Review:

Can Samurai Jack ever defeat his nemesis the evil Aku without his sword? That's what this story is about, following a mishap with a spell cast by Soule to get Jack back home, Jack's sword was broken which left him vulnerable.

Once, Aku found out that Jack was without his sword he issued a bounty out on him. With his image plastered everywhere, Jack had no choice but to go into hiding. However, during one journey into town he ran into some trouble which lead to Aku later on being able to track him down.

After Jack escaped he found himself being judged for the destruction of the sword by the ones who forged it. Is Jack worthy to even have the sword?

This was a good story because you get to see the strength and determination of Samurai Jack as well as seeing that with or without his sword he is still the same person, someone who is ready to fight for justice.
