Samurai Jack and Powerpuff girls have been acquired by IDW Publishing for some new comics!
The properties are ripe for a crossover. You already have sugar, spice, and
everything nice, but what happens when you add a samurai sword?
When
Jack tries to hop in a time portal back home, Haku’s meddling causes
him to be spit out in Townsville right in the middle of Professor
Utonium’s lab.
His
sword gets doused in Chemical X and the resulting explosion transforms
Jack to look just like the PPGs w/big eyes and stubby arms but he still
has the signature Samurai hair.
Jack
has been imbued with his sword! But he’s not used to fighting with super powers instead of a sword, so the girls must teach him control while Prof works to
reverse the process.
MEANWHILE,
Haku has followed Jack and teams up with Mojo Jojo! Haku merges with
the monkey man as a dark magical armor and we can see Haku’s eyes and
mouth in Mojo’s brain -- EEWW!
Start
training montage where the girls try to show Jack how to use his new
super powers while Jack tries to teach them samurai discipline.
The
girls take to calling him Jacky. Bubbles tries to do his hair to no avail.
Blossom and Buttercup vie for his attention b/c they want to be as good
as a samurai. OH, GIRLS!
The
montage is cut short when the Mayor calls in to report a bank robbery! While flying to the bank, Jack notices a few buildings look strangely familiar.
The quadrio attempt to foil the robbers but in an effort to impress
Jack, the girls overdo it and destroy the bank, leaving only
robbers/people and the vault remaining amongst smoldering ruins.
In
the midst of their fighting in which Jack just watches in wide-eyed silence, Haku Jojo appears and attacks with his new dark magic monkey smarts. He wipes the floor w/them b/c Jack isn't used to his powers yet and the girls keep getting in each others way to try and prove they are the best.
Jack’s
powers are ineffective against the combined might of the villain. When
Haku Jojo goes for a killing blow on Buttercup, Jack intercepts it.
The
essence of the sword is activated when Jack is hit and his eyes go all
glowy and a white blade of energy sprouts out of his head, but he
doesn’t move.
The
girls see that he has turned into a giant lightsaber and together as a
team they wield him to fight off Haku Jojo and split him back into two.
Funny bit where the two villains chastise each other for their obvious pitfalls that we the audience see time and time again. The pair disappears.
Back at the lab, Jack is separated from his sword and reverts back to his normal self thanks to the Prof’s new device.
The Prof and full-sized Jack take each other in for the first time and there's a ambiguous conversation about maybe them being related b/c they look so similar.
Jack presents them with their own cute little samurai robes in pink, blue, and green.
Jack
gives them all his samurai hairdo and in exchange Bubbles gets to give
Jack a stylish new hair style (think Tom Hiddleston’s Loki but less
creepy).
He’s pleased that they learned to work together as a team instead of working against each other.
Jack
recounts the friends he made on his journey, like the Scotsman, and
reminds the girls that a samurai may be a fierce warrior, but without
strong bonds of friendship, they will fall.
Prof sends
Jack back through a time portal, but Haku sabotages it and jumps in
after him, directing him back to the world where he rules.
AND SO THE DAY IS SAVED -- THANKS TO THE SAMU-PUFF GIRLS!
