American animated action-adventure dystopian series by Genndy Tartakovsky for Cartoon Network and Adult Swim. Took inspiration from Kung Fu 1972 televised drama starring David Carradine, as well as Tartakovsky's fascination with samurai culture and the Frank Miller comic series Ronin.
An unnamed Japanese Samurai Prince who wields a mystic katana capable of cutting through virtually anything.
He sets out to free his kingdom after it is taken over by an evil, shapeshifting demon lord known as Aku.
The two engage in a fierce battle, but just as the prince is about to deal the final strike, Aku sends him forward in time to a dystopian future ruled by the tyrannical demon.
Adopting the name "Jack" after being addressed as such by beings in this time period, he quests to travel back to his own time and defeat Aku before he can take over the world. Jack's search for a way back to his own time period transcends Aku's control, but Jack's efforts are largely in vain due to the way back to his home ending up just out of his reach.
