Samurai Jack is a NPC in Cartoon Network Universe: FusionFall and its fan revivals. He is a time-traveling human samurai who had been thrown into the time stream by Aku centuries ago and now finds himself on the Earth in the present day.

The first person of Earth's heroes to encounter the spawns of Planet Fusion, Jack would put his quest to return to his own time aside when the Fusion Invasion began in earnest and help out his new allies. His wealth of experience, skill in battle and natural wisdom make him well-positioned to lead.

History

Jack watches as a Fusion comet passes his area.

While the first Fusion Comet lands on Earth, Jack is in the Darklands sitting on top of some sort of sauropod as the meteor hurtles past his area.

The Future

In the Future, Samurai Jack was fighting Fusion Monsters on top of a building in Tech Square. After being filled in by Ben and Numbuh Five, the hero heads off to save Dexter, who has been taken hostage by Fusion Buttercup. The hero engages in a furious battle, but in the end defeats the Buttercup copy-cat. As the ground rumbles, Dexter points the hero to the exit of the lair. Once out, Numbuh Two directs the hero to a S.C.A.M.P.E.R. so that they can make their escape. While racing towards the S.C.A.M.P.E.R., a Tech Wing attacks the hero. The hero counters the attack with the Buttercup Nano, using her stunning ability. The two successfully escape Tech Square as it begins to destroy itself completely. The remaining heroes meet up in a unknown location where Buttercup, Numbuh Five, Jack himself, and Numbuh Two are present. Dexter fills them in on the battle (via Hologram). After the briefing Dexter orders the Hero to be taken to Hero Square, Sector V, where he trusts that Mandark and Numbuh Two will be able to rebuild the time machine for the hero to warp back to the past. The group loads into the S.C.A.M.P.E.R. and head to Sector V.

With the fixing of the Time Machine being a critical task, Jack offers to help the hero ease the difficult journey with a artifact that he knows of, the Temporal Stone, a artifact that will protect the player while on the trip through time. He orders the hero to get the stone from the Sewer Creeper in the Peach Creek Estate area. Once the stone is obtained, the hero returns to Jack for a reward.

While Eddy is making deliveries to heroes around the area, he sends the hero to deliver milk to Jack, claiming that the expiration date is on that very day. The hero rushes to find Jack in Goat's Junk Yard and deliver the milk before it expires. On arrival, the hero finds Jack and delivers the milk. Jack gratefully accepts it.

In the mission "Jack and the Giant Robot", Samurai Jack sends the player to see if Megas could be freed from his Fusion Matter prison in hopes of turning the tide of the war against Fuse. Unfortunately, there are no weak points in the Fusion Matter that's covering Megas, making it impossible to free the robot. Nevertheless, Jack thanks the player for their efforts.

The Past

Jack

Samurai Jack is the first person to have encountered the Fusion Spawns. He was also the first to have been copied to make a Fusion when the aforementioned Spawns stole one of his sandals. When the threat of the Fusion Spawns becomes strongly apparent, Jack temporarily sets aside his quest to return to his time to help defend the Earth from Fuse's forces, where his valor has earned him the respect of many, including Eduardo and Eddy.

In the Past, he is stationed alongside Tetrax aboard Mandark's floating research station in the Darklands. He is also the last original Adaptium Nano of the game. He hands out guide missions for both Dexter and Edd.

Jack handles most of the missions involving the creation of the Master Weapon. He directs the player to monsters that are acting berserk so the player can retrieve weapons from them. After the player gathers 21 weapons, Jack tells the player to retrieve some weapons from Demongo. Demongo warns the player that Jack wants to destroy the weapons. Jack says this is true, but he says destroying the weapons is the only way to create the Master Weapon. The player takes the weapons to the Dark Tree Clearing and destroys them. Jack reveals to the player that they are the Master Weapon and by giving up the the weapon's physical power, they have been imbued with the power of spirit. The player uses their newfound power to defeat the Fusion Eds.

Guide Missions

If the player chose Dexter as their guide, Jack helps the player to recover the lost souls of the missing superheroes. Jack believes it was Demongo who stole the missing souls. When the player confronts him, Demongo says it was Fusion Demongo who took the souls. The player takes the souls back from the Fusion and contains them within a sacred vessel. The player releases the souls into Monkey Mountain and revives the heroes. One of the souls was revealed to be a shadow fragment from Aku. Jack tells the player to find more shadow fragments at Fuse's Lair and destroy them to prevent Aku from entering their time.

If the player chose Edd as their guide, he helps the player destroy the Crazy Brain Candy stored underneath Fuse's Lair by melting it with Eyebore sap.

Other appearances

A set based on the space suit Jack wore in "Episode V: Jack in Space" can be obtained by completing guide missions for Dexter. Another set based on the armor he wore in "Episode III: The First Fight" can be acquired in the same way. There is also a Melee weapon based on the sword Jack used to fight off Aku in "XXX: Jack and the Zombies"

Origin

Samurai Jack, from Samurai Jack.

Samurai Jack (real name unknown) originates from the 2001 American animated action-adventure dystopian television series Samurai Jack. In that media, he is the titular protagonist of the show. A time-displaced samurai warrior from feudal Japan, Jack is regarded as the greatest warrior in history, having trained and honed his skills for his battle against Aku, a personification of primordial evil. Jack himself is a wise, noble, fearless and compassionate soul with righteous intentions. However, he is also selfless to a fault, as he keeps prolonging his mission by frequently putting the needs of others before his own.

The son of a Japanese emperor who had sealed Aku away years before with a mystical sword, Jack was sent away to train in the ways of the warrior when Aku returned and conquered his homeland. After finishing his training as a young adult, Jack took up his father's sword. Before he could slay Aku though, the evil entity sent Jack into the far future where Aku ruled all. Taking up the nickname "Jack", Jack traveled the world in search of a way back to the past and avert this dystopian future. After trying and failing for fifty years though, Jack lost his way. Fortunately, with the aid of his eventual love interest, Ashi, Jack had his resolve restored and got back to the past where he destroyed Aku with his father's sword, although his victory would come at the cost of Ashi's existence.

Trivia

• Jack is the only NPC to hand out Guide Missions for two different Guides.
• A running gag in the community is how the Samurai Jack Nano's "Rise of the Spirit" Nano Power should be called "Jump Good" as it is a well-known phrase from the show. In FusionFall Retro, the description for this Nano Power includes the phrase.
