Synopsis: The Shadow Samurai has come to destroy the orphanage, but no need to worry - the Silver Samurai arrives on scene to save the day.

In this first battle, the two warriors get a taste of each other's power, but this is only the beginning of the Samurai War…

Director’s Commentary: There’s a special guest star in this episode who I’m sure you’ll recognize. Dan Castellanata refused to do the voice-over for the character (something about copyright laws) so the voice is, unfortunately, far from familiar.

Arctu guest voices as the whiny orphan’s whiny brother.

The Shadow Samurai is difficult to understand, but the new mic I found should solve this problem for future episodes.

All sounds are properly synchronized to the action – however, the animation tends to lag at times, resulting in the sounds being heard before the actions that caused them. And yes, the sounds are on stream format. I don’t know how to fix this problem.

Next Episode: The Silver Samurai takes on the Shadow Samurai’s army of Shadow Ninjas… It’ll be shadowlific.
