompanied with an admittedly vague premiere date of "late 2016". The show itself vanished entirely when the City Era arrived and the last 4 episodes didn't air until August of that year, taking 9 months to air when related to the prevoius episode "Jack Vs. Averted with that new season as it was heavily promoted and aired at the very beginning of the block. This did not stop the new season from being greenlit, however, so it clearly did well enough for the network's tastes. Granted, Samurai Jack was an old show at this point, though considering that (1) Samurai Jack hadn't aired on Toonami for about six years, (2) it was replacing FLCL-a show that was older than Samurai Jack, had been rerun into the ground on, has only six episodes compared to Samurai's 52 (not counting the revival), and was airing at 2:30am because it was Adored by the Network-and (3) 4:00am is the deadest hour of the night (one usually reserved for reruns), it was still very disappointing. Screwed by the Network: When announced that the original Samurai Jack would return to Toonami, its timeslot was not revealed until a couple weeks before its airdate, when it was revealed that it would air at 4:00am. Referenced by.: Samurai Jack make a cameo in this song. Reality Subtext: This show about traveling one thousand years into the future debuted in 2001 amidst cultural excitement and anxieties over The New Millennium. There is also a boss in Donkey Kong 64 named Mad Jack, and a pirate named Mad Jack. Name's the Same: Mad Jack is Jack's Evil Twin. 
Fake Scot: John DiMaggio, an American, voices the Scotsman, who is of course Scottish. Otherwise averted with most of the other Japanese characters, however, who are all played by actors of East Asian (though not always Japanese) ancestry. Fake Nationality: Samurai Jack and Ashi, two Japanese characters, are voiced by Afro-American Phil LaMarr and Caucasian Canadian-American Tara Strong, respectively. They were unaware, however, that picking it up again would take as long as it did. #Samurai jack season 4 episode 5 wiki movie
Creator's Apathy: Part of why the movie never happened was because the crew was burned out after making the show for four straight years and felt that they were too creatively exhausted to give the series the ending it deserved, deciding it was more respectable to leave it open ended.The fifth season was entirety animated by Digital eMation with the exception of XCVIII, which Rough Draft animated. The first four seasons were animated by Rough Draft Studios.Because of this, the entire series run and property is now considered part of Adult Swim. The series moved from Cartoon Network to Adult Swim's Toonami block, with Williams Street now producing the series alongside Cartoon Network Studios.He, too, passed away of liver cancer in November 2014 before the final season could be made.
In the Japanese dub, Aku was voiced by movie actor Bunta Sugawara, better known for non-Japanese audiences as Kamaji in Spirited Away and Shozo Hirono in Battles Without Honor and Humanity.
