- —Samurai Jack
Samurai Jack (real name unknown) is the main protagonist of the Samurai Jack series. He appeared in the 96th episode of Death Battle, Samurai Jack VS Afro Samurai, where he fought against Afro Samurai from the Afro Samurai series.
History
A prince from feudal-era Japan, this once nameless boy was the son of an emperor who used an enchanted sword created by the gods to seal away the dark, shapeshifting demon known as Aku. But the prince's whole world came crumbling down when Aku reemerged from his stasis and ravaged all he came in contact with, capturing the emperor in the process. The prince escaped the carnage and was sent to travel the world and undergo training before returning to his ruined homeland as an adult to receive his father's sword and end Aku. But before the prince could succeed, Aku created a time portal that sent the samurai into the hostile and lawless future that Earth has become under Aku's rule. Going by the name of "Jack", the samurai sought a means to return to his own time and defeat Aku before his reign can begin. Though his attempts would prove unfruitful for over half a century, with the effects of time travel preventing him from aging, Aku's persistent meddling, the pressure of constant assassins, and guilt-ridden torment making Jack question if his quest, and life, will ever truly end.
