[very embarrassed and blushes deeply] Ashi! You're naked!

Ashi

So?

W-W-Well, you see...men and women are...you know...d-different and some things are private and umm...well, p-personal.

Ashi

You're not making any sense!

Here! [he covers her with his gi]

Ashi

Jack, what are you doing?!

Uh...you need protection from the creature!

Ashi

And your robe is going to protect me?

Actually it's a gi. And yes!

Ashi

You're acting weird.

[sheepishly and blushing madly] Me? Weird? Me?? [Jack laughs/chuckles nervously while blushing]

Ashi

[awkwardly smiles] Ooookaaaaaaaay?

Ashi

Jack, do you ever think about home?

Every day… My family, my home, all of it. My father was the emperor, so we lived in the palace overlooking the whole village. It was so high up in the air that it touched the clouds. I would just stare out at the beauty of the seasons changing. The summer sun blanketed the valley with long, beautiful shadows. The fall leaves brought a bounty of color. Winter was so white. And the cherry blossoms in the spring.

Ashi

Was there a girl?

Yes. Many. [Ashi looks discomforted] Oh... You meant a girl? [Ashi nods softly with a smile] No, no. I was only a boy when Aku came...and everything...

Ashi

Jack, I am so sorry. I didn't mean-

It is nice to remember the times before Aku. It is the only way I will ever see it again... As a memory.

You don't understand.

Ashi

Then help me understand.

I have seen countless innocence die by Aku. Good people. His evil has destroyed everyone I have ever...loved. All I have left now are memories. I do not want you to become just a memory.

Ashi

Jack, don't you see? Everything that has happened in our lives has brought us here. Right now...together. And together we're going to defeat Aku.

SAMURAI JACK!

Aku!

Ashi

[in fear] Aku...?

It has been too long! Far, far too long! But you're probably saying to yourself: "Why? Why now for our sudden reunion?" Well, a little birdie told me...

SScaramouch

That Samurai Jack has lost the only thing in the universe that can destroy Aku!

[Aku and Scaramouch laugh]

YOU FOOOOOL!

[Jack contradicts the demon by revealing the mystic sword to him. Aku rears back in shock, then turns to Scaramouch angrily]

SScaramouch

Oh, but Master, I-

[Aku disintegrates him into dust with his heat vision]

Well, it has been nice catching up, but I should go. I don't want to interrupt you and your lady friend. Pretend I was never here. I'll let myself out.

Wait a minute. I smell something. Something very familiar. I smell me!

Madness!

Hold it! Time out! Really. There's more Aku here besides me.

Ashi

Stay back!

Yes... I smell me inside of her.

[worried] Ashi...

Ashi

[equally worried] Jack...

But how can this be? I never... Oh, wait. There was that one time...

[it shows a flashback of when the Cult of Aku were visited by their god, Aku]

CACult of Aku

AAAAAAAAAAkuuuuuuuuuuu.

[Aku suddenly appears. The whole room is silent. Aku turn and sees the shrine/statue of himself]

[after examining his shrine/statue] Not bad.

CACult of Aku

AAAAAAAAAAAkuuuuuuuuuu.

Yes, an attractive replica, but it pales to the original. Here! [Aku pours some of his essence into a grail or cup] Worship me, Daughters of Aku!

[end flashback]

So she must have...[it shows the High Priestess drinking from the same cup or grail]...drank it? And then... [it shows the High Priestess screaming while giving birth to her daughters]

So here you are... A true daughter of Aku!

Ashi

[horrified] No!

[charges at Aku] AKU!

View quote →

[surprised/concerned to see Ashi blocking his attack] Ashi?

Ashi

I...I didn't do this!

Yes, you did.

Ashi

[worried] Jack!

Ashi!

Ashi

[truly frightened now] It's not me!

Of course it is, sweetheart. You wouldn't want your daddy to get hurt by that bad ol' samurai.

Ashi

Jack, I can't stop this! I can't control myself!

Ashi, focus! Break free!

Ashi

I'm trying!

View quote →

Ashi

[desperate, scared and starting to tear up] Jack! Kill me, Jack! You have to kill me, then destroy Aku! Do it! Please, Jack! Do it now!

[Aku's black aura slowly starts to engulf Ashi and control her again]

I...can't.

[Jack drops his sword and stands down as Aku orders Ashi to stop going for the final strike, she does as she's told, and Aku triumphantly claims the sword! Now it does seem like hope is really lost for Jack]

Is he dead?

Ashi

No. And he never will be.

How dare you talk back to your father!

Ashi

No! You're not my father!

Yes, I am!

Ashi

No, you're not!

View quote →

Ashi! You have Aku's powers!

Ashi

[gasps and speaks in a happy tone] I do!

View quote →

[Jack unleashes a final strike onto Aku's head causing him to explode and flow into the sword, leaving with only Aku's blinking eyes]

[about to kill Aku forever] NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... MOOOOOOOORRRREEEEEE!

[Jack then impales Aku with his sword into the ground, overflowing Aku's energy over into Aku's tower causing it to start to explode. Jack and Ashi make an escape as the tower is destroyed along with Aku forever.]

It... is done. [Ashi falls over in pain as she grunts] Ashi?

Ashi

I'm okay. I felt him leave me.

He will never hurt anyone ever again.

[The two lovers passionately hug]

[Last lines of the series]

[sees Ashi suddenly feels weak and collapses] Ashi!

[Jack rushes to Ashi, then picks her weak body up.]

Ashi

[weakened; sadly] Jack...

[sadly] What's wrong?

Ashi

[weakened; sadly] Without Aku, I would have never... existed.

[Ashi fades away from existence in Jack's arms, leaving nothing but her wedding kimono]

[shocked; softly] No. [saddened and heartbroken] Ashi.

[Jack mourns in the forest but sees a ladybug, reminding him that the future will be bright now that Aku has been destroyed. He smiles at the peaceful landscape below. The classical Japanese music plays during the credits.]
