Sorry to disappoint, but that was just a rumor propagated mostly from TNI, Shin, and myself.
Look at the 25th filecard. It's the same text as the comic pack #21 ninja, which featured the
original
red ninjas in the storyline.
Furthermore, it's most of the same running text as the red ninja from the TRU Ninja Strike Team set. . .all the way back to the '93 Ninja Force filecards.
I highly doubt the Satan fig from Argentina and Sei-Tin from the Devil's Due series are even remotely related. If they are, then somehow Jerwa got hold of an English translation of the FC and then flawlessly dovetailed the character into the post-Hama ninja continuity. I doubt the likelihood of that.
Don't forget that Hasbro gave Devil's Due a lot of artistic license to mess around with the characters. And correct me if I'm wrong, but other than Kamakura and Hannibal, I haven't seen a Joe figure that was purely a Devil's Due creation.
Final verdict?
The 25th Red Ninja is an anniversary army builder meant to help recreate the players found in "Silent Interlude", which is considered both a classic, and a piece of comic history, even outside Joe fandom (and on many a top 100 list).
Special comment about Daredevil:
Ninjas aren't
well-known
for varied change-ups in their fashion habits, especially during the early 80s. Back then, there were only 4 traditional primary colors: Black, dark blue, white, and red. Thus, you simply can't tell one ninja clan from the other based on their costume alone. Larry Hama and Frank Miller weren't the only ones to write "ninja fiction" back then either. :rolleyes:
And another thing. There's quite a few of us who were well aware of The Hand way before Kevin Smith came along to tell us what to read and how to behave. I didn't stop reading Daredevil, X-Men and GIJoe, just because there were two different groups of red ninjas running around under the same comic label.
:exhale:
Whew, feel much better now.

awright. i read the card. but the figures artwork and execution was based on the original argentinian satan. like how they made a cobra mortal for state side last year.
