Samurai Jack Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Aku — Aku was not created by the Emperor sealing a dark mass; in the canon, Aku is the dark mass itself, which escaped when the Emperor tried to seal it with the sword.

Aku — The claim that Aku's rise happened 'within a single night' is not supported by canon; the series shows his takeover occurring over a longer period.

The Robot — The Robot does not appear in the episode 'Jack and the Zombies'; that episode features zombies, not a robot hunter.

The Robot — The Robot is not a single-appearance character; it appears in multiple episodes, including 'Jack and the Haunted House' (Season 4, Episode 4) and others.

Jack's Katana — The sword was not given to Jack's father by the three gods; it was given directly to Jack by the three gods after he passed their trials. Jack's father never owned or wielded this katana.

Time Portals — Jack's physical age did change during his decades-long journey through time; he is visibly older in later seasons, and the show explicitly shows him aging over the 50 years he spends in the future.

The Beginning — The entry claims 'Aku in a more physical form before he evolved into the shapeless shadow seen in later episodes.' This is inaccurate: Aku's form in 'The Beginning' is already the same shapeless, shadowy form with a face that he has throughout the series.

The Beginning — The entry states 'Sab Shimono provided the voice for the Emperor (Jack's father).' This is incorrect. The Emperor is voiced by Keone Young, not Sab Shimono.

Pre-Aku Japan — The claim that Aku's time travel from the future was to escape Jack is incorrect; in the first episode, Aku sends Jack into the future via a time portal to escape Jack, not the other way around.

Pre-Aku Japan — The statement that 'Aku's release from his primordial imprisonment' is a key event of Pre-Aku Japan is misleading; Aku's release occurred in the ancient past, long before the era of Jack's father and the peaceful Japan depicted.

The Time Stream — Aku has never attempted to send Jack back in time to kill his younger self in the episode 'Jack and the Haunted House'. That episode involves a haunted house trap, not time travel. The correct episode where Aku sends Jack to a future where he killed his younge
