Samurai Jack (2001–2017): Season 4, Episode 12 - Episode LI - Young Jack in Africa - full transcript
A tale told in flashback concerning the childhood training of Samurai Jack in Africa, but, even as part the Nubian tribe, the young prince is not safe from Aku's minions.
AKU: Long ago, in a distant land,
I, Aku, the shape-shifting
master of darkness,
unleashed an unspeakable evil.
But a foolish Samurai warrior
wielding a magic sword
Stepped forth to oppose me.
(SWORD CLANGING)
Before the final blow was struck,
I tore open a portal in time,
and flung him into the future,
where my evil is law.
Now the fool seeks to return to the past
and undo the future that is Aku.

(HOOVES CLOPPING)
You are truly the emperor's son.
You look just like him.
Yes, I know.
Your presence here means only one thing.
Aku has returned.
And you, little Samurai,
have become the world's only hope.
(POIGNANT THEME PLAYING)
This will be your new home.
Your training begins tonight.
(TRIBAL MUSIC PLAYING)
Your father, the emperor,
shortly after you were born,
gathered together the chiefs
of all the great tribes of the world.
We devised a plan.
A plan that would prepare you
for the ultimate battle
against the ultimate evil.
Aku must be destroyed,
and only you can wield
your father's magic sword.
Together, you are the one instrument
that can stop this evil.
But tonight, you will become one of us.
This represents the lion,
the mightiest of earth's creatures,
its courage and strength unmatched.
This is the mark of rain,
nature's greatest asset.
It has the power to give life,
and to take it away.
And this sun is you, little Samurai,
for you are the one light that will stand
against the coming darkness.
Now, come.
Your new family is anxious to meet you.
(TRIBAL DRUMS PLAYING)
I am the son of the chief of these people.
I am their future king!
Ah, my son.
I see you have met your new brother.
I hardly think he is fitting
of a prince's brother, father.
Son, you will show some respect.
And this is your new brother,
like it or not.
Yes, father.
(BIRDS SCREECHING)
This is the Umlangata.
It is made from our land's
strongest trees.
We have five styles of technique.
The cheetah.
The monkey.
The snake.
The scorpion.
And the antelope.
(CRASHING, CLATTERING)
Enough!
(LAUGHING)
Come, let me show you our land.

Find the boy.
We cannot find him.
(LOUD SMACK)
(INTENSE MUSIC PLAYING)
(CLATTERING)
The great evil spirit
has promised us great treasure
if we deliver
the little child of light skin.
