This episode takes place during Jack's childhood. After Aku's first attack, Jack is brought to a tribe in Africa where he is admitted into the adult community after a small ritual and the chief of the village teaches him the art of fighting with a stick.
But an enemy tribe attacks the village in order to get a reward promised by Aku for Jack's capture and everyone is captured except for Jack. So he follows them, mastering the captors' weapon, using qualities of the animals he has observed to do so. After a difficult series of fights, Jack releases all the prisoners and with their help, the enemy tribe is defeated. At the end, Jack leaves the tribe because he is now considered to have learned all he can from them.
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 !
