Since this dub never got a home video release, and all the off-air footage that's surfaced is such low quality, i decided to painstakingly identify each shot and reassemble the intro, using Shout Factory & Rhino's DVDs.
This dub was done for TV, and unfortunatly never recieved a VHS or Beta release outside of the movie dub. G.i. Joe was unfortunatly a bit of a failure in japan, mostly seen as a cult series among those who grew up with it.
4 episodes are used for additional footage for this opening, they are:
Cobra stops the world (Mass Device episode 1)
Cobra Soundwaves
Operation mind menace
And suprisingly, More than meets the eye part 1?! Yes!, Transformers footage was repourpased for G.I. Joe's japanese dub! Specifically the opening seconds of MTMTE part 1, used as a generic space background for the logo (the same way it's used for the japanese dub of transformers).
This was a few months in the working, Shot hunting & so on, finaly getting the last piece we needed today.
Hope you enjoy this rarely seen gem, fully restored to DVD Quality!
