This is totally the armchair psychologist in me but maybe, just fucking maybe, there's a deeper meaning between Jack and Ashi outside if it just being heterosexual.
Jack spent the entirety of his youth in training. All of it. He went through rigorous training to fight Aku and what happened? He was flung into a future he knew nothing about and every scrape of what used to be his home (Which Aku had already ruined in the first plan when he first took over) was now so scattered they basically didn't exist. Jack was a stranger in a world where everything was over his head. He didn't get to grow up, meet a girl, fall in love, live a normal life; he was given a magical fucking sword and told to kill the monster.
Ashi was raised in a similar world except instead of positive reinforcement she was put through hell. Beaten, bruised and pushed onto ideals that Jack was the one to blame for everything she was driven by self-preservation; she was so scared of being in pain that she let rage blind her to it. She's currently at the age where Jack was thrown into the future but unlike him she grew up in this world and was molded differently by it.
The two share one thing in common, and it's the oldest trope there is; love. Jack was whisked away from his family and raised to be a fighter. So was Ashi. Neither of them came from an environment where you could consider love to be anything more than a pipe dream. Sure, Jack has compassion but he's driven by one singular goal in life and he literally has nothing outside of it. What would Jack do when Aku dies? (Spoiler: probably gonna cease to exist.) This whole forced romance thing people are freaking out about? This is just a last chance to appreciate who they are and to experience the one emotion neither of them every truly felt.

The funny thing is that the pairing is actually quite healthy with both parties on equal standing with each other. Both have tremendous respect for each other and value what each other wants to accomplish. On top of that, they provide each other with needed emotional support and affection that both parties have lacked in their backgrounds. But I guess that's gross and disgusting for tumblr because the pairing happens to be straight.

I'd also like to point out that these were the same assholes that were creepily infantilizing Ashi as if she was some kind of toddler in order for it to fit in with their father/daughter headcanons AND the same assholes who were shoving Ashi and the Scotsman's daughter together even though neither character had met/knew each other existed.

Tumblr is the nightmare Orwell was warning us about.

Did all these tumblrtards who insist that Jack is strictly gay/asexual even watch that episode where he hung out with the sexy green chick the entire time and was totally digging on her? Yeah, it turned out to be disguised aku in the end (which itself is honestly the most sexually confusing thing the series has ever done) but still, you can't claim that Jack has never at least had some eye for the ladies.

Yes, a shy man who has spent the last 50 years of his life in eternal warfare punctuated by lenghty periods of solitude would totally not jump at the first female (let alone an attractive one) in his way. And a young woman who has had little to no contact with the opposite sex would never fall for a super virile man who just so happens to be the great hero in the known universe. That's not realistic at all.

TBF the whole "Jack is 70" does have some merit. Like, when weeaboos say fapping to their loli waifu is okay because canon-wise she's actually a 1000 year old witch/dragon/goddess or some bullshit, even if she looks like a schoolgirl; that's bullshit.

You guys know a lot about children's cartoons lol
 
A man is straight?! WHAT THE FUCK, GENNDY?!

Seriously, what is going on with people that THIS is offensive? Did someone taint the nation's supply of hormone replacement drugs a few years back and it rotted Tumblr users brains or something?

Jesus fuckanoli it's like they're ACTUALLY going out of their way to be onbnoxious little contrarians.

>show was never all that good

Completely false, it's one of the few shows that has stood up to time, actually.

>bitching about a black man voicing a Japanese character

Oh my god you people really are never satisfied, are you. Next you're gonna complain about him voicing Jedi Kit Fisto because he's not actually a Nautolan.

The finale was 14 years ago, so that's a pretty safe assumption. The show is a product of a by-gone era, where the political correctness of series such as Steven Universe weren't conceived of yet.

It wasn't the finale. The show was discontinued, and this season is supposed to wrap everything up. Of course, the usual cartoon retards are REEEING at every single episode, since they never accepted the fact that they're not entitled to see the plot go where they and only they want to.

...Honestly if the show doesn't end with Aku laughing triumphantly over Jack's corpse, I'm gonna be so mad. I've been rooting for him since day 1.
