Ep 5. XCVI

Jack finds himself in a new, unfamiliar setting in season 5 episode 5 of Samurai Jack, titled XCVI. The episode begins with Jack moving through an oasis, taking in the lush surroundings of the forest and the waterfalls. Throughout his journey, Jack is accompanied by a talking camel, which he converses with along the way. As the two press forward, they come across a group of leprechauns who tell Jack about Ladybug Valley.

Jack decides to press on to the valley in search of information about his sword, hoping that he will be able to find a way to defeat Aku. As he makes his way through the forest, Jack and the camel come across a young girl who is being attacked by a group of assassins. Jack intervenes and quickly defeats the assassins.

The girl explains to Jack that she was sent by her adoptive family to meet with someone who could help her take down a gang of assassins. The group has been causing trouble in her village and the family is desperate for help. Jack agrees to help, and the two of them travel deeper into the forest to find the assassin gang's hideout.

As they make their way closer to the hideout, Jack begins to notice that the young girl has a strange and unexpected skill for combat. He becomes curious about where she learned to fight so well and begins to question her about her past.

The girl reveals that she has always been able to fight and that she was trained by a group of skilled warriors who found her wandering alone in the forest as a child. As they continue their conversation, Jack realizes that the girl was likely a survivor of one of Aku's attacks.

Their conversation is interrupted, however, when the assassin gang finally emerges from their hideout. Jack and the girl are forced to fight off the gang, but they quickly realize that they are outnumbered and outmatched. In a desperate attempt to gain the upper hand, Jack and the girl set up a trap to lure the assassins into a narrow path.

The plan succeeds, and Jack and the girl are able to defeat the remaining assassins. As they make their way back to the village, Jack reflects on what he has learned about the girl's past and decides that he wants to help her in any way he can.
