#FUSIONFALL SAMURAI JACK MOVIE#
#FUSIONFALL SAMURAI JACK SERIES#

The guardian is about to crush Jack when the portal starts to flicker and glow, seemingly giving the guardian a message: the guardian has a giant pterodactyl take the unconscious Jack away. In one attempt, Jack locates a stable portal to the past, but the guardian of the portal ( Kevin Michael Richardson) defeats him after a long but noticeably mismatched battle. Typically, each time Jack believes he has reached the end of his quest, something causes him to miss his chance. The cartoon depicts Jack's quest to find a time portal, while constantly facing obstacles set by Aku in a classic battle of good vs. Standard episodes follow Jack's search for a way to travel back to his own time, where he hopes to stop Aku before these events come to pass. The first people he encounters in the future call him 'Jack' as a form of slang, which he adopts as his name (his true given name is never mentioned in the series). The prince arrives in a dystopian, retro-futuristic Earth ruled by Aku and filled with his robot minions and a large number of alien immigrant races of various appearances. But Aku creates a time portal before the prince can deal the final blow, sending his opponent into the distant future with anticipation that he would be able to amass sufficient power to deal with the samurai by that time. After taking his father's katana, the prince challenges Aku to a duel and defeats him. Having foreseen that Aku would eventually break free, the Emperor sent his son to travel the world and train his mind and his body before returning years later to Japan as an adult. Samurai Jack tells the story of a young prince (voiced by Phil LaMarr) from feudal Japan, whose father acquired a magical katana that he used to defeat and seal a shape-shifting demon named Aku ( Mako Iwamatsu). Before the final blow was struck, I tore open a portal in time and flung him into the future, where my evil is law! Now the fool seeks to return to the past, and undo the future that is Aku!' 'Long ago in a distant land, I, Aku, the shape-shifting Master of Darkness, unleashed an unspeakable evil! But a foolish samurai warrior wielding a magic sword stepped forth to oppose me. All four seasons have been released on DVD by Warner Home Video. It won 4 Primetime Emmy Awards, 6 Annie Awards and 1 OIAF Award, as well as eight additional nominations. Samurai Jack has since garnered high critical acclaim.
