Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time (Credit: Adult Swim Games) SYFY WIRE now has an exclusive featurette from the game with voiceover artist, Tara Strong, explaining how Ashi fits into this videogame adventure, and how her character continues to spur Jack to his ultimate destiny in the mythology of the world. It was only on their forced travels together, that the enemies turned into lovers. Ashi was the last assassin standing, and Jack spared her. All were raised with one purpose: to eliminate Jack no matter what. In case you need a referesher, Ashi was one of the seven Daughters of Aku. In particular, the game stages a reunion (of sorts) for Ashi and Jack that is entirely in keeping with their relationship in the fifth season of the series. The game's narrative is a brand-new story from the minds of Tartakovsky and his Jack co-writer, Darrick Bachman. Romantics hated it, but those well-versed in the inherent tragedy of samurai tales appreciated creator Genndy Tartakovsky’s fealty to the ancient tropes of the genre.īut the upcoming release of Adult Swim Game’s canon video game, Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time, is giving fans the chance to not only play Jack revisiting his adventures through time, but also to reunite with beloved characters, like Ashi.

For some, it was extremely bittersweet because Jack ( Phil LaMarr) finally found the love of his life, Ashi (Tara Strong), only to lose her due to the results of a time paradox. Three years ago, Samurai Jack, the seemingly forever traveling hero of the eponymously named Cartoon Network series, finally found his ending.
