Trimmed off clip -- MC's pre-skit announcement: Entry number thirty-six, Lord of the Ninja. The moment we've all been waiting for is here. The hottest series in Japan is now safe for your children to watch. THANKS, CARTOON NETWORK!

Watch it, and then these two icons will make sense...

On a more serious note, I think the reason it was so incredibly popular with the audience (and got so many comments later) was because it was accessible in a general way. Everything was right there, even if you didn't know the story: I mean, first character comes on with a fighting stance. Second character calls him "foolish little brother" -- so immediately you can say, okay, I get the general idea. Add in Cartoon Network's known proclivity for removing even "damn", "god", and "death" from cartoons, let alone digitally removing blood, and it's pretty much a notion any US audience can grok.

Plus, it seems the American cons are all about being as utterly cracktastic as possible. The bigger a laugh, the wittier a concept, the better.

The final cry is "let go, let go, I must have my revenge". The version I have has the opening MC announcement and a slightly better sound pick-up on the vocals, but it doesn't have the MC's rather startled summary at the end. (The backstage camera cut to him as soon as XianPu was offstage, and he spent a good ten seconds struggling to compose himself even to even make a comment -- score!)
