I guess I was wrong about Snake Eyes. Watching Gaijin Goomba's rant on the movie over stereotype 80s Asia with a heavy use of honor, I assumed Snake Eyes does not make a good ninja, given how he wears black and how Gaijin keeps hearing honor over and over. In this Which Ninja, I stand corrected.

...and despite the fact that Sunbow Production, who did the G.I.Joe cartoon, did not know what to do with him. Seeing him as a mute, nameless, faceless Commando with no personality, he was sidelined hard in the cartoon. He popularity was purely driven by the Marvel comics -- more so, after issue #21 "Silent Interlude". Much like Boba Fett, the fans were drawn in by his cool and quiet disposition, the mystery he holds under that mask, and the pure badass look.

GI Joe, at least the comic (Snakesyes wearing a mask due to disfigured by helicopter crash), has a thesis, “who is a better ninja, a man who is trained at young age or a trained soldier who trained at later age?” Snakesyes being a former soldier who was adopted by Ninja clan while Stormshadow is born to it.

In the current comic the OG Snake-Eyes sacrificed himself to take down the revived Serpentor, and a couple of weeks later Snake-Eyes' pupil Sean Boswell aka Kamakura received some helicopter injuries while protecting Scarlett during a mission Sean survived and Doc when he discovers the full extent of Sean's injuries states to the others this "I don't know how to explain this but this is either a massive coincidence or the work of fate itself but somehow Sean received the same facial injuries, and unrepairable injuries to the vocal cords that Snake received." And Hawk being the smart leader he is allows Sean to take up his mentor's codename along with upgraded version of his mentor's gear and become the new Snake-Eyes however in order to keep Sean's family safe, and keep up the illusion that Snake-Eyes is this seemingly indestructible phantom ninja of justice Hawk and the others were forced to fake Sean's death.

In the current comics Kamakura is now the new and current Snake-Eyes, basically after the OG Snake-Eyes sacrificed himself in order to a revived Serpentor Kamakura would later on receive helicopter injuries during a mission when he protected Scarlett and Doc states when he discovers that somehow Kamakura receiving the same injuries as him, and Jinx's mentor along with the injuries being 100% accurate to where they happened was either a massive coincidence or the work of fate itself.

10:50 A small correction: Beta waves are associated with being in a state of mental engagement, lower in amplitude and higher in frequency (15-40 hz). Most people in conversation or focusing on work are in the Beta state. Alpha waves are more associated with relaxation due to their lower frequency (9-14 hz). When you take a break or are relaxing you're in the alpha state. It's less about positive or negative feelings and more about how much mental energy you are expending

Awesome video, Gaijin Goombah! I've been a fan of G.I. Joe virtually my entire life, and like any child of the 80s who watched G.I.Joe, I thought Snake Eyes was one of the most badass characters of the whole series. The traits that could have made him a flop as a toy - the all-black costume design so he could be molded in all black and minimally painted to shave down costs - were translated into an enduring chain of development and character background that makes him the breakout hit of the franchise. His complete silence and anonymity turned into mystery and compulsion for the fans, and the mythos grew in every iteration of the franchise. Today, I salute you for seeing how this trend in Snake Eyes' developement as a character in the decades has been informed by and kept in line with the most true to history facts about true ninja. It warms my heart, especially in light of the fact I've been watching looped reruns of G.I.Joe here on KZbin since early 2020 frequently. Thank you Gaijin, keep making awesome content of all sorts, and... for the hell of it... let me add... Yo Joe! :)

Considering todays episode about Snake Eyes, kinda wonder if GG will do 'Which Ninja' but on Special Forces in Military. I have very little information about them. But from what I heard, their usual jobs is exactly like the Shinobis; information relay, reconnaissance.

I'd honestly like to think that whenever Snake eyes runs out of all other weapons he just pulls out a Walther ppk like he's James Bond.

I’m kinda hoping a vid for Genshin is coming to this channel soon, especially since Inazuma recently dropped. While some of the culture present does look rather stereotypical to me, I’m sure you can find plenty to dig through!

Sayu does get some things right(note the some) she camps in high places where it is hard to find her, she can move pretty fast thanks to the Fuufuu Windwheel and her Fuufuu Whirlwind Kick does deal quite a bit of damage and could knock someone out. Her idle she takes on the look of the Muji-Muji Daruma making it hard to know which is Sayu and which is just a daruma. She uses the elements to her advantage thanks to her Anemo Vision. And her small size does make her had to find if she is behind a boulder to a tower. I think her outfit would help her hide in a forest during the daytime.

It's kinda funny how Storm Shadow is using blades and shuriken in modern days, you know when your opponents with most likely wear bulletproof armor with possible plated steel within that'd break both weapon types if hit hard enough.
