What's this about a "soft reboot " tho? :lupe:

That doesn't mean much of anything. It's still in continuity with the rest of the series, they're just writing it in a way that you won't be too confused if you haven't watched the other seasons.

From what I've read Season 5 takes place 50 years after the end of Season 4, so it'll be an older more ruthless version of Jack and they'll probably explain what happened over the timeskip.



Similar to live-action TV show revivals/sequels like Fuller House and Girl Meets World from the past couple of years,Samurai Jack season 5 will “soft reboot” the franchise; allowing those who missed the season 4 finale and/or are only familiar with the basic premise of Samurai Jack to be able to keep up with things in season 5 from the get-go. Tartakovsky himself has indicated that a fair amount has changed in Jack’s world since last we saw him, having even described season 5 as a story about Jack searching for redemption and “trying to find who he is again.”

If that description makes Samurai Jack season 5 sound a bit more adult and mature in its thematic design than seasons past, that’s because it is – or so says Tartakovsky. The original artwork released for the revival season features Jack covered in blood and looking far more ragged than usual; something that reflects how there’s “more darkness” in season 5, according to Tartakovsky. That slight change in tone of Samurai Jack is not only indicative of the show’s new home on Cartoon Network being Adult Swim (which caters to a more adult crowd in general), but also the fact that the returning members of the Samurai Jack fanbase are older now themselves.
