watched this one out of order as a treat to myself. this is my favorite episode yet, hands down! the scene with aku giving a call to some rent-a-goon service had me laughing hysterically, and the next one where he challenges jack to a duel is just priceless. why do these two have so little interaction in the show is beyond me, they play off of each other really well.



the duel itself had me wheezing, too, especially the "i knew that you knew that i knew" part, ahhhahaha. surprisingly, aku is somewhat good at martial arts; he undoubtedly can kick an ordinary human's butt, but he doesn't stand a chance against jack in a fair duel like this.
