@@davidyehezkiel5744 also with the film Snake eyes had they had Kenta damaged Snake eyes neck when trying to stop him leaving him Mute than it would've been more respectful to his origin
He hit him 6 times before finishing him off with a final and 7th blow. The Seven Steps allude to the 7 Chakras. They aren’t directly aligned in such an order but the way he is broken down with the blows is very symbolic to systematically dismantling a human. He not only killed him, but also his soul in the process. Which is why such knowledge was held as taboo or forbidden. 1st Step- he takes out his heart. The core of his personality, identity and his ego. The heart Chakra. 7th Step- he obliterates his spirit. His ability to be fully connected spiritually to his physical body. The core of his emotional issues (as he clearly stated his pure hatred for Snake Eyes) The Seventh Step was a way of his uncle transcending and living in spirit through the carrier of the knowledge (Snake Eyes). So the beholder had to be to a degree, worthy of such honor. Storm Shadow was filled with pride and wrath, which is why his uncle likely deemed him unfit as a vessel for The Steps, as pride and wrath evolve into hate. Once his uncle would die he’d never be able to return physically. He’d only be able to live in someone through the seed of knowledge that he would cultivate (in spirit). He wanted his work to survive, but he wanted it to live well.
@@minatonamakazi actually went frame by frame..it's pretty brutal..ESPECIALLY step 3 which is a twisting palm blow just above the heart..that right there ALONE from someone as highly trained as Snake Eyes is enough to kill most average people in even good shape..especially when you consider the 1st strike ALONE to the heart DIRECTLY, the air pressure generated from Snake Eyes strike was enough to pass through Storm Shadow's body and blow out the back of his shozoku which is going to be rather durable..and it blew a HUGE hole out the back of that. Also there was no throat attack.
@@joshflores6605 Part philosophical analysis, part blow by blow break down of a fictional attack by a fictional ninja..welcome to the wonderful world of over thinking.
Genuinely wished they'd let this artist or group of artists give us a full series in this style. It's so slick, with every pose, motion and action they make the characters so fluid.love it.
GarouLady Honestly I was excited when I heard Ray Park was playing Snake-Eyes the problem is they didn't really do much. Can you imagine the GI Joe live action with Resolute's story? Honestly that would be exciting though I'll laugh if characters were played by the same actor like this one
This felt like a real last battle to me because Stormshadow just flat out admits everything. He’s done with the BS words of honor and the lies he has said and just admits he did everything out of spite towards snake eyes The only problem I have is that Storm Shadow didn’t die.
For anyone who is curious, Snake Eyes is using ko-katana or chisa katana without the tsuba/hilt. According to Wikipedia and Sword Buyers Guide, the ninjato is a modern invention likely not used by actual shinobi mercenaries. The ko/chisa katana is more suited for indoor/close quarters fighting.
@@mikereese529able I feel they were legal so it would be common for citizens, merchants,etc to have it like the kodachi which was legal for people to have.
If you were a kid watching GI Joe movies, you KNEW shit was about to go down the moment you see both Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow in the same place together. 6:35
unrealistic, nobody would look at themselves as the villain even if they are the villain. its just psychologically illogical, especially if one is the villain.
+Dana Butler too bad we won't get what we want because the Marvels and Hasbro now belongs too Disney Co.OO i almost forgot too tell you one thing.There are too many censorship movie exist in Islamic countries i am afraid.
Horror Squad Gives me hope for Transformers after Michael Bay - and an antidote to the crappy corporate meddling with Star Wars from Disney and CBS ruining Trek.
You know, as evil and as vile as Stormshadow is...its always still kinda heartbreaking to see Snakeyes and Stormshadow fighting. They were brothers... I know that its not something one should feel bad over, but when Snakeyes is forced to put Stormshadow down its always kinda devastating. You cant help but feel like something in him was worth redeeming, something was worth saving.
It's like 'Dante and Vergil' before Dante and Vergil existed. (Only difference is Vergil wanted more power, Storm Shadow was a traitor to his family out of jealousy)
(Joes watching the island from a satellite) Road Block: You think Snake made it on the island? (Birds eye view of the island, a big explosion) Duke: Yep...he’s on the island.
damn! It really scared me when Snake Eyes just stopped Storm Shadow's sword with his hand! Like it went through and through... creepy, but Snake Eyes is a badass.
I'm absolutely in love with the homework they did, to a point where it's strikingly obvious that Snake Eyes is a great ninja, whereas Shadow Storm is a very shitty one.
@@AtomicDeathray This iteration of him, sure. Normally, Storm Shadow is an extraordinary ninja and gifted marksman. He's Cobra Commander's bodyguard and personal assassin for a reason.
@@jestfullgremblim8002 It depends, anime is definitely a better medium nowadays Past cartoons? It's subjective, but anime would take action any day. IMO cartoons were more fun
@@FatKratos69 yeah i agree, that's why i said "seem" It ks definitely a subjective thing. Now then, Anime usually has a more detailed or realistic art style and a more consistent history line. But there are japanese cartoons that are just like the over sea ones (do not have the usual anime art style and do not have episodes that connect to each other a lot. Much like the simpsons or something like that)
When i was a kid Snake Eyes from G.i. Joe was the very first fictional character i ever saw and thought to myself “YES THAT! His suit! His swords! He’s a mute! I am all about this badass character” i feel like snake eyes really set the precedent for edglords in modern fiction.
Cobra trooper on the dock: "Last night of watch and I can finally retire after 20 years." (Sees snake eyes running toward him) Cobra Trooper: "....Oh Fu-“
Came out same year as the first live action movie. A co worker told me he loved the live action and hated this. From that point on, I couldn't trust a word he had to say
The only thing that makes me sick is the absense of blood. Snake Eyes had his hand trespassed by a sword and Storm Shadow had his vein sliced open. It had to be a river of blood.
I didn't appreciate them editing out Scarlet's choice to remain with Duke after years of going back and forth. It helps reaffirm the point that Snake Eyes isn't just some cold, faceless killer. He has very deep emotions. And a kind soul that the Hard Master saw worthy of his legacy.
@@jocelynthom2904 I think "Duke and Scarlett" are a nod to classic American culture. The Duke being John Wayne and Scarlett O'Hara from Gone With the Wind. But yes, far too clichéd.
WOW ... just wow. Everyone involved with RESOLUTE did an outstanding job ! i googled they wanted to return to aesthetics; the SNAKE EYES / STORM SHADOW STORY ... was resolved right here, as it was meant to be, well done. YOU TOOK ME BACK TO THE 80s ... thank you. I needed that right now in my life. Damn if I didn't shed a tear. Thumbs up. EDITE: Artwork, graphics and choreography were beautifully delivered. Anyone involved with the original G.I. Joe series, cartoon, comic and toys ... should be proud of G.I. Joe Resolute. just .. WOW.
I've never seen this movie. I don't care about GI Joe. But I consider this one of the all-time greatest fight scenes in cinematic history. The rage, the choreography, the intensity, the ambience. Just fucking incredible.
@@Hellowhoaryou a bunch of stuff but mostly making Snake be the selfish dick with no redeeming qualities whatsoever (even tho they are hinted at) fucks up everything and only sees he fucked up because after he neglected all the chances of making the right choice. Have you seen the movie? If not then you'll see how after all that Snake gets treated so kindly even after everything and Stormshadow who SLIGHTLY indulged into very fucking justified payback gets shunned. That's the best I can say without going spoiler mode. PS: you never see how he learned to fight, he's just amazing and learns how to be a master ninja with no training at all, oh, he also has a thing of saying he's not a murderer, he spares a very important guy to his story because he was just following orders, screams and everything, but he has no problem in killing the mindless Yakuza minions who run around. All in all, just shit.
The act of Snake Eyes burying Storm Shadow was a nice touch on the part of Resolute's creators. I find it amusing that although this had but a tiny fraction of the budget in comparison with Hollywood's take on G.I. Joe, both films were pitiful and utterly lacking in creative depth compared to this lowly animated feature. The only thing I would have changed about this is I'd probably have had Storm Shadow speaking Japanese instead of English, but that's a very minor complaint. G.I. Joe: Resolute was very well done.
storm shadow is multi lingual you know which is common for assassins he has likely spent the past decade or so mostly speaking english so its more natural to him njow
from what I understand, they were going to have Storm Shadow come back in a later sequel with him being very messed up psychologically due to him taking these 7 blows and essentially being killed in spirit. Like he was going to be just a vessel of rage and hate but not knowing why due to his spirit being annihilated here.
Well...considering the final blow of Seven Steps to the Sun in a palm heel strike directly to the T section of the nose and eyebrows..and the kind of force Snake Eyes puts behind those blows...yeah..I can see that. His first blow to the chest would have been fatal as the air pressure alone from the strike went THROUGH Storm Shadow's body..out his back..blew out the back of his Shozoku and the backpack and scabbards for his swords..so multiple layers of cloth and then wood as well? Yeah...I can totally see him coming back with more than a little brain issues as well as the metaphysical aspect of essentially killing his spirit.
@@ShinKyuubi i would pay MONEY to see this sequel because i would want to see how Storm Shadow returns. Back alive, but severely messed up or whatever they would have went with
@@crazyman7671 This is an underrated little gem as it is, I stumbled on this vid by complete accident some time ago looking up stuff for Snake Eyes as I was in a nostalgia mood for GI Joe. I wish it would get a sequel along with it's own series of movies so that time could be taken to make them good..I remember a small smattering of CG GI Joe movies back in the days of Block Buster video stores that I saw in the animated DVD section at one point.
@@ShinKyuubi oh you arent alone. GI Joe WAS Saturday morning cartoon TV and Sunday before church when it moved to Sundays, at my house. Soon as i heard "GOT TO GET TOUGH, YO JOE", i raced to the TV and parked it.
Oh thank god!!! After watching the new live action version I had to rewatch this fight scene to bring my world back the way it should be. THIS is Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow!!!
I remember seeing this movie at Adult Swim 10 years ago when I was like 12 in half years old. That was my favorite scene. I even forgot that one part where Snake Eyes broke Shadow Storm's Blade.
@@troopergio no hes not, he was taken in a taught by the Arashikage but hes not Japanese. In fact if you look up the old gi joe comics hes blonde, he used to take his mask off alot more back then.
Love the whole sequence. Grew up watching GI Joe after school in the 80’s. The only thing I HATE is changing the reason Storm Shadow hates Snake Eyes. I always loved Storm Shadow and saw him as a likable villain who wasn’t always a jobber and whose character was treated with more respect. Changing the story about him believing Storm Shadow was responsible for his uncle’s death cheapens the character and makes him shallow. I don’t even care that he lost because of the awesome way it was done. I do like to think Storm Shadow should be superior H2H because Snake Eyes uses modern weapons (which would give him a huge advantage if he used it) while SS focuses on traditional.
The best thing I loved about the "GI-Joe" franchise as a kid were the Ninjas! Lol Good stuff, glad they upgraded this series into something more serious.
Wing suits actually exist. They can make you glide on the air like flying squirrel for miles. All you need is to jump off something high like a cliff or an airplane.
What's even worse is that before Snake Eyes leaves the USS Flagg, Duke gives Scarlett an ultimatum about choosing between him and Snake Eyes and Scarlett chooses Duke right in front of Snake Eyes right before he's heading out on a mission that could lead to his death, that scene made me hate Duke.
6:14 You already know why, Storm Shadow!!!!!!!! Your sensei has chosen Snake Eyes for being "true successor" for completing the training and has excellent experience.
Here's the background on Snake Eyes: Snake Eyes is the code name of a member of the G.I. Joe Team. He is the team's original commando, and much of his history and information, including his real name, place of birth and service number, have remained "CLASSIFIED" throughout all depictions of his origin. All that is known for certain is his rank/grade (originally U.S. Army Sergeant/E-5, eventually reaching Sergeant First Class/E-7 before it too was made "CLASSIFIED"), his primary military specialty is infantry, and his secondary military specialty is hand-to-hand combat instructor. Snake Eyes was trained at the MACV Recondo School (Nha Trang), and served in LRRPs in Southeast Asia with Stalker and Storm Shadow, eventually leaving the service to study martial arts with Storm Shadow's Arashikage ninja clan. He has undergone drill sergeant training, and is a former U.S. Army Special Forces and Delta Force operator. Very little else about his past has been revealed. Snake Eyes was living a life of strict self-denial and seclusion in the High Sierra with a pet wolf named Timber when he was recruited for the G.I. Joe Team. He is an expert in all NATO and Warsaw Pact small arms and a black belt in 12 different fighting systems. He is also highly skilled in the use of edged weapons, especially his Japanese sword and spike-knuckled trench knives, but is equally qualified with and willing to use firearms and explosives. Snake Eyes is quiet in his movements and rarely relies on one set of weapons to the exclusion of others. During one of his first missions for G.I. Joe, Snake Eyes' face was severely disfigured in a helicopter explosion. Since then, Snake Eyes has had extensive plastic surgery to repair the damage, but his vocal cords cannot be repaired. He usually wears a black bodysuit, along with a balaclava and visor to cover his face. When out of his uniform, Snake Eyes is shown to be Caucasian with an athletic build, blonde hair, and blue eyes. Snake Eyes has been shown in most continuities to be romantically involved with fellow team member Scarlett. He has also had several apprentices, including Kamakura, Tiger Claw, and Jinx. His personal quote is "Move with the wind, and you will never be heard."
I love this one really cool part is when Snake eyes slices the arm bands off of Storm Shadow to kind of tell him that he took his own path but he had a choice
I think Storm Shadow's words were a confession of sorts. He knew that his claims of morality and honor were only a burden on his resolution to kill Snake eyes and now he had let go of that burden. This new found found resolve forced Snake eyes to use the seven steps which he had never been forced to do.
Storm shadow the only ninja in the whole of ninjutsu that wears all white. In the jungle, Forrest, desert. The one time he was in the snow it was white camo. Come on my guy.
Wait, if all he wanted was a one-on-one with Snake-eyes, why wer there so many guards stationed? It's like he requested them just so they can be killed.
To be fair, Snake Eyes' entire head is covered, and his vocal cords were irrevocably hurt by Zartan's first shot. He could probably grunt, but it seems he didn't. Also.... it probably would have hurt even MORE to pull the sword out of his hand, yet he does it so casually.
I am not a big Joe or fan of ninjas in general, but this sequence, and the story while snake eyes was at the dojo, was really good I enjoyed this more than I should when I first watched this
anyone notice how when Storm Shadow hit him at 8:30, you hear like a cheetah or Jaguar roar, and then at 9:33 when Snake Eyes hits him it's an Eagle or falcon sound. is this supposed to mean anything? just wondering.
The steps were based on a fighting style called Kung-Fu. Each one embodied ad animalistic nature of fighting. Also they are called the 7 steps to the sun so each step gets closer to the sun persay and an eagle is a flyer whoch is close to the sun
Holy shit...I didn't even NOTICE that until you pointed it out..and I've watched this at least 5 or so times over the last..like year or so cause it's one of the best fight scenes I've seen for G.I. Joe.
@@johnlloyddy7016 Yes it would but if you think about it that kind of technique and skill was mainly used by the Grandmaster who had to understand the world around them thus was able to master the final step. I feel that the eagle or falcon is like the 3rd to 2nd step in the 7 Steps to Heaven technique
Fun fact: the rifle that the cobra grunts use is based off of actual rifle designated as Br18. The rifle was developed by ST Kinetics, which is based in Singapore.
