During the scene where Storm Shadow is on trial by the Blind master, a shot shows SS sword and you could notice what looks like korean writing in addition to the arashikage symbol and blood. I'm kinda thinking Storm Shadow in this universe is probably half Korean/Japanese. Someone pointed out when Rise of Cobra came out, the little kid that portrayed SS spoke korean instead of japanese.

Here it says that Retaliation dominated the Korean box office with 43% market share on opening weekend:
Korean Box Office: G.I. JOE 2 Wipes Out the Competition, or Was It Lee Byung-hun's Abs? | Twitch I have a feeling that's why SS is now Korean. |

It's interesting that they never come out and say SS is Korean in the movies. They give just enough hints for a Korean audience to pick up on it, but an American audience would assume SS was Japanese. |

I actually paused the movie so I could copy the Korean writing and have it translated.
Interestingly enough it translates to: "If you can read this, get a life!"

also:
Quick Kick has a Japanese father and Korean mother. He found difficulty being accepted by either the Japanese or Korean community because of his mixed heritage. |

Because of the korean writing on SS's sword, Im thinking of 1 of 2 things about SS's ethnicity, 1. half Korean/Japanese since in the intro he still named Thomas Arashikage, 2. Hes korean ethnically but was adopted by the Arashikage clan.
Now I have to form a theory on Jinx's kinship w/ SS. Is she suppose to be full Japanese (maybe Korean also and adopted) or half since her accent sounds european. |
