⚔️🗡️ Ashi from “Samurai Jack” is always ready for a fight, regardless of what occurs. I based this study from a scene from an episode where she and Jack encounter Lazarus 92. Upon having her dress of leaves eaten by leeches, Ashi fends them off and she grabs her weapons and takes on the monster while fighting it completely naked, much to Jack’s embarrassment. Ashi’s response to Jack trying to explain the physical differences between men and women indicates her skewed comprehension of the concept of decency.

What people don’t tell you about watching shows is that after you finish watching a show there’s no more show for you to watch. Think about that.
