I told you all, we were going to go back.
Back to the past, Samurai Jack.
Samurai Jack first premiered on August 10, 2001.
This was the story was of a young samurai being sent into the destroyed future by Aku,
the shapeshifting demonic, devil thing I still don’t know what he is to this day.
Anyways, the future is in the palm of Aku because he took over while Samurai Jack was
flying through time.
Now he has to go back and fix the past that Aku had destroyed.
Which when you think about it, if he goes back in time to fix the past, that won’t
change the future because the future had already happened, so going back in time won’t change
the future that’s already messed up.
But that’s a video for another time, maybe not I kinda of just summed up the whole video.
So the only thing I could do is just make a long video that just gets to the same point.
BUT THAT’S NOT WHY WE’RE HERE.
We’re here to find out how strong our time warrior is.
Welcome to the Outside of series, where I go through and over analyze everything and
add to a list of feats for a specific character to see how strong are they in their respective
franchise.
Now, Kaleb how exactly are we going to be going over this.
Well to see “How Strong is” something is way more than just strength alone.
You want to take into account things like strength, speed, and durability.
So when showing you guys the feats, I’ll also give you context so you’ll be able
understand why he’s able to do that because some feats actually have the episode circulate
around them.
If the feat doesn’t have any reasoning behind it, then he’s always been able to do it.
But now, let’s get into this.
For strength, let’s start off with Episode 11 of Season 1, Jack and the Scotsman.
With what looked like a squat jump, he had jumped I’d say at least more than 10 feet.
This actually isn’t a trained jump meaning he hadn’t trained with his jumping yet in
the show, this is actually how high Jack could jump.
Nothing enhanced whatsoever, and he has 5 plus feet on the highest vertical jump in
history.
Also Jack states that the force from sword and the jump should’ve destroyed any sword.
We also had seen him cut through metal before this episode so regular metal obviously isn’t
a difficult thing against him.
The reason why the sword itself wasn’t destroyed was because The Scotsman’s sword had that
CELTIC MAGIC.
Also in that same episode, with the combined jumping power of The Scotsman and Jack, they
jumped around 20 feet plus twice.
So that was before Jack had trained his jumping, now we’re getting into Episode 1 of Season
2.
In the episode Jack trades training of self defense for training of his jump skill.
He undergoes training by this monkeyman and his tribe, and I can tell you that the training
regimen is a pretty difficult one.
Alright so right off of the bat, he lifts this boulder that was obviously supposed to
crush him, but had not because you know, toon forces.
I estimated this boulder to be about 13.125 tons or 26 thousand and 250 pounds.
It gets to the point of where he’s effortlessly carrying more than 13 tons and jumps around
like it’s nothing.
Well after undergoing the training, Jack has his head in the clouds.
Literally.
He jumps from the ground to the top of these trees that are almost touching the clouds.
Clouds are generally 3 miles from the ground, so I really want to take not his jumping height
into account, but how tall are these trees.
It didn’t look like he was jumping with as much effort as he did to jump from ground
to the top of those trees.
So let’s estimate it to say that the trees are around 3 thousand meters tall, and he’s
jumping around 1.6k meters with ease at the top.
But regardless, to jump up to those trees would still be around 3 thousand meters.
Now for Episode 4 of Season 2.
Jack throws an alien over the shoulder using a technique commonly used in Judo.
Now throwing over the shoulder is way easier than lifting the opponent and throwing them.
You’re using your back as a pivot point so lifting larger people wouldn’t be as
difficult.
But over the shoulder throws are generally supposed to throw the opponent on the ground
in front of you, Jack threw the alien across the room.
Jack uses this same throw style when throwing a scotsman.
Reason for this is because he couldn’t throw a stone he could barely lift, but he knew
he could use the throw technique on the scotsman.
The scotsman had said he weighed about 40 stones, so by that logic it sounded like it
was about 40 of the stones Jack was struggling with.
But actually he had meant he weighed 40 stones as in stones, the weight unit.
Stone is a weight unit commonly used in Ireland and it’s 14 pounds for 1 stone, which converting
40 stone is about 280 pounds.
You would this guy would weight more than 280 pounds, these are like juggernauts compared
to football players but there’s a lot of football players more than 280 pounds.
Now onto speed, I know it didn’t seem much for strength but this actually going to be
circulating around Season 1 and 2.
I’m going to be making a part 2 of this going over Season 3 and 4.
I would do one on 5, but man I’m just enjoying it right now to be honest and it’s also
not finished.
Going back to episode 11 of Season 1, we go to the clash between the Scotsman and Samurai
Jack.
I was wondering exactly how fast Samurai Jack was swinging his sword, and how fast the Scotsman
was counterattacking.
So I had ended up working on how it exactly worked with the distance and the time it took
for each slash.
It ended up to be about 123 mph for each slash when it came to these metal clinging moments
in the episode.
Now again for Episode 4, Season 2.
I thought it was pretty funny that he dipped so fast that it left his food suspended in
air.
But to run away so fast that gravity doesn’t have enough time to react then that’s just
crazy.
Later on in the show when rescuing the Scotsman wife, you have this all out brawl which was
Jack, the Scotsman, versus a ridiculous amount of robots.
The range of his slashes didn’t really change much from my original calc so I’m still
supporting that his average range of 123mph.
Episode 5, Season 2.
Now there have been previous episodes where Jack has outran bullets before, but I’m
highlighting this moment in specific.
I’d also like to say that outrunning tracking of bullets doesn’t mean you’re faster
than bullets but means that you’re either just faster whoever is shooting’s reactions
or they actually just can’t aim.
But in this video these robots were specifically engineered to counterattack Jack, and for
a majority of the episode they really did.
You have Jack outrunning and dodging the tracking of these robots and he gets away, he gets
beaten up for a bit, but he does end up getting away.
And to finish up speed, episode 9, season 2.
Aku had hired the best hunters in the galaxy to track down Jack and when being pushed to
the edge, all his friends are dead.
*music stops* Uh, yeah sorry I’ve been listening to a
lot of music lately.
I meant to say while being pushed to the edge, one of the hunters, you can call them the
Imakandi.
Shoots an arrow which generally almost get to about 200 mph and this is pretty close,
I’m not sure what exactly is considered point blank, but I’d say pretty close to
it if it’s not exactly point blank.
Now for durability, this has to be all toon force.
I’m going to be fully honest with you guys, I was massively confused with Jack getting
hurt because I didn’t believe that it was possible.
Let me show you why.
We went over the episode but episode 1 of season 2, he survives a 26 thousand pound
boulder falling on him.
That much weight could just crush so many people, but when it comes to Jack nah that’s
just a really big backpack.
In episode 3 of season 2, you have Jack in this type of Mad Max type of territory, fighting
to live.
After beating a few people, they put Jack against Sumoto.
Who I quote to be, 700 tons.
That’s 14 million pounds if my conversion isn’t broken.
Now along with being 14 million pounds, he’s 4 times taller than him, and he jumps around
like what, 50 feet in the air?
Then he directly falls onto Jack?
Yeah, you’re not killing Jack with a crushing force I can tell you that, not sure about
now Jack but before Jack was very intertwined with the toon force.
Now for the last episode to go over, episode 7 of season 2.
So Jack had questioned his efforts on the whole, going back, back to the past, samurai
Jack.
Uhh, ok nevermind that.
But basically, in this episode he wants to reach the top of the mountain to receive power
that he had believed to be up there.
Turns out the power was his will all along, but this is what had happened to him to reach
the top.
Well there’s the abominable snowman and you would think that he’s a pretty cool
guy but.
So you have this rock and face scraping, the cold of the mountain, and being crushed again.
But he survived 700 tons so it doesn’t really matter when you have something so small compared
to that.
There’s not a lot you could do to Jack in the earlier seasons, he’s a toon force to
be reckoned with.
He could defeat almost everyone, just never Aku because you know he always runs away and
ends the episode like.
“I’ll be back Samurai.”
Thank you guys for watching, part 2 will be up later on.
I don’t want to give an exact date because anything can happen to where I don’t end
up posting it on that day.
I would like if you guys use the amazon link in the description and bookmark it for future
purchases, it supports me for no extra cost to
what you were originally buying already.
But until the next one guys, peace out, and god speed.
