Background
Seeking to end their struggle, Aku proposes a duel in which Jack may not use his sword and Aku may not use his magic. Jack correctly suspects that Aku will cheat and hides fake swords all over the battleground; when Aku, who also expected Jack to cheat, realizes this, Jack uses his true sword to force him to flee once again. It is the last episode to feature Mako as the voice of Aku.
