Scooby-Doo and the Samurai Sword Page #3

---

Well, gang,

it looks like we've landed...

...smack dab

in the middle of another mystery.

It is no mystery.

The legend of the Black Samurai

has been told for centuries.

May I present Mr. Takagawa...

...most honored curator from

the Tokyo Museum of Cultural History.

Pleased to meet you, Mr. Takagawa.

You'll have to excuse us.

We don't really know much

about Japanese folklore.

But ghosts are kind of our specialty.

Speak for yourself.

My specialty is a triple-decker

Scooby Snack-and-ice-cream...

...with-chocolate-sauce sandwich.

Ha, ha. Mine too.

Yum, yum, yum.

The legend began

hundreds of years ago...

...when fierce warriors

known as the samurai...

...served the warlords of Japan

with absolute loyalty.

The most fearsome of all...

...were the ronin,

the samurai who had lost his master.

Set adrift,

like a wave on the open sea.

One ronin sought out

the master swordmaker Masamune.

The legendary master agreed

to forge the samurai...

...a sword of great mystical power...

...but it would take an entire year

to complete the work.

The master's evil-minded apprentice,

Muramasa...

...offered to forge him another sword,

but in only half the time.

The samurai returned...

...and upon drawing the blade...

...felt a surge of uncontrollable dark power.

The evil spirit of the apprentice

had passed into the blade itself.

It was a sword of hatred.

A sword of darkness.

A Sword of Doom.

And in that moment was born

the Black Samurai.

Finally,

the master's blade was complete.

He named it the Sword of Fate...

...and entrusted its mystical power

to a fearsome green dragon.

Heaven and earth trembled

as the two great swords clashed.

Until, using his sacred magic...

...the Green Dragon

defeated the Black Samurai...

...imprisoning him forever

within the Sword of Doom.

BLACK SAMURAl:

No!

Centuries passed,

and the story faded into legend.

Wow, Mr. Takagawa,

that's some story.

Like, story nothing.

That sounds more like a nightmare.

Yeah.

But what does all of this

have to do with the Destiny Scroll?

The Destiny Scroll

holds the only clue...

...to the secret location

of the Sword of Doom...

...in the form of an ancient riddle.

If the ghost can solve

the riddle of the scroll...

...he will reclaim the Sword of Doom...

...and free his evil spirit.

If only we'd gotten a good look

at that scroll...

...maybe we could have solved

the riddle first.

Yeah, like, too bad the scroll is gone.

Aw, too bad.

Heh-heh-heh.

Guess that's the end of this mystery.

No, my friends,

the mystery has only begun.

Huh! The Destiny Scroll.

So the other scroll was a fake.

Ha, ha. Psyche.

Yes, but the Black Samurai
