Description
So yeah...Demongo's alive... Somehow...
...
WHAT THE FUCK?!!!
So for people who haven't seen Samurai Jack or those who have, but haven't caught up with season 5 yet, this is a huge spoiler. Demongo, the soul stealer, was ( or "is" now, I guess)a minion of Aku who had his own episode and died at the end of it after failing to kill Jack. Or so we thought. According to the latest episode he apparently somehow survived Aku crushing him and now he's randomly running around... Somehow... Without, like, ANY kind of explanation...
So yeah... don't I feel silly for coming up with a whole story about how he managed to return and show up in the War Chronicles series... Damnit Tartakovsky...

I never watched this show much, but I did see Demongo's episode and even recorded his "death."
Demongo's no Palpatine, Sombra, etc. to me in that I wanted his death to stay as much as I want theirs to, but it was still a shocker to read that he survived without any explanation whatsoever, after being supposedly dead for all these years. Is there a likely reason for it? Aku crushed him into nothingness. (Well, I don't know about the demons like him, but I did see exactly how much Aku could take)
I mean, if you've seen the final episode then (SPOILERS) he'll be erased, but still.

Yup. It's really just a bigΒ Β

Love the Twilight icon. And I REALLY hope they don't pull this with any of my favorite villain deaths (like Sombra, he was the first "official" villain death in FiM showing it can be done there). And when it comes to revivals I'd like an explanation why.
They did this in Season 4 of The Flash, which is one of the two reasons I'm ignoring that season and its Arrow, Legends, etc. counterparts (aside from the cliffhanger resolutions at the beginning). Bringing him back once was fine, and they explained why, and he got an awesome disintegration at the end of that season, but retconning that by bringing him back with zero explanation as to his survival was overkill, and to no useful purpose except in a crossover that, by the way, I'd need all four series' seasons on DVD to get the full thing. (I only watch Flash and Legends, not Arrow or Supergirl, the former is dark though I'm not "FanonDiscontinuitying" it by any means)

Well, considering that they never gave this scene any context, I think your fan-explanation still holds merit. Heck, you could even claim that Demongo was there on behalf of your character. It's not like you'll ever be contradicted.Β

Demongo, from Samurai Jack.

Well I looked him up and I gotta ask why does he have such a high pitched voice!? It's like nails on a chalkboard!
π: 0 β©: 0
And then he never shows up again and now the series is over! You don't just make him show up after supposedly being dead and not explain it. That a Chekhov's Gun if I ever saw one.

Do I have to put up with this villain? I have enough with Bendy ... Okay ..? Β Β

Yeah when I saw this episode I was very surprised. I do admit that I really need to catch up on a lot on the older series because I didn't know that Demongo was actually killed off in an older episode, I just assumed he went "AWOL" or something, so I was rather surprised and excited to see that Demongo made a brief appearance in a newer episode. But now after knowing he was killed off, this really does get me wondering who (the developers themselves without reason, or if they chose a specific character in the show itself that would give Demongo a reason to come back) or what convinced something to give Demongo another chance to appear in the series.
Crazy theory: I had mostly assumed the other night that the reason he came back was "due to his major popularity on the internet" to be either an excuse made up by the developers or if someone brand new joined the development team, then the new person ((IF there is someone new to the series and development, I don't know)) probably made a goof up not realizing or remembering what happened to that character in the older series.
Perhaps maybe this was all just non-canon with no purpose at all just to serve as an unexpected "gift" for people who really liked that character (since people can get overly-hyped about a character return if that character was heavily liked).
Or maybe instead it could be an alternate reality of the show where he actually survived and came back or didn't die at all faking his death ((or if not faking his death, IF the alternate reality thing was true, then he wouldn't have had anything to do with his demise by Aku)), since time travel has happened in this series with Jack being sent to the future and trying to go back to the past, maybe a paradox had to have happened somewhere off-screen if some character screwed something up somewhere in time. 
Well, there's only one way to find out and that's if he ever makes a another return while the show is still having its remaining episodes to be shown and/or is given a proper explanation in the show as to why or how he's still around. Otherwise if the show gives no explanation and no legit answers by the Samurai Jack development team, then the only other way to find out is if the developers ever decides go to one of those Comic Con panels or whatever hosting a "Question and Answer session" where anyone could have the chance to ask them that question personally.

Crazy theory indeed.
And yeah, it seems like the only thing we can do at this point is wait and see.

Yeah, and because I also saw Scaramouche return too in that same episode when I heard he supposedly died as well, my guess is either he survived just for being a robot head because he wasn't officially killed off properly by Jack, or this whole thing about returning dead characters is possibly just a "character reunion" thing going on in an attempt to celebrate the show's return.

Good God (in this case, Genndy), PLEASE let a rebuilt X-9 be part of Jack's army!

Oh gosh, that would be so awesome to see X9 return!

I think that since Aku "summoned" Demongo from the Pit of Hate (his words, not mine), it was strongly implied that when Aku "killed" him, his consciousness was sent back there.
Maybe it's taken him all this time to reform? Maybe Aku knew he hadn't killed him and just left him trapped there for fifty-odd years as a form of punishment? Who knows; it's for wider heads than mine.
Note that he has no skulls on his person. Β Personally, I'd just LOVE to see an epilogue or throwaway scene that clearly shows Demongo slowly regaining his power but, after seeing that Jack is still alive (and hasn't aged a day), immediately abandoning his plan for revenge.
...of course, I'm 99% sure this was just thrown in as fanservice - y'know, like the Ember Island Players portrayal of Jet's "death" in Avatar...

Yeah, pretty much. I really hope they end up doing it though, but I'm not holding my breath.

Demongo was more of a spirit then a living being. Aku merely dispersed him took him many years to reform, over fifty it seemed.
not that it will do him any good, Jack knows his weakness and may not even know jack Alive bet he assuming he old now as well.

I was already shocked by the other cameos in the latest episode.
Demongo of all people came as a huge shock to me.
(Kinda expecting him to do more, though)
Here's to hoping for a backstory behind how he survived/why he's back.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present the "King of the Gay"!Β

The same episode reveals he is no longer the top assassin of Aku, so, it is possible he was just sent to hell and scaped on his own and started all over again...
Then again, it was a really unexpected character to show up. The rest were just awesome

Lol, that sounds very typical of multiple writers on the same show.

1st what his alive 0_0
2nd oh my gems and cool excited to see it X3

Did not expect to see him at all.
But man, bless Season 5 for being on Adult Swim.
The fact that Tartakovsky and his old team came back and just changed the show slightly to fit a more mature tone, while keeping everything else as it was, it's great.
π: 0 β©: 1
Best show currently on TV, no question.
π: 0 β©: 1
One of those things where you're both relieved and kinda annoyed by the canon direction. Hehe. It's a shame there isn't a strong narrative reason for him being alive, or at least, not yet.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, it's a weird feeling.
And I do really hope they end up giving us that reason.

Β His appearance was like the biggest troll Genndy did on us but at the same time I could not stop smiling. First the Scotsman, then this guy... the series is a perfect combination of funny and dramatic. It makes you smile stupidly one moment and be on the edge of your seat the next...
π: 0 β©: 1
All true. It is, in my opinion, the best currently airing show on TV.
π: 0 β©: 1
Β Agreed, it blows away all the competition this year and even last year. It is the best comeback series I have ever seen and I have tried almost all other series that were good in the past: Totally Spies, Justice League Action, even Powerpuff Girls... my expectations just kept dropping more and more to the point that I never believed that one show can rise from it's slum and get back its glory and now I think that Samurai Jack slapped me with a fish in the face and made me see how wrong I was. This series didn't just exceed out expectations, it blow them away.Β
Β Also, Adult Swim did probably the smartest executive decision by agreeing to air this more mature version of the show. If the series was as censored as it was in CN, it might have been as good as the original but this was just the extra 10 points that made it better. And I hope Adult Swim does more of this and brings back more series, I would love to see a more mature version of the Justice League for example or Batman...

Well, I cant see no backstory for his return here, sooooooooooo.....

This whole episode was just dedicated to cameos... and the realization that one of the characters was a nudist.
π: 0 β©: 1
Ah yes. There were a lot of shocking reveals in there... uh... "reveal" may be a poor choice of words but you get what I'm saying.
I mean, it'd be hot if it wasn't so traumatic and everything.

Also the scene with the rock... and its unseen implications.Β

He's apparently managed to capture a few souls too, since he's not in the withered form he had after Jack freed his collection.
π: 0 β©: 1
Exactly!
Now it has been 50 years so he had plenty of time for that, but that still leaves the question: HOW IS HE ALIVE?!!!

I may have a theory about it, but I think Genndy might be dropping some kind hint there for Demongo's return, or not?
π: 0 β©: 1
I really hope so, but I fear the worst.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well all we can do for this one is try, wait and see what happens, wouldn't you agree?
π: 0 β©: 1
He doesn't really contribute anything either. He just shows up, calls the guys at the bar losers, then leaves.
π: 0 β©: 1
Exactly. That's why I'm so afraid it's just a one time gag and we won't get any further explanation.

That was my same reaction when i saw that episode!
