The Top Ten

Tale of X49

Poignant and maybe a drop of tear if you know this episode was the saddest of the show.

One of the darkest and saddest episodes that isn't afraid to give us a downer ending.
Jack and the Spartans

If you noticed similarities to Frank Miller's 300, that's because it is based on the same source material!
Jack and the Zombies

An eerie atmosphere combined with a nonstop exciting fight that shows Aku's fight skills.
Jack vs. the Ninja

Awesome use of two opposing colors to depict samurai light vs ninja shadow. One of the best fight sequences with great music and visuals.
Jack and the Smackback
The Birth of Evil

Aku's fight with Jack's father was badass.

My personal favorite from the original series.
XCVIII

Action, tension, and revelations. This episode has everything and everything to truly mark the turning point of the revival. Through a series of physical and mental challenges, and both Jack and Ashi conquering oneself and their past, now the revival is finally set up for the grand series finale to end all series finales.

This is where season 5 starts to really get intense. Especially when Ashi fights off everybody *spoiler when Jack is meditating, his anger hallucination blinded into finally sees what kept him back. The three monk gods appear to give him a new sword. Holy crap! It's time to find Aku!

Ladies and gentlemen, we have just finished the penultimate episode of Samurai Jack and are now approaching the series finale as of the time I write this comment. In this episode, what began as a light-hearted and engaging relationship between Jack and Ashi, continuing from the previous episode, slowly and gradually turned into one of the biggest plot twists in animation yet. With Ashi now having been turned against Jack against her will under the essence of Aku that runs through her body ever since she was born, Jack is now put to his greatest challenge yet that rivals even that of protecting a baby from danger.
With this episode concluding on a tragic and depressing cliffhanger, Episode C will pit you in a series of twists and emotions that will precede the true final episode of Samurai Jack.
Jack and the Haunted House

The animation is very chilling, almost like watching a horror film.
Jack and the Rave
Jack and the Scotsman

The interaction between these polar opposites is hilarious.
CI

Overall, while it did feel a bit rushed, CI was nonetheless still a phenomenal episode. The series finale was truly well done in terms of its execution aside from being rushed. And I must say, the ending is quite bittersweet yet satisfying as it finally concludes the show on a good and high note.

I must say that this episode was quite horny. Horny, but in a relatively good way. The animation was state-of-the-art as usual, the humor was top-notch, and the action was great as always. The only thing I suppose that could be polarizing to the Samurai Jack fandom would be the ending to this episode. Regardless, the episode was still good nonetheless.
