Aku

NOTE: Some of the information in this article is about his influence Jack-Aku not Aku himself.

Aku (also known as his influence Jack-Aku) is the main antagonist of the Cartoon Network/Adult Swim animated series Samurai Jack. He is the rulthless, diabolical and manipulative deomon king who is the arch-enemy of Samurai Jack and the biological father of Ashi and her sisters.

In the first four seasons of the show, he is voiced by the late Mako Iwamatsu while in the fifth and final season, he is voiced by Greg Baldwin.

Why is he Rejected?

 * He is a comic relief due to his comedic moments despite his actions.
 * He has moral agency issues due to him being made of evil despite him having a sadistic personality.
 * His influence Jack-Aku is brainwashed/possessed since brainwashed/possessed can never be Pure Evil and also Affably evil due to Aku possess Jack.

Trivia

 * While Aku himself was never rejected for pure evil or is a adaptation, he did possess jack creating jack-aku who was rejected for pure evil which is the reason he is here.
