Easily one of the greatest villains of all time. Aku was funny when he needed to be but when he needed to be threatening, there was zero humor. Aku was also one of those villains who did not hesitate to kill the hero, as shown in my favorite episode, Jack and the Zombies; when Aku had Jack pinned, there was no monologue, no convoluted way for Jack to escape, just a twisted smile and the killing blow. Easily the best cartoon villain ever, even greater than Bill Cypher.

But before the final blow was struck, Aku tore open a portal in time and decietfully flung him to the future, where his evil was Law. For years, he had traveled the strange lands alone, searching for a new home, helping those who needed him along the way. No matter how much Aku tried burdening him in Despair, Jack never loses hope, and he knew that he would find his way home, and seeks to return to the past, and undo the evil that is Aku, and release it from Aku's evil grip."

He is a menacing foe, but there is a comedic side to him (his little sounds when he's surprised/mocking), especially with the facial expressions. His voice is perfect: he sounds like the "grumpy old man," which makes sense because of how old demons of the ancient world really are. There's more, but...ah, he's just Goth as fuck!

Tbf Aku was being nice when he said their city would remain sunken and isolated from the world. They had a pretty good gig going, have you seen what Aku did to the world?

Aku: will make you laugh one moment, and then immediately remind you.why he is the "shogun of sorrow" with his bloodlust. Both voices have some good moments. Just Mako has more. And is better. And scarier.

7:04 is classic. Aku had his greatest enemy at his mercy at long last, after so many years, and he couldn't figure out the best way to kill Jack. Understandable too because when you have a nemesis who has been able to live through just about anything and everything you throw at them for years, when they are finally at your mercy and the ultimate victory is in your grasp, you want to end them in just the most special way possible.
