The first three-fourths of the story is a monologue: a Terminator-like killer robot with human emotions tells us the story of his life. He formerly worked for Aku, but stopped because of his emotions and because he felt in love with a little dog.
But Aku kidnapped his dog and forces him to fight against Jack if he wants to see it again. He is tracking Jack and he is finally destroyed by the samurai His last words are for his puppy and Jack looks sadly at him. Then there is a close-up of his car and the last image of the episode is a photo of the dog.
On vous en parlait en 2019 : la série animée Primal de Genndy Tartakovsky (Samouraï Jack), diffusée sur Adult Swim, fait partie des pépites d’animation à rattraper d’urgence. Et il semblerait que la critique soit aussi de cet avis, car la série a remporté la récompense de la meilleure série animée aux derniers Emmy Awards. Primal a ainsi battu des mastodontes comme Les Simpson, South Park, Bob’s Burger et Big Mouth. 10 nouveaux épisodes sont attendus d’ici la fin de l’année sur Adult Swim !
