Could it be that Jack's world had no Powerpuff Girls and Townsville fell under Aku's rule as a result? Or perhaps that Aku even killed Jack's versions of the trio? Whatever the case, seeing the Powerpuff Girls and Samurai Jack have an official connection raises dark questions about the history of both universes. Discovering that the two worlds are potentially variants of one another puts the ruined billboard from Samurai Jack in a much darker light. The Powerpuff Girls’ world is one filled with monsters and superpowered villains, much like Jack’s. It makes a lot of sense that Jack’s world is an alternate version of Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup’s. While the jury is still out on those particular connections, one thing that can be gleaned from this issue is that Jack may actually be on a variant of the Powerpuff Girls' Earth. In addition to the billboard seen in Jack’s show, fans have theorized that the mysterious Chemical X that gave the girls their powers is connected to Aku or that Professor Utonium is a potential variant for Samurai Jack. A similar multi-story format would be later used in Episode XLIX: The Four Seasons of Death.Fans have long speculated that the Powerpuff Girls has to have some relationship with Samurai Jack.Jeff Bennett, who voices the Gargoyle, also voiced another gargoyle character named Brooklyn in the Disney TV series Gargoyles.The way Jack changes his answer from blue to red is a reference to Galahad doing the same in the film. When the worms ask Jack what his favorite color is, this is a reference to a similar scene from the comedy film Monty Python and the Holy Grail, in which Sir Lancelot and Sir Galahad are asked what their favorite colors are by a bridge keeper, who demands that King Arthur and his knights correctly answer three questions each before crossing the Bridge of Death.One of the worms is voiced by renowned English actor Tim Curry.After spending some time thinking, Jack finally smiles and wishes that they were both free. She then expresses her sadness, saying that they will never be free. Then, the fairy tells Jack that the only way the key could have worked is with secret magic words that only the now-dead gargoyle knew. The gargoyle assaults Jack and gets killed by him after a short fight. Unfortunately, he wakes the gargoyle up after in a vain attempt to unlock the ball with the key and making too much noise by doing so. However, they have gained the ability to walk upright, using their front paws as hands complete with opposable thumbs, enhanced intelligence. The archaeologists resemble their quadrupedal ancestors in size, appearance, and in certain characteristics, such as wagging their tails. Jack decides to steal the key, which is worn by the gargoyle as a necklace, and succeeds. The Canine Archaeologists are a species of advanced canines who first appear in Episode II: The Samurai Called Jack. Once Jack climbs the tower, he finds out that the fairy is inside a magic ball and the gargoyle is sleeping, thus he tries to take the fairy out by his hand, only to have it get stuck in the ball as well. Jack confronts a greedy gargoyle and tries to rescue a wish-giving fairy from the tower. Story 3: Jack, the Gargoyle, and the Fairy After the family members realize that they're all made out of metal, they begin to attack and eat each other, leading to their own demise. They suddenly attack him and make several attempts to eat his sword, Jack fights back and slashes the mother's face with his blade, resulting in the skin of her face being torn off, exposing the metallic skeleton under it.

Jack realizes this as he finds himself in the worms stomach surrounded by several old men who were also tricked by the worm.Īt night, Jack confronts a 'family' of cannibal robots who hunger for his magic sword. The right head proceeds to swallow Jack, while the left head reveals that both heads are liars and they aren't magic at all. Jack concludes that the right head is the magic worm since if he were the truthful worm, he would truthfully say what his lying brother would say, and if he were the lying worm he would lie the opposite of what his brother said. After thinking it over, Jack asks If you were your brother, which one would you say is the magic worm? The right head answers that it would be the left one. If he guesses wrong, he will be slowly digested over 500 years. If he guesses right, he will be transported to magical land where his innermost desire will be fulfilled. Using only one question, Jack must choose which head is the true magic worm and then allow that head to eat him. One head tells only truths while the other tells only lies. Upon summoning the worm from its lake, the worm is revealed to have two heads. Jack enters the land of the magic worm and confronts it to ask it to grant him a magic wish.
