Samurai Jack’s sword was literally cooler than every animated sword ever

Long ago in a distant land, a Japanese emperor who was also a mighty warrior saw his land overtaken by a shapeshifting demon known as Aku. To defeat Aku’s evil, the emperor turned to the ancient gods Vishnu, Odin, and Ra to forge him a magic sword. Wielding the weapon, the emperor defeated Aku and trapped him in the form of a black tree.
