Jack To The Future

Jack’s back. And considering how he’s been popping up on the front page recently, we’re not the only ones who are a little excited. Genndy Tartakovsky's cult-classic is finally coming back to our TV screens! And we cannot wait. Season 5 will air this March and from what we hear, we can expect everything to be a little different compared to the last time we saw Jack.

In anticipation of all the awesomeness set to come, and considering it's been 13 years since we last saw him in action (seriously Jack, you could've at least called), we feel it is only right to take you on a trip down memory lane. Take it away, beautifully animated GIFs…

Jack is a lone wolf, questing through an evil future world with the end goal of returning to his life in the past. He's a dark and mysterious guy with the combat skills to pay the bills. And let's be honest, he's probably the only guy in the world who can pull off the man-bun/bath robe combo out in public.

Remember Aku? Don't be fooled by that cheeky grin. Let's not forget he also goes by the nickname 'the master of darkness'. Make no mistake - the guy is pure evil. He's the lord of the downvote fairies and Jack's number one nemesis.

Not content with enslaving the Emperor (Jack's dad) and his people, Aku proceeds to cast Jack into a dystopian future where he and his fiery eyebrows reign supreme.

If Jack finds himself in trouble, you can be sure that Aku is pulling the strings.

Aku is constantly pushing Jack to both his physical and psychological limits. Fortunately for the rest of us, whatever form the fighting takes, Genndy and his team put on a visual feast for sofa samurais everywhere.

Throughout the show, Jack's journeying takes him all across the planet (and what a beautifully animated planet it is, we might add). Everywhere our sweet samurai goes, he meets interesting characters and faces all sorts of weird and wonderful challenges.

Whether Jack is duelling one of Aku's terrible minions or starting a dance craze in a rave, our guy sure knows how to solve problems.

Jack will be punching his way across our screens on March 11th, 2017. So keep a little space in your diary for Adult Swim.

And in anticipation of Season 5, Genndy Tartakovsky (the man we can also thank for Dexter’s Laboratory and Star Wars: Clone Wars) has offered to answer Imgurians’ questions. So while you’re waiting for Jack’s return, why not leave a question in the comments below and we’ll share his answers in a future post.
