Ask a Ninja Ninja!

8.9

"Great"

By BTRAV, Jun 10, 2007

Jamie and Adam go to the trouble of debunking these three ninja myths and then the Ask a Ninja Ninja comes and screws it all up. This is by far the funniest and my favorite episode. These guys know what they're doing and have some witty banter between them. Now I know why my brother is obsessed with this show.

This was a very awesome episode. Its filled with lots funniness and ninjas! The myths that where being tested, can you walk on water? Can someone stop a sword slash? Can you grab an arrow!? Well, this was a great episode. It kind of reminded me of Naruto alittle. alittle bit, not a lot. Adam though he could walk on water, but sadly, his shoes just didn't push him upwards. Also, it would have been really cool to see if someone can actually stop a sword with his own hands, but theres two problems with that. 1, it takes lots of speed and reaction (You will have to practlly start reacting even before he gets his sword ready) and 2, you will cut some of your skin off. No one would want bloody hands. And the arrow myth was like a little revist from that split an arrow myth. Other then all that, it was a very great and successful show and I hope to see more of it.moreless

So this was a cool episode. I mean who growing up didn't own like fake ninja stars and walk around pretending to attack people and sneak up on people making bad "whaa" noises?!? What, just me?? Anywaysthe myths that they talked about were walking on water using special shoes that didn't work and them Adam made some special shoes that didn't work either. Them it was testing catching a sword between your flattened palms as it is being swung at you. That didn't work. They brought in a real ninja for this and showed that there are certain techniques for stopping blades, but the flat palms aren't it. Then there was the hand catching a moving arrow guess what didn't work either.moreless
