Episode Info

Memorable Quotes

• "After all we've been through, why won't you trust Snake-Eyes?"
• "Uh, newsflash! He's a ninja! By definition, that makes him a spy, a saboteur and an assassin."
• everyone just looks at him
• "What? Look it up!"

--Scarlett may know Snake-Eyes well, but Tunnel Rat has done his homework.

• "The gas bomb wasn't enough, huh? You had to send us a wake-up call from Samurai Suzie?"
  
• "That would be 'Ninja Nancy.'"

--Yeah, Duke, get your terminology right or Scarlett will set you straight.

Errors

• Where was Jinx living that just a few years ago looked like feudal Japan? A themepark?

Items Of Note

Hello, my name is Arata.

• First appearance: Storm Shadow, Jinx, Hard Master, Arata.
• Duke is on the phone with Alvin Kibbey, who apparently posted pictures of the Joes on his anti-Cobra blog.
• Jinx specifically identifies Hard Master as her father.
• Young Snake-Eyes speaks.
• Hard Master is voiced by Keone Young, who also voiced Storm Shadow in the Sunbow series.

G.I. Joe references

• In the Marvel comics, Snake-Eyes had a cabin in the High Sierras. His dojo, though never given a geographic location, seems to be in similar terrain.
• When Jinx swings a sword at Storm Shadow's head from behind, he claps his hands and catches it. As seen in G.I. Joe #59, that's a standard Arashikage test.
