Ranking All GI Joe Ninjas

[@AgentNevets]

I love ninjas! I grew up in the 80’s, either gonna love them or hate them.

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

80s' was the decade of the ninja!

[@JV12382]

[@PAD996]

GI Joe is basically: "What if a bunch of feuding ninjas got caught up in the War on Terror?... oh, and sometimes there are lasers and robots."

YEes, those are great. I found them online. There's a bunch online

[@MOCTurtle4911]

I agree on Snake Eyes. Very cool as a ninja, adds to his lethality, but I still think of him as a commando first. And I never accepted Firefly as a ninja. Better as an urban camo saboteur. Was playing Taboo a long time ago and a friend turned to me when he was doing clues. He said, "GI Joe female ninja" and I immediately answered "Jinx."

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

Yeah, the whole "Firefly is also a ninja" plot felt very tacked on. Never worked for me

[@talondarkfire]

As much as I've loved ninjas - mad props for showing American Ninja, that and the sequel were mine and my brother's favorite movies growing up - I was never really big into the ninjas of G.I. Joe. I love it that you used the silver sword Snake Eyes figure at 41:03 - I LOVED THAT FIGURE. Not my top favorite, but easily a top 5. And lastly, I only recently (like a few days ago) found out that Arashikage is derived from Japanese - Arashi: Storm and Kage: Shadow.

[@stevenhenry5267]

Considering how much Larry has been responsible for Snake Eyes entire story, he had every right to change things up. Sean was ok in the role. Dawn was good. The actual stories behind the masks were also good.

[@JoshBook]

Cool list - thanks for making it!

[@christianbrix4311]

Great list and awesome choices, though I'd personally have Billy above Jinx. He and Kwinn were the two biggest absentees in the classic run, in my opinion. I'm glad you didn't include Scarlett, I don't see her as a ninja either, although I wouldn't have included Zartan or Firefly on a list of ninjas either. Their ninja status was just too much of a 90's retcon for me.

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

Yeah Billy and Kwinn are my two most wanted classified figures.

[@mrrictus]

38:23 He looks less of a Billy Kessler and more of a young Snake Plissken. An official Billy Kessler classified figure release would be dope to own. His figure design would be white ninja outfit, with the special feature being a detachable leg.

[@Someinsanegenuis]

Nice fun ranking 🙂 I always seen Scarlett as part of the ninja clan, cause she has the same symbols as Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow. I havn't read much more than the 38 issues of GI Joe that made it to Denmark, but the storyline with Blind master and Billy is there, with Scarlett and the other ninjas working together.

[@mrtommygunner9]

Great stuff I was surprised no mention of Quick Kick or Helix tho

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

I don't think Quick Kick is a ninja, more just a martial artist. Helix was questionable, but it seems her training was mostly from her mom, who was a martial artist. So I don't think she gets official ninja status, but I could be wrong on that one. But if Quick Kick was a ninja, he'd be high on the list. One of my favorite all time characters

[@mathieuduval7544]

Really enjoying your vids and im learning a lot, im a HUGE GI Joe fan but i see theres a lot idk!!! Im surprise you didn't included Ninja Force Scarlett and im surprise back in the day that they didn't do a NF Lady Jaye!!??... i should know this but i think we only got one version of Lady Jaye.... thats weird!! You should do a vid about some character's who only got one version and deserve another... or versions of characters that we dont know or completely forgot!!

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

I feel like Scarlett is not a ninja, just is banging a ninja. So ninja by injection?

[@johnsoehnlen4781]

Excellent video. Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow are tied for the best in my opinion. You can't have one without the other. I would rank Billy Kessler as third. I used Nunchuk as Billy in my personal kid/ teen canon. Billy had assumed a false alias with a code name to get into the Ninja Force that only Storm Shadow and Zartan knew about. Zartan would be 4. Slice and Dice rank 5 and 6 for me. I like to think that there's still a lot of potential for these two characters in a G.I. Joe reboot someday. The Night Creepers rank 7 for me. After that, it gets difficult.

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

Yes, I had an extra storm shadow and I disassembled him and put on a joe head and made an eyepatch using a sharpie to make Billy

[@johnsoehnlen4781]

@@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal You were lucky to have Storm Shadow v1. There's no way that I would have been able to swap heads on the 1992 Ninja Force figures without breaking them.

Originally, I thought Dawn's story was going to be a tragedy about a kid who grew up cobra.

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

That would have been cool. What he did in the end was pretty interesting

[@rach4carlos]

Great video! There were some really deep cuts in there; some I had forgotten about and some I didn’t even know about. There were some omissions. Tiger Claw and Shadow Strike, from the ninja battles playset. Ashiko, from the Pursuit of Cobra toy line. Cyber Ninja, Cobra Combat Ninja and Red Fang Ninja from the Retaliation toy line. Also, Ninja Ku and Cobra De Hielo from South America.

[@stephenthomas1492]

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

Yeah, I like Commando Snake Eyes, Especially in Classified

[@eduardo130579]

Amazing videos !!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Do top : BEST CHARACTERS EXCLUSIVE FROM VEHICLES Continue the good work

[@seantape5171]

Zartan is a member of the Arisakagi clan. He was assigned by Cobra Commander to infiltrate the clan in order to recruit Storm Shadow & simultaneously take revenge on Snake Eyes( who'd joined the Arisakagi by that point) because he blamed Snake Eyes' biological family for the death of his (CC's). Zartan went "full Stockholm Syndrome" because of the "Soft Master" who treated him with more kindness than he'd ever experienced in his life. Cobra Commander had to pull a "two-fer": threatening to expose Zartan as an assassin sent to wreak havoc on the Arisakagi Clan & subverting & hiring the "Faceless Master" of the clan(who eventually became Firefly) to actually do the deed & kill the Soft Master(Tommy Arisakagi's--Storm Shadow's uncle) & make it look like either Snake Eyes or Zartan was responsible if Storm Shadow ever started searching for "bread crumbs." Thus Storm Shadow finds the Hard Master(his other uncle who walked into Firefly's ambush) dying in Snake Eyes' arms with a compound bow arrow piercing his chest.

[@winterbournemarshall9088]

I just came across your video. It’s very good. However, although it’s been a very long time, Zartan didn’t kill the hard master. I believe it was revealed that although Zartan was hired to kill snake eyes, he kept delaying. So cobra commander activated his back up assassin…firefly. Firefly was the ninja that trained with the clan who had his face blurred in all photos. Firefly retrieved the arrow and did the assassination. The comics initially led us to believe it was Zartan but subsequent issues proved it to be firefly.

[@JSolo-ui6kx]

Awesome video!!! We would have gotten along great as kids. My question is What about Quick Kick & Budo? You would think they’d have the skills to hang or be formidable if they were brought on to GI Joe for their respective skillsets. Samurai were the historical enemy of the ninja. Would there be a special category for the likes of Quick Kick & Budo?

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

Yes, we would have! As for Budo & Quick Kick, I'd say they are not ninjas. I also didn't include Agent Helix, because even though she fights like a ninja, she did not specifically have ninja training.

[@wesbeuning1733]

Saying you're not a ninja is something a ninja would say.

[@demetricsmith471]

I agree with the top 3 rankings! I haven't read many comics but I love the lore and the toys. G.I.Joe is my all time favorite toy line! Soldiers and ninjas 🥷 rule!

My 1st gi joe was zap, Rock n roll and Snake eyes. For my 3rd birthday. But for my fifth birthday I bought my first Joes with birthday money and saw Quick kick and Storm Shadow and was hooked from there on. Ps I always considered the orange and blue Alley viper with a shield as a ninja along with Spirit as a martial artist.

[@LOSKOSKI]

Ok dude, I had to pause the video. "Banzai" #5 accessory is a sun protection mask and #8 is a knee brace. Lol wtf I got a knee brace I wear sometimes.

[@cobra3839]

I still remember my GI Joe coloring book I had when I was maybe 6-8 or so. I colored Storm Shadow red and I was pretty sure I created the coolest Ninja ever

[@princebloodgrave8097]

To be fair, I prefer how the Night Creeper Leader looked in the early 90s DIC cartoon. Honestly, before I found out that he was a ninja, I used always pretend that Firefly was a ninja, cause he looked like one.

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

Yes. Maybe the only thing the DIC cartoon got right. He actually looks like he fits with the Night Creepers. Tiger pajamas boy looks like he has nothing to do with them

[@cobra3839]

Ya man I'm with you, there can only be one snake eyes. They really had a chance there to show that he's NOT replaceable, and they totally should have. The few comics I've had the chance to read clearly showed Snake Eyes (admittedly always my favorite character) had unmatched skills in many ways. To have someone just burn their face, lose vocal chords, and suddenly be as good as Snake Eyes at what he does is just plain insulting, not to mention ridiculous

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

Agreed. It was the lamest thing ever. Hated it.

[@jimmybacas8003]

Quick Kick is taking 90% of this list out🤘🤘

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

True, Ninjas are somewhat overrated. Larry Hama treats them like superheroes.

[@robinredick8952]

Those are fighting words, but Bruce Lee would probably agree. Besides, Quick kick was tough enough to go shirtless AND eat Popsicles in a frozen tundra. He takes this!

[@adamsontalabucon3984]

No shirt no shoes no service for quick kick!

[@mattjones2903]

Didn't Bushido come out first as strictly a samurai character? I didn't even know about the ninja version. I also could have swore he was portrayed as being at least part Japanese in the comics, I even thought it was mentioned he was in a relationship with Jinx.

[@liquididentity101]

Snake Eyes will always be #1 just because he is the pinnacle of martial skill, wisdom, military training, morals, and mystery. He is an all-rounder and gets things done. But I'm willing to capitulate that Storm Shadow v2 is the #1 ninja we need in Classified figure form.

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

Yeah, he is my favorite character. I just prefer commando style

[@raycimbalnik5159]

[@wayigotitfigured9800]

I pretty much struck Devil's Due from my lexicon. Except Kamakura, I guess. I guess you could look at Akiko as 'at least they didn't make her Jinx.' Was she horny for Snake Eyes? I just don't remember beyond the constantly not killing him LOL. Ninja Force Scarlett has a 'big butt' but it ain't the kind I would want. I like my pancakes on a plate if you get me. I think in 92 somebody else sort of started writing the file cards. T'JBang was my favorite BY FAR. According to Larry in the letter's column Firefly was "the Faceless Master" and he had it in his pocket for all those years. Even back then, I was....skeptical. But he was definitely a ninja- a master even, although he was admittedly no match for Snake Eyes. You didn't say WHY Zartan was Onihashi's assistant or WHY he was guilty that he killed himself. Zartan became his assistant to assassinate Snake Eyes, and Onihashi knew he was a snake from the beginning.When he killed the Hard Master, Onihashi's honor was destroyed and he committed Sepukku because of it. Also, he was T;Jbang's master at some point. Both the Master and Apprentice stories (regarding SE's first pupil) have bad things going on - they fridged her in that story, and you covered Storm Shadow adequately. The Soft Master delivers one of my favorite lines in the series when he discusses Okinawa Japan and how you can't legislate hand guns in Issue 27. Snake Eyes' brain waves are the most monitored brain waves on the brain wave scanner - it was introduced with HIM in it in issue 10 - it's how we first get any glint of his past as a ninja - 11 issues before Storm Shadow shows up! Regardless, I'd like a Dawn Moreno (Italian??) Classified figure. Billy got a figure in FSS. He definitely needs more toys, bur they seem to be leaning into the Commander being a weirdo from Cobra-La. Jinx is Jinx. She's great! Storm Shadow also delivers one of my favorite lines from the comic - "The only reason to master violence is to abolish it." His need for vengeance ended with his "death" in issue 47, but yes. He's the man. Snake Eyes is number one for me, commando or ninja. He's the standard by which everyone should live (at least after maybe issue one where he suggests killing Dr. Burkhardt would be more logical than a rescue). He's the most honorable, least jealous, most skilled, has the greatest moral compass despite being a stone cold killer. He's a 'perfect' character, but not in an annoying way (to me). You can probably tell I'm a big Joe fan, too. LOL I love Transformers even more (even if the comic was inferior to GIjoe).

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

I get Snake being number one. and you are dead on about his honor. That's one of the reasons the origins movie pissed me off

I mean he was just way more badass than anyone else, and that's saying something cause the cartoon had a lot of really cool Joes

as a huge 90s joe fan i for once have to agree with you on a lot of your comments. the pile driver was one of the worst vehicles in the entire line, right up there with the cobra rat. however in saying that i did like T'GIN-ZU it was a nice repaint of the 91 storm shadow (who is one one of my favorite versions of storm shadow). Also i know ninja force scarlet gets a lot of hate and i get it with her larger butt and lack of articulation, but she did have a good head sculpt , far better looking head sculpt then the 82 butterface version. i will disagree on t-bang and dojo i think these are 2 of the worst ninja force characters/figures. very boring and goofy looking. my top favs for ninjas would be slice/dice, 89/91 storm shadow and jinx

Larry Hama stole his Snake Eyes/Storm Shadow rivalry ideas from the "Enter the Ninja" movie which came out in 1981...a year before the POS woke hack Hama plagiarized it. I have zero respect for him now that he is a rabid adherent to [CURRENT YEAR] wokeness. The writing had been on the wall for some time though as the Dawn Moreno idea was ridiculous for a long time before he signed off on the Snake Eyes movie disaster.

He may have “orders from on high” if you get what I mean in order to keep his job.

@@dennisrounds1996 Then he is a sellout.

I still love Larry Hama, just not all of the decisions he makes along the way. The Dawn Moreno story ends up being a good read, but it does jump the shark to kill Snake Eyes and return him as a clone.

@@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal The most annoying thing out of his mouth was when he said Snake Eyes should have been Asian from the beginning...immediately after saying that Snake Eyes was written as White on purpose. If his second statement is now his permanent position, shouldn't he say the same about the Blind Master, Billy and any of the other non Asian martial artists? It's just stupid.

@@judesheckelberg5135 I think he has admitted that was bullshit. But yes, that was dumb.

Honestly, the worst thing about Joe is ninjas..... Lame.

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

Yeah? Not a fan of ninjas? it's not my favorite part of GI Joe, and some of them really suck (As discussed)
