My question which sort if seemed funny to me, is how did so many Italian American \New Yorkers become ninjas? I'm not sure about LeQuale. But after reading Bushido's file card about how he wears the samauri head gear as a family tradition. I mean come on, Lloyd Goldfine? I went back to reread them all. In fact none of these names seem Japanese, although they seem so in the comics. If there is an unexplored story I'd like to hear it.
That is pretty odd. Dojo and T'jbang were shown as asian in the comics. T'jbang especially, with him taking over the Red Ninja clan in America's Elite.
I can see them all being from America, but how did they all get hooked up with Storm Shadow and get trained so quickly?
That's what annoyed me. It takes a long time to train a ninja, but Storm Shadow trained Ninja Force in no time at all (same with Billy). At least DDP showed that it took a year (at least) for training Ophelia (Snake-Eyes' first apprentice) and then Kamakura.
Also, did the Ninja Force receive the clan tattoo? Kamakura received it, and he was in part trained by Dojo and Nunchuk.
