Samurai Jack

"I am the lost son of the land that you have pillaged! I am here to reclaim it, for my people, for my father, for my birthright!"

- Samurai Jack to Aku

Samurai Jack is the titular main protagonist from the series of the same name. He will appear in the 96th episode of Death Battle, Samurai Jack VS Afro Samurai, where he will fight against Afro Samurai from the series of the same name.

History
A prince from feudal era Japan, he was the son of an emperor who used an enchanted sword created by the gods to seal away the demon known as Aku. But when Aku was freed and enacted his revenge, the prince was sent to travel the world and undergo a series of training before returning to his ruined homeland to receive his father's sword and end Aku. But before the prince can succeed, Aku creates a time portal that sends the samurai into the hostile and lawless future that Earth has become under Aku's rule. Going by the name of "Jack", the samurai seeks a means to return to his time and end Aku before his reign could have began. But Jack's attempts have been unfruitful for half a century, the pressure of robotic assassins and constant guild-ridden torment making him question if his quest, and life, will ever truly end.
