I took out the bit about how Samurai Jack has influenced the Incredibles credits and the X's. Really, guys, that's just silly. Does Ward Kimball or Mary Blair sound familiar to any of you? Little Leota 22:01, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

"The Scotsman even saves Jack when Jack loses his memory due to the Sirens (whose songs have no effect on the Scotsman, as he compares their singing to "someone stepping on a lot o' cats". In a running gag with The Scotsman, he compares their singing to his wife's, which, according to him, is beyond perfection.)" Too many pronouns with not enough antecedents.

I'd like to add the following somewhere in the article, but (a) can't find the proper place to add it, and (b) not sure whether it's appropriately NPOV (I obviously feel it's accurate, but that could be my POV speaking):
What do you think? -- Gutza T T+ 00:18, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
Fair enough; as stated in the introductory paragraph above, that's one of the reasons why I asked before adding. Ok, can we find a NPOV way of delivering a "weaker" version of that idea? It is verifiable after all that the music includes a good deal for low-frequency sounds, that the voices are humorously well-chosen (I'm talking mostly about the accents), that the environmental sounds are well-engineered (footsteps, etc), and that the acting is good, no? -- Gutza T T+ 11:00, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
It says that no movie has been produced but I have the movie on VHS right now (2006) and I have had it for a while now. But it seems that it is more of a prequel. Is this the movie that they are refering to???? 65.60.164.62 18:55, 27 August 2006 (UTC)(Jtervin just not signed in)

Samurai Jack was included (somewhere in the 20's) on Channel Four's 100 Greatest Cartoons show. This should probably be included in the "Reception" subsection. Kelvingreen 19:55, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

I've removed some comments in the section about an episode where Jack interacts with Spartan warriors. A previous user had added reference to the Miller comics on the topic of Battle of Thermopylae (and the movie 300) in a way that noted the similar topic that the cartoon and comic focused on, but did not demonstrate that there was in fact any influence by Miller's work on the SJ show. Subsequent edits had tried to refine these comments a bit, but I'm afraid the effect is worse: "perhaps coincidentally" is exceedingly weasel-wordy. While the article does demonstrate that Tartakovsky has mentioned being influenced by Miller's "Ronin," no evidence of a connection between Miller's 300 and Samurai Jack is shown. Let's, then, leave this bit out until some source comes up that can demonstrate an influence. The Spartans have entered into foundational myth and legend in western culture, and are referenced frequently on many fronts - we should be warry of trying to crowbar a specific connection between two instances of this unless we can find a clear source for it.

I added info on the shows Emmy history in the form of a Wiki table. I based it on the details at the IMDB's award page for this show, and cross referenced with the Award Search tool at the emmy Website, so while I can't find too many sources to easily cite yet everything lines up. I just kind of made it on the fly, so any ideas for improvements? Also, should we also add details on it's performance at the Annie Awards? It's supposed to be a big deal to people in the animation field, but I personally haven't heard of them before. Hewinsj 01:12, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
I've rated this article as B class - most of the important information is present but there are a few tags that need to be resolved.

I always see people talking about how external links have to meet certain qualifications.

I'm have nothing against the site but it's one of many sites that really have no business being named on Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Megagents ( talk • contribs) 21:10, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
Why is the UK version of the Cartoon Network minisite listed in the external links, and not the US version? Samurai Jack is an American cartoon. Unless this was the best English-language "official" site at the time this link was added (Cartoon Network does seem to reconfigure their sites quite often), I don't see why this link was not included. Having said that, if we do add the American version to the links section, should the other link be removed? As of the time I write this, the .com site has more informative content than the .co.uk site. B7T ( talk) 19:36, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
The article mentions an homage to Samurai Jack in a defunct internet cartoon called Bonus Stage, but the hyperlink for this term leads to the article for the video game concept with the same name. Is there an article on Wikipedia about the cartoon? If not, perhaps the brackets should be removed from the term. B7T ( talk) 19:43, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
The 'popular culture in Samurai Jack' section is junk - just trivia & POV analogies. Since the only citations are to the show itself, I'm assuming that these statements of what something is a reference too are just observations by whoever wrote this (I.E. original research / POV). Unless they can be verified with a third-party source drawing these comparisons, they should be deleted. Weasel Fetlocks ( talk) 17:04, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

I think she should be included as a secondary character since like her husband appears in more then one episode and might as well play a key part in it other then being his mom, like rescuing young Jack from Aku(samurai Jack)'s destruction on his country, Japan, and giving him his sword.

I was looking back at episodes of Samurai Jack and came across an episode in which an animal like hunter is attacking Jack... I believe his name was "Huntor." I didn't think about it much until I recently saw an episode of Dexter's Lab. This same lion like hunter in the Samurai Jack previously appeared in the short Dial M for Monkey. I was just wondering why this was not in the article... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.43.212.51 ( talk) 12:43, August 21, 2007 (UTC)
I'd like to get a timeframe as to the events of Samurai Jack, because it seems like an important piece of information. I remember in Season 1 Episode 3 near the beginning, the dogs Jack is talking to use a device that detects how old his particles are, dating him as "25 B.A." (Before Aku). I believe this means he was 25 years old when Aku took over/first reappeared. It may also mean that 25 years lapsed between Jack fighting Aku and Aku taking over the world (either his particles were pulled out of the timeline 25 years before Aku took over the world, or he was 25 years old when Aku came back).
He also fights an ancient viking warrior in Season 1 Episode 10. At 11:23 he says "A millennia has passed, and now my goal is within my grasp". At 16:02 he says "Through countless eons I lay still" (before he was able to control lava). This means that it has been at least 1,000 years since Aku took over, but may have been much longer depending on his meaning. It's hard to be sure, but he could be saying "A millennia has passed" since he was defeated by Aku, or "A Millennia has passed" since he gained control of lava and set up his traps (i.e. a millennia since he formulated his plan). This places the time since Aku sent Jack forward in time between 1,000 years and "countless eons" + 1,000 years.
One last point to consider is that dogs have had time to evolve into intelligent animals. Whether naturally or by manipulation of other species/Aku is impossible to say, but does imply a long time. 98.127.168.159 ( talk) 06:44, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

A couple related articles and interviews that I've been able to find. Could be put to use in the article.
Hi, ( The Devil's Advicate), I was looking at the article after being away from it, and I noticed that an edit that I made mentioning Fan Sites a couple of weeks ago had been removed by Paper Luigi as not "encyclopedic or noteworthy," then reverted by another, anonymous reader. However, you yourself RE-removed the revert using the justification that "these are not reliable sources."
I wanted to know why you consider these sources, all real fan sites with references given, as unreliable. I would revert the edit again on my own but I fear that it would turn the whole thing into an edit-war. I would rather hear from you, and perhaps find a way to get you to just restore the section yourself. If you want to know my own history at Wikipedia, of course, you can just look me up. Thanks! Playerpage ( talk) 20:24, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
But why not mention them? I'm sorry, I fail to see how they would not be significant. The whole purpose of the section [Other Media] is to mention ways in which the show has moved beyond television. By your standard, the video games of Samurai Jack should not be mentioned, or really, its comics. Yes, these were created by professionals, but they became possible because of the fans who supported the show. And it is definitely the fans, as noted by Gennedy, who have kept the show alive in the minds of the media to the point that a movie deal is still being discussed, even today. Cheers!

The overview/story/plot section already takes up a third of the article, which is probably pushing MOS:PLOT: "The length of a plot summary should be carefully balanced with the length of the other sections." I'd say it's reached a point it doesn't need to be more specific, and some parts of the section should be moved into a different or new section, sourced to reliable sources, for example the discussion of the art style and settings.

Unfortunately, yes. Samurai Jack is, for a fact, the second Cartoon Network original series to move to Adult Swim. The first one was originally Space Ghost Coast to Coast.-- 2601:2C0:C280:1720:ED08:D4B1:C471:159B ( talk) 21:58, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

Can we give Seasons 1, 2, 3, & 4 their own pages?
After all, Season 5 of Samurai Jack has its own page, and it just seems strange for it to be the only one. Austin012599 ( talk) 21:35, 15 July 2017 (UTC)
I think they are a distinctly notable topic.
Despite Season 5 being made long after the first 4 seasons, they're all part of the same series.
Besides that, shows like My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Spongebob Squarepants, and Wordgirl have their own pages for their seasons. Each season being separate from the other. So why don't we do the same with every season of Samurai Jack? Austin012599 ( talk) 20:36, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

Uhh not really, some of the characters do have articles like Darth Vader to Jar Jar Binks, and I'm not trying to say that it should be fully detailed, but should include specific characters in like Main Characters and Recurring Characters with a few sentences like the Dilbert characters. If not a page, please why not a heading for the cast who voiced them like the Last Jedi movie which had 1-2 sentences. 2605:E000:C7CB:1000:28C4:B2C:DFB0:5B6F ( talk) 02:23, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
The genres listed in the infobox are quoted from the references. Any changes (for example, changing "action-adventure" to "Action and Adventure" or "sci-fi-fantasy" to "science fiction and fantasy") need to be cited. Reason for "action-adventure": " Combining action, adventure, comedy and great character interaction [...]." Reason for "sci-fi-fantasy": "Tartakovsky’s imaginative riffs on familiar material, from storybook fantasy to edgy sci-fi." Samurai Jack has elements of science-fiction but its plots do not revolve around science fiction. Same with fantasy. It is both focused on action scenes, and focused on adventure by way of traveling. Hence "action-adventure sci-fi fantasy". Bright☀ 11:46, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

Why is the UK version of the Cartoon Network minisite listed in the external links, and not the US version? Samurai Jack is an American cartoon. Unless this was the best English-language "official" site at the time this link was added (Cartoon Network does seem to reconfigure their sites quite often), I don't see why this link was not included. Having said that, if we do add the American version to the links section, should the other link be removed? As of the time I write this, the .com site has more informative content than the .co.uk site. B7T ( talk) 19:36, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
The article mentions an homage to Samurai Jack in a defunct internet cartoon called Bonus Stage, but the hyperlink for this term leads to the article for the video game concept with the same name. Is there an article on Wikipedia about the cartoon? If not, perhaps the brackets should be removed from the term. B7T ( talk) 19:43, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
The 'popular culture in Samurai Jack' section is junk - just trivia & POV analogies. Since the only citations are to the show itself, I'm assuming that these statements of what something is a reference too are just observations by whoever wrote this (I.E. original research / POV). Unless they can be verified with a third-party source drawing these comparisons, they should be deleted. Weasel Fetlocks ( talk) 17:04, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

I think she should be included as a secondary character since like her husband appears in more then one episode and might as well play a key part in it other then being his mom, like rescuing young Jack from Aku(samurai Jack)'s destruction on his country, Japan, and giving him his sword. So please think about including her on the list of scondary characters.Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.54.71.51 ( talk) 22:06, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

I was looking back at episodes of Samurai Jack and came across an episode in which an animal like hunter is attacking Jack... I believe his name was "Huntor." I didn't think about it much until I recently saw an episode of Dexter's Lab. This same lion like hunter in the Samurai Jack previously appeared in the short Dial M for Monkey. I was just wondering why this was not in the article... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.43.212.51 ( talk) 12:43, August 21, 2007 (UTC)
I'd like to get a timeframe as to the events of Samurai Jack, because it seems like an important piece of information. I remember in Season 1 Episode 3 near the beginning, the dogs Jack is talking to use a device that detects how old his particles are, dating him as "25 B.A." (Before Aku). I believe this means he was 25 years old when Aku took over/first reappeared. It may also mean that 25 years lapsed between Jack fighting Aku and Aku taking over the world (either his particles were pulled out of the timeline 25 years before Aku took over the world, or he was 25 years old when Aku came back).
He also fights an ancient viking warrior in Season 1 Episode 10. At 11:23 he says "A millennia has passed, and now my goal is within my grasp". At 16:02 he says "Through countless eons I lay still" (before he was able to control lava). This means that it has been at least 1,000 years since Aku took over, but may have been much longer depending on his meaning. It's hard to be sure, but he could be saying "A millennia has passed" since he was defeated by Aku, or "A Millennia has passed" since he gained control of lava and set up his traps (i.e. a millennia since he formulated his plan). This places the time since Aku sent Jack forward in time between 1,000 years and "countless eons" + 1,000 years.
One last point to consider is that dogs have had time to evolve into intelligent animals. Whether naturally or by manipulation of other species/Aku is impossible to say, but does imply a long time. 98.127.168.159 ( talk) 06:44, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

A couple related articles and interviews that I've been able to find. Could be put to use in the article.
Hi, ( The Devil's Advicate), I was looking at the article after being away from it, and I noticed that an edit that I made mentioning Fan Sites a couple of weeks ago had been removed by Paper Luigi as not "encyclopedic or noteworthy," then reverted by another, anonymous reader. However, you yourself RE-removed the revert using the justification that "these are not reliable sources."
I wanted to know why you consider these sources, all real fan sites with references given, as unreliable. I would revert the edit again on my own but I fear that it would turn the whole thing into an edit-war. I would rather hear from you, and perhaps find a way to get you to just restore the section yourself. If you want to know my own history at Wikipedia, of course, you can just look me up. Thanks! Playerpage ( talk) 20:24, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
But why not mention them? I'm sorry, I fail to see how they would not be significant. The whole purpose of the section [Other Media] is to mention ways in which the show has moved beyond television. By your standard, the video games of Samurai Jack should not be mentioned, or really, its comics. Yes, these were created by professionals, but they became possible because of the fans who supported the show. And it is definitely the fans, as noted by Gennedy, who have kept the show alive in the minds of the media to the point that a movie deal is still being discussed, even today. Cheers!

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Samurai Jack/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.
3 images, 20 citations, enough to get a possible GA class, still needs a cleanup.

The overview/story/plot section already takes up a third of the article, which is probably pushing MOS:PLOT: "The length of a plot summary should be carefully balanced with the length of the other sections." I'd say it's reached a point it doesn't need to be more specific, and some parts of the section should be moved into a different or new section, sourced to reliable sources, for example the discussion of the art style and settings.

Unfortunately, yes. Samurai Jack is, for a fact, the second Cartoon Network original series to move to Adult Swim. The first one was originally Space Ghost Coast to Coast.-- 2601:2C0:C280:1720:ED08:D4B1:C471:159B ( talk) 21:58, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

Can we give Seasons 1, 2, 3, & 4 their own pages?
After all, Season 5 of Samurai Jack has its own page, and it just seems strange for it to be the only one. Austin012599 ( talk) 21:35, 15 July 2017 (UTC)
I think they are a distinctly notable topic.
Despite Season 5 being made long after the first 4 seasons, they're all part of the same series.
Besides that, shows like My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Spongebob Squarepants, and Wordgirl have their own pages for their seasons. Each season being separate from the other. So why don't we do the same with every season of Samurai Jack? Austin012599 ( talk) 20:36, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

Types of mythological or fantastic beings in contemporary fiction is a page of, well, fantasy works (movie, TV, written, whatever) and the assorted mythological and/or fantastic critters they contain.

Shouldn't there be a page or heading for the characters that appear in the franchise as nearly every other franchise has at least several characters listed. 2605:E000:C7CB:1000:54B1:BB01:6806:5C38 ( talk) 18:56, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

Uhh not really, some of the characters do have articles like Darth Vader to Jar Jar Binks, and I'm not trying to say that it should be fully detailed, but should include specific characters in like Main Characters and Recurring Characters with a few sentences like the Dilbert characters. If not a page, please why not a heading for the cast who voiced them like the Last Jedi movie which had 1-2 sentences. 2605:E000:C7CB:1000:28C4:B2C:DFB0:5B6F ( talk) 02:23, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
The genres listed in the infobox are quoted from the references. Any changes (for example, changing "action-adventure" to "Action and Adventure" or "sci-fi-fantasy" to "science fiction and fantasy") need to be cited. Reason for "action-adventure": " Combining action, adventure, comedy and great character interaction [...]." Reason for "sci-fi-fantasy": "Tartakovsky’s imaginative riffs on familiar material, from storybook fantasy to edgy sci-fi." Samurai Jack has elements of science-fiction but its plots do not revolve around science fiction. Same with fantasy. It is both focused on action scenes, and focused on adventure by way of traveling. Hence "action-adventure sci-fi fantasy". Bright☀ 11:46, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
