I am way behind on the IDW ARAH continuation so if someone could please answer some of my questions:
1. Is Snake-Eyes undercover in Cobra or did he have another run-in with the brainscanner or what? 2. I heard something about "Blue Ninjas", are they connected to this new master (Hardmaster's elder brother I think it was) of the Arashikage that was introduced during IDW's ARAH? 3. A friend showed me a cover of TPB with the Crimson Guards aiming their FALs at Cobra Commander, Serpentor is still dead right? 4. Was it ever revealed how Cobra took over the US? (May have been at the beginning, I don't remember it's been awhile) Last edited by Hell-Scorpion; 06-09-2013 at 08:15 PM.. Reason: rephrase |

In order and with some spotty memory...
1) No not really undercover, just as usual with SE he's usually sorta lone wolfing a story in this case the death of Billy at the hands of the Blue Ninjas. 2) The Blue Ninjas were a Russian off shot of the Arashakage (Red Ninja clan) but I don't recall the excat relation. 3) I think at some point the Blue Ninjas had infiltraed Cobra so the CG's are actually Ninjas. 4) Take over is a bit of a stretch, the 'Wake Up' didn't last long and is pretty quickly reveresed. |

Ah, thank you. I had just seen several TPB covers of Snake Eyes with Cobra markings and affiliation I was wondering what the hell was going on and what all I missed.

1. Snake Eyes got brainwashed by Dr. Mindbender in the Brainwavve Scanner
2. The Blue Ninjas are cyborgs, enemies of the Arashikage Clan. 3. Blue Ninjas infiltrated Cobra disguised as "Fred" series seigies. 4. Cobra takes advantage of the Joes being disbanded to create fake terrorist groups and then convince the government to use Cobra as a security force. |

#2-- The Blue Ninjas haven't been defined as an off-shoot of the Arashikage clan...at least as far as we know. Yet.
In issue 170, Snake-Eyes, Storm Shadow and Billy find an Arashikage off-shoot clan in Brooklyn. Run by a guy named "Boris", they are disciples of the "Middle Master", who was the older brother of the Hard Master and Soft Master. Boris mentions that there are over 100 similar dojos around the world (so we could meet more, as the plot or writer's whim dictates). Middle Master was sent to a Russian gulag after "the war" (take your pick which one), where he befriended Boris' ancestor and taught him the ninja-y ways of the Arashikage. There's also a Sensei Moskovina who pops up. She's from Finland and a former friend of Boris, who became a Blue Ninja/cyborg. The exact lineage, motivations and connection of the Blue Ninjas haven't been detailed. My guess is that they could be tied into the original "Fred", the first notable Crimson Guardsman. Fred was "killed" when dueling Snake-Eyes and the Soft Master and, thus, would have the motive.
