Genndy Tartakovsky recently attended the Annecy International Animated Film Festival, where he unveiled concept art for "Samurai Jack" Season 5. io9 reports that the creator also shared some details about the highly anticipated continuation of the Adult Swim series.
But before anything else, check out the first image of Jack as he will appear in "Samurai Jack" Season 5.
Yes, that's blood. Lots of blood, some sweat and maybe some rain. The Genndy Tartakovsky concept art confirms that Jack will not be the same after he defeated Aku in the conclusion of "Samurai Jack" Season 4.
So what is "Samurai Jack" Season 5 about? Genndy Tartakovsky shared at the panel that the new season will take place 50 years after Aku's defeat. The series will follow what happened to Jack during those years. Based on the concept art, those last 50 years have been pretty harsh on the time-travelling samurai.
Genndy Tartakovsky also shared an image of Jack's new armor as well as a motorbike. It looks like he will be getting a major upgrade in "Samurai Jack" Season 5.
