I believe the reason Aku doesn’t want Jack to die so soon is because he wants the kill for himself perhaps. That and or he wants to humiliate and make him suffer. Like, he could set up a public execution for the whole world to see Jack get killed off. That would get rid all of the hope he put into people. He might not even give the mercy of death and do something like he did with the Lava Monster.

I absolutely believe you’re right. And it’s stuff like this that makes me want to shake him by the shoulders and scream “FOOOOOOOOOL!”

Can I scoot right in and say that you’re a WONDERFUL Aku rper?? Like legit I can hear Mako’s voice in your writing, and you make it seem like Aku is definitely there answering questions. I follow a bunch of Akus, and most of it sounds more like the S5 one, and rarely has there been that sounds exactly like Mako. Keep up the good work! 👌👌👌

Eeee! Thanks so much, Anon! I put a fair deal of effort into ‘hearing’ his dialogue in Mako’s voice when I write him so it’s really good to know that someone else can hear him too. 

Which isn’t to say I don’t love Greg’s Aku as well but I’m pretty soft for Mako’s version (and for some reason they sound wildly different in my mind even though they sound kinda similar in my ears? It’s weird!)

Anyway, your words of encouragement are greatly appreciated! <333 

Remember that one time you got sick while fighting Jack in the alps and flew away? Do you remember how you’ve treated yourself until you felt better?

“Yes, I took a hot bath in the pit of a volcano. The magma was very relaxing. After that, I cooled off in a natural spring and felt completely INVIGORATED.”

Aku paused for a moment. At first he hadn’t known what was going on, but now the pieces were coming together in his mind. A toothy grin spread slow and wicked across his face.

“But you know what really helped was when I went around to everyone I knew and gave them a BIG HUG AND KISS. YESSS, I think love was the real cure.”
