New Feature: Restore Honor (Launch, Resurgence) ![]() The last squad standing wins no matter how many redeploys they needed to stay in the match, so be prepared for a relentless battle. This countdown grows longer with each circle collapse until the final few circles - where all redeploys, save for those bought through a Buy Station - are disabled. This countdown can be shortened by your squadmates if they perform specific in-game actions such as eliminating enemies, which incentivizes aggressive play. When this countdown hits zero, they will redeploy to the DZ. In this mode, if a squad member is eliminated while one or more squad members are still alive, a countdown will appear beside their name. So what did you think? Do you prefer the new ending or the original? Let us know in the comments below.Ashika Island is the perfect size for Resurgence, a frenetic game mode returning from the original Call of Duty®: Warzone™.Īvailable for all squad sizes – Solos, Duos, Trios, and Quads – within regular Playlist updates throughout the season, Resurgence allows for multiple respawns as long as one squad member is still standing. ![]() Ashi lives, Jack is finally happy, and the world of Samurai Jack is free of Aku. And maybe seeing it play out won Genndy over for this alternative ending? He has answered this in interviews, but I feel that argument will probably stick around for a bit.Įither way, I am satisfied. Was it fan backlash over Ashi’s death or did the developer want to make a game that fit the story. Often, Genndy Tartakovsky sticks with his guns on his creations, so I would have to wonder why this was added in now. To change something so final in a series like Samurai Jack is both surprising and interesting from a series standpoint. So Ashi surviving being a canon ending for me is probably the best thing that could have happened to the franchise, but even then, it’s still a divisive change almost three years after the fact. So I would say it’s mostly up to personal preference. ![]() Some fans just want that solid ending, and this does put a little wrench into the works., But there are others who are fine with seperate mediums adding onto the story. Given how people consume media differently, this can create confusion in what is considered canon. So at that point, the sky’s the limit, anything is possible, and we would be here all night arguing the logic of time travel and timelines.Īlso, if one doesn’t play the game does the ending still count? Now many would probably say that doesn’t the game override the end of Season Five since Genndy mentioned it was canon? I would say no, since (unbeknownst to me) there were 50 seconds between Jack leaving and reappearing in the past. Jack would either be looking forward to a better tomorrow despite Ashi’s fading out of existence or doing so with her. Timelines two and three would not take away from the symbolic aspect of hope that was in the final season, but would only change its profoundness. Ashi Lives – The best ending (Fight me in the comments □ ).Ashi Dies – Jack moves forward with hope of a better tomorrow.Aku’s Timeline – Where Aku rules over the world and the universe.Time travel always creates these issues, but to break it down, you could see three possible timelines now. So one could argue that the whole game only exists as a potential outcome rather than a true fixed end. Since the game occurs outside the flow of time in a “Well of Time.” it exists in a sort of null state with Aku being able to act within it due to his powers. What is canon in Samurai Jack? Given how time travel always creates problems, the best course of action would be to consider both as the true ending. Though this revelation from the video game creates another issue. If I were in Jack’s position back then, I would have cursed everyone in my path them all. Especially given that you would think that Ra, Odin, and Vishnu could have given him peace after all he went through to kill Aku. I felt it was a pretty big kick to Jack’s…spirit. So having her just vanish due to whatever reason you can come up with, be it time line shenanigans, her connection with Aku, or because Jack’s journey was supposed to be one of constant sacrifice. She was Jack’s hope, and the only pillar of support he had ever found that truly helped him during his long fight against Aku. I was always bummed that Ashi got the short end of the stick regarding the end of season five. Colt Buhr August 29, 2020Īshi living is officially canon.
