Samurai Jack Season 3 Episode 3

Josephine
During the climax battle, Josephine refers to herself as a "mancatcher," which is sort of what her altered parasol is. A mancatcher was a rare medieval weapon that a soldier could use to restrain a foe without killing him; some had a cresent-shaped head and were thrusting weapons used to force a foe to the ground; others, like Josephine's bladed parasol head, required a pulling stroke, used either to force a horseman off his mount, or restrain a footman in the way Josephine attempted. Each variety had hooks of some sort on the business end and nastier ones - like Josephine's - had bladed hooks or barbs.

Background Music
In the beginning of the episode, when Jack enters the bar, the background music suggests that of Clint Eastwood's The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. This is ironic, because like Eastwood's character in that film, Jack is also sort of a "Man With No Name": his real name isn't Jack, and we have never learned what it really is.
