Cartoon Network Asia: Lost and hunted in the strange city, Jay hides in a trunk of a car, only to wind up in a death-defying chase, pursued by the menacing Red Visors.[1]
Plot[]
Jay runs through crowds of people trying to avoid the Red Visors. In an alley, he notices the trunk of a car is open, so he hides and waits for the Red Visors to leave. Believing they are gone, he opens the trunk, but then he hears a call to put his hands up, so he raises them. However, he realizes the call was not for him and spies behind the truck. The call was actually for a hooded man, who tells the Red Visors that it was all a misunderstanding. The man hits them, then starts up his car. With their own cars, the Red Visors get in pursuit.
As the man drives, Jay complains to himself that he feels uncomfortable. Jay then opens the trunk, but then a Red Visor notices him and opens a spike in front of his own car to try and hit the man's car. The Red Visor hits the man's car, so the man complains that his rear lights had just been repaired. As a result, Jay is thrown into the man's window, and the man asks who Jay is. After noticing Jay's reflexes, he suggests that Jay is a ninja. With his car, the man hits one of the Red Visors' cars away. With the other two in pursuit and reaching a dead-end, Jay uses his golden kusarigama to drift the man's car but loses his weapon as a result. The man thanks Jay for his help, but then they crash into a Red Visor and his car.
In an alley, the man asks if Jay is alright. Telling him Jay is new, he introduces himself as Scott. Jay exchanges his name as well. Scott says it was nice to meet him and that he was waiting for Jay for a long time.
This marks the first appearances of Scott and Richie.
Despite Scott becoming an ally of the ninja in a later episode, this is the second short where a non-ninja, ally, nor a villainous character reads the title card. The first is "The Meaning of Victory."
When asked what Scott meant by ‘waiting for him (Jay) for a long time’, Tommy Andreasen confirmed that Scott has been waiting for Jay as a ‘savior’ of sorts.[2]
