Memorable Quotes[]
"I know... I've tried!!!"
- --Cobra Commander, insisting that Serpentor's dream of capturing Washington DC in one fell swoop is impossible.
Notes[]
Animation and Technical Errors[]
- Alpine, Bazooka, and Mainframe are simultaneously shown at both Cobra Island and G.I. Joe Headquarters.
- Two Airtights and Cutter show up at Cobra Island along with Alpine, Bazooka, and Breaker. Also, the two Airtights appear and disappear during the skirmish on Cobra Island.
- When a Viper places the bomb on the Capitol dome, the outline of his hands is still present after he moves away, with the bomb having hand shaped voids in it.
Continuity Errors[]
- When General Hawk is showing the Joes the computer simulation of Serpentor, it's outfitted in his serpent outfit, even though up to that point the Joes have not yet seen what Serpentor looks like or what he's wearing.
- None of Serpentor's Vipers frisk the "President" or the other "politicians," since they walk right up to the Cobra emperor with guns in their briefcases.
- In the first part of Arise, Serpentor, Arise! the G.I.-Joe's radar is able to pick up a Cobra Night Raven, a spy plane, entering US airspace, but in this episode, their radar system somehow misses a massive Cobra invasion force entering Washington D.C., the capital of the United States, and do not learn about it until Serpentor announces his attack on the city.
Miscellaneous Notes[]
- Owing to the lack of Sun Tzu's DNA, Serpentor is impetuous and rash, leading him to attack and attempt to take Washington DC by force with a direct assault when such a maneuver has no reasonable chance of succeeding.
- Zandar is voiced by Milt Jamin in this episode.
- Destro appears to realise he has made a mistake in creating Serpentor during the disastrous battle of Washington DC. The camera lingers on him glowering at Serpentor. Destro would later be shown working with Cobra Commander once again in the series finale "Into Your Tent I Will Silently Creep", indicating that he had grown tired of Serpentor's leadership.
- Serpentor spares Cobra Commander during the final battle and allows him to serve as his "scapegoat". Cobra Commander appears to have been reduced to the second in command of the organisation throughout the rest of the season, serving mostly as a field commander before going on to win more members of Cobra back to his side in an attempt to topple Serpentor.
Real World References[]
- Serpentor turned the Lincoln Memorial into an open-air throne room.
